Whoever said that nothing ever happens in a small town clearly never visited Dearmont, Maine. It’s getting hotter than hell around here. When the dead start crawling out of their graves, you know something’s up. If there’s one thing I hate more than zombies, it’s having my memories erased by magic. That's a real bummer, right? So when I get a chance to break the spell that’s locked away part of my mind, I take it, even if it means dabbling with ancient Egyptian sorcery. Big mistake. Sometimes you shouldn’t go poking at things that are buried. Because you end up having to deal with an army of the dead.

The story begins in the summer of 1969, with the erection of a giant slide on the boardwalk of Wildwood, NJ by two brothers, both carpenters, who knew little about the amusement business. Their competitors, seasoned boardwalk operators, poured scorn on the newcomers, who, undeterred, began developing an amusement pier around the ride, the Wipe Out.Driven by the work ethic, imagination and "yes-we-can" creed of its founder, Will Morey, this family company, which now runs three piers packed with more than 100 rides and attractions and two world-class waterparks, has become a benchmark for the industry. These days, The Morey Organization operates the largest seaside amusement park in the world.From the monster attractions of the Seventies to the Euro invasion of the Eighties and the roller coaster race of the Nineties, this is the remarkable story of a small family company that dared to dream big in one of the most competitive, unpredictable industries of all. Fasten your harnesses and prepare to take a ride...Running the business of an amusement park is a lot like spending a day at an amusement park. It's a roller coaster of emotions, full of highs and lows. Sometimes you'll be breathless, other times you'll feel like your stomach is in your throat and your heart is in your mouth. It won't be boring, that's for sure.So it goes with Morey's Piers. The company launched 40 years ago with one simple slide on the boardwalk, and zero experience in the game. Now they're running the world's biggest, and arguably best, seaside amusement park, in the wonderful world of Wildwood, NJ. This is their story.

Children's illustrated story in rhyming verse. Brian is a nervous, jumpy lion who is embarrassed when smaller animals make him jump and decides to do something about it. A funny story, with lots of roaring and bold, vibrant illustrations throughout. Brian the Lion is the second title in the series, Cyril the Squirrel and Friends. Other books available include Cyril the Squirrel, Myrtle the Turtle and Lola Clare the Polar Bear. The books are set in varied contexts around the world. Suitable to be read aloud to toddlers and preschool children, but also for older children (up to age 8) as they are learning to read, this series of books deliberately includes a few longer or slightly less common words (like "plucky" and "glisten") in order to encourage early absorption of a wider English vocabulary, as this has been proved to benefit literacy and development later on. The rhyming character names also teach children about the idiosyncrasies of English pronunciation. Besides this, the books remain funny, happy animal stories for all children to enjoy.
