Candlelight danced on the gold-gilded walls and illuminated the stained-glass windows. You have one chance. She held her breath and started down the aisle, determined to not let this opportunity pass. Every silent step reminded her that a thirteen-year-old discovered in this castle was as good as dead.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn This Paper Boat, poet Gregory Kan traces the life and written fragments of Robin Hyde, vivid with imagery and impression – the tide pool at Island Bay and its shrimp, the driftwood and crushed lemon leaves. He listens to the stories of his parents and of their parents, the eels and milk, frangipani trees and barbed wire of their childhoods. He remembers a jungle of his own; he searches for a friend gone astray; he finds ghosts. Entwined as narrative but reft with fragments, this book examines the public and private rituals of institutions, martial and medical, and of communities, families and individuals. With the irreparable fractures in identity and material, time and space, the author discovers a world driven by its incompleteness and constructability.

Absolutely sui generis." —Booklist, starred review Without a word, The Wanderer presents one little paper boat's journey across the ocean, past reefs and between icebergs, through schools of fish, swaying water plants, and terrifying sea monsters. The little boat is all alone, and while its aloneness gives it the chance to wonder at the fairy-tale world above and below the waves, that also means it must save itself when it storms. And so it does. Readers young and old will find the strength and inspiration in this quietly powerful story about growing, learning, and life's ups and downs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShe's a free-spirited dreamer. He's a brilliant painter. But now their shared passion for art has turned into something deeper... For as long as she can remember, Kugy has loved to write. Whimsical stories are her passion, along with letters full of secret longings that she folds into paper boats and sets out to sea. Now that she's older, she dreams of following her heart and becoming a true teller of tales, but she decides to get a "real job" instead and forget all about Keenan, the guy who makes her feel as if she's living in one of her own fairy tales. Sensitive and introverted, Keenan is an aspiring artist, but he feels pressured to pursue a more practical path. He's drawn to Kugy from first sight: she's unconventional, and the light radiating from her eyes and the warmth of her presence pull him in. They seem like a perfect match--both on and off the page--but revealing their secret feelings means risking their friendship and betraying the people they love most. Can they find the courage to admit their love for each other and chase their long-held dreams?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe incredible history and culture of India is extensive and unforgettable. The experience of India is best told through the reflective tales of Kerkhoff and co-author, Pejathaya. Pejathaya is a native of India, and writes with incredible feeling as he shares his true life experiences. Woven together, their stories offer a refreshing look at a remarkable country. A person's journey through life has often been compared to a ship on the high seas. Tossed about by wind and waves we tack the wind as best we can. We keep our eyes on the horizon, forever watching the skies and searching for our port. Each paper boat the young boy sets adrift in the moving stream is like another soul searching for a destination.You can almost smell the spicy curries, and feel the dust in your mouth as you read the sensations experienced by young Americans when they discover Indian village life. As they travel to the commercial centers, the blaring horns of the rickshaws and lorries and the cries of the street vendors come to life as you push your way onto the crowded buses and railway cars. The perils of amoebic dysentery, infections and lack of privacy make life challenging. Can these Americans survive this alien environment?
