Wings in a Wounded Sky

Kathryn Rossati

Sinopsis

While orphaned Ogg, Rae, dreams of being able to socialise with humans, she doesn't expect to be welcomed into the home of two complete strangers. When she learns they're from another land and have no idea that humans are supposed to fear and hate Oggs, she begins to settle down and count them as family.
 
But when the mysterious phenomena that brought them there - great gashes in the sky that cause dramatic shifts within Culmina's landscape - suddenly get more frequent, the situation soon threatens Rae's new-found way of life. Discovering that the cause is the war between the Fae and the Dragon-people, who live on floating cities high above the clouds, she vows to put an end to it to save those she loves.
 
To do so, she must team up with the sassy ninth princess of the dragon-people, the down-trodden third prince of the Fae, and Max, a fellow orphan and hot-air balloon enthusiast. But when prejudice runs high and time is running out, can she get them to work together?

Ten Boys Who Made a Difference

Irene Howat

Would you like to make a difference? These ten boys grew up to do just that – but first they had to change the church. How did God change them?  Augustine discovered the love of God and changed the way we think; Knox focused on God’s word and told his country the truth; Luther rediscovered God’s truth and gave it to ordinary people; Calvin realised that salvation was a gift from God and not a reward for what he did; Tyndale longed to print the Bible in a language that everyone would understand; Latimer urged people to read the Bible for themselves and made enemies as a result; Hus taught that God is in charge of the church and the world; Zwingli challenged people to obey God’s word in every area of their lives; Chalmers called the church to show Christ’s compassion to the poor and Shaftesbury pushed the church into making Christ’s love a living reality for everyone

The Forgotten Door

Alexander Key

"Well written fantasy with strong character emphasis and empathy" from the author of the sci-fi classic Escape to Witch Mountain (Kirkus Reviews). 
 
 
 
At night, Little Jon's people go out to watch the stars. Mesmerized by a meteor shower, he forgets to watch his step and falls through a moss-covered door to another land: America. He awakes hurt, his memory gone, sure only that he does not belong here. Captured by a hunter, Jon escapes by leaping six feet over a barbed-wire fence. Hungry and alone, he staggers through the darkness and is about to be caught when he is rescued by a kind family known as the Beans. They shelter him, feed him, and teach him about his new home. In return, he will change their lives forever. 
 
 
  
Although the Beans are kind to Little Jon, the townspeople mistrust the mysterious visitor. But Jon has untold powers, and as he learns to harness them, he will show his newfound friends that they have no reason to be afraid.

The Door in the Wall

H. G. Wells

The Door in the Wall by H. G. Wells - One confidential evening, not three months ago, Lionel Wallace told me this story of the Door in the Wall. And at the time I thought that so far as he was concerned it was a true story.
He told it me with such a direct simplicity of conviction that I could not do otherwise than believe in him. But in the morning, in my own flat, I woke to a different atmosphere, and as I lay in bed and recalled the things he had told me, stripped of the glamour of his earnest slow voice, denuded of the focussed shaded table light, the shadowy atmosphere that wrapped about him and the pleasant bright things, the dessert and glasses and napery of the dinner we had shared, making them for the time a bright little world quite cut off from every-day realities, I saw it all as frankly incredible. “He was mystifying!” I said, and then: “How well he did it!. . . . . It isn’t quite the thing I should have expected him, of all people, to do well.”
Afterwards, as I sat up in bed and sipped my morning tea, I found myself trying to account for the flavour of reality that perplexed me in his impossible reminiscences, by supposing they did in some way suggest, present, convey—I hardly know which word to use—experiences it was otherwise impossible to tell.
Well, I don’t resort to that explanation now. I have got over my intervening doubts. I believe now, as I believed at the moment of telling, that Wallace did to the very best of his ability strip the truth of his secret for me. But whether he himself saw, or only thought he saw, whether he himself was the possessor of an inestimable privilege, or the victim of a fantastic dream, I cannot pretend to guess. Even the facts of his death, which ended my doubts forever, throw no light on that. That much the reader must judge for himself.

Hypnos

H. P. Lovecraft

What happens when you go seeking after knowledge that man was never meant to hold? What happens when that knowledge gives you ideas about rearranging the cosmos to suit your fancy? Well, it turns out that challenging the merciless, inevitable elder gods of the cosmos for their power is a very, very bad idea.
