Synopsis

In "Friend Island," Francis Stevens crafts a compelling tale that intricately weaves elements of fantasy and social commentary, set against the backdrop of a mysterious island inhabited by diverse characters. The narrative unfolds with a rich, immersive literary style that incorporates vivid imagery and psychological depth, typical of Stevens' work in the early 20th century. Taking place in a fantastical realm, the story explores themes of friendship, isolation, and the human condition, reflecting the author's engagement with societal issues of her time, particularly the complexities of human relationships in an increasingly fragmented world. Francis Stevens, a pioneer in speculative fiction and one of the first women to make significant contributions to the genre, drew on her own experiences and observations of the challenges faced by individuals in society. Her background in both fiction and journalism allowed her to deftly examine the interplay of human emotions and societal structures. "Friend Island" showcases her talent for blending fantasy with real-world anxieties, ultimately enabling her readers to reflect on their own lives through the lens of her imaginative narratives. I highly recommend "Friend Island" to readers who appreciate richly layered storytelling and are interested in the intersection of fantasy and profound social insight. Stevens' unique voice and thoughtful exploration of friendship and community will resonate with those seeking not only entertainment but also a deeper understanding of the human psyche.

    Many young believers want to tell others about their relationship with Jesus but aren’t sure how to begin or can become rattled by questions. In fact, many young believers have their own questions about Christianity and struggle to find answers. 
    Detective J. Warner Wallace helps kids develop good investigative skills, so they can navigate tough questions about faith and share what they’ve learned with others. 
    As in their other Case Makers Academy books, J. Warner and Susie Wallace teach kids to think like detectives by reaching into their detective tool bag. While they search for clues to the real owner of a lost puppy, the cadets learn how to be confident in sharing with friends the truth of their faith in Jesus.

    Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest moment of our recent history in space was a disaster that was covered up?  Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest hero since Christopher Columbus, a cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin, turns out to be a lie and that he was not the first man in space, contrary to what the millions of history books claim?  Would you be shocked to find out that Yuri Gagarin could not handle his life of a lie, and spiraled down into a horrible state of alcoholism, depression, and mood swings, and was ultimately murdered by the KGB?   The Oscar-nominated actor, Elliott Gould, narrates this true story of recent developments and brand-new declassified evidence, now clearly showing that there’s much, much more than meets the public eye about the secret life, and purported death, of Yuri Gagarin…Also included in this audiobook are uncut and unfiltered interviews by Sergei Khrushchev (the son of the former head of the old Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev), along with interviews of a Soviet historian, as well as a former CIA analyst.

    Zach Darlington saved the world and hardly anyone knows about it.Aside from his best friend, Sandra; his annoying little sister, Naomi; and his friend Ash (who, by the way, is the King of Demons). Somehow, they’ve all managed to keep last summer’s fights against the Behemoth, the Leviathan, and the evil Knights of Apocalypse cult a secret for almost a whole year.Zach and Sandra have their hands full practicing with the archangel Uriel’s flaming sword (in case they ever need to fight monsters again), dodging bully Jeffrey and his sidekicks at school, and doing typical seventh-grade things like homework and watching their favorite horror movies. But when Naomi starts blabbing their secrets—and then disappears during their family’s Passover seder—Zach’s parents are worried and mad. At Zach!Since the sword went missing along with Naomi, Ash is sure that Uriel is to blame. Which means that Zach, Sandra, and Ash are off to Eden—the actual Garden of Eden—to save Naomi and bring her home.The Garden is no paradise. It’s full of scary angels, monsters, and tricksters ready to lay traps, not to mention the Knights of Apocalypse, who still hold a grudge against Zach for interfering with their apocalypse plans last summer.Can Zach make it through the overgrown, dangerous Garden to save his sister and bring her home? And will he still be grounded for life if he does?No one said being a seventh-grade hero was going to be easy.

    An untold American frontier story … 
    North Dakota, 1905  
    After fleeing persecution in the Russian Empire, eleven-year-old Shoshana and her  
    family, Jewish immigrants, start a new life on the prairie. Shoshana takes fierce joy  
    in the wild beauty of the plains and the thrill of forging a new, American identity.  
    But it’s not as simple for her older sister, Libke, who misses their Ukrainian village  
    and doesn’t learn English as quickly or make friends as easily.  
    Desperate to fit in, Shoshana finds herself hiding her Jewish identity in the face of  
    prejudice, just as Libke insists they preserve it. For the first time, Shoshana is at  
    odds with her beloved sister, and has to look deep inside herself to realize that  
    her family’s difference is their greatest strength. By listening to the music that’s  
    lived in her heart all along, Shoshana finds new meaning in the Jewish expression  
    all beginnings are difficult, as well as in the resilience and traditions her people  
    have brought all the way to the North Dakota prairie.
