Treve, a beautiful and madly-alive collie, must fight for his life after his owner mistreats and rejects him. Through a series of unfortunate events he finds himself on the Dos Hermanos sheep ranch, and the two owners of that ranch become his new masters. Treve immediately loves and is loved by Royce Mack, the younger of the two ranchers, but Joel Fenno, an embittered, cranky old rancher, takes an instant dislike to Treve. He has “no time for measly pets and the like” and shows his contempt for the faithful sheepdog as often as he can. While the brave collie is protecting sheep, saving the ranchers’ lives, being kidnapped by his previous owner, and many other harrowing adventures, his loyalty and love is also turning the heart of a bitter old man.Ver livro

The unusual sensation of freedom that comes with horseback riding is a large part of the sport's attraction. A burst of adrenaline will race through your veins as you mount a horse and direct it through broad pastures or down twisting trails. You feel an exceptional connection with the natural world as the brisk wind whips past your face, the rhythmic sound of hooves striking the ground reverberates, and the strength beneath you produces an extraordinary bond with the environment. You are able to break free from the constraints of modern life and experience a more fulfilling connection with the horse as well as the natural world when you go horseback riding. Riding horses, in contrast to the widespread notion, is not a passive activity; rather, it uses your complete body and is therefore a satisfying form of physical endeavor. Being able to maintain your balance while riding a horse that is moving demands core strength, stability, and coordination. Riding helps to improve posture, develop core strength, and promote total body control because of the continuous activation of muscles during the activity. Riders also enjoy increased flexibility as a result of the process of adapting to the movements of the horse. In addition, the rhythmic motion of the horse's gait offers a low-impact kind of exercise that is beneficial to one's cardiovascular health and increases one's stamina. The connection that exists between rider and horse is indescribable. Horses are exceptionally observant animals, and the trust and bond that can develop between a horse and its rider is something absolutely unique and beautiful. You and your horse will develop a strong sense of connection and mutual understanding as you spend time together grooming, feeding, and otherwise taking care of it.Ver livro
Every adventure requires a first step. Emma did not know where all her early morning ideas came from. Her mother said it was because she was seven years old and filled with interestingness. How does anybody know if outrageous ideas can't happen if they have never tried? On that early Saturday morning, although Emma's morning idea was simple, it was also outrageous. Her idea was simple because of what she needed to do - decide on her favorite word, write the word on a piece of paper, place the paper in a bottle, and let the bottle float away into the mighty ocean. Emma's idea was outrageous because the ocean would carry the bottle on a magical journey, during which special young people who discovered the bottle would add their very own favorite words and, perhaps, - maybe, probably, finally, - the bottle would return to Emma's island. Follow the bottle as it navigates unforeseen obstacles and is discovered in exotic far-off places by some very special young children. Will the bottle survive the magical journey? Might the bottle be captured by a ruthless pirate, swallowed by a gigantic whale, or crushed by a talking polar bear? What if the young people who discover the bottle do not dare to return the bottle to the mighty ocean? A magical journey of words. The examples of positive character traits (adventure, creativity, resilience, integrity, empathy etc.), will resonate with young readers/listeners who are navigating their very own mightily curious life journey.Suitable for young independent readers.The perfect adventure story for adult directed bedtime reading.Ver livro
