    Cheryl Crouch, G Studios

    Paperback (Zonderkidz, Oct. 28, 2007)
    Chosen Girls is a dynamic new series that communicates a message of empowerment and hope to Christian youth who want to live out their faith. In Book 7, Melody is tired of being led around by Trinity and Harmony, and thinks she'd like to be the leader for once---except that she's sure she doesn't have what it takes to lead. When she finds herself elected president of a new club, she's convinced she'll only succeed if she becomes more like her 'bossy' friends. Her choices lead her down the wrong path, until waking up in a hospital bed finally wakes her up to the fact that God made her exactly who she needs to be.

    language (Pink Hippo Press, Feb. 3, 2015)
    What if your kids begged to play with words and ideas - because it was so fun?‘Tom is a magician with words, a sorcerer with challenging ideas, and an all around excellent poet.’ Grady Harp, Hall of Fame and Amazon Top 100 ReviewerKids and teens love ideas from left field, a play on words that makes them giggle and stretches their creative language skills.'Skinner’s quirky sense of humor shines throughout the book and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.’ Call it what you will this quick ‘n’ quirky combination of poetry, youthful humor, silly phrases, puns and sketches is designed to challenge developing brains to look at language – and life – from a whole new perspective.‘The author’s note after each poem is unique and hilarious.’ Overload contains a diverse collection of playful comments and musings about Moses, poetry, wizards, feelings, cowboys and monkeys.‘The author has kept the language very simple and used oodles of humour to generate and maintain reader interest.’Encourage the young readers in your life to let loose with mad word associations, silly syllables and gormless giggles…in the bean bag with you, the car, or anywhere at all.‘I absolutely loved this book. Wish I could have given it more than five stars!’As a parent or teacher, you have probably already had some fun together with word association, punning, and experimentation via various forms of literature.‘I recommend this to children who are new to poetry.’Eight zappy illustrated one page stories in crisp and quirky verse for elastic fantastic readers (ages 8-15) who can handle a bit of high voltage wordplay!‘I wasn't sure I was going to like it. In fact, I was quite sure I wasn't going to like it. But the book took me by surprise!’ Buy Overload to have some unexpected fun with verse today!‘He creates poems that challenge young brains to inspect language and get a fresh vista of what words are all about.’Note: Overload is the seventh book in the Get Your Wordsworth series which can be read in any order. Books 1-6 are available as a box set for $4.99 (Get Your Wordsworth, Volume 1). The other books are Einstein's Cat, Pavlov's Dog, It's Slapstick, Plain Crazy, Too Much TV and Tractor Gate.‘Recommended series.’What words would you, as a modern muse, use to describe this series? It’s very hard to describe this series until you read it because Get Your Wordsworth is (as far as I can tell) a new hybrid model of illustrated poetry-prose which combines an old art form with a few modern alchemic twists and tweaks. It is these hitherto unseen and highly unorthodox bolt-ons (newspaper style title and sub-title, an original hand-drawn high quality sketch for each story plus a personal author note) which I believe give rise to this far more accessible (though admittedly less technical) twenty first century verse.Overall, I call these ever so artful one page hodgepodges, medleys, melanges or potpourris fast blasts! I'm sure you will have your own version. Other fast blast type descriptors include...casual poetry-prosepoetry-prose fusionlaugh now, think later versemicro poetry-proseillustrated micro fictionpoetry-prose mash-uprap trapsone minute super shortsplayful poetrycheeky poetry chunkslittle book of laughs

    Mark Cheverton, Luke Daniels

    MP3 CD (Audible Studios on Brilliance Audio, Oct. 4, 2016)
    The Minecraft server is at risk of a devastating crash! Glitches are appearing across the Minecraft server. Blocks are flickering unexpectedly and randomly disappearing. To make matters worse, villagers are claiming that their entire villages have mysteriously vanished, and they desperately need Gameknight999's help. What's causing the server to overload and glitch, and where have all the NPCs gone? The User-that-is-not-a-user suspects the two questions are related, and that somehow Herobrine's henchmen are responsible. So Gameknight999 and his friends travel deep underground, facing some of the largest monster armies ever assembled as they search for a way to avoid the end of Minecraft as they know it. But his enemies have hatched their most diabolical plan yet, and Gameknight will have to risk everything to save his friends.
