Summary

An important book for readers of all ages, Irvine Press brings quality biographies for kids through engagingly written volumes of true-to-life stories of important figures in history. 

Our message is simple: Dream Big, We'll Show You How.

It’s the first time that Jackson meets his father’s youngest brother, Anthony. His father tells them that his uncle has to stay with them for sometime, because he has important things to do in their town. 
He doesn’t see anything wrong with the idea, until he finds out that it is so hard to connect with his own uncle. He seldom talks and is seemingly detached, and it brings Jackson a kind of discomfort. One day, when he has to go inside the guest room where his uncle stays, an extraordinary-looking bag catches his attention, and for a curious child like him, he believes that there is something inside his uncle’s bag that will help him determine why he is such a person who almost doesn’t talk.
Will Jackson discover something interesting inside his uncle’s bag?

    The crown demanded everything. The kingdom will answer.  Chaos paints the White Kingdom. Missing children, dead nobles, and a daring escape have created an upheaval that threatens the future of the entire realm.   The lords and ladies are armed with a powerful secret weapon as they prepare to make a stand against the crown, but the resistance has plenty to overcome before they can claim triumph. The lord-less Westerlands prepares for war with the formidable Quinlanden Guard spreading their men and cruelty to every corner of their Reach. In the Easterlands, the sorcerer Mortain cultivates his ominous influence over the enslaved Saleen, a decisive threat he could unleash upon the kingdom with a snap of his finger.   To the kingdom, it appears as if these assaults on their freedom are cosigned by the crown. It seems only a matter of time before the king’s victory becomes total.   But from his isolated throne in Duncarrow, King Eoghan has discovered his authority is not absolute. There are other powers at play, as sinister as they are resilient. Those close to him curate the facts he is fed, keeping him tucked away in the dark while they issue orders in his name. As his control spirals, and opposing forces gain ground, the king’s fragile resolve turns to desperation.   Yet, across the kingdom, a quiet but powerful awakening of magic is taking place. One that began generations ago, on a cold night in Duncarrow...

    The town's hottest firefighter just put out the fire in my pants. Literally. 
 
 
 
Ace Hellman. Star quarterback. Grumpy-as-hell firefighter. Chief pain in my ass. 
 
 
 
He's beyond arrogant, inducing women to fake emergencies just to see his sexy swagger as he comes to save them. Not me though. That fire was a total accident. I swear. He and I actually have a long history of hating each other, starting with him ruining my live performance of the Nutcracker in kindergarten and ending with me being the only woman in town under forty whom he hasn't dated. I wear that title with pride. 
 
 
 
Now that we've been roped into teaching a first aid class together, things can't get more awkward. He's determined to prove me wrong at every turn, and I'm determined to stop picturing him without his coveralls. I refuse to hide who I am, and Ace stands for everything I'm against. 
 
 
 
He's so wrong for me the whole town knows it. So why do I feel like we start a fire every time we're together?
