Epidemic is an inspiring book that is intended to motivate any
individual, but particularly the youth of North America who are
living with stress and not fulfilling their life's potential due to
the pain of obesity, bullying or harassment. This negative
behaviour can seriously affect the self-esteem and personal growth
of children and can be carried along with them well into adulthood.
Epidemic addresses this growing problem and presents the answer on
how you can overcome this epidemic. My book teaches you how to have
a positive outlook on life and how to make your dreams become a
reality by showing you the path to success. By learning how to take
control of your life through a positive attitude, visualization and
meditation you will realize the answer lies hidden within you. I'm
on a mission to rid obesity, bullying, harassment and negativity
from the lives of young people and it's my hope that as a society
who treasures their children we recognize that many are silently
suffering from this epidemic. Epidemic can give your child the
tools to overcome adversity and achieve the success they envision
for their future.
Relax Kids helps children manage their monsters of anxiety and
worry, deal with the dragons of anger and stress, and make friends
with their gremlins of grief and sadness.

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. An explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers at UNC – Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape – until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.
A flying demon feeding on human energies.
A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.
And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.
The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.
She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets – and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight.
