  I'm Madison Avery, in charge of heaven's hit squad . . . and fighting it all the way. 
  When Madison died the night of her prom, she knew her life would never be the same. Now she has a powerful amulet, a team of rogue angels by her side, and the ability to flash forward into the future to see the shape of destiny. And of course, now she's finally with Josh—a perfect boyfriend who doesn't even mind that she's dead. 
  But being dead has its disadvantages, too. Madison feels caught between the light and the dark, and between her real life and her timekeeper status. When Madison has the opportunity to get her body back—to be alive again—she faces her most difficult decision yet. If she claims it, she could return to being a normal girl—and have a chance at a real relationship with Josh. But would having the one thing she wants most in the world also mean giving up everything she's worked so hard for?

  Competitive cycling is a thrilling and demanding sport that requires a blend of physical endurance, mental toughness, and technical skill. Whether you’re aiming to excel in road races, time trials, or mountain biking events, understanding the foundations of competitive cycling is essential for success. 
  At its core, competitive cycling is much more than just riding fast. It is a structured discipline that involves strategic planning, consistent training, and mastering various techniques. Each cyclist brings a unique blend of strengths and weaknesses, making it crucial to tailor training plans to individual needs and goals. Understanding the demands of different types of races—be it criteriums, stage races, or endurance events—is the first step in defining your path as a competitive cyclist. 
  Training plays a pivotal role in achieving cycling excellence. It is important to strike a balance between endurance, strength, speed, and recovery. Cycling-specific exercises and drills help refine pedaling efficiency, enhance power output, and improve overall performance. Additionally, structured training plans that incorporate both on-bike sessions and off-bike conditioning are key to building the physical and mental resilience required for competitive cycling.

  In the 80th anniversary year, Jackie French explores the dropping of the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which ended World War 2. 
    
  1942. 
  Japan has bombed Sydney Harbour. Sixteen-year-old Ossie lies about his age to protect his country, even though it means abandoning his only family, a one-eyed dog named Lucky. 
  Kind-hearted Mrs Plum is already looking after forty-six dogs belonging to soldiers who've gone to war. She can't possibly care for another. But just when she's becoming desperate to find a way to feed them, help arrives: thirteen-year-old Kat Murphy volunteers to take Lucky and persuades the girls at school to help, too. 
  As Kat and Lucky grow closer, Kat realises he can still see Ossie, the master he loves. And somehow, Kat and Ossie catch glimpses into each other's lives, too. This extraordinary connection helps Ossie survive when he is taken as a prisoner of war to Japan. There, he witnesses a strange mushroom cloud rise above Nagasaki – the result of a bomb that will take, save and change lives, and forever leave the question: was it worth it? 
  Taken from first-hand Japanese accounts of that momentous but often misunderstood time, this is a story of quiet heroism and endurance in the face of an unimaginable horror that continues to resound to this day.
