Synopsis

discover or rediscover all the classics of literature.

Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and ​in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies—free of conscience and guilt. It's when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress.

Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson's story has so endured that "a Jekyll and Hyde personality" has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own—sometimes involuntary—duality.

    Golf is a sport deeply rooted in tradition and technique, making it essential to build a solid foundation before advancing to more complex skills. Understanding the basics ensures you not only enjoy the game but also improve steadily over time. 
    To begin, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the history of golf and how it has evolved into the game we know today. Golf’s origins date back several centuries, with Scotland being widely regarded as the birthplace of the modern game. Knowing this background fosters an appreciation for the traditions and etiquette that define the sport. 
    Equipping yourself with the right gear is another key step in mastering the basics. Golf clubs come in a variety of types, including drivers, irons, wedges, and putters, each designed for specific shots. Understanding their functions and learning how to select the right club for each situation can significantly impact your game. Beyond clubs, you’ll also need to consider golf balls, shoes, gloves, and apparel suited to different weather conditions. 
    Rules and etiquette form the backbone of golf, emphasizing respect for the game, the course, and fellow players. Learning the rules is not only about avoiding penalties but also about ensuring smooth and enjoyable play. Key principles include maintaining pace of play, repairing divots, and marking your ball on the green. Golf etiquette highlights the importance of courtesy, such as remaining quiet during another player’s swing and waiting your turn to hit.

    Princess in Black meets Monsters, Inc. in a zany, heartwarming new series for early readers 4-8! Written by the acclaimed Corey Ann Haydu, Zoomi and Zoe explores the wonder and anxiety of life's first big transitions with warmth, whimsy, and plenty of silliness. 
     
    Zoomi and Zoe were proud to conquer their first Tricky Turnaround together, but the second book in the series brings more changes for the new friends: Zoomi and Zoe are both going to be big siblings! 
     
    Zoomi thought her family was pretty great as it was, but then her parents bring home a new baby. (In Zoomi’s humble opinion, Fizzle is very boring and kind of rude.) Meanwhile, Zoe’s dads have a wonderful surprise: Zoe is going to be a big sister, too! But Zoe’s new brother doesn’t seem to like her very much. Why does he keep crying when Zoe is around? 
     
    Fortunately, Zoomi and Zoe have a plan: Baby School! With help from Izly and Doug, these unlikely friends are positive they can teach their new siblings how to be better babies—starting with how to sing the alpha-bing, and how to appreciate their big sisters. But teaching Baby School isn’t as easy as it sounds. Can Zoomi and Zoe come to terms with the changes in their families, and even learn a thing or two about these loud, smelly creatures along the way? 
     
    Enter through the Pineapple Portal to join Zoomi and Zoe in their second adventure, and keep an eye out for the other books in this zany, hilarious new series for emerging readers: The Tricky Turnaround (book one), and a third title releasing in 2026!

    No one thought much of young Thomas Alva Edison. He couldn’t focus at school and caused trouble around the house. But where others saw a distracted and mischievous boy, his mother saw imagination and curiosity. At only seven years old, Al, as he was called as a young child, was educated by his mother at home, who understood his potential could be unlocked with non-conventional learning, allowing him freedom to explore, dream, and be inquisitive. Those early years of encouragement, motivation, and loving guidance shaped Al’s future and formed the courageous man who would apply those valuable lessons to inventing the phonograph, the motion picture camera, the light bulb, and more.
