Summary

An old enemy returns to pursue a vicious vendetta against Wrecker the Weasel and the Rotten Shed Gang in ‘Wrecker the Weasel and the Watermill Plot’, the second adventure of the British countryside’s most notorious egg thieves! Expect rollicking adventure, humour, and touching comradeship as the hapless smugglers do their best to outsmart the plans of the psychotic fox, Mandrake.    Against the background of a summer heatwave, Mandrake and his foxes set out to ruin Wrecker’s egg-smuggling operations, destroying birds’ nests, stealing eggs, and holding water sources to ransom. Before long Mandrake allies with sinister underworld figures in London in a bid to crush Wrecker’s supporters in the city. Facing the loss of his business, his gang, his friends, and ultimately his life, Wrecker must hope for a miracle of deliverance. Strangely, the ghost of an opportunity becomes apparent at the old watermill, and in the millpond which sits directly above Mandrake’s countryside headquarters. A well-engineered flood couldn’t possibly be the answer to Wrecker’s problems… could it?

    The Apocrypha is a word of Greek origin, meaning “to hide away,” “obscure” or “things that are hidden," and is the name that has been given to a group of texts found in some versions of the Old Testament recorded by Jewish writers. 
    Found inside the Greek Septuagint, some are believed to predate Christ they are considered to be canon scriptures by some churches but have been rejected by the Protestant denominations. 
    Now, in this book, The Apocrypha, you will find all of these ancient texts, along with three other books which offer insights into the Christian faith that were once thought to be lost, including The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jubilees and The Book of Jasher. Each of these offers the reader a look at certain events in Christian history and together form a unique account of well known events from a different perspective. 
    Perfect for students of biblical times but also written for general readership and those who have a passing interest in the book’s history and place within Christian thinking, The Apocrypha makes complex texts more generally accessible to the average reader. 
    Including more than 15 hidden books:1&2 EsdrasAdditions to Esther1&2 MaccabeesTobiasJudithWisdom of SolomonEcclesiasticus or Son of SirachBaruchEpistle of JeremiahPrayer of AzariahPrayer of ManassehBel and the Dragon...And much much more!

    Amos is sure there must have been LGBTQ+ people in nineteenth-century Illinois. His search turns up Albert D. J. Cashier, a Civil War soldier who might have identified as a trans man if he’d lived today. Soon Amos starts confiding in his newfound friend by writing letters in his journal—and hatches a plan to share Albert’s story with his divided twenty-first century town. It may be an uphill battle, but it’s one that Amos is ready to fight. 
    Told in an earnest, hilarious voice, this love letter to history, first crushes, and LGBTQ+ community will delight readers of Ashley Herring Blake, Alex Gino, or Maulik Pancholy.
