Summary

In "The Missing Formula," Mildred A. Wirt masterfully weaves a tale that combines elements of mystery, adventure, and young adult excitement, drawing readers into a riveting narrative centered around a stolen invention. Written in the mid-20th century, a period rich in technological innovation and social change, Wirt's style merges vivid characterization with suspenseful plot development, reminiscent of her acclaimed works in the Nancy Drew series. The book not only captivates with its intriguing storyline but also engages with themes of friendship, ingenuity, and the fight against injustice, reflecting the era's burgeoning fascination with science and invention. Mildred A. Wirt, an influential pioneer in children's literature, was known for her competence in crafting engaging stories that resonate with young readers. Her background in journalism and her extensive experience in writing mystery stories are evident in every page of "The Missing Formula." Wirt's personal experiences and societal observations likely influenced her portrayal of intelligent, resourceful characters who navigate the challenges of adolescence while showcasing their problem-solving skills, providing a model for readers to emulate. I highly recommend "The Missing Formula" to those seeking a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating read. It promises not only entertainment but also inspiration, inviting readers to embrace curiosity and creativity in their endeavors. Wirt's literary craftsmanship offers an enriching experience suitable for both young readers and the young at heart.

    12 Rules for Life became a #1 National & International Bestseller for a simple reason… 
(Please Note: This is a SUMMARY of Jordan B Peterson’s, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos) 
Dr. Peterson unearths archetypal principles that shape our lives. He first observes that Order and Chaos are the two primordial forces of the Cosmos. Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules, predictability, explanations, science, and conformity. 
In the 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces. The antidote to chaos is not merely order – it comes down to understanding the subtleties of life, realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game. 
Each Rule for Life will challenge you to examine your own approach to life and answer some tough questions about why you're living the way you do. It is only by transcending our own limitations that life becomes meaningful and rewarding. 
Who will benefit from this book? 
Whether you are an over-achiever burning through life, an under-achiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual seeking deeper truths of human nature, this audiobook is for you. 
The 12 Rules cover a broad spectrum where you will find advice on how to manage your thoughts and emotions, how to thrive, how to get along with others, and how to find a greater sense of meaning in life.

    Great Britain is an ancient land steeped in history and tradition, filled with prehistoric ruins, majestic castles, and a countryside sculpted from millennia of human habitation.. Its rolling countryside is dotted with prehistoric burial mounds and stone circles. Brooding castles hold tales of bloodshed and honor. Medieval churches have elaborate stained glass windows and gruesome carvings, reflecting a mixture of hope and darkness. Every hamlet and village has tales that go back centuries, and folk festivals with roots in pagan times. 
Not everything in Great Britain is as it appears, however. Some say this is a land haunted by spirits, a place of strange disappearances and unexplained phenomena. For centuries, people have told tales of ghosts stalking its historic buildings, strange creatures lurking in its primeval forests, and unexplained paths linking its ancient sites. There is no shortage when it comes to the strange stories the region has to offer, and the legends and lore have compelled many to dig a little deeper and even explore this wonderful land for themselves. 
Ireland also has a rich folklore. Everyone knows about the fairy folk and leprechauns and many have heard of the fearsome banshee, and there are also the usual ghost stories found in every old land. The stranger side of the Emerald Isle goes much deeper than that, however, with tales of phantom armies marching through the sky, sea monsters swimming in the waters around the island, and stories of strange powers and dark magic. 
Indeed, these tales are not consigned to the past; many unexplained occurrences continue to happen, even today. Here is a sampling of some of Ireland's odder aspects Ireland. Hopefully, it will inspire readers to learn more about Ireland’s mysterious past and unusual present, and perhaps get readers to visit Ireland themselves.

    A heart-wrenching middle grade debut about Kemi, an aspiring scientist who loves statistics and facts, as she navigates grief and loss at a moment when life as she knows it changes forever. 
Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion, and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out. 
But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi’s life as she knows it will end. 
But over the course of the four days, even facts don’t start to feel true to Kemi anymore. The new town she moved to that was supposed to be “better for her family” isn’t very welcoming. And Amplus-68 is taking over her life, but others are still going to school and eating at their favorite diner like nothing has changed. Is Kemi the only one who feels like the world is ending? 
With the days numbered, Kemi decides to put together a time capsule that will capture her family’s truth: how creative her mother is, how inquisitive her little sister can be, and how much Kemi's whole world revolves around her father. But no time capsule can change the truth behind all of it, that Kemi must face the most inevitable and hardest part of life: saying goodbye. 
A stunning portrait of grief, loss, and that moment in life that splits the world into ""before"" and ""after,"" Sarah Everett's middle grade debut is an unforgettable reading experience, from each insightful phrase, all the way to the explosive ending.
