The true story of how a 1963 ride on a carousel in Maryland made a powerful Civil Rights statement. A Ride to Remember tells how a community came together—both black and white—to make a change. When Sharon Langley was born in the early 1960s, many amusement parks were segregated, and African-American families were not allowed entry. This book reveals how in the summer of 1963, due to demonstrations and public protests, the Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Maryland became desegregated and opened to all for the first time. Co-author Sharon Langley was the first African-American child to ride the carousel. This was on the same day of Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Langley’s ride to remember demonstrated the possibilities of King’s dream. This book includes photos of Sharon on the carousel, authors’ notes, a timeline, and a bibliography. “Delivers a beautiful and tender message about equality from the very first page.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “Cooper’s richly textured illustrations evoke sepia photographs’ dreamlike combination of distance and immediacy, complementing the aura of reminiscence that permeates Langley and Nathan’s narrative.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “A solid addition to U.S. history collections for its subject matter and its first-person historical narrative.” —School Library Journal

This extensive project, researched in detail, covers the story from their early 1960s formation, playing the small clubs and coffee houses in and around Manchester, right up to the current day. Second only to The Beatles in UK Chart successes at their peak, this work draws on many rare interviews with all former members of the group during their hit-making heyday. In addition, friends and acquaintances also share their thoughts and recollections as to what made this band so special. I'm Alive, Here I Go Again, Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window, Carrie Anne, On A Carousel, He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, The Air That I Breathe, Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)... and many, many more are covered within the pages, along with a selection of rare photographs and posters. Why did the group's original guitarist leave, just before success came calling? Which former member went on to achieve superstardom in the U.S. after quitting the band? How did a founding member of the 1970s chart-topers 10cc play such an important role in the Hollies story? What did The Hollies get up top on a darkened Newcastle railway platform in the company of Paul McCartney's younger brother? How did a beer commercial revitalise the career of the group? Stories, history, chart facts... it's all here. Climb aboard and start Riding The Carousel!

No Reserve is your guide to shattering the ceiling you’ve built on your dreams by taking risks on yourself and your passions. Its eleven strategies for removing the reserve from your life—or dispensing with any minimum conditions for taking action and giving of yourself—will enable you to live with unlimited joy, success, optimism, and a fearless generosity. These strategies will not only transform your life for the better, but they will also enable you to make impressions on the lives of others, moving the needle of humanity toward the greater good. Life is like an auction: you get your best returns if you don’t set a reserve on it. The foremost “auctiontainer” who works with premier nonprofits such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, Letitia Frye knows how important it is to designate auctions as “no reserve,” or without a minimum bid. What’s more, she’s learned how crucial it is to approach life this way as well. When there is no perceived limitation, there is room for chance—as in, unlimited opportunities for success. Having worked her way to the top of a male-dominated industry, left a turbulent marriage to build a high-profile career as a single mom, suffered the devastating losses of her ex-husband and her plus-one child, and survived a traumatic brain injury, Letitia has bounced back from tragedy and beaten the odds multiple times and emerged stronger, more confident, and more successful. In No Reserve, she shares eleven key strategies that will help readers stop limiting themselves in all their endeavors—their career, their relationships, and their personal growth. As readers will discover, you can have everything you want in life, but you have to stop looking for opportunities to come to you, or for the road suddenly to become easier. Oftentimes, you have to make your own path: do the work before getting paid for it, create your own network by mentoring others, and give generously of yourself when you think you have little or nothing to offer. By implementing these and other principles, you will learn to build an authentic, absolute life in which you create the value you deserve.

Seventeen-year-old Tracy Miller met the love of her life . . . thirty years after her own death. Tracy was working at the House of Horrors at the Amazing Lands Theme Park when the fire broke out. Instead of running, she lost her life trying to save eleven-year-old Mack. Now thirty years have passed, and suddenly everything changes with the arrival of two new ghosts: a little girl named Ashley and a cute seventeen-year-old boy named Josh. Josh would do anything for Tracy, but can he help her let go of the past and accept his love? Ride of Your Life is a bittersweet, romantic, YA ghost story that was inspired by a true event: the Great Adventure Haunted Castle fire, which killed eight teenagers in 1984. It is a fantasy novel about undying love, and it won third-place in Smart Writer’s Write It Now (W.I.N.) contest in the YA category, which was judged by Alex Flinn, the author of Beastly and Cloaked. Hang on. Love can be as terrifying as a roller coaster, but it can also be the Ride of Your Life.
