Renee thought that her biggest problem was dealing with her
divorced parents and graduating from High school. That was until
she discovers her friends are more than they seem. It has Renee
looking at everything differently. From awakening dreams to her
feelings for Gage, everything is changing so fast. Secrets are
being revealed, and danger grows closer with each day. Graduation
is the last thing on her mind. The Unseelie Queen, who had killed
her for the past few centuries repetitively, is after her again.
This time armed with memories, friends, and the Seelie Fae court,
would she be able to escape death?
Timmy and his friends are nice kids, but a bit outside the cool
zone. They get picked on a bit. But only in a mild intimidation
way. One fine weekend they realise that they each have a power.
Being a bit rubbish, they don't go out and test their powers to the
max, instead deciding to wait and see what happens, and where the
powers may become useful. One of the group, Hugh, has a sister who
discovers the boys secret and becomes part of the group, despite
having no special powers of her own. After a minor skirmish with
the school bully's, the friends are drawn into a fight between good
and evil, but who knows what is good and what is evil. The boys
wrestle with their twisting feelings about this eternal question,
and where it will all end. We just don't know. And then we do!
Everyone knows that Hank Whitestone is a genius, but nobody knows
the real story of what he invented and what happened as a result.
But, for readers in years to come, when the story finally comes
out, here is the true story of how Hank came up with his theory of
gravity, and invented the Grav Buster, and how everyone built the
spaceship Pegasus, and how the whole family traveled into space,
and what happened up there. Of course, it wasn't that easy and a
couple of times it was down-right scary--when we had to steal the
nukes, for example--and the whole thing had to be done in secret,
in case JJ figured out what we were doing and took Pegasus away
from us. Anyway, if you have authorized access to "Hank's Idea" you
can read this stuff now, provided, of course, that you don't
breathe a word to anyone. Just to be on the safe side, please eat
this book when you've finished it, in case it falls into the wrong
hands.
Kathryn Samantha King, AKA as Katie King; enabled with powers from
out of this world with which she firmly establishes her place in
history, finance, and the future.
Hope Havergale first meets the mysterious teenager Christian
Livingston on her seventh birthday when he saves her from
plummeting into a cradle of water inside a forbidden forest. As he
licks fresh blood droplets from her injured wrist, Hope is
spellbound. Seemingly powerless to his charms, Hope has no idea
that it will be her destiny to embark on a breathtaking, perilous
adventure with this two-hundred year-old vampire.
As Hope grows up and inherits an old house in the Florida Keys
from her estranged grandmother, she secretly pines for
Christian-the man who haunts her dreams. While yearning for his
good looks and succulent tin-cinnamon scent, Hope is clueless that
it is Christian who fell in love with her when she was just seven.
Worse yet, Hope doesn't realize the truth about her own veiled
past-that even she isn't fully human. When Christian reappears one
day, she falls hard, rousing the monster within her. Somewhere
between skin and ink and blood and love, a sinful self-discovery
awaits Hope as she becomes entangled in a conflict between
civilized and savage vampires.
In this seductive tale, bloodlust quickly turns to bloodshed
when the arrival of a new danger threatens to destroy both their
secret love and surreptitious existence.

Hovering near death, human Tad Fellows is rescued and healed by the
Magic Folk of Greenwillow. Though his physical wounds have mended,
his memories plague him. He alone carries a horrible secret: the
Northern Leader intends to destroy the Magic Folk. Their survival
depends on the Sun Maiden, a being who embodies the power of the
sun. With a single thought, she can boil the oceans or destroy a
city.
Tad and his friends, the Young Ones, are called upon to find the
Sun Maiden and save their land. The teenagers' perilous adventure
takes them through foreign lands where they encounter many threats
from the Shadow Travelers and other dangerous creatures, Strahlins,
and the man who intends to destroy their country. The Young Ones
must accomplish their quest by overcoming evil. But will they
succeed, or will the Northern Leader triumph in this epic tale of
despair, love, friendship, revenge, and betrayal?
George MacDonald is famous for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy
novels. He was a great inspiration to many writers of his time
including C. S. Lewis, who wrote "Picking up a copy of Phantastes
one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours
later, I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K.
Chesterton said that The Princess and the Goblin was a book that
had "made a difference to my whole existence." His three fantasy
novels for children are available here in one volume. They are so
strange and dreamlike that adults often enjoy them as much as the
children. MacDonald says "For my part, I do not write for children,
but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."
So whether you are young or just young at heart this is a book that
will enthral you with its displays of courage and loyalty, and with
the allegories between the fantastic world painted and the
spiritual world MacDonald perceives.
