  What if I told you there was a way to make your child actually excited about bedtime? Not just willing to go to bed, but literally bouncing with anticipation for lights-out? 
  These aren't ordinary superhero stories. While other kids' heroes are busy punching bad guys and blowing things up, our heroes are doing something far more powerful - they're showing your child that they already possess the most incredible superpowers on Earth. 
  Imagine your little one discovering that talking to animals isn't just fantasy when they meet Thunder Paws, the golden retriever who speaks seventeen animal languages and reunites lost pets with crying families. Picture their amazement when they realize that being small actually makes you MORE powerful, not less, through Tiny Knight's incredible adventures. Watch their eyes widen as the Coral Guardian teaches them that protecting our planet isn't just important, it's heroic. 
  But here's what makes these stories absolutely magical - every hero your child meets is facing the exact same challenges they face every day. Scared about starting something new? We have a hero for that. Feeling too different to fit in? Our characters have been there. Worried they're not strong enough or brave enough or smart enough? These stories will completely change how your child sees themselves. 
  Each adventure is carefully crafted to begin with pulse-pounding excitement that captures even the most restless imagination, then gradually transform into the most soothing, confidence-building experience that melts away every worry and fear. Your child will drift off to sleep feeling like they can conquer the world, because they've just learned they actually can. 
  This collection will become the most treasured part of your family's routine. No more bedtime battles. No more "I can't sleep." Just pure wonder, valuable lessons, and the sweetest dreams imaginable.

  Moby-Dick or the Whale

  Herman Melville

  "It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it."    So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby-Dick is also a profound inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.

Going from the heights of falling in love and discovering his special powers to the literal depths of hell itself, join Anthony D. Benevolent as he pieces together the shattered parts of his life and his experience to solve the mystery of not only what has happened to him, but most importantly the ‘why’ and where it all leads.
