The Girl Who Could Fix Anything: Beatrice Shilling, World War II Engineer
Author: Mara Rockliff
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536225673
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This true story of a woman whose brilliance and mechanical expertise helped Britain win World War II is sure to inspire STEM readers and fans of amazing women in history. Beatrice Shilling wasn’t quite like other children. She could make anything. She could fix anything. And when she took a thing apart, she put it back together better than before. When Beatrice left home to study engineering, she knew that as a girl she wouldn’t be quite like the other engineers—and she wasn’t. She was better. Still, it took hard work and perseverance to persuade the Royal Aircraft Establishment to give her a chance. But when World War II broke out and British fighter pilots took to the skies in a desperate struggle for survival against Hitler’s bombers, it was clearly time for new ideas. Could Beatrice solve an engine puzzle and help Britain win the war? American author Mara Rockliff and British illustrator Daniel Duncan team up for a fresh look at a turning point in modern history—and the role of a remarkable woman whose ingenuity, persistence, and way with a wrench (or spanner) made her quite unlike anyone else. An author’s note and a list of selective sources provide additional information for curious readers.

But the immortals only knew brutality and exhibited that upon mankind. Humanity rose against their false gods as a new era began for them. Yet throughout the millennia that proceeded, Coren had to learn many things about humanitys place and her own among them, including love, hate, and revenge. Who she once thought she could trust betrayed her. The immortal Cassie stole more than two hundred years of her life. As she emerged from depravation, the world she once knew changed forever. Corens journey to find Cassie has shown her that another vile spirit from the immortals past is being manipulated by Cassie for her own agenda. Coren seeks a nomad named Lawson, who unknowingly is the key to facing Corens past and confronting a very real threat to both humanity and immortals alike.

The Kremlin Letter
Author: Noel Behn
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 150403659X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller: Six American spies embark on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines in this classic Cold War espionage thriller. Lt. Cmdr. Charles Rone, a young naval intelligence officer with a sterling record, finds himself abruptly discharged from the service. Without his consent, Rone has been recruited to join a top-secret network of agents who operate independently of the US government. Led by a cynical spymaster known only as the Highwayman, the group will break any law and destroy as many innocent lives as necessary to stop the spread of communism. In Moscow, the Americans must make contact with a high-level mole in the Kremlin and recover a letter that could spark a nuclear war if it falls into the wrong hands. But treachery is an integral part of this shadow conflict between superpowers, and no sooner has the team arrived in the Soviet capital than the double-crossing begins. One devastating betrayal follows the next as Rone desperately tries to stay alive and out of the clutches of the KGB long enough to find out who compromised the mission. Inspired by author Noel Behn’s service in the US Army’s Counterintelligence Corps, The Kremlin Letter is a realistic and hard-edged tale of international intrigue that ranks with the best of John Le Carré and Len Deighton. A New York Times bestseller, it was the basis for a John Huston film starring Orson Welles and Max von Sydow.
