Bumbelinda


Book Description

Warning: This is not your average fairy story! Bumbelinda is a TERRIBLE fairy; how she ever ended up as one is a mystery. Her wand is a fly swat, her tu-tu has gone poo-poo, and don’t even think about asking her to make your wishes come true, (I’m serious, don’t ask.) However, she is perfectly fine just bumbling and grumbling along by herself - until one day a little girl finds her and bursts with joy to have found a REAL LIFE FAIRY!!! (Boy, is she in for a surprise...) It’s not going to be easy to convince Bumbelinda to be her friend and maybe even make her two VERY IMPORTANT wishes come true, but with a fairy, isn’t anything possible??? This is a funny, funky fairy story about friendship, following dreams (and the occasional foul smell...) Inspired by the author’s teaching experiences with students, the girls who love typically ‘girly’ things, but who are also bold and opinionated, Bumbelinda turns the stereotypical fairy story on its head. With hand-drawn illustrations in a bold, bright style by the author, readers will be drawn into a crazy world of colour and all around chaos!

Fifteen Digits


Book Description

A gritty thriller set in the world of powerful New York law firms, from Nick Santora, writer of the hit crime dramas The Sopranos, Law & Order, Prison Break, and Breakout Kings and the nationally bestselling author of Slip & Fall. Is it really insider trading if you've been an outsider your entire life? Five men. Five walks of life. Every day they come together at the white shoe law firm Olmstead & Taft. But they're not lawyers. They're "Printers": blue-collar guys consigned to the dark basement of the firm charged with copying, collating and delivering the mountains of paperwork that document millions of dollars of sensitive legal secrets. Until the five are approached by an ambitious young attorney who teaches them what they have: insider information. Together they make a plan to take the classified documents that pass through their hands every day and use them to get rich. They create a joint account to deposit the spoils. An account with a safeguard -- each one only knows one section of the access code. Which means that for all five conspirators, there's no way out. But as too much money piles up to go unnoticed, the Printers will discover there's one thing even worse than being an outsider: being in too deep.




The Ouroh Trilogy


Book Description

There are few books that surprise their readers on every page-even fewer that show readers how to live. Boldly, the OUROH trilogy does both. Trevor and Trudy, siblings from Earth, take an unforgettable journey through these pages, a journey you will gladly take alongside them; they're the kind of inspiring characters that live and breathe on the page and live on in your mind and heart long after the story's final word. You can't help but root for and identify with them. Their journey is rich with the power of words and wishes, spoken and unspoken. It's a journey not only through time (recycled time), but past time; not only through our known universe, but past it to another, and another (Ouroh is the center of thirteen multiverses); not only through our minds and senses, but past what we've been conditioned to perceive to a whole new way of seeing and knowing. This epic tale has been created by a master storyteller and modern-day philosopher, one who understands that acknowledging life's interconnectedness and relying on present-moment awareness are the keys to true happiness. But you won't be pummeled with speeches or agendas; instead, this wisdom is skillfully woven into the narrative's fabric. Trevor and Trudy are joined by Ideas and Imagination, their Ouroh counterparts, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, including the fascinating Planimals (part plant, part animal, in a myriad of astounding varieties). Thrumming with heart-pounding tension and suspense, the story asks: Will the children save the multiverses from an errant word? Will they "right the word that went wrong"? In a time when people complain that there is nothing new under the sun, it is quite a rare achievement to discover a book unlike any other. The OUROH trilogy is a true gift indeed.
