The Sunday Times best-selling Illustrated Edition of J.K. Rowling's fifth Harry Potter adventure, brilliantly evoked in full colour by Kate Greenaway medal winner Jim Kay, and acclaimed guest artist Neil Packer.

Rowling's wizarding world with the dazzling artistic alchemy fans around the globe have come to know and love, perfectly complemented by Neil Packer's own unique and eclectic illustrations, skilfully woven into the heart of the story.

Thunder on the Plains: A Pecos Quinn Western Adventure by John Rose Putnam

 

 

In the 3rd Pecos Quinn Western, I tip my hat to Zane Grey, with deep respect. He showed us that even amid the savagery of the buffalo hunts on the Great Plains, romance could be found. And when Pecos and Andy set out to rescue Doctor Burns, who'd been treating the Comanche, they find a mother and daughter desperately in need of help, thus adding spice to a dangerous task.

A Season with Mom: Love, Loss, and the Ultimate Baseball Adventure by Katie Russell Newland

 

 

“Maybe you’ve been putting your own dreams on hold. Maybe you’re recovering from your own illness. Maybe you’ve lost someone you care about . . . After reading this book, you’ll be eager to imagine your own amazing next season.” -- Peyton Manning, from the foreword

 A Season with Mom offers readers an intimate, true story about the bond shared between a mother and daughter, a road trip to all 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) parks, and the importance of relishing every joy and struggle along the way.

The book is highly recommended for

  • mothers and daughters
  • cancer survivors
  • baseball and sports fans of all ages
  • anyone who has experienced loss . . . and maybe fallen in love along the way

Join Katie as she travels more than 30,000 miles to all 30 MLB parks in a single season, a rare feat covered by the likes of ESPN. Along with black-and-white photographs, Katie shares letters written to her mom, who died of cancer before the two of them could go on the adventure of a lifetime together.

During the journey, Katie beautifully illustrates the brevity of life, the impetus of adventure, and the clarity that comes by watching America’s favorite pastime.

A Season with Mom reminds readers that in life, as in baseball, sometimes you strike out, but sometimes you hit home runs. And even if the wait is longer than you’d hoped--like it was for the Chicago Cubs’ long-sought World Series win--dreams can come true.

THE KILLER ANGEL: A massive, thrilling, first-person adventure into the end of civilization. It's her story - in her own words - of how she became a legendary part of history. Survival. That was the gift of Nicki Redstone. In a darkness that seemed permanent, she was a burning flame of courage, bringing light when there was none.
