Books with title Martin the Warrior

Mulan is trying to resign herself to marrying the village butcher for the good of her family, but her adventurous spirit just can’t stand the thought. At the last minute, she pretends to be the son her father never had, assumes his duties as a soldier, and rides off to join the fight to protect the castle of her liege lord’s ally from the besieging Teutonic Knights. Wolfgang and his brother Steffan leave Hagenheim with several other soldiers to help their father’s ally in Poland. When they arrive, Wolfgang is exasperated by the young soldier Mikolai who seems to either always be one step away from disaster . . . or showing Wolfgang up in embarrassing ways. When Wolfgang discovers his former rival and reluctant friend Mikolai is actually a girl, he is determined to protect her. But battle is a dangerous place where anything can happen—and usually does. When Mulan receives word that her mother has been accused of practicing witchcraft through her healing herbs and skills, Mulan’s only thought is of defending her. Will she be able to trust Wolfgang to help? Or will sacrificing her own life be the only way to save her mother?

"A fine line separates a FIGHTER from a WARRIOR. One is motivated by reason, the other by purpose. One fights to live, while the other lives to fight." Hopefully, the quote above inspired you and made you realize that this book that you’re reading now is unlike any other. It was written with internet marketers in mind because most of them face certain issues that are very unique. While most self-help books will congratulate you on taking action and buying these books… that’s not going to happen here. All too often, a quote by Lao Tzu is tossed around just to make people feel good… “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” People read this quote and feel very happy when they take the first step. Every New Year’s Day, millions of people decide to lose weight and get fit. Their ‘single step’ involves them paying money and signing up for a gym membership.

Matt Rivetti, a fifth grader, is kidnapped by the dreaded Junkman. Suddenly, he's expected to rescue two scientists caught in a time warp, and has to stop a murderous Aztec from harming his best friend. Even worse, it's hard to tell friend from foe since most people Matt knows mask their true feelings. Matt the Warrior finds that he can face wild dogs, bullets, racist neighbors and a stalking demon. What finally tests him to his limits is dealing with reality, especially when that reality forces him to choose between defending his closest friend and being humiliated in front of the whole school.

A reimagining of the classic Mulan tale in medieval Europe, where both love and war challenge even the strongest of hearts. When Mulan takes her father’s place in battle against the besieging Teutonic Knights, she realizes she has been preparing for this journey her whole life - and that her life, and her mother’s, depends on her success. As the adopted daughter of poor parents, Mulan has little power in the world. If she can’t prove herself on the battlefield, she could face death - or, perhaps worse, marriage to the village butcher. Disguised as a young man, Mulan meets the German duke’s son, Wolfgang, who is determined to save his people even if it means fighting against his own brother. Wolfgang is exasperated by the new soldier who seems to be one step away from disaster at all times - or showing him up in embarrassing ways. From rivals to reluctant friends, Mulan and Wolfgang begin to share secrets. But war is an uncertain time and dreams can die as quickly as they are born. When Mulan receives word of danger back home, she must make the ultimate choice. Can she be the son her bitter father never had? Or will she become the strong young woman she was created to be? This is a novel in the Hagenheim series by New York Times best-selling author Melanie Dickerson, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone.
