Keeper of the Children by William H. Hallahan Pdf

The New York Times–bestselling author of The Search for Joseph Tully delivers “a mixture of horror and occultism told with driving force” (The New York Times). Eddie Benson is a typical middle-class father with a secure job, a home in suburban Philadelphia, and a seemingly happy family. For Benson life holds no fear or terror. Then something unusual happens. One day his daughter, Renni, a normal, fun-loving fourteen-year-old, disappears. Soon after, Eddie finds her wandering the streets of Philadelphia with a band of children. Dressed in orange robes, they bear drums and tambourines and cymbals. Moving through the crowds, they dance and sing and proffer metal bowls for coins. The children refuse to return to their homes. The youngsters, their parents have learned, are living with a mysterious Tibetan monk with strange, otherworldly powers. What follows is a series of bone-chilling incidents, each more violent than the last, all inexplicable. Only Eddie Benson will not abandon hope. And to rescue his child, Eddie must run a terrible risk, one that could cost him his life and his soul. “Hallahan improbably makes it work. . . . A careful and serious writer, making the absurd plausible and wringing satisfying suspense out of it.” —Too Much Horror Fiction

The Elephant Keepers' Children by Peter Hoeg Pdf

“A delightful novel” and international bestseller from the author of Smilla's Sense of Snow (Guardian) Danish siblings search for their missing parents—eccentric ‘miracle-makers’—in this whimsical tale about faith and the magic of everyday life. Told from the precocious perspective of 14-year-old Peter, The Elephant Keepers’ Children is about 3 siblings and how they deal with their eccentric parents. Peter’s father is a vicar, his mother is an artisan. Both are equally and profoundly devout, known for fabricating cheap miracles for the congregation of the only church on Finø. People of all religious faiths coexist peacefully on the island—yet nothing is at it seems. When Peter’s parents suddenly go missing, Peter and his siblings fear the worst—has their parents’ relentless quest to boost church attendance finally put them in danger? Told with poignancy and humor, The Elephant Keepers’ Children is a fascinating exploration of fundamentalism versus spiritual freedom, the vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and the triumph of the human spirit.

We the Children by Andrew Clements Pdf

The first in a six-book series, We the Children follows Ben, his tech-savvy friend, Jill, and the class know-it-all, Robert, as they uncover a remarkable history and use it to protect the school. Sixth grader Benjamin Pratt loves history, which makes going to the historic Duncan Oakes School a pretty cool thing. But a wave of commercialization is hitting the area and his beloved school is slated to be torn down to make room for an entertainment park. This would be most kids’ dream—except there’s more to the developers than meets the eye… and more to the school. Because weeks before the wrecking ball is due to strike, Ben finds an old leather pouch that contains a parchment scroll with a note three students wrote in 1791. The students call themselves the Keepers of the School, and it turns out they’re not the only secret group to have existed at Duncan Oakes.

My Children's Keeper by Michelle-Marie Pdf

I have always considered myself to be a very observant individual; in tune with people and things around me. However, life proved that although I had sight, I could not see what was right before me. I was so far removed from being in tune when it came to the most important people in my life; my two children. Life is unpredictable and oftentimes feels like a test. Satan has a way of showing up at the most inopportune time. However, you have to trust and believe that things are working for the greater good behind the scenes. Every trial ends with a blessing; every tribulation ends with a testimony. Regardless where you may be in your journey, don't ever give up! Tribulations do not last forever.

Star Children by Bob Alford Pdf

In another part of the galaxy there is an artificial world called Beltaria. It is inhabited by an entity of vast intelligence, and a cadre of androids and robots that serve him. He is the Galaxy Keeper, and his subjects know him only as The Emperor. He was created by an ancient species that once inhabited the galaxy, to rule on their behalf. His mission is to maintain order and to preserve peace in the galaxy. He is immortal, and is served by a theocracy that believes their creators are gods and that they rule the galaxy by divine right. The Emperor has the power to destroy entire star systems inhabited by any species that he sees as a threat to his mission. The Galactic League has new technology acquired as a result of their earlier encounter with the Emperor. Alpha team fourteen, who went through the Crystal Pyramid and met the Emperor, has a new ship that is much faster than the old one, vastly increasing the extent of space that can be explored. They also have a new mission: to find the other ten species that they learned of when they were on Beltaria. The explorers discover five species inhabiting a region of the galaxy almost 200 light-years from League space. They are shocked to learn that these newly discovered cousins are involved in an interstellar war. They also discover that the war has not gone without notice by the Emperor who has already decided to destroy over a hundred star systems in order to put an end to the war by exterminating the species involved. Amanda, TJ and the rest of the team find themselves in a race against time as they try to establish relations with these newly found cousins, bring an end to this awful war, and prevent the Galaxy Keeper from using his power to end billions of innocent lives.

The Keeper by Marguerite Poland Pdf

When lighthouse keeper Hannes Harker is posted to a remote island with his young wife, he discovers something long-hidden in the tower that causes him to lose his footing and fall. Seriously injured, Hannes is evacuated to hospital and nursed back to health by Sister Rika, to whom he haltingly tells the story of his life: of his mother's mysterious death, of his wild young wife, Aletta, and of the desolate island inhabited only by the lighthouse keepers and guano workers - two communities confined together, yet rigidly separated in one of the bleakest places on earth. With the arrival of a figure from Aletta's past, her own secrets erupt into the present, just as the simmering tensions and injustices endured for so long by the guano workers erupt into a single, shocking act of violence. Written in the exquisite, haunting prose for which Marguerite Poland is renowned, The Keeper is the story of two generations of lighthouse keepers - men obsessed by their duty to the light - and the wives who accompany them into a life of frightening isolation. The Keeper is a novel about the power of secrets, the power of love, and the power of stories.
