![]() ![]() When a scary catastrophe strikes, and Zack is faced with life-threatening danger, will he have the courage and problem-solving smarts to lead his friends to safety? With humor, honesty, and a deep appreciation of boys and wilderness, author Cameron Dokey and illustrator Craig Orback capture readers’ curiosity in this rollicking first Boys Camp story of adventure and bravery, Zack’s Story. After Zack makes a mistake that nearly costs him the friendship and trust of his cabinmates, he loses confidence in himself. But nature has surprises in store for Zack: animals, weather, and even the earth itself don’t behave the way he expects, and especially not the way his favorite book, The Outdoor Adventure Guide, has described them. Finally, he’ll have the summer full of wilderness backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, whitewater rafting, friendship, and fun of which he’s always dreamed. At last! Being at Camp Wolf Trail is a dream come true for city boy Zack. I’ve been at Camp Wolf Trail, what? Ten minutes? And already I’m having an adventure. So, Zack Wilson thought, almost laughing at himself. ![]()

![]() With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Something in the Waterchallenges the reader to confront the hopes we desperately cling to, the ideals we’re tempted to abandon, and the perfect lies we tell ourselves. A fourth novel, The Family Game was published in October 2022. Catherine Steadman’s enthralling voice shines throughout this spellbinding debut novel. Her second novel, Mr Nobody, was published in January 2020 and her third, The Disappearing Act, in June 2021. ![]() Steadman's debut novel, the psychological thriller Something in the Water, was published in June 2018 by Simon & Schuster UK and Penguin Random House USA. ![]() On stage, she has appeared in the West End in Polly Stenham's award-winning That Face, the Royal Shakespeare Company's Oppenheimer (for which she was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress) and the title role in the West End revival of Witness for the Prosecution. Some of her more notable roles include Nurse Wilson in ITV's Breathless, Mabel Lane Fox in Downton Abbey, Maggie Lewis in Tutankhamun, Gemma in BBC Four's Bucket, Mrs Forbes in Victoria and Eliza Gestalt in The Rook. Since then she has appeared in television series such as The Tudors, The Inbetweeners, Fresh Meat, Midsomer Murders and Trying Again. ![]() Steadman trained at the Oxford School of Drama and made her screen debut playing Julia Bertram in Mansfield Park. Catherine Steadman is a British actress and author. ![]() ![]() ![]() And if what it says is true, then maybe, just maybe, Ro isn’t lost forever. It’s filled with secrets-dangerous secrets-about her family, and about Ro. And then Mae finds the little green book. Nothing’s been right in the house since Ro died. Ro’s sister Mae wouldn’t believe him, except that something’s not right. According to him, Ro was alive only the day before. Cage has no memory of the past twelve months. One year-almost to the day-from Ro’s death, when he knocks on the door of Blue Gate Manor and asks where she is. No one knows what really happened on the beach where Roxanne Cole’s body was found, but her boyfriend, Cage, took off that night and hasn’t been seen since. For fans of the dark family secrets of We Were Liars and the page-turning suspense of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The Breathless is a haunting tale of deeply buried secrets, forbidden love, and how far some will go to bring back what’s long dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() Upon visiting her father Henry (Denholm Elliott), he entrusts her care to his John Verney (Richard Widmark). ![]() In present day Germany, Catherine Beddows (Nastassja Kinski) is a 17 year-old nun in the order of The Children Of God, under the care of Father Michael Rayner (Christopher Lee). With Christopher Lee personally securing the rights for the studio to adapt another Dennis Wheatley novel (after the unqualified success that was 1968’s The Devil Is Rides Out) for free, Michael Carreras raised finance from both EMI and the German Terra Filmkunst to make To The Devil, A Daughter. Starring: Christopher Lee, Richard Widmark, Nastassja Kinski, Denholm Elliott, Honor Blackmanīroke, desperate and ever more out of touch from a horror audience who were thrilling to films like Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, Hammer had one final throw of the dice in them.

The scene with Ethan’s dad when he apologizes to Ethan for the way he dealt with things when he was being drafted. It was just so vivid in my head when I wrote it, and I’d love to see the sexy combined with the awkward when they get caught doing things they shouldn’t like they’re still teenagers. There’s a sexy scene in Ethan’s truck that would be both amazing and maybe a whole lot embarrassing to film. Plus, she’s fun and feisty and hasn’t been completely tainted by life yet. She’s young and impressionable, and it would be interesting to watch Lilah’s relationship with Ethan develop from the outside. What character would you personally want to play?Įmery, one of Lilah’s patient’s at the hospital that she forms a special bond with. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is also inhibited in showing her feelings, since Alek thinks that she's a he. Deryn also finds herself deeply in love with Alek, but also knows that a marriage between royalty and a commoner is impossible. The continuation of the story in Behemoth has Alek and Deryn helping to overthrow the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, preventing it from entering the war on the side of Germany and the Austrian-Hungary Empire. Deryn also begins to feel a strong attachment toward Alek that is beyond mere friendship. In the first book of this marvelous trilogy, Prince Alek and Deryn/Dylan meet and help save the airship by combining Darwin and Clanker technology. The main protagonists are Prince Aleksandar, the son if the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, and Deryn, a girl posing as a boy (named Dylan) in order to serve on the British airship, Leviathan. ![]() ![]() He also gives us insights to the gap between the aristocracy and the mass of commoners, as well as gender relations. In the Leviathan series, he has created a fantastic alternative world of 1914 where Darwinist fabricators of new species are at war with Clankers, who use machine technology to advance their cause. In my view, he is currently one of the best writers of young adult fiction. ![]() I have been a huge fan of Scott Westerfeld since I read Peeps several years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe the criminal would be taken to Cheyenne for trial, but then the criminal may get a good lawyer, like the murderer in this book, who is a lawyer, and push that his constitutional rights have been violated. Bizarre! Thankfully, this has never happened except in this CJ Box book, so we don’t know how things would proceed. Since it is on US Government land and no one lives there, you can’t convene a jury to try someone for a crime – and a person can not be found guilty without a jury trial. I was not aware of this until reading this book but there is a small section of Yellowstone Park that is part of Idaho, where theoretically an individual could get away with murder. ![]() In this book, Joe Pickett is assigned by Wyoming’s Governor to research why a group of environmentalists were killed in Yellowstone’s “Zone of Death”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mildred Hubble returns to Miss Cackles Academy.
