Where legend and history collide, one young woman will fight for the innocent. Born a baron's daughter, Lady Merry Ellison is now an enemy of the throne after her father's failed assassination attempt upon the king. Bold and uniquely skilled, she is willing to go to any lengths to protect the orphaned children of her former village--a group that becomes known as "The Ghosts of Farthingale Forest." Merry finds her charge more difficult as their growing notoriety brings increasing trouble their way. Timothy Grey, ninth child of the Baron of Greyham, longs to perform some feat so legendary that he will rise from obscurity and earn a title of his own. When the Ghosts of Farthingale Forest are spotted in Wyndeshire, where he serves as assistant to the local earl, he might have found his chance. But when he comes face-to-face with the leader of the thieves, he's forced to reexamine everything he's known.

When their father goes missing after a mysterious train crash, Everett
and his little sister Bea find a curious pen in his belongings, and its
magical Ink begins to rewrite their once-ordinary lives. The Ink leads
them to a world they never knew existed—one teeming with impossible
magic, formidable allies, and villains who are determined to destroy
everything they hold dear. Together, Everett and Bea embark on an
adventure through secret tunnels in England and Scotland to find and
protect the last Inkwell, and ultimately to save their father. But in
order to do so, Everett must find a way to tap into the most magical
power of all: his courage. Perfect for fans of The Silver Arrow, The
Bookwanderers, and Inkheart, this classic battle of good and evil pits
creativity against the forces that would seek to blot it out for good.

After you ve seen all the evidence, you ll know for certain who the real Jesus is, and you ll be able to help others know him as well."

It has been used and promoted by great saints and Popes as a most powerful sacramental, Less well known is the story of the French Sister to whom the Blessed Virgin manifested the Medal in 1830. This Vision Book for 9 - 16 year olds tells the story of Catherine Laboure, a Burgundy farm girl who, after a prophetic dream of St. Vincent de Paul, became a Sister of Charity in Paris and later in Enghien, where she cooked and mended and cared for the inmates of a home for elderly men. To this obscure Sister the Blessed Virgin appeared, made prophecies, and commissioned the making of the Medal which soon came to be known as "miraculous" because of the favors wrought. St. Catherine Laboure lived a life of prayer and service to the poor, and was canonized in 1947.

"A Guy's Guide to Life: How to Become a Man in 224 Pages or Less" is a teenage guy's handbook to becoming a man with a healthy mind, body, and soul. What does society want of teen guys? To be independent, tough, and macho? To be a sensitive, caring metrosexual? To excel in school and sports and business? The challenges are many, and we haven't even mentioned the most important-and most frightening-topic of conversation: "girls." The road to manhood is a perilous one. Guys need a guidebook, one that asks and answers the questions they're reluctant to discuss. They need a book that addresses the myths of manhood with a straightforward approach teenage guys will appreciate and absorb. Author Jason Boyett understands what many fail to realize-that somewhere between the awkwardness and braggadocio, the goofiness and the developing body, there is a real person struggling to make his mark on the world.
