No One Notices the Boys by Michelle Birkby Pdf

A murder at the hospital draws Sherlock Holmes’s bedridden landlady and Dr. Watson’s wife into another puzzling mystery. Patients are dying in the hospital ward. Surely this isn’t news. But to Mrs. Hudson, ill and dizzy from medication, the deaths—one patient, then another, and all of them women!—seem sinisterly connected. Even if she’s the only person who sees the connection. Mary Watson knows just how she feels, though her focus is less on sick women than on missing boys—the skinny, grubby, poor ones that nobody wanted in the first place. Sherlock Holmes isn’t interested in either issue; he and Dr. Watson have more important puzzles to solve. So once again, it is left to Mary and Mrs. Hudson to help the truly vulnerable, to draw lines between the dying women and the disappearing boys, and to follow those lines to their grim conclusion. “Riveting. . . . A thrilling historical mystery novel about a woman’s work to uncover the twisted nature of humanity’s worst beings.” —Foreword Reviews “[A] solid sequel.” —Publishers Weekly

Wait This Time by Alyssa Moore Pdf

Wait This Time began simply as a set of journal entries and ideas that encapsulated Alyssa Moore’s adventures as a young teenager. As she neared the end of her high school journey, she sought to create a formal collection of the words and works that helped her get through the ups and downs of adolescence. With over four years worth of writing, Moore has amassed a stunning collection that is representative of the experiences of so many. Rather than edit her work, she has made the bold decision to leave her writing unaltered, in its original state, in order to illustrate the truth in her expression. Wait This Time serves as a benchmark of some of the most significant moments of her life so far, while also providing a sense of catharsis to help close out one chapter of her life as she begins another. With this book, she sheds the old and gives a warm welcome to the new.

The Brewer's Boy by Feona J. Hamilton Pdf

"It is 1750 and Daniel, the 10-year-old foundling living with Dick Bates is worried. Dick is the owner of the Peacock Alehouse in White Cross Street, Islington. It s a thriving alehouse and Daniel is very happy there, looking after the horses and sleeping in the stables. There has already been a minor fire, which Daniel escaped from and took the horses to safety. Someone is trying to get rid of the Peacock, but who? On the opposite side of Chiswell Street from the Peacock, Sam Whitbread s huge new brewery has been built and Sam is making a fortune from his porter. Kate, having walked away from her drunken mother and her awful home on the other side of Old Street, is taken in by her Uncle Tom and Aunt Joan and learns what it s like to have a loving, caring woman looking after her. She also gets a hopeless crush on Sam Whitbread, a tall, handsome young man in his early twenties, much to the disgust of the Shewell's son, Barney. Dick suspects that Tom Shewell and Sam Whitbread are up to no good, and asks Daniel to act as a spy for him and let him know if he finds out anything suspicious. Daniel is delighted to be able to help his master, who has been very kind to him since he picked him up off the streets a year ago. Daniel still can t really remember what happened before then (but it comes back to him by the end of the story). What happens to the Peacock and its inhabitants? Does Kate get over her passion for Sam Whitbread? Do Sam and Tom stay as partners? And, of course, what is Daniel s story? Boson Books also offers "Belaset s Daughter" by Feona Hamilton.

Places No One Knows by Brenna Yovanoff Pdf

Fans of Lady Bird will love this novel about a good girl who dreams herself into a bad boy's room in this lyrically romantic novel that Maggie Stiefvater, author of The Raven King, says she read and "woke up satisfied." Waverly Camdenmar spends her nights running until she can’t even think. Then the sun comes up, life goes on, and Waverly goes back to her perfectly hateful best friend, her perfectly dull classes, and the tiny, nagging suspicion that there’s more to life than student council and GPAs. Marshall Holt is a loser. He drinks on school nights and gets stoned in the park. He is at risk of not graduating, he does not care, he is no one. He is not even close to being in Waverly’s world. But then one night Waverly falls asleep and dreams herself into Marshall’s bedroom—and when the sun comes up, nothing in her life can ever be the same. In Waverly’s dreams, the rules have changed. But in her days, she’ll have to decide if it’s worth losing everything for a boy who barely exists. "Waverly and Marshall burn brightly . . . both refreshingly flawed as they come into their own. Readers will forgo sleep themselves to witness their vibrant, achingly real story unfold. A brilliant romance." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred "A tightly woven, luminously written novel that captures the uncertain nature of high school and the difficult path of self-discovery." —Booklist, Starred "Yovanoff offers a multilayered exploration of human connections, particularly those that manifest in unpredictable ways."—Publishers Weekly, Starred

Bear's Boys by Eli Gold Pdf

Bear's Boys is a collection of inspiring stories featuring 36 men whose lives were altered by their encounter with the legendary coach while they were players and coaches at Alabama. The stories of star players such as Joe Namath, Ken Stabler, Marty Lyons, Bob Baumhower, Ozzie Newsome, and Gene Stallings show how the Coach forever changed them as young men and ball players on the field and later in life after football. When Bob Baumhower was released from the Dolphins in 1986, he immediately did what Coach Bryant would have done: he made a plan. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he snapped into practical mode. First, he sold his boat and his big house. Then, he systematically began exploring business opportunities and setting goals for the next several decades of his life. When he started his first restaurant, he knew he had yet another chance to apply the principles he learned on the football field in real life. "Coach Bryant said there's a lot of blood, sweat and guts between dreams and success," Baumhower said. "That's true in the restaurant business. . . . Today, every success I have, every win that I have, in my opinion, came from the fact that Coach Bryant cared enough to talk to me and turn the light on for me Includes stories for such men as Bob Baumhower Jeremiah Castille Paul Crane Sylvester Croom John Hannah Dennis Homan Scott Hunter Lee Roy Jordan E.

Return to Elenair by Dawn Davies Pdf

It was dark; the air was suffocating, smothering and oppressive. Heavy, laboured breathing could be heard – his own - and somewhere behind, the sound of a pursuer..... Abruptly the walls opened out and he rolled forward and lay prostrate, exhausted, spent. He rolled over. Piercing red eyes looked down into his and a sinister voice whispered “so, you have returned have you, boy?” A month has passed since Paul was in Elenair but after an accident he returns to find that eight years have passed there. His head injury means that he cannot remember where he is from or who he is. The people of Elenair have become suspicious and fearful so Paul, as a stranger, is called before the Council of Elders to answer for himself. It is his old friend Gaius who accounts for him and helps him to remember who he really is. Together they are sent out by Erendor on a new quest; to rescue their friend Joy, a talking horse, who has been stolen by Elevion’s new workers, the Sendom and to stop their old foe Elevion poisoning the land. Before Paul can go home he also has to reclaim a personal item stolen from him by Elevion.

Master and Maid by L. Allen Harker Pdf

This fiction is a 1910 love story beautifully written by English author Lizzie Allen Harker. It's incredibly depicted characters, engaging storyline, and elevated writing style made it a remarkable work during its time. Harker is best known for her 1917 fiction Jan and Her Job. Her first hit in Britain and the US was in 1908, with Miss Esperance and Mr. Wycherley. Excerpt from Master and Maid: "On the second Friday of term Anthony Bevan, whom all his world called "Bruiser Bevan," Housemaster of "B. House" in Hamchester College, sat at dessert with three of his prefects. They had exhaustively discussed the prospects of the coming football season, had mutually exchanged their holiday experiences, and now, when it was really time that the boys should betake themselves to their several studies, they still lingered enjoying the last few pleasant moments over the walnuts and the very light port that their housemaster considered suited to their young digestions."

Origin: A Novel by Diana Abu-Jaber Pdf

"Finally, a novel of literary suspense that gets almost everything right—forensically and psychologically." —Sarah Weinman, Baltimore Sun Secretly, in her heart of hearts, Lena Dawson hides the strangest of beliefs about her childhood. Hiding behind a cool competence as a superb fingerprint analyst in a crime lab in snowy Syracuse, New York, she feels totally out of place in the ordinary world of human interaction. Especially since the controlling husband who guided and protected her, then cheated and left her (though now he wants her back). Her uncanny ability to read a crime scene draws her into investigating a mysterious series of crib deaths—but ultimately the most difficult puzzle she must solve is the one of her own origins. Diana Abu-Jaber, a “gifted and graceful writer” (Chicago Tribune), masterfully “transcends formula” (Kirkus Reviews) as “the tension of Origin escalates, shaped as much by beautifully nuanced prose as menacing events” (New York Daily News).
