Art Williams is an Unlikely Hero Newly crowned Queen Caroline has a baby prince, the heir to the British throne. The murder of the Queen and the blood sacrifice of little Prince Gregory will lift an ancient protection and make black magic the master of this world again. Or it could unravel time itself. The only one who stands between evil and the enslavement of the world is Art Williams. He’s the son of the new American Ambassador to England. In his first 48 hours in London, Art makes an enemy of Princess Guinevere, the Queen’s teenage daughter, has a trio of banshees foretelling his doom, is stalked by a shape-shifting witch, and destroys the American Ambassador's mansion. With his classmates, the sons and daughters of diplomats from Australia, Canada, India, and China, Art discovers they have a chance of saving the Royal Family, England, and the world. But first, they must gather the skills needed and make alliances with what little magic is left in this world. And they must lay claim to Excalibur, the Sword of Destiny.

A wildly evocative chronicle of the decade that changed hockey forever. "Lady Byng died in Boston" read a sign in the Garden arena in 1970, a cheery dismissal of the NHL trophy awarded the game's most gentlemanly player. A new age of hockey was dawning. For 30 years, hockey was an orderly and (relatively) well-behaved sport. There was one Commissioner, six teams and five colours--red, white, black, blue and yellow. Oh, and one nationality. Until 1967, every player, coach, referee and GM in the NHL had been a Canadian. And then came NHL expansion, the founding of the WHA, and garish new uniforms. The Seventies had arrived: the era that gave us not only disco, polyester suits, lava lamps and mullets but also the movie Slap Shot and the arrest of ten NHL players for on-ice mayhem. But it also gave us hockey's greatest encounter (the 1972 Canada-Russia Summit), its most splendid team, the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens, and the most aesthetically satisfying game--the three-all tie on New Year's Eve, 1975, between the Canadiens and the Soviet Red Army. Modern hockey was born in the sport's wild, sensational, sometimes ugly Seventies growth spurt. The forces at play in the decade's battle for hockey supremacy--dazzling speed vs. brute force--are now, for better or worse, part of hockey's DNA. This book is a welcome reappraisal of the ten years that changed how the sport was played and experienced. Informed by first-hand interviews with players and game officials, and sprinkled with sidebars on the art and artifacts that defined Seventies hockey, the book brings dramatically alive hockey's most eventful, exciting decade.

There’s nothing for breakfast at Noah’s house. A new diner just opened across the street. That’s where Noah meets Lola. Lola’s idea of a good breakfast includes dinosaur eggs, burgers from a 50‘s drive-in, mummy’s dates, real Greek yogurt, blintzes with a Russian czar, and even milk and honey by the Red Sea. And since breakfast may take 200 million years, Noah may not be home in time for dinner. This is a story told in rhyme and uses the same technology as Disney used in "Frozen" and Pixar used in movies like "Toy Story" and "The Incredibles".
