  Tom Read Wilson is here to take us on a rip-roaring tour through some of the most astonishing and amusing words in the English language with Every Word Tells a Story. See how the English language evolved in this extraordinary exploration of the origins of everyday words. Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the most surprising story behind it!  Did you know, for instance, that:  The word ‘bloomers’ comes from Amelia Bloomer, who was a women's rights activist and owner and editor of the first U.S. newspaper edited by and for women, who wanted to move more freely in her knickers?  Or that the word ‘daisy’ comes from the Old English dæges eage, meaning ‘day’s eye’, because the petals of a daisy open at dawn and close at dusk?  The word 'easel' comes from the Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and suitable for carrying a load?  Or that English nicknames for police officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the first modern police force?  Each fascinating word is explored through a quirky, amusing story alongside the etymology, word origin and definition.  Paired with beautiful, characterful illustrations by Ian Morris, Every Word Tells a Story is a perfect book for young wordsmiths, encouraging kids and adults alike to have fun whilst learning about language.

Sproul continues his project of illustrating theological concepts for children. The Priest with Dirty Clothes teaches the concept of imputation, which lies at the heart of the important biblical doctrine of justification.Using the story of Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1–5) as his jumping–off point, Dr. Sproul weaves a classic tale about a young priest who is invited to preach his first sermon before the king and his court. But on his way to the palace, he falls from his horse, getting his clothes hopelessly muddy. Jonathan finds that he needs powerful help if he is to stand before the king. This edition of The Priest with Dirty Clothes includes all–new illustrations by Justin Gerard and a new “For the Parents” section to help them bring out the truths of the book for their children.

  A violent accident leaves Thomas Dunbar in the care of a peculiar, brilliant, and oddly evasive scientist named Lawrence. As Dunbar recovers, he becomes entangled in the strange hum of unseen machines, secret experiments, and a life-or-death emergency that reveals he now possesses a strength no ordinary man should have. Something happened in that laboratory—something Lawrence never intended. And Dunbar soon realizes that the truth behind his new abilities may be far more dangerous than the accident that brought him there. 
  Francis Stevens, writing here under the name G. M. Barrows, was one of the most influential early voices in American speculative fiction. Often called “the woman who invented dark fantasy,” she shaped the genre long before it had a name, blending scientific imagination with eerie atmospheres and psychological tension. Her work appeared in the top magazines of the era, where readers were captivated by her originality, her bold ideas, and her ability to blend science, mystery, and the uncanny into something wholly new. The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar showcases her talent for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary—and the extraordinary into something unforgettable.
