The Lords of the Wild

Joseph A. Altsheler

Summary

A classic coming-of-age novel set in the midst of the French and Indian War In the wilderness of the Northeast, Robert Lennox’s life is staked on how well he can evade the fierce Tandakora and his persistent warriors. Attuned to every sound and movement in the forest, he follows birds and hides his tracks in bubbling brooks en route to joining up with his friends Tayoga, an Onondaga warrior, and David Willet, a skilled hunter. Two forces compete in Robert’s mind: a deep reverence for the beauty of the natural world, and an entrenched unease over ever-lurking danger.   First published in 1919, The Lords of the Wild is a heralded entry in Joseph A. Altsheler’s French and Indian War Series, which follows the exploits of young Robert Lennox and his friends as they are embroiled in one of the most tumultuous conflicts of American colonial history.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

The Endangereds

Philippe Cousteau, Austin Aslan

It’s time for animals to take fate into their own paws! The Endangereds is the first book in a thrilling new adventure series by world-renowned environmentalist and Emmy-nominated host of Xploration Awesome Planet Philippe Cousteau and award-winning TURBO Racers author Austin Aslan.
Innocent animals are in trouble: temperatures are climbing, tides are rising, and nature is suffering. Someone needs to step in to rescue animals from extinction. Someone needs to turn this mess around, before it’s too late.
And that someone is . . . the Endangereds, the unlikeliest heroes you’ll ever meet—a superstrong polar bear, a pangolin with a genius for engineering, an extremely sarcastic narwhal, and an orangutan with a big dream.
Together, these four daredevils are determined to save endangered species across the globe, no matter what the risk. Rappelling into an underground cavern to save the day? No problem. Looping video footage to sneak through buildings unnoticed? Got it covered. Opening a doorknob? Okay, pretty hard without thumbs. But don’t worry. No matter what it takes, the Endangereds will get the job done.
But when two of their friends get kidnapped by a villain with a dastardly agenda, the team finds themselves up to their snouts in trouble. Can the Endangereds save the day? Or will this villain put humans and animals alike on the extinction list?
The A-Team meets the animal kingdom in the first book in the thrilling new adventure series from the host of Xploration Awesome Planet Philippe Cousteau and award-winning author Austin Aslan.

Tales of the Lost and Found...

Shana Gorian

Three mysterious adventures:
1. THE HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE
On a visit to a coastal harbor town, the world is Noah’s oyster as long as the stormy weather doesn’t ruin the fun. Summer break has just begun, and with seven days of freedom, how much trouble can thirteen-year-old Noah, his best friend, and his sister really find? Plenty, as it turns out.
Because when the kids go snooping around an old, decommissioned lighthouse, its troublesome secrets begin to reveal themselves, and the kids are about to stumble upon a hundred-year-old mystery that still haunts the nearby fishing village.
2. THE LEGEND OF CREEPY HOLLOW
Noah’s got his hands full, although he doesn’t mind the freedom that a weekend at the Murphy’s apple orchard in New York State offers. He’s got farm chores to do and a geocache to locate—an extra credit assignment that might be his only chance at raising his failing history grade.
But when its GPS coordinates point toward a massive corn maze smack in the middle of a popular fall festival, the hunt becomes a lot more complicated than he’d imagined, especially when the gang learns of the vengeful nineteenth-century ghost rider haunting the fields.
3. THE CURSE OF PIRATE'S COVE
When a friendly shopkeeper spins a sordid tale of pirate legend on their first day of vacation, Noah dismisses it as nothing more than a thrilling tale. Yet, following his souvenir treasure map through the Caribbean rain forest in pursuit of the elusive “X” sounds like a fun way to spend a day in paradise.
Little does he know the pursuit could change his life forever. Because as he and his sister and best friend inch closer to the treasure, the unimaginable might just become reality. And if it does, can the kids defy the odds and escape with their lives?
For ages 8-12

Slow Down Busy Bee

Trevor James

Slow Down, Busy Bee is a series of short stories about mindfulness by writer, Trevor James. Utilizing a centering technique sometimes referred to as 5-4-3-2-1 (which engages the 5 senses as a way to connect with the present moment), Slow Down, Busy Bee introduces the concept of mindfulness in an accessible, fun, and engaging way. The story also introduces the always-buzzing Busy Bee, his home in a pristine wildflower meadow, and the meadow’s wise old bee - who serves as Busy Bee’s mindful mentor. Walking with Ghosts is a courageous examination of the painful and formative experiences of how Gabriel Byrne became who he is today. With poetic sensibility he recalls the people, landscapes and culture that have influenced his life and work. Defiantly original, this is both a candid exploration of the ambivalence of fame, and a lyrical often heartbreaking account of boyhood in an Ireland now largely disappeared.
