PENNY PARKER is a teen-aged sleuth and amateur reporter with an uncanny knack for uncovering and solving unusual, sometimes bizarre mysteries. The only daughter of widower Anthony Parker, publisher of the "Riverview Star," Penny has been raised to be self-sufficient, outspoken, innovative, and extraordinarily tenacious. Her cheerful, chatty manner belies a shrewd and keenly observant mind. Penny was the creation of Mildred A. Wirt, who was also the author of the original Nancy Drew series (under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene). Wirt became frustrated when she was pushed to "tone down" Nancy Drew and make her less independent and daring. With Penny Parker, Wirt had a freer hand and received full credit. Wirt once said, " 'I always thought Penny Parker was a better Nancy Drew than Nancy is."

Penny boldly investigates, certain that danger threatens her new friend Rhoda, a gifted, but poverty-stricken artist. - Summary by Cheryl AdamShow book

This is the person, I said after I will come a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made visible to Israel, therefore, am I come baptizing with water to repentance.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it sat on him.” “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, ‘On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire.’ And I saw, and witnessed that this is the Son of God.” The next day John stood up with two of his disciples; And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world!”Show book
In The Shambler From The Stars, Robert Bloch delivers a gripping tale of ambition gone astray, where a young writer’s hunger for originality draws him toward ancient texts, forbidden lore, and whispers of powers beyond human comprehension. What begins as an intellectual quest soon becomes a descent into unseen realms, as curiosity pushes past fear and caution is cast aside in pursuit of creative greatness. As the narrator and his learned friend uncover secrets buried for centuries, the cost of knowledge reveals itself in terrifying ways. Bloch blends cosmic dread with psychological intensity, crafting a story where unseen forces press against the fragile boundaries of reality, and where a single invocation changes everything forever. Robert Bloch was one of the defining voices of twentieth-century speculative fiction, known for blending horror, science fiction, and psychological tension with sharp prose and relentless pacing. A protégé and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft, Bloch absorbed cosmic horror’s vast themes and reshaped them into tightly focused, character-driven narratives. Though many know him as the author of Psycho, Bloch’s earlier weird fiction laid the groundwork for modern cosmic and psychological horror. His stories explore obsession, forbidden curiosity, and the fragile nature of sanity—making The Shambler From The Stars one of his most enduring and influential early works.Show book

Every morning, Percy performs his magnificent display, spreading his beautiful tail feathers like a fan of emerald, sapphire, and gold. His daily dance brings joy to everyone on the farm, from the farmer and his wife Mary to the barn cat Ginger and the sheepdog Blue. One blustery morning, strong winds arrive unexpectedly, disrupting Percy's peaceful routine. Despite his confidence and determination, Percy finds himself unable to perform his cherished display as the wind keeps blowing his magnificent feathers out of place. Each try ends in frustration and embarrassment, leaving the proud peacock feeling defeated and ashamed. Two kind-hearted children, Lily and Tom, witness Percy's struggle from the farmhouse.

Lily suggests they help Percy by bringing him to the safety of the big red hay barn, where the wind cannot reach.

Grateful for their kindness and friendship, Percy plucks four of his most beautiful feathers for each child as a token of appreciation and good luck. The story concludes with Percy learning that true friendship is more valuable than individual pride, and that sometimes we all need help from others.
