A school project goes terribly wrong in this middle-grade thriller about ex-homeschooler and Christian teen Hudson Sutton and his experiences in his new school. When he makes two friends and attempts to take on an established hierarchy of bullying, he doesn’t realize he’s taking a risk he never expected—becoming a bully himself.From the same author who wrote the suspenseful fiction Code of Silence series, this is a realistic look at the extent and reality of bullying, especially through social media, with a Christian protagonist who learns that relationships, bullying, and doing the right thing are a bit more complicated than he realized. It also touches on the subject of suicide.

Excerpt from Best Things From Best Authors, Vol. 9: Comprising Numbers Twenty-Five, Twenty-Six, and Twenty-Seven of Shoemaker's Best SelectionsNow, if I were talking shop to my brethren of the scribbling trade, I should point this obvious moral, that it is our duty to write nothing but the best thoughts, and to write them in the best words at our command. If it be a benefit to the race to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, how evil a thing it must be to place a noxious weed where a good plant might grow. Yet that is what men are doing, in books and magazines, and even in the illustrated supplements of the Sunday news papers. They are writing stuff that, for the good Of the world, had better be left unwritten. But men must write, they say, and if they cannot write well, they must write as well as they can. Stuff and non sense! NO man is under compulsion to write at all. Why not join Colonel Waring's white-robed brigade instead It would be far better to make the streets clean than to make books and papers unclean.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Indian Steps: And Other Pennsylvania Mountain StoriesLeast they came from sources equally reliable, and those which were the author's personal experience more or less he can certainly vouch for. He much appreciates the kindly recep tion from press and public which was so gen erously given to More Pennsylvania Moun tain Stories. That is another reason for the appearance of this book. In it, as in the previous volumes, the author strives to show the variety and scope of Penn sylvania folk-lore and tradition and through them hopes to give fresh vitality and in ferest to the localities where they occurred. There is no spot of ground a hundred feet square in the Pennsylvania mountains that has not its legend. Some are old, as ancient as the old, old forests. Others are of recent making or in formation now. Each one is different, each is full of its own local color. There are some stories in this book which con tain more human interest than folk-lore, but they are included in order to give romance to certain places where older legends have not been secured. Any story which relates to human beings will sooner or later become folk.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Two Addresses: Some Extinct Pennsylvania Birds, And, Observations on Wild Animals: Delivered Before the Audubon Society, and the Boys' Science Class, of Williamsport, Penna., High School, Longfellow's Birthday, February 27, 1923 Recently' the newspapers Of Central Pennsylvania were en riched by a widely copied article by that brilliant young exponent of Conservation, jfherbert Walker, of Altoona, telling Of his observations Of a pair Of Ravens which make their home in some of the wilder-recesses of romantic Poe Valley, in Centre County, a very appropriate place for Ravens to frequent, for Edgar Allan Poe is said to have gone there at one time to seek a legacy from some, well - to - do relatives for whom the valley was named. W' hen Mr. Walker asked your speaker his Opinion Of the merits of the article in question he replied that it was the finest outdoor article that he had read for a year, if only itt did not have the effect Of sending a group of professional egg collectors into po-e Valley to disturb the ravens. Though the raven cannot today be classed as one of the extinct Pennsylvania birds, it is so rare that the great majority of persons living in the State have never seen one and probably many here this afternoon did not know Of their exist ence-and that they nest on the Raven's - burg and in several locali ties within a dozen miles of vv-illiamspor-t. The raven is protected by law as it is a valuable insect destroyer and scavenger, and use ful to the hunters as ou-many occasions when deer which have been shot and got away and died later have been located by the Eircling of the sable birds. Never plentiful, they might still be with us in fair numbers were it not that there is a brisk demand for their eggs by collectors and the professional egg hunters have trailed them to their secluded nests on high cliffs, and pillaged them unmercifully. One individual, formerly Of the State Col l-ege faculty, deserves the credit, or rather the discredit, of having done more than any other agency to exterminate the raven in Pennsylvania. In an issue Of an ornithological mag azine, he openly stated that he had visited a raven's nest two or three times in one season, every year for eight years, taking eggseverv time.
