Books with author Joseph Kehoe

A player who won't let his dream die. A mysterious old man with a heartbreaking secret. And soccer, the game they love. Soccer the way it should be played and lived -- with blood, sweat, and tears. "Goal Fever" is a must-read for anyone who loves soccer. The Midwest Book Review says "Goal Fever is not a story to be missed, very highly recommended reading." Fiction. Ages 9 and up.

In the tradition of Gary Paulsen, "Survivor Song" is a gritty and gripping collection of heart-pounding, white-knuckle adventure stories that challenges its young characters to look deep inside themselves and make it out… alive. "Survivor Song" is a harrowing journey through rivers, mountains, forests, and deserts – rugged places where harsh beauty and hard lessons are just around the bend. And where the smallest mistake can lead to ultimate disaster. Midwest Book Review calls "Survivor Song" "riveting" and "a read that should not be ignored." Fiction. Ages 10 and up.

You need it.Okay, adults stop reading here.I live in England. Land of Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. Wherever you are in England, you’re never too far from a castle. That pleases me greatly. I am, after all, a Professor of Antiquities at Ellbookley Castle.When I’m not at Ellbookley Castle, I really rather enjoy exploring old, dusty bookshops. It was at one such bookshop during a recent trip that I discovered a most odd book. I had written down the title of the book but my Neice, bless her, had written something else on the page and taken it with her when she left.As I started to take the book from the shelf, the whole bookcase turned and opened like a big door, revealing a secret passage.I followed the stone steps down a spiral staircase. Us English aren’t afraid of ghosts and mummies. Okay, I was a little bit scared.At the bottom of the staircase was an old trunk. If you can imagine a pirate chest, it looked just like that.I opened the lid, expecting to find a skeleton that would look rather nice at Ellbookley Castle. Instead, what I found were some old, hand written papers. All in code.Since I’m jolly clever, I’ve managed to crack the code. There are so many pages to decode though. Can you help?

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from The Fighting Mascot: The True Story of a Boy SoldierI got to the front trenches all right, but not with a bugle. I carried a gun. I was three years too young for the firing line - just turned Sixteen at my first battler - but the Colonel couldn't stand my bugling any longer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
