In 1587, 117 colonists disappeared from Roanoke Island, North Carolina, leaving behind not only unanswered questions, but a terrifying evil. *** Twelve year-old Jack Dahlgren hates his new home on Roanoke Island. Not only does his dad treat him like a baby, but also blames him for his sister’s accident. He can’t even make friends because no one wants to get to know the kid who lives in the creepy old Ellis house. They say it’s haunted. Are they kidding? Jack’s about to find out it’s not a joke. Inside a mysterious cave in the bluff next to his house lives a terrifying evil, the same horrifying curse surrounding the disappearance of the Lost Colony in 1587…and it’s hungry for blood. It’s up to Jack to unravel the four-hundred-year-old mystery and save his family from the demon that haunts the island. With the help of an elusive Giant Mastiff and new-found friend Manny, a Native American shaman, Jack must discover what this devil is and find a way to put an end to its eternal hatred. But can he defeat it, before it destroys him?

Reviewed by Kristie Ingerto for Readers' Favorite - 5/5 StarsThe Happy Ladybug by Sparrow is a cute children’s book with bright illustrations and words set to a catchy rhythm that will capture a child’s attention. The ladybug loves to fly and one day on her adventures she flies by a bear, talks with a mare, and meets a spider who has captured a butterfly. She rescues the butterfly and they both fly away together. After this, she visits some bumblebees and sees some maple trees and shoes. As nighttime comes, the ladybug finds a flower leaf to rest upon to prepare for her next day’s adventure.I really enjoyed reading The Happy Ladybug and it is a wonderful book to share with young children. The illustrations are beautiful as they are so vibrant and filled with detail. Children will love to point out different parts of the illustrations and identify the various animals and things. This book is written in rhyme for the most part, and therefore it flows nicely and is catchy, which will hold a child’s attention to the end.I see this book as being a popular one to use with pre-school children to read and discuss and then even imagine and create what adventures the ladybug will have the next day. This can also be used as a nice comparison for children as each day is filled with new adventures. What better way to end a day than by laying down to rest and, before falling asleep, thinking back over the adventures of the day and looking forward to new adventures to come! _______The Happy Ladybug is a picture e-book for pre-school children. Your kid will have quite an adventure to spend a fun and exciting day with a happy ladybug. The happy ladybug is simply extraordinary; she has many places to visit and friends to play with. Why wait... have your kid enjoy The Happy Ladybug adventure for a day.

He's one of America's most recognisable and acclaimed actors - a star on "Broadway", an Oscar nominee for "The Aviator", and the only person to ever win Emmys for acting, writing, and directing during his eleven years on MASH. Now Alan Alda has written a memoir as elegant, funny, and affecting as his greatest performances. 'My mother didn't try to stab my father until I was six,' begins Alan Alda's irresistible story. The son of a popular actor and a loving, but mentally ill mother, he spent his early childhood backstage in the erotic and comic world of burlesque and went on after early struggles to achieve extraordinary success in his profession. Yet "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed" is not a memoir of show business ups and downs. It is a moving and funny story of a boy growing into a man who then realizes he has only begun to grow. It is the story of turning points in his life, events that would make him what he is - if only he could survive them. From the moment as a boy when his dead dog is returned from the taxidermist's shop with a hideous expression on his face, and he learns that death can't be undone, to the decades-long effort to find compassion for the mother he lived with but never knew, to his acceptance of his father in him, personally and professionally, he learns the hard way that change, uncertainty and transformation are what life is made of, and the good life is made of welcoming them. "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed", filled with curiosity about nature, good humour and honesty, is the crowning achievement of an actor, author, and director, but surprisingly, it is the story of a life more filled with turbulence and laughter than any he's ever played on the stage or screen.
