  By the time my papers had been located and the form filled and stamped by the jury and my luggage had been found and loaded on a three-wheeled cart, Joe's sun was setting. A guard who talked enough to reveal that his name was Smith guided me through the stifling streets. Already the dark nebula was visible and thunderclouds on the horizon added to the possibility that the sky was having convulsions. 
  Smith helped me pull the cart up a ramp to the planked walk of the outer wall. Guards stood at intervals and peeped through infrared goggles or checked strange instruments. Some laughed after we passed.

  Sargent Family Productions presents a full-cast, dramatized, original music production of award-winning author K.M. Weiland's gaslamp fantasy novel, Wayfarer! 
  In this heroic gaslamp fantasy, superhuman abilities bring an adventurous new dimension to 1820 London, where an outlaw speedster and a master of illusion do battle to decide who will own the city. 
  Think being a superhero is hard? Try being the first one. 
  Will’s life is a proper muddle—and all because he was “accidentally” inflicted with the ability to run faster and leap higher than any human ever. One minute he’s a blacksmith’s apprentice trying to save his master from debtor’s prison. The next he’s accused of murder and hunted as a black-hearted highwayman. 
  A vengeful politician with dark secrets and powers even more magical than Will’s has duped all of London into blaming Will for the chilling imprisonments of the city’s poor. The harder Will tries to use his abilities to fight crime, the deeper he is entangled in a dark underworld belonging to some of Georgian England’s most colorful characters. 
  Only Will stands a chance of stopping this powerful madman bent on “reforming” London by any means necessary. Unfortunately, Will is beginning to realize becoming a legend might mean sacrificing everything that matters. 
  Experience this adrenaline-fueled historical superhero adventure today!

  To swim in that river full of shining stones was one of the most beautiful things that ever happened in her life. Somehow she knew the names of the stones: emerald, ruby, topaz, sapphire, sardonyx, onyx, jade, pearl, lapis lazuli... she just didn't see any diamonds. It made her think of her grandma’s jewelry box, the one she found in the room where grandmother lived. It was one of those boxes that, when you lifted the lid, a ballerina appeared twirling at the sound of a funny song.” After following a rainbow through the door, Giovanna found herself in a completely different place and having the adventure of a lifetime, the biggest a 10 years old could ever dream of. What she’s going to experience does not happen everyday and is not for the faint of heart. This book will take you on a delightful adventure, the kind of adventure that can only happen when you are 10 years old. By following the Call of Laniwai, Giovanna will leave sadness, boredom and loneliness behind. Life is supposed to be light and FUN!
