Summary

In "The Pioneer Boys on the Great Lakes," St. George Rathborne crafts a vivid portrayal of youthful adventure and resilience amid the historical backdrop of the Great Lakes region. Employing a captivating narrative style that blends historical accuracy with a flair for storytelling, Rathborne immerses readers in the lives of two boys navigating the waters and challenges of the early American frontier. This work exemplifies the genre of juvenile fiction in the late 19th century, reflecting themes of exploration, bravery, and friendship, while providing a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic conditions of the time. St. George Rathborne, a prolific author with a penchant for tales of adventure, was deeply influenced by the romanticized notions of pioneer life and exploration that characterized his era. His own experiences and interests in the natural world coupled with an understanding of the historical significance of the Great Lakes served as fertile ground for this narrative. Rathborne aims to entertain while also instilling a sense of moral integrity and courage, traits essential for the young characters in his stories. Ideal for young readers and adults alike, "The Pioneer Boys on the Great Lakes" offers a delightful escape into a bygone era, encouraging a spirit of adventure and a love for nature. Rathborne'Äôs rich prose and engaging characters make this book a must-read for those who appreciate historical fiction and narratives that inspire courage and camaraderie.

    Welcome to The Confident Ummah, Adab Series. We were inspired to create books for our children and ummah so they can refer to them throughout their early years and better themselves as Muslims. 
The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah. 
Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.

    What is your poison? The love you cannot receive or the love you cannot give.  
Meet Itika Benegal, 31, single. Itika spirals towards a hasty resignation from a firm she had reluctantly joined eight months ago. Reason? Her invisible dent. Men.  Two decades of her life have gone sleep-walking through a painful past. Dimming her own shine, making herself invisible in plain sight. How? Oversized clothes & lack-lustre appearance  are her weapons of camouflage. She has no friends, no boy-friends, no dating history or social media presence. Itika has turned on the airplane mode in her life, wanting no attention from the world. But life suddenly decides to go rogue on her, sending her the perfect antidote for her darkness. Meet Sunny Nair, 38, single, accomplished, and the most influential partner of ANB & Associates. The angry-young man is all out to destroy Itika Benegal's nascent career, the very night he is introduced to her in an office party. Reason? His invisible dent. Women. Sunny has spent two decades of his solitary life in flamboyance. Wanting women, more importantly the broken ones.  
Sunny makes one terrible mistake. Believing Itika is broken.  
Set in a corporate landscape, the story will transport you into the minds of two competing lawyers, while journeying into the realms of their lesser-known sides. As Sunny & Itika collide in a strange encounter do they realise that they have more in common than meets the eye. Will Sunny & Itika be able to soften their rough edges and find a home in each other? Or will the shards of their painful past turn them into bleeding hearts in motion?  
Some journeys are insane. Especially the ones that begin at a dead-end. Brace for impact.

    The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick - Something is wrong with Dad… Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his father’s place?  
It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. The Father Thing is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954.
