Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the vast expanse of the ocean, where dreams take shape and destinies unfold, there lived a small minnow named Finn. Unlike his fellow minnows, Finn harbored an extraordinary aspiration—to become a sardine.

Finn's dream was met with disbelief and mockery from his community. They insisted that a minnow could never become a sardine, that it was against the natural order of things. But Finn refused to be discouraged. Fueled by unwavering determination, he embarked on a perilous journey to achieve his seemingly impossible goal.

Along the way, Finn encountered treacherous currents, formidable predators, and countless obstacles. Yet, he persevered, drawing strength from his unwavering resolve and the newfound friends he made along the way. From wise old sea turtles to playful dolphins, Finn discovered the true meaning of friendship and the power of unity.

As Finn journeyed farther from his home, he discovered a hidden world teeming with wonder and beauty. He learned from ancient creatures who shared their wisdom and taught him valuable lessons about life and the ocean. He discovered the importance of embracing change, the beauty of diversity, and the strength that lies within.

Through his extraordinary journey, Finn realized that his dream was not just about becoming a sardine. It was about breaking free from limitations, embracing his true potential, and living a life filled with purpose and adventure.

Join Finn on his awe-inspiring odyssey as he navigates the vast ocean, overcomes seemingly insurmountable challenges, and ultimately discovers the true meaning of his existence. "A Minnow's Dream" is a captivating tale of courage, determination, and the extraordinary power of belief.

James I Charles I Commomwealth &...

Gilbert Abbott À Beckett

Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! 
Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. 
Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. 
Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.

Defense Mech - A Fantasy Strong...

Ray Bradbury

DEFENSE MECH by RAY BRADBURY - Halloway stared down at Earth, and his brain tore loose and screamed, Man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars and danger and terror and maybe death.
Oh, my god, do you realize how far from Earth we are? Do you really think about it? It's enough to scare the guts from a man. Hold me up. Do something. Give me sedatives or hold my hand or run call mama. A million cold miles up. See all the flickering stars? Look at my hands tremble. Feel my heart whirling like a hot pinwheel!
The captain comes toward me, a stunned expression on his small, tight face. He takes my arm, looking into my eyes. Hello, captain. I'm sick, if that's what you want to know. I've a right to be scared—just look at all that space! Standing here a moment ago, I stared down at Earth so round and cloud-covered and asleep on a mat of stars, and my brain tore loose and screamed, man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars with a crew of fourteen others! I can hardly stand up, my knees, my hands, my heart, are shaking apart. Hold me up, sir.
What are hysterics like? The captain unprongs the inter-deck audio and speaks swiftly, scowling, into it. I hope he's phoning the psychiatrist. I need something. Oh, dammit, dammit!
The psychiatrist descends the ladder in immaculate salt-white uniform and walks toward me in a dream. Hello, doctor. You're the one for me. Please, sir, turn this damned rocket around and fly back to New York. I'll go crazy with all this space and distance!
The psychiatrist and the captain's voices murmur and blend, with here and there an emphasis, a toss of head, a gesture:
"Young Halloway here's on a fear-jag, doctor. Can you help him?"

Grandpere's Ghost Swamp

Rachel M. Marsh

"A perfect recipe of humor, family connections, honoring the natural world, and a ghost with unfinished business." —Lynne Kelly, USA Today bestselling author of Song for a WhaleJunior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection 
 
Kirkus Earphones Award 
 
Ferris meets Ghosts of Tupelo Landing in this cozy ghost story about family, environmental activism, food, and friendship. 
Basil Theriot has spent her entire life in New Orleans—in her family’s famed Cajun restaurant in the French Quarter, really—but she’s never been out to the bayou where her grandfather grew up. She’s also never seen a ghost, even though dozens of ghost tours pass by the restaurant every day and her best friend Tommy is determined to be a ghost hunter. 
But then Grandpere’s ghost appears. And he has a mission for her. 
Basil wouldn’t mind being haunted if Grandpere could be helpful and share his secret recipe that might save the restaurant. But instead, he’s intent on connecting Basil with her Cajun heritage. He sends her out to the bayou to meet his friends: an airboat captain, a shrimper, and a scientist rebuilding Louisiana’s fast-disappearing coastline. 
For fans of Gracie Under the Waves and A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall, Grandpere’s Ghost Swamp has a little bit of everything: a pinch of spookiness, a dash of environmental activism, and a heaping of family.
