Waking up in an unknown place should be scary, but for some reason, I felt surprisingly calm . . . ish . . . about it. Okay, I may have been mildly panicking, but the point is, I kept my wits about me! When I first arrived, I knew two things: my name is Kalani, and I need to find my brother, Zane. Everything has been a learning experience. I was told, being a Guardian would be hard, yet everyone was vague about the details. They didn't tell me I would have intense, realistic simulations to get through--the type that in the end really messes with your feelings. "Let them die," yeah, like that's easy to swallow. They certainly didn't tell me that one of my classes would be how to fly. Who leaves that out? Seriously, flying is awesome. They really should have led with that. I credit Samuel with making things easier. He's a sweet talker who knows what to say to turn me into a blubbering idiot. The whole "I like him and he likes me" scenario really gets twisted when I learn a huge secret. Do I tell him? Do I keep it to myself? It makes the "let's be honest" thing difficult when what you have to say is life altering. As if that weren't hard enough, Zane decides to slap me with his own dose of the truth. Dude, come on, I'm your twin; you should've known better. I know you're just trying to help right now, but it's just giving me more anxiety. Ugh! On top of it all, it turns out Guardianship is about to be changed forever. Thanks, Alex.

For a boy to whom baseball is everything, the creation of a new little league felt like a dream come true. Then he found out his team had one too many players.

Adapted from a story my father shared with me about his own little league adventures.

Three strong men battle for possession of a section of country as big as a principality—one used to getting what he wanted, unscrupulously if he could not get it fairly, and the others held steadfast to their purpose by their good American grit. Peter B. Kyne, California writer, endeared himself to the American public with his 1918 book “ The Valley of the Giants.” The man who wrote “The Valley of the Giants" knows the big trees of California. Before Kyne was a writer he was a lumberman. He has put the adventure of that business, with his love of the forest and the outdoors, into many of his stories. The plot hinges on the possession of a grove of great redwoods the burial place of John Cardigan's wife and called by him the Valley of the Giants. The grove is wanted as an outlet for some back-country timber holdings by Colonel Seth Pennington a fishy hearted lumber operator from Michigan. A succession of bad years and an error in Judgment put old John Cardigan financially at Pennington’s mercy. At this point young Bryce Cardigan comes home, takes over his father's burdens, and starts to buck the colonel. Shirley Sumner, the colonel's feminine tenderfoot niece, and Bryce Cardigan are mutually attracted. Mr. Kyne has created a set of very human, very real characters, and a fine love story runs through the book, taking a most unexpected turn toward the last.Peter B. Kyne (1880 –1957) was an American novelist who published between 1904 and 1940. He was born and died in San Francisco, California. Many of his works were adapted into screenplays starting during the silent film era, particularly his first novel, The Three Godfathers, which was published in 1913 and proved to be a huge success. More than 100 films were adapted from his works between 1914 and 1952, many of the earliest without consent or compensation. Kyne also created the character of Cappy Ricks in a series of novels.Other books by Kyne include: The Parson of Panamint and Other StoriesWebster Man's Man Comrades of the Storm The Lord of Lonely Valley The Understanding Heart Tide Of Empire The Land Just Over Yonder A Motion To Adjourn Silver Threads Among The Gold Salt Of The Earth Bread Upon The Waters The Sheriff Of Panamint Cornflower Cassie's Concert The Handshake Agreement Captain Scraggs The Valley of the Giants Kindred of the Dust Outlaws Of Eden Ballarat Bob's Romance The Long Chance Cappy Ricks or the Subjugation of Matt Peasley The Three Godfathers Cappy Ricks Retires The Pride of Palomar They Also Serve Never the Twain Shall Meet El Jarron Azul Money to burn Two make a world The enchanted hill The Green-pea pirates Soldiers, sailors and dogs Dude woman Jim the conqueror The golden West The book I never wrote The Tie That Binds is listed The Tie That Binds The Go-getter
