Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people
to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die
there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to
evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and
completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive -
and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long
before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have
time to starve to death. Damaged machinery, the unforgiving
environment, or plain old "human error" are much more likely to
kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his
ingenuity, his engineering skills and a relentless, dogged refusal
to quit, he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable
obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to
overcome the impossible odds against him?

all changed when she met Christopher. She suddenly found herself in

true strength of her spirit and willpower, while facing the
greatest evil in the magic world . . . All I can see is a little
girl prancing around where she does not belong. What ever magic is
protecting you, it will not stop this. She pointed the wand at
Erica again. This time a blue light flared from its end. The light
pushed Erica backwards. This time, as it did, everything grew dark.
She hit with a hard thud. As she looked around, she realized she
was in a dungeon prison cell. There was a small amount of light
coming from torches on the walls outside of her cell. As she stood,
she realized her back was hurt and it was quite painful. What a
fine mess she had gotten herself into.

While meditating in her garden, Jessica, a middle-aged woman,
happens upon Mabel. One of the many fairies who have been assigned
to care for all of the plants, stones, and insects in Jessica's
garden, Mabel introduces Jessica to a whole new world-one in which
elves have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and where the
spirits of trees and rocks can communicate with people.
But none of these magical creatures is prepared for what happens
when an oil drill hits a dragon living underground. The dragon
becomes so enraged that he escapes from his lair in a subterranean
cave and enters the human world.
Jessica knows that many people are in great danger, but she
doesn't know how to help. And for quite some time, no one believes
that the dragon is real. Luckily, a grizzly bear and mysterious
beings try to return the threatening dragon to its home.
Full of fantastic creatures and fueled by imagination, "Fairies
in My Garden" is a wonderful story that will introduce you to a
multidimensional world where anything is possible.
