There is said to be a particular mutant virus that can build immunity against all the anti-virus software. Each time the virus is eliminated, it resurfaces unexpectedly - nastier and stronger than ever. This virus, once believed to be an urban legend in technology circles, takes a personality of it own - a living, breathing cyberbully. Can a band of best friends beat the cyber-bully at his own game?

The question of when to use military force is one of the most difficult that democracies face.

While the sacrifices of fathers who go to war are well known, we often forget what the families sacrifice, especially the children. These are children who will not hear Dad’s voice or feel his hug for months at a time. These are dads who will not get to tell a child a bedtime story until their duty is complete. This is the point Julie W. Easter expresses so well in My Military Dad. Using simple language she describes a child’s experience saying goodbye to his father who has been called to serve his country. They understand why he must go, but it does not help to hold back the tears. Read this book to a child you love. Imagine what it would be like to leave each other. Then the sacrifices of our military families will be very clear.
