DOWNLOAD EBOOKAward-winning author Kristiana Gregory picks up where THE LEGEND OF JIMMY SPOON leaves off, in this fast-paced, robust historical adventure based on the true exploits of Elijah Nicholas Wilson. Salt Lake City, 1860: It's been several years since young Jimmy Spoon returned from living with the Shoshoni and he's restless. Working at the family store is drudgery. He longs to get out of the city, to breathe fresh air, and to sleep under the stars. One day, he sees a newspaper ad: "WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily, orphans preferred. Wages $25 a week ... " It's the chance of a lifetime. And Jimmy knows he's a perfect candidate. After years with the Indians, he can ride a horse like no other white boy. The trail boss hires him on the spot. But riding for the Express isn't easy. A rider must cover 50 miles a day through rugged terrain that exhausts three or four horses on each trip. Living conditions are primitive. There are outlaws, angry tribes, blistering heat and below-zero winters. And all along, Jimmy yearns to return to his Shoshoni family. Especially to rekindle his friendship with the lovely Nahanee. VOYA: " ... terrific ... " SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Exciting ... those who have not read 'Legend' will certainly want to do so after finishing this one." BOOKLIST: "Gregory packs her chapters with enough action, drama, and humor to please even hard-core reluctant readers. A painless way to learn American history."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKevin O'Hara's journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would try to circle the entire coastline of Ireland on foot—and with a donkey and cart no less? But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the whole of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Determined to reach his grandmother's village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along the entire jagged coast of a divided Ireland. Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland's greatest resource—its people. Along the way, Kevin would meet incredible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self. “One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written...In a style evocative of Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, O'Hara writes memorably of his most unusual way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” —Library Journal At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
