The story of two brothers, Gray and Mike. They are thrown into a war, as ground soldiers for the US Army. Gray has always been introverted and quiet, which is probably what his cheery, talkative girlfriend likes about dating him. Mike, also quiet, is childish and extroverted. What happens when these two brothers get thrown into battle with their best friends and fellow soldiers?

Jace Burk can’t remember anything about his life before his adoption at age nine. Now, at fifteen, while he and his sister attempt to discover who murdered their aunt, the missing years bleed into his mind. Like ghost ships returning to a foggy port, each memory carries terror, fear, and anguish. What he remembers, he desperately wants to forget and what he can’t remember, he desperately needs to know. The chilling answers he seeks are in his late Aunt Betsy’s haunted Mansion…if he can survive long enough to find them.

"Oh, no, not in this small apartment," my parents said. You'd think I asked for a baby elephant. If we just got rid of my bratty kid brothers, there would be plenty of room. But just try telling that to my mom! Then Dad decided we could squeeze in one little kitten, so we got Scratchy. She was smarter - and nicer - than my brothers, that's for sure. Unfortunately, she also got into even more trouble than the twins...First, she destroyed Mom's favorite plant, and then she got caught eating right off the dinner table. My parents got so fed up, they decided I had just two weeks to teach Scratchy to behave...or else.

Thanks to Disney’s classic film, every adult and most children know the story of Alice, who fell down the rabbit hole and ended up in a mystifying world known as Wonderland. In Lewis Carroll’s 1871 sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice returns to a strange world turned upside down, or – in this instance – exactly opposite her own, as she steps through the eponymous mirror and becomes enmeshed in a life-size chess game, where she encounters children’s rhyme characters and queens. Whether or not “life is but a dream,” Alice’s adventures are preposterous, entertaining and full of engaging wit.

Alice in Wonderland (Annotated) (Illustrated)This book include Lewis Carroll’s biography and his works. The book begins with a young girl, Alice, bored whilst sat by a river, reading a book with her sister. Everything seems perfectly normal and serene; there could be nothing more in keeping with the bourgeois Victorian world in which Carroll lived. Then Alice catches sight of a small white figure, a rabbit dressed in a waistcoat and holding a pocket watch, murmuring to himself that he is late. Alice runs after the rabbit and follows it into a hole. After falling down into the depths of the earth she finds herself in a corridor full of doors. At the end of the corridor there is a tiny door with a tiny key through which Alice can see a beautiful garden that she is desperate to enter. She then spots a bottle labeled "DRINK ME" (which she does), and begins to shrink until she is large enough to fit through the door.Unfortunately, she has left the key that fits the lock on a table, now well out of her reach. She then finds a cake labeled "EAT ME" (which, again, she does), and is restored to her normal size. Disconcerted by this frustrating series of events, Alice begins to cry and, caught unawares by a change in size not precipitated by food or drink, she shrinks and is washed away in her own tears.This strange beginning leads to a series of progressively "curiouser and curiouser" events, which see Alice baby-sit a pig, take part in a tea party that is held hostage by time (and so never ends), and engage in a game of croquet in which flamingos are used as mallets and hedgehogs as balls. She meets a number of extravagant and incredibly characters--from the Cheshire Cat (whose habit of making enigmatic pronouncements is only matched by his tendency to disappear) to a caterpillar smoking a hookah, and being decidedly contradictory. She also, famously, meets the Queen of Hearts who has a penchant for execution (almost continually proclaiming of those who she does not like, "Off with their heads").
