20000 Leagues Under the Seas - Illustrated and Annotated Youth Edition

Jules Verne

Sinopse

A sea monster has triggered alarms worldwide, and an expedition is finally organized to capture it. The expedition includes the renowned professor of Natural History, Pierre Aronnax, his assistant Bastienne, and the expert Canadian harpooner Ned Land, aboard the American frigate Abraham Lincoln. The monster turns out to be a remarkable submarine commanded by Captain Nemo, and the need to keep this secret poses a serious problem for the captain regarding the release of the three main characters. Captain Nemo, a wise man tormented and disillusioned with the human race, embodies both libertarian individualism and an exaggerated sense of justice, undoubtedly making him one of the archetypes of the adventure novel genre. His presence alone justifies the distinguished place that "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" holds within the genre.

Yet, the novel offers much more: excitement, knowledge, suspense, unforgettable characters, and unexpected twists... It stands as a milestone in adventure literature and a boundless source of inspiration for future speculative fiction. This Illustrated Youth Edition of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is the perfect introduction for young readers at home to Verne’s work, and also an excuse for adults to swiftly revisit a classic of adventure literature.

ORB - A Sci-Fi Story For Kids

E. M. Buchan

Would you still believe in God if aliens exist? A Christian family is faced with that difficult question when THEO, a typical nine-year-old homeschooler, watches an alien orb fall from space and land in a nearby forest.
My name is Elijah and I am a Christian author and I aim to write fiction in multiple categories that not only avoid evil concepts, but actively point my readers to King Jesus and His amazing works.
My wife and I homeschool our children and I wanted to write a book featuring homeschooler elements casually. You'll notice many novel Christian concepts are assumed in this book. That was also one of the goals of this book. I want the kids reading this book to not feel othered by being a homeschooling Christian. After all, there aren't many books with a main character in that demographic!
The main goal of this book, of course, is to address the growing concerns within the church about aliens. We are shown alien-filled Hollywood propaganda constantly and have been for several decades. Why? And why are UAP/UFO/ET sightings on the rise? Why is it that all the conservative podcasters are adamant that aliens are not only real, but have communicated with our world before? Are we seeing a return of Genesis 6-like events where demonic forces are deceiving people by the millions into disgusting practices and worship? Maybe. So why don't we talk to our kids about aliens, but from a proud and victorious Christian perspective? If aliens are real what does that mean about the existence of God?
Join me and my children in this dialogue by reading this new book... ORB: A Sci-Fi Story for Kids.
