Books with author J. W. Wright

Fifteen year old Katie Jenkins has what her grandmother called a "gift" - an ability to see things that others can't. Her grandmother taught her to harness her ability using Tarot cards, but after the old lady's death, Katie begins to realise there is more to it than just predicting the future. She meets a strange girl called Star, who has runaway to escape from an abusive home life, and is being followed at night by an evil shadowy figure called the Dark Man. He wants Star's soul, and Katie knows she must not let that happen, whatever the cost. Not fully understanding how, Katie must protect the physically and emotionally scarred Star from the Dark Man, and also help to bring out into the open the real reason Star left her home, before it is too late.

About the Book The period termed Modern history, is considered the historiographical time frame that follows post-classical history. The Modern history era can be further broken down into periods: 1) The "early modern" period began around the early 16th century, a period that included the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation. 2) The "late modern" period began around the mid-18th century; with notable milestones being the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Also in this Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.
