Yet, what appeared to be a straightforward bargain becomes complicated when Gerard realizes that the more time he spends with Marietta, the more he wishes he was courting her for real. But can he persuade Marietta to give him a chance when her heart might belong to another man? "--

"This picture book biography about Asian American basketball hero Wataru Misaka will inspire young readers to challenge barriers and dream big. As the child of Japanese immigrants, Wataru 'Wat' Misaka often felt like he didn't fully belong in either Japanese or American culture. He was sometimes excluded, treated differently, and bullied, even though he was born in the United States. As he grew up, however, Wat discovered he had a very special talent for playing basketball. Even at just five foot seven, he was unstoppable. After leading his high school team to a state championship, Wat played for the Utah Utes and helped the team win the 1944 NCAA championship. Wat kept playing even as Japanese Americans from the West Coast were sent to incarceration camps for the duration of World War II. Then, after two years serving in the United States Army, Wat returned to basketball, leading the University of Utah to Madison Square Garden and winning another national championship. The cheering crowd recognized Wat the way he wanted to be seen-as a person who was both Japanese and American and an amazing basketball player. Talent scouts from the New York Knicks were so impressed, they drafted Wat to their team. Wat's undeniable talent changed history as he became the first person of color to play in the NBA"--

With the help of a new magical enforcer, the Blue Falcons will need to learn to use the magic of the carnival against itself, including a host of new magical carnival candies, and tap into the power of their own dreams to battle their greatest adversary yet.

Almost everyone gets the doldrums at some level, whether from heartache, despair, or simply feeling that life isn't what they had planned. Author Jason F. Wright invites readers to rise above life's challenges with a message of hope. He offers specific counsel and advice he's learned through personally striving to live a Christ-centered life and through worshipping with many different congregations together in churches across the United States. This illustrated book is like an extended greeting card of comfort, support, and courage, reminding those who are struggling that they are not alone in their trials. The core of the author's message begins with a promise from God and three words that every Christian is familiar with--"He is risen." "Those three words are more than a headline," says the author. "They are a promise. Because He is risen, we too shall rise again. Every child of God has moments when it feels as if a giant rock has been rolled in front of our path. You may feel emotionally whipped by winds beyond your control. You may be thinking your own saving miracle is too far away to lean on. If you feel alone, in the dark, or powerless, remember that rising again doesn't need to wait until body and soul reunite. HE IS RISEN so we can rise . . . TODAY."

"Beauty's life is the stuff of fairy tales. The youngest in her family, Beauty isn't trying to catch Stephan's eye. He is the lord baron's heir, well above her family's modest station, but when he kisses her hand at a party, Beauty is swept away by his charm, his wit, and his passionate declarations of love. Hearts can be untamable creatures, especially when touched by the fires of first love, and Beauty doesn't see the truth of Stephan's intentions until it is too late. Until he stops asking for Beauty's love--and simply takes it from her one night despite her refusal. Beauty locks away the secret of what happened to her, and when her father emerges from the enchanted forest with a stolen rose in his hand and the tale of a vicious beast on his breath, Beauty seizes the chance to run as far from Stephan as possible. She has some experience with beasts, after all. Certainly the one in the forest couldn't be any worse than the one she's already encountered. Breaking the Beast's curse might be the key to discovering her own path to healing--and finding the courage to allow herself to feel reborn" --
