  Set at a camp over the course of six summers, this novel dives into the falling-out of two girls from different backgrounds who thought they'd be friends forever...until a production of Wicked brings all their buried issues to the surface. Claire Swinarski, Edgar Award nominee of the ALA Notable What Happened to Rachel Riley?, tackles privilege, perspective, and the power of friendship in this page-turning puzzle that readers will devour.  
  Eowyn Becker has waited all year to attend her sixth summer at Lamplighter Lake Summer Camp. Here, the pain of her mom’s death can’t reach her, and she gets to reunite with her best friend, Jules Marrigan—the only person in the world who understands her. This year will be their year--Wicked, the girls' favorite musical, has been chosen for the camp's end-of-year production. If anyone can be Glinda to Eowyn's Elphaba, it's Jules! 
  But when Eowyn arrives at camp, everything seems wrong. The best-friend reunion Eowyn had been dreaming of doesn’t go as planned. Jules will barely even look at Eowyn, let alone talk to her, and Eowyn has no idea why. 
  Well, maybe she does… 
  There are two sides to every story, and if you want to understand this one, you’ll need to hear both. Told in a series of alternating chapters that dip back to past summers, the girls’ story will soon reveal how Eowyn and Jules went from being best friends to fierce foils. Can they mend ways before the curtains close on what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives?

  Transformation - A Monster Took...

  Mary Shelley

  Transformation is a Gothic short story by Mary Shelley that explores pride, temptation, and the dangerous bargains people make with themselves. It follows Guido, a young man undone by arrogance, who encounters a grotesque dwarf offering him a terrible trade — one that will give him power and revenge at the cost of his very identity. The tale blends moral fable with supernatural unease, showing how a single reckless choice can unmake a life. Shelley uses atmosphere, confession, and shifting identity rather than overt horror, creating a story that feels more like a warning whispered from experience. 
  Though brief, Transformation carries the same concerns that run through Shelley’s larger work: the fragility of the self, the consequences of unchecked impulses, and the thin line between the human and the monstrous. Its power comes not from shock but from recognition — the sense that Guido’s downfall begins inside him, long before the supernatural enters the room. 
  Mary Shelley (1797–1851) was an English novelist and essayist best known as the author of Frankenstein, a book that helped shape both science fiction and modern horror. The daughter of philosophers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, she grew up among writers and radicals, later traveling through Europe with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Across her novels, short stories, and journals, she explored grief, ambition, invention, and moral responsibility. Works like The Last Man, Mathilda, and Transformation show the breadth of her voice beyond Frankenstein. Shelley wrote in a time when women authors were often dismissed, yet her ideas outlived the age that doubted her. Today she is regarded as one of the foundational figures of speculative literature.

  30 Years 80 Coaches Fighters...

  This book is about fighting, learning and studying people. 
  It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years. 
  Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this? 
  It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”. 
  This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower. 
  I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.
