Dallas Van Zant...Water polo god.Shameless flirt.Beautiful disaster in the most literal sense of that label. Trust me, it's not hyperbole. He's in big trouble with the law. What does this have to do with me, you ask? Unfortunately, a lot.For some reason, which I still can't quite wrap my brain around, I've been talked into driving him around as part of his plea deal. Problem is, he makes me nervous. I'm not good with people, men in particular, popular athletes especially.

I'm tired of feeling awkward around boys. I'm tired of never having had a boyfriend. I'm tired of being lonely. But I'm also not the type to turn away a person in need. So I'll do what I must to help him out. I'll just pretend that I'm not enjoying his company. And I'll ignore the fact that he's sweet and funny. And I'll tell myself every day that he's out of my league.Because I'm as inexperienced as they come...and Dallas Van Zant is nothing but wild.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The seventh book in the award-winning comic fantasy Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Unlike most teenaged boys, Teppic isn't chasing girls and working at the mall. Instead he's just inherited the throne of the desert kingdom Djelibeybi—a job that's come a bit earlier than he expected (a turn of fate his recently departed father wasn't too happy about either). It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun. First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad—a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit and betrayal—not to mention a headstrong handmaiden—at the heart of his realm. Sometimes being a god is no fun at all. . . .

Book Description
For fans of Neil Gaiman and How to Train Your Dragon comes a beautifully illustrated, fast-paced adventure about eleven year old Kyro, his best friend Andra, his trusted dog Cypher, and their race to save the stars. When the world first formed, the night was black and filled with dark creatures. The Elders knew their people couldn't survive under such a threat. So they made the ultimate sacrifice: they gave their hearts to the sky in the form of brightly shining stars to keep evil away. Now, eleven year old Kyro is a Star Shepherd like his father. He's spent his life tucked away in the outskirts of the small town of Drenn. There they watch the night sky for falling stars—and rush to rescue them when they do. Then one night, too many stars fall at once, and terrible dark creatures start to appear in the forest by their home. Kyro's father journeys to the Star Shepherd Council to report the threat. But when he doesn't return Kyro must figure out how to save them himself before enough stars fall for the dark creatures to make their return. Kyro, along with his trusty dog, Cypher, and his friend, Andra, must find the cause of the threat before it's too late. Perfect for 5th graders and boys 10-14, young readers will devour this fun, fantasy adventure if they love stories with: Drawings and illustrations Trusty sidekicks (especially the furry kind) Evil, mythical creatures Ancient robots

Wiliam Herschel
Author: Wolfgang Steinicke
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3754397370
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
The book describes the observational work of William and Caroline Herschel. It focuses on deep-sky objects, observed 1774-1817. Most were discovered by William in the monumental sweep campaign (1783-1802), assisted by his talented sister. 2500 objects were published in three catalogues. The study of the sky from southern England also concerned double stars and the Solar System, yielding the Uranus discovery in 1781. But William Herschel was much more than a mere observer. He built large reflectors, developed new methods and thought about the nature and evolution of cosmic objects and the structure of the Milky Way. He was an extremely influential astronomer and had a worthy successor, his son John.
