Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Best-selling author Teresa Schapansky, and award-winning artist, Elly Mossman have teamed up again, and are thrilled to present.One Little Coin. Dear Journal, I signed up for the coin club, because to be honest, I really like money. Wasn't that what a coin club was about? Money? That, and how to get it, how much to keep and how much to spend? I glanced around the room, and easily saw that the class was made up of quite an assortment of kids - polar opposites, in my opinion. In the end, who could have guessed that seven totally different kinds of people would form such an unlikely bond in a coin club? Maybe one day, I'll find one little coin that will change my life, forever. Maybe I'll find it with Jacques's metal detector, or maybe it'll be stuck in some couch cushion. The possibilities are endless. Reviews. The best children's books are engaging and captivating - they stand the test of time. That's because the best children's authors write about topics that matter. A good children's book will, in addition, typically have interesting and sometimes new language which adds to a child's listening or reading experience.One Little Coin checks all these essential boxes and in addition provides food for thought about values, a world where generosity is more important than accumulating money and the fact that first impressions can sometimes be misleading when they are based on superficial observations. Like all high-quality children's books One Little Coin is a charming story that children will genuinely enjoy while they are learning to think and wonder about their world and the people who inhabit it as well as about themselves and their place in that world - it should be in every school library.Geoff Johnson, former Superintendent of Schools One Little Coin neatly blends subject-area content, multicultural education, biography, and social issues-all in an age-appropriate manner. The plot thread involving the teacher's challenged childhood and her life-long love of coins and numismatics generally is a brilliant hook since young readers enjoy narrative rather than purely informational texts. The illustrations are strategically positioned to engage the reader and elaborate on the text.Philip Allingham, PhD English Literature One Little Coin easily compels the reader to turn each page, in anticipation of the next succinct and exciting segment of the story. This book knits together the diversity of our multi-cultured country and is an educational tool for all ages and every walk of life. The story is respectful, thought provoking, endearing and captures the essence of Canadian society. After having read One Little Coin, I was motivated to go hunting for all the universal coins that I've collected while traversing the globe during my Naval Service. Thanks to the author for a job well done. I predict that Ms. Schapansky has produced yet another best-selling book, with this marvel.Allan W. Waddy, Author/Investigator With the skill of an experienced storyteller evident on every page, Teresa Schapansky has created an enchanting tale of compassion, personal growth and hope. One Little Coin nimbly melds several of life's important lessons within a storyline that resonates with readers of all ages. Imagine a single coin that can provide the catalyst for a yarn that speaks to the importance of sharing one's gifts with those less fortunate while bringing together a diverse group of youngsters who flourish while exploring a new avocation Warren Goulding, publisher, author, journalist.

Paperback. Etat : Good. God lives in my hometown. History associates four ancient world capitals as having seven hills: Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles. Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die. Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Born into a working-class family in London in 1919, Victor Gregg enlisted in the Rifle Brigade at nineteen, was sent to the Middle East and saw action in Palestine. Following service in the western desert and at the battle of Alamein, he joined the Parachute Regiment and in September 1944 found himself at the battle of Arnhem. When the paratroopers were forced to withdraw, Gregg was captured. He attempted to escape, but was caught and became a prisoner of war; sentenced to death in Dresden for attempting to escape and burning down a factory, only the allies' infamous raid on the city the night before his execution saved his life. Gregg's fascinating story, told in a voice that is good-natured and completely original, continues after the end of the war. In the fifties he became chauffeur to the Chairman of the Moscow Norodny bank in London, involved in shady dealings and strange meetings with MI5, MI6 and the KGB. His adventures, though, were not over - in 1989, on one of his many motorbike expeditions into Eastern Europe, he found himself at a rally of 700 people in a field in Sopron at a fence that formed part of the barrier between the Soviet Union and the West. Vic cut the wire, and a few weeks later the Berlin Wall itself was destroyed - a truly unexpected coda to an incredible life lived to the full. This is the story of a true survivor.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The astonishing final installment in the page-turning trilogy that Stephen King calls "an authentic work of American genius."   Niceville has an almost unearthly beauty when the sun tops the ancient nearby mountain called Tallulah's Wall and bathes it in soft Southern light. But there's a reason Native American tribes avoided the place:  An absence that inhabits the air and the depthless "sink" atop Tallulah's Wall. This "Nothing" has long bent time and the desires of a chosen few to her shadowy ends.   As THE RECKONING begins, Detective Nick Kavanaugh and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have accepted that reality in Niceville is not normal.  Seemingly, they've fought Nothing to a draw. But now a buzzing emerges in the heads of some perfectly normal folks. Nothing isn't finished.   Come to Niceville and sink into Carsten Stroud's inimitable blend of crime and supernatural thriller, as characters you'll love throw in with bad guys you'll like way more than you should as they battle evil.…
