DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Middle school readers will easily relate to the situational humor and school life, but everyone should read this book for its message. The Bubble Wrap Boy is perfect for fans of R.J. Palacio’s Wonder and will be an excellent addition to any library or classroom."-VOYA Charlie Han’s troubles are much bigger than he is. At school he’s branded an outsider, a loser—the tiny kid from the Chinese takeout. His only ally is Sinus Sedgely, a kid with a lower-level reputation than Charlie himself. Life at home isn’t much better. His dad is more skilled with a wok than he is with words, and his mom is suffocating the life out of Charlie, worried about his every move. But when a new passion leads Charlie to the mother of all confrontations, he finds his real mom has been hiding a massive secret. A secret that while shocking, might actually lead Charlie to feeling ten feet tall. The Bubble Wrap Boy is a funny and inspiring novel about friendship, family, and one undersized boy's ability to think BIG. "Both laugh-out-loud funny and heartbreaking...In the fast-growing bullying genre, Charlie's story stands out. This isn't a kid who will do anything to join the cool clique. This is a story about staying true to yourself and following your passion."-Kirkus Reviews "Earle excels at showing personal growth in the characters, and it is gratifying to observe the believable evolution of Sinus’s and Charlie’s parents. VERDICT Family drama with a solid mix of action, adventure, and humor."-SLJ "Charlie is a character to root for. He is witty and perceptive and has a secret weapon in his best friend, Sinus Sedgely....[The Bubble Wrap Boy is] exciting to read."-Booklist "Charlie's amusing sarcasm masks a vulnerability that will resonate with anyone who has felt like an outsider. The humiliation of being the butt of a joke is sensitively rendered, as is Charlie's slow reclamation of his pride in this witty, true-to-life story."-Publishers Weekly

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy book is based on my daughter Sofia's fight for life. Sofia was born at only 24 weeks, weighing 1 pound, 8 ounces, and was given very little chance of survival. Throughout Sofia's time in hospital, I kept a journal of her daily battles. I recount my own feelings of despair and helplessness, and I reflect on our time since Sofia's discharge from hospital. Sofia went on to battle various organ failures; major heart and eye surgery; severe anaemia due to her inability to make her own blood, which resulted in multiple blood transfusions; lumbar punctures; septicaemia; oxygen starvation and bleeding on the brain; chronic lung disease and continual resuscitation. Within months of Sofia being discharged from hospital, I suffered a breakdown that led to leaving my career on the grounds of ill health and declaring myself bankrupt. Sofia is my inspiration. For someone so tiny and fragile who could fit into the palm of my hand when she was born, she has given me strength and a reason to live. She has taught me the true meaning of the power of love, and she has shown me the strength of the bond that exists between a mother and her child.I wanted Sofia to grow up knowing how exceptional she is and just how proud of her I am, and that through her sheer determination to live she gave me the courage to face my fears and nightmares and to move forward. Becky Meechan grew up in a small town in Staffordshire, England. She is a former forensic scientist, an expert in the field of DNA interpretation. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/BeckyMeecha

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKOP Killer, a darkly dystopian science fiction thriller from Warren Hammond Juno Mozambe once had a life. That was when he was a dirty cop, married to a woman who suffered such profound abuse that she murdered her vile, drug kingpin father. Juno loved his wife and did his best to help her survive her guilt, her drug habit, and her desire to end her life on the dead-end planet of Lagarto. When she died, however, Juno's life went downhill. And then his first partner, the corrupt chief of the Koba Office of Police, was murdered. The man responsible, Emil Mota, is using the KOP for his personal gain. Juno has been laying low, but now he's ready to do whatever it takes to take down the bastard. Rather than working from inside the system, he's decided that the only way to take down the KOP is to create an independent base of power. So he gets involved with a team of dirty cops and starts working as a rent-a-thug for a whorehouse that needs protection. Juno's last partner knows that his risky plan has a purpose, but she's that rarest of creatures on the hothouse planet of Lagarto: an honest cop. She can't help him. When Juno discovers a series of profoundly twisted murders, he faces a bleak possibility: in his desperate quest for vengeance against the man who targeted him for death, Juno may have placed himself beyond any hope of redemption....
