Sinossi

For as long as Gemma can remember it's been her and Mum against the world. They're as close as can be, but deep down she longs to get to know the rest of her family – Gran and Mum's brother Joe – the family Mum turned her back on around the time Gemma was born. With the summer holidays approaching, Mum is invited on an adults-only holiday. Gemma spots a chance to uncover the story behind the family rift and convinces Mum to let her stay with Joe. He's the perfect uncle – fun, friendly and generous, and even signs her up for tennis camp. But Gemma can't shake the feeling that he and Gran are keeping secrets. As the truth emerges, can Gemma find a way to bring her family back together? A heartfelt story of complex families, forgiveness and new beginnings, for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson, Susin Nielsen and Cath Howe.

    Marnie's story in Embrace is an honest and raw portrayal of a mother's quest to understand and support her son Andy, who lives with ADHD, autism, and anxiety, which develops into a deep depression as he reaches his teens. In this gripping narrative, she takes readers through the ups and downs of parenting a child with neurological differences, from moments of frustration to life-changing realizations. 
    The book is structured in two parts-first, Marnie's touching, personal story, and second, valuable lessons learned over the years. These insights offer practical advice and hope for parents walking a similar path. With healing methods that include both conventional and alternative approaches, Embrace explores the profound growth that comes when we open ourselves to new possibilities and truly embrace our challenges. 
    This is more than a story about struggle; it is a celebration of finding purpose, strength, and a deep connection with your child. Parents will find both comfort and inspiration in the pages of Embrace.

    Martial arts have a rich history that spans thousands of years, evolving from ancient practices of self-defense and combat into a diverse array of styles and philosophies. The origins of martial arts can be traced to civilizations around the world, with evidence of early techniques and methods seen in ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and India. These practices were often closely tied to the need for survival, whether in warfare or personal defense, and they evolved as cultures exchanged knowledge through trade, conquest, and exploration. 
    In ancient China, martial arts were deeply influenced by philosophical systems such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Practices like Tai Chi and Kung Fu emerged not only as methods of combat but also as ways to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Similarly, in Japan, the samurai culture gave rise to martial arts such as Jujutsu, Kendo, and Karate, which emphasized discipline, honor, and respect for one’s opponent. Indian traditions, particularly those rooted in yoga and ancient combat systems like Kalaripayattu, played a significant role in shaping the spiritual and physical elements of martial arts in the region. 
    Philosophy is central to martial arts, transcending physical techniques to cultivate a way of life. Concepts such as humility, perseverance, and self-control are core to most styles, emphasizing that true mastery lies in the refinement of character rather than in brute strength. Martial arts often teach practitioners to seek balance, both internally and externally, encouraging them to remain calm under pressure and approach conflict with wisdom rather than aggression.

    From his early days living in small-town poverty, young Dutch Reagan's thoughts were always on the future. Whether helping his family through financial hard times or doggedly pursuing opportunities reserved for the few, Dutch knew that all the knowledge that he had absorbed over the years was waiting inside of him for a chance to come out. Achieving success as an athlete, sports announcer, and actor, Ronald Reagan discovered his greatest role late in life, as the fortieth president of the United States and The Great Communicator, a man with the ability to reach out to the American people and leave a lasting legacy.

    The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S. Bond is a clever and heartfelt story that captures the spirit of discovery—and the price that sometimes comes with it. First published in the golden age of science fiction, it tells of a man whose brilliant ideas and tireless curiosity push him to the edge of what science can explain. Bond balances humor and humility as he explores how genius can both uplift and isolate. It’s a story that feels as relevant today as it did decades ago—a reminder that progress often depends on dreamers willing to risk everything for an idea. 
    Like many of Bond’s works, The Scientific Pioneer blends imagination with warmth. His characters aren’t distant heroes or villains but ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. Beneath the scientific speculation lies a deep respect for human creativity—the kind that builds rockets, invents machines, or simply dares to ask “what if?” 
    Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author whose lively imagination helped shape early pulp and magazine science fiction. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a journalist before becoming one of the most prolific short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. His tales appeared in Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, and Blue Book, often featuring humor, irony, and unexpected twists. 
    Bond was best known for his Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman series, which combined scientific ingenuity with playful comedy. Beyond science fiction, he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and radio and television scripts, proving equally adept in every medium he touched. Though he later turned to other work, his early stories remain bright examples of pulp-era storytelling—energetic, human, and filled with wonder at what the future might hold.
