Sinossi

The storm had been brewing for weeks.
When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building into something.
Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. We had no idea what lay ahead.
We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us.
Mali, Jonesey, Fara and Petey are reluctantly gathered in the library. They're not friends and they each have reasons they don't want to be there. As the rain starts, they do not bond as a group. Mali does not engage, Jonesy takes offence, Petey ridicules the others, Fara is silent, and their teacher Ms Devine is distracted. Outside, the bad weather steadily worsens. Soon they are trapped in the school, and pulling together may be the only way out when the storm begins.

    When no one is left to save you, save yourself or die trying.
     
    
     
    The one constant in Jules’ life is family—the plentiful Martin clan. Domestic terrorism brought the Martins together under one roof to endure food scarcity, punishing Gulf Coast heat, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing.
     
    
     
    One outhouse for twelve people is no way to live, but at least they are safe. For now.
     
    
     
    With every setback and stolen dignity, Jules questions whether she wants to survive at all. She keeps the family fed, hunting and fishing along the shores of Mobile Bay while avoiding both US Army patrols and The Knights, a homegrown militia group determined to convert all of Bellefontaine to their radical ideology and rid the seaside community of anyone who stands in their way.
     
    
     
    When two members of The Knights set their sights on Jules, violence lands on the Martins’ doorstep, threatening everyone connected to the family.
     
    
     
    The one bright spot Jules finds is in a chance meeting with an 11-year-old looter who gives her a new sense of purpose and a reason to survive. She sees herself in the rebel-boy—independent, foolishly fearless, and capable of making costly mistakes.
     
    
     
    Will she be able to protect the boy from rising violence? Or will they both become victims?
     
    
     
    Deliciously Southern and with a break-neck pace, Splintered Reeds is a timely domestic terrorism thriller that explores the fallout of a divided nation, the strength of family, and the journey through the complexities of grief, and the fight for autonomy in a world turned upside down.

    The great hunt is over. In the end, Timothy managed to keep his invaluable prize. A victory? Perhaps. But glory and adrenaline are very powerful narcotics, and tolerance builds quickly. Once deprived of them, life immediately becomes gray and bleak. What’s more, his beautiful lover (to be more accurate, both of them) is beginning to transparently hint that she could find herself a more interesting beau. 
    What is a talented player to do in this case? The solution suggests itself: rush headlong into the most dangerous adventures, taking risks and walking the blade of a knife. Timothy must do everything in his power to survive in places where making a clean escape is entirely impossible, delighting the viewers with his utterly unique playing style and proving decisively to his lady (to be more accurate both of them), that his previous success was no mere coincidence. 
    Will it be hard? 
    Very! 
    But old reliable friends are still by his side, and that means victory is possible!

    "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
    It is a journey. A transformation. 
    A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
    Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
    In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
    Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
    What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
    How we curl up when it gets too much. 
    How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
    How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
    And how we might eventually come to realize: 
    We were never "just a dot." 
    We are a story in motion. 
    With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
    your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
    A book to read slowly. 
    And feel for a long time.

    From armed bodyguard to galley slave, from loving husband and father to fiery preacher, John Knox was moved by a relentless passion for the honor of God and the purity of His truth and worship. Yet when he was a schoolboy growing up in the small Scottish town of Haddington, he could never have imagined that he would become a major leader of the powerful movement that transformed Scotland into one of the most committed Protestant countries in the world. Simonetta Carr tells the story of how this great Reformer, whose life began humbly, in a faraway, mysterious part of the world, influenced the church and its beliefs far beyond the borders of Scotland, shaping our thinking still today.

    This story is about how to be different and accept yourself as you are. We are all unique, and it's amazing. Once upon a stunning morning in the depths of the deep blue ocean, a wee fish peeped out from a tangle of seaweed behind a colossal rock for the very first time. As it surveyed the surroundings, it spotted a seahorse, a baby turtle, a dolphin calf, and a small moonfish frolicking in the sun-drenched sandy shore. The little fish realized that although it was still small, it was no longer the tiniest creature in terms of size. However, it was still keen on joining in on the fun and games, for it was little too...
