But when he'd been gone eighteen months in a ship that was supplied for only ten days, the authorities were just a trifle curious....The Man From Time by Frank Belknap Long - The method by which one man might be pinpointed in the vastness of all Eternity was the problem tackled by the versatile Frank Belknap Long in this story.

  Perennial New York Times bestseller and trusted voice Dr. Gary Chapman teams up with Dr. Jennifer Thomas to share relational survival skills for every teen.Relationships matter. But they’re also hard. Conflict is a reality in life that can lead to isolation, anger, and broken relationships. With the proper tools, however, teenagers can learn to respond to conflict and experience meaningful community. They don’t have to be controlled by their frustrations. Instead, they can manage and even reverse the effects of anger.  A Teen’s Guide to Conflict—a natural complement to the bestselling, A Teen’s Guide to the 5 Love Languages®—helps teenagers tame the powerful emotion of anger, apologize (and receive apologies) in ways that actually work, and handle difficult or damaged relationships. Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas’ new book with Paige Haley Drygas answers questions like:  What’s the difference between good and bad anger? How can my anger accomplish positive change? What if I’m angry with myself? Are there different ways to manage conflict—friends and family vs. people online? When do I make things right, and when should I set boundaries?   Why do some apologies fall flat?   
  Readers discover a straightforward overview of the 5 apology languages, two assessment instruments, practical examples, and tips for real life situations.  Teens’ relationships matter. The principles they learn in this book will equip them for relationships that thrive now and in the future.

  Up in the attic of faded threads in Patchwork Pines, where quilters stitch whispers into quilts and fabric merchants deal in pieces of the past, sleuth Nora patches a clue with merchant Elias, whose deals stitch together a tapestry of missing heirlooms. Their quilt, stitched in fabric vows and thread-kissed patches, reunites truth—or unravels in tangled seams of doubt. As they sew through attic-laced boxes and clue-bound bolts, patched by thread wardens and fabric rivals, Nora's quilting vision merges with Elias's merchant trade, unveiling a patchwork legend of stitched reunion. When a loose stitch summons dust sprites, they must patch the clue to mend the weave. In the whisper of quilted patches, where every stitch mends a memory and every deal reveals a pattern, their soft mystery becomes the quilt that covers the attic's secrets.

  Etta isn't like other kids at school, and she's proud of it.
