Kai decide di partecipare alla competizione di surf delle Big Waves, nel cuore delle maestose onde dell'oceano Atlantico, luogo culto del surf, nel pittoresco paese di Nazarè in Portogallo, ma qualcosa di inaspettato accade.Si ritroverà a risolvere un nuovo caso che lo condurranno al maestoso faro, al Santuario di Nostra Signora di Nazaré ed alla Statua in omaggio ai surfisti con la testa di cervo ispirata ad una legenda del luogo.Antiche rune incise su massi e un enigmatico ciondolo d'argento porteranno alla luce una connessione ad una forza oscura che ha cercato di sfruttare il potere delle onde dell'oceano per scopi malvagi.Le sue avventure da detective lo metteranno alla prova, ma con l'aiuto del suo gatto Robbie e l'amicizia di Isabella, una donna anziana dal passato misterioso, riuscirà a risolvere questo nuovo caso.

Throughout his entire life, Kai had been subjected to constant belittlement, bullying, and disdain. As a seventeen-year-old boy, he endured relentless torment at school, a reality that seemed to stretch back indefinitely.During his short moments of respite, he sought solace in the realm of online gaming, never venturing into the realm of dating. Upon glimpsing his presence, girls would promptly turn up their noses in disdain. However, an unexpected turn of events would forever alter his existence, plunging him into a profound darkness fueled by the venom coursing through his veins, an excruciating, unbearable agony stemming from a seemingly innocuous video game. Good and evil emerge as opposing forces, poised for a clash. "Maka, take both pills," implored Kai, his voice laden with desperation. "The blue one will irrevocably transform your life, while the red one will grant you vengeance against those who have inflicted this suffering upon you. I have experienced the same plight, but I am here to assist you now." The very girl with whom Kai had spent countless hours playing online games had materialized before him, her presence a beacon of salvation after he had been savagely beaten nearly to the point of death. An icy breeze tore through the dimly lit alley, propelling parchment fragments through the skeletal remnants of crates and barrels.

Two families. Seven generations of missed chances. Can Hazel and Seth overcome the fate that pulls them apart?She never expected to leave her London boarding school with its high walls and privilege. He never though he'd have to leave California and give up surfing and soccer. And yet, both left, pulled away from their lives by fate.They started their senior year at the same high school, both of them new and unknown. Hazel, wealthy, beautiful and brilliant, immediately became part of the most popular group; while Seth, struggling to care for his seven siblings, wearing only cast offs, was slow to make friends.

And each time they came in contact, miraculous and wondrous things begin to happen. Hazel's mother is softer and home more often. Her father begins taking time to visit with her instead of rushing off to his lectures. Seth's mother began caring for the family, the house, and about life and laughing again.

Für Graf Archibald scheint das Schloss verloren, als es zu einer unerwarteten Wende kommt.

EmmaRose est une jeune auteure qui écrit son premier roman mêlant faits réels et fiction. Celui-ci invite à la confiance en soi et à la résilience.

Elle est confrontée très tôt aux difficultés de la vie (santé, famille, échec scolaire) et met tout en oeuvre pour réussir à surmonter ses épreuves. Ce livre cible les adolescents et les jeunes adultes (13-18+). Il a pour but de donner un message d'espoir, de montrer que rien n'est insurmontable mais surtout que la vie vaut d'être vécue. EmmaRose opte pour une stratégie d'écriture allant de la fluidité à la complexité. L'idée étant de familiariser le lecteur avec les personnages principaux pour continuer vers plus de profondeur identitaire et émotionnelle.

Las sombras se movían en las esquinas, y el aire parecía cargado de secretos ancestrales. Amelia avanzó por los pasillos polvorientos, siguiendo un rastro de pistas dispersas que había recopilado en su investigación. Los susurros del viento resonaban como susurros de fantasmas mientras exploraba habitación tras habitación, cada una más enigmática que la anterior.En una de las habitaciones, Amelia encontró un viejo diario cubierto de polvo en un escritorio antiguo. Lo abrió con manos temblorosas y comenzó a leer sobre la historia oculta de los Hastings, los oscuros rituales que habían practicado y las consecuenc

Le voilà ! est le premier volume de la série Ma vie chamboulée avec Quatre Quenottes. Il s'agit ici de la nouvelle version, revue et augmentée de chapitres et dessins inédits. Destinés avant tout aux 7/11 ans, ces courts romans mettent en scène le quotidien d'un sympathique binôme. Le lecteur s'identifiera facilement à Léo, l'aîné, qui s'exprime à la première personne, et progressera sur la voie de la lecture autonome tout en enrichissant son vocabulaire.Chaque titre peut se lire indépendamment (et servir aussi à l'apprentissage du français comme langue étrangère par un public plus âgé, qui y trouvera naturellement des références culturelles); les quatre premiers, avec leurs gros caractères, sont accessibles dès le CE1.Mais cette distrayante série se voudrait également une invitation à aller plus loin. En effet, à mesure que son monde s'élargit et qu'il contemple la croissance tous azimuts de son petit frère, le héros interroge son vécu et affine sa perception des événements. Au fil des pages, émaillées de moments heureux, cocasses ou plus pénibles, au fil des liens tissés, Léo avance dans sa connaissance de lui-même comme dans sa réflexion. Chemin faisant, il se construit, et prend goût à l'aventure intérieure... ce qui ne l'empêche pas, bien au contraire ! de garder les pieds sur terre. Volume après volume, explorez la nature humaine à hauteur d'enfant, tout en lisant un roman ! EXTRAIT du chapitre 1: L'Aîné Quand mes parents tout émus m'ont annoncé que la famille allait s'agrandir, je n'avais pas encore sept ans. J'étais au CP et j'apprenais à lire. Bah, à lire, écrire, compter, mais pas seulement: chahuter un peu quand la maîtresse ne me regardait pas, mémoriser des blagues de Toto pour les raconter à mes copains aux récréations, cela faisait partie du programme, enfin, du programme que je m'étais fixé. J'essayais aussi de devenir l'as des toupies, et j'étais justement en train de m'exercer sur le carrelage du salon quand Maman était entrée dans la pièce, précédée de son gros ventre et suivie de Papa, qui avait l'air tout chose.- Maintenant, on peut te le dire, mon chéri: dans quelques mois, tu seras grand frère...- Je le savais...- Ah, bon ?Ils avaient échangé un regard mi-amusé, mi-déconcerté.- Eh bien nous, on n'était pas si sûrs que ça qu'il allait venir, ce bébé, alors on avait préféré attendre un peu pour te le dire. Tu comprends ?Je comprenais surtout que j'allais devoir partager mes parents et mes jouets, mais quand même, pas question de se plaindre: c'était ce que j'avais toujours réclamé.Même les lamentations de mes copains d'école ou de ma cousine Chloé sur les bêtises des petits et la fatigue des grands, n'avaient fait que renforcer mon envie de devenir...pour l'instant, ni pompier, ni plombier, mais de découvrir un autre métier: celui...d'aîné !.. EXTRAITS du chapitre 3: Le décodeur de pleurs Ami lecteur, les machines, il en existe des tas: à calculer, à découper, à coudre, à moudre... Mais pour décoder les larmes des bébés, on n'a pas encore tout à fait trouvé.Le royaume des bébés, c'est comme un pays étranger. Quand on ne comprend rien, on tente de deviner, on scrute l'expression et les gestes de l'intéressé...et peu à peu, on fait des progrès. (...) D'autres soirs, j'ai vu mon frère à plat-ventre sur l'avant-bras de mon papa. Pourquoi donc ? - Ça facilite la digestion.- Ah, bon...Moi, je croyais voir un bébé fauve ayant englouti sa première antilope et faisant nonchalamment la sieste sur une branche, les pattes dans le vide...D'autres fois, il lui fallait de la musique pour apaiser les tensions; je le trouvais bien délicat, ce bébé lion, centre de toutes les attentions !- Allez, cesse donc de rugir. Qu'est-ce qui p

You don't need a third eye to see through the wall. But I guess you're single-eyed unless you read this story. Wheel of time, loss, failure, or war doesn't always mean sealed precarious livelihood or predestination. The reason why you don't fly is that you can still find all you need with your two feet on the ground. If you were a warrior, you would have taken a sword to seek justice, however, for a wise man, words are stronger than sharp blades. But what would happen if a wise man ever took swords? Isn't it funny how all humans can be so related to the earth? they all came from it, and would return to it one day. People say that it takes only a man to bring change.

Pjesme koje nam je darovao pjesnik Zvonimir Lesic svojom drugom zbirkom "Pejzaz, ljubav, duh" govore nekim svojim posebnim jezikom kao kad je jedan svetac pričao s pticama, tako da se i ove pjesme čitaju posebnom paznjom i posebnim osjecajem, te ovaj pjesnik govori dusom, a ne običnim razgovorom i razigran je kao dijete, da bi vec u sljedecoj pjesmi ozbiljno progovorio o ljubavi, sreci, tuzi, Bogu, napustenosti. Dok sam čitala Pjesnikove pjesme, moram priznati kako su me najvise dotaknuli njegovi duhovni stihovi koji su toliko ozbiljni istkani Pred nase oči, da sam jednostavno u sebi poklonila posebnu pozornost toj poeziji. Pjesnik se obraca svakome od nas, on nas svakog zove i Pjesnik je svakome od nas prijatelj. On je jedna bezazlena dusa koja radost zivota nalazi se u pjesmi, glazbi, umjetnosti, to je osoba koja ce nas iznenađivati ​​svojim saljivim, ali vrlo ozbiljnim stihovima . Pjesnik vjeruje i ono čemu zahvaljuje za svaku minutu svog zivota koja polako teče, za ovaj sat zivota koji polako prolazi, za ovaj dan sto je dosao i odlazi, za ovo ljeto koje je sada ovdje i vise kao takvo nikad nece biti, jer ce doci drugačije ljeto, drugačiji ce i on biti i vjeruje, da je poezija sjajna zvijezda sto na nebu sja.
