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.

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.

ExecutiveGrowth Summaries

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?

HOORAY FOR HOODOO - A Child's...

B.P. GRAFF, J. Curtis

Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino.
Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo.
One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins.
Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight.
Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...
