Then a letter from Eastport Children’s Hospital changes everything.

A discovery is made, one of gross human error. Twenty-six years ago two baby boys were switched at birth and sent home with the wrong families.

Sam, Israel’s best friend, has been his only source of love and support. With Sam beside him every step of the way, Israel decides to meet his birth mother and her son, the man who lived the life Israel should have.

Israel and Sam become closer than ever, amidst the tumultuous emotions of meeting his birth family, and Sam finds himself questioning his feelings toward his best friend. As Israel embraces new possibilities, he needs to dissect his painful relationship with his parents in order to salvage what’s left.

The kindle cover patterns are for three sizes. The patterns are based on the width of the eReader or small tablet with adjustments made for height. Choose the size, small, medium, or large that is closest to the width of your device and crochet about an inch taller than the device. The patterns can be used for many brands of eReaders or tablets.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.

But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart--an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests--or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.]]> Jessica Townsend Kathy 0 4.27 2017

Our Uninvited Guests perfectly captures the period of the Blitz during the Second World War when thousands of families were faced with the heart-wrenching decision to leave all they knew behind, in order to forge a new life where Hitler’s Luftwaffe could not reach them.

Renowned social historian Julie Summers searches out the best voices from the past who convey the many problems these families faced during the early years of the conflict; where they were sent around the British Isles to live in safety; and what problems and social stigmas they overcame when dropped into parts of the country that at any other time would have seemed foreign to them.]]> 464 Julie Summers 1471152537 Kathy 0 4.04 2018

"Why don't you start in Naples and go clockwise round the Mediterranean instead of dashing off in all directions like a lunatic?" Fortunately, Eric Newby followed his wife Wanda's advice - and so begins this wonderfully madcap adventure.

Using every form of transportation conceivable, the adventurous but disaster-prone pair travel around the sea at the centre of Western history, journeying from Naples to Venice, along the Adriatic to Greece, Turkey, Jerusalem and North Africa.
Whether sipping wildly extravagant cocktails in San Marco, scaling Mount Olympus or the Great Pyramid, or being cordially invited to Libya by Colonel Gaddafi, Newby leaves no stone unturned in his quest for wonderfully detailed and quirky experiences to share with his reader.

Bizarre and wonderful, and infused with Newby's trademark charm and wit, On the Shores of the Mediterranean is an adventure not to be missed.]]> 562 Eric Newby Kathy 0 currently-reading 0.0 1984
