Invisiboy : Elizabeth Hartley
Invisiboy
Thursday 1st March started off much like any other day with no reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary would happen. In fact, Thursday’s were 12 year old Archie’s favourite as there was a double games period in the afternoon which often meant playing cricket, rugby or his beloved soccer.
As he sat on the bus that morning chattering to best friends, Daniel and Jack, and munching on his toast, he could never have imagined that today was going to be the day when his life changed forever. Today was also going to be a life changer for Mr. Leak the science teacher. He had no classes on Thursday afternoons from 2.00pm onwards which left him lots of time, undisturbed to devote to his newest project. And this most recent project was exciting, very exciting indeed.
He had toiled long hours testing and retesting his calculations and theories. He was convinced that finally he was close, very, very close to the breakthrough that would mark the pinnacle of his career. Today was going to be the day that his life changed forever. Of that he was certain. How right he was.
For to Mr. Leak’s dismay, Thursday the 1st of March was the day that his and Archie’s paths would unexpectedly cross, with unimaginable consequences which would send the 12 year old boy on an exciting, scary and at times extremely amusing adventure.

Or will he end up like the boy, a helpless pawn neither living nor dead?

Black Bear Lake : Leslie Liautaud
The young adult years can be filled with an overwhelming amount of conflicting emotions: isolation and pain while separating from parents, the discovery of intense, searing and sometimes unrequited love, all along side the seemingly endless view that anything dreamed is possible. These universal teenage sentiments that inevitably, for better or worse, stay with us through the entire course of our adult lives, are captured in Black Bear Lake.
Adam Craig, a forty year-old stock trader in Chicago, finds his marriage teetering on the rocks and his life at a standstill. Taking the advice of a therapist, Adam travels to his childhood family compound on Black Bear Lake with hopes of reconciling with his past. Stepping onto the northern Wisconsin property, he relives the painful memories of the summer of 1983, his last summer at the lake.
Fifteen year-old Adam carries a world of worry on his shoulders as he arrives at Black bear lake for a month long family reunion. Between his mother’s declining health, as she quietly battles quickly spreading Cancer, and his cherished cousin’s depression over her parent’s bitter divorce, Adam is swept up in smothering familial love and heartbreaking adult betrayal. The arrival of a sensual but troublesome babysitter throws the delicate balance of his family into a tailspin. Wedged in the middle of it all, Adam is forced to learn that there’s a fine line between self-preservation and doing what’s right, all the while unaware of the impending tragedy that will ultimately change his life forever.

The Seed of Christ / Buddha Within You : Susanna Eun
The Seed of Christ / Buddha Within You
A compelling question-and-answer format book designed to guide anyone to attaining the God/Christ/Buddha Consciousness in a short period of time.
By following the guidelines suggested in the book, readers will manifest their highest version of Self and embark on a fuller, deeper and ultimately happier life. Released in early March, the book is poised to resonate with readers around the world.
The major tenet of the book is: “It’s time for us to evolve into higher beings.” By delving into the question—Who and What are You, the book explores why we humans have been locked up in the world of limitations and confusions for millennia; and how we were led to believe our identities are only made up of our physical bodies, frail minds, and other personal information.
Unlike other spiritual literature that talks about overcoming ego-self or unconditional love without specific guidelines to follow, this book offers concrete steps to transcend the current belief systems, to discover the divine essence within, and to be re-born with a new sense of identity that is eternal, omniscient, and omnipresent.
Original teachings of Buddha and Jesus that emphasize the sacredness of each individual are interwoven throughout the book; the ways to be freed from all man-made dogmas, rules, and regulations are fully explained.
The authors claim that unless our true identities are discovered, experienced, and lived fully right here and now, love and compassion are just words in the world of illusion, while pain and suffering can never be lessened in our realities.

The Buck Pass : T.R. Whittier
The Buck Pass
When an ordinary dollar bill passes through the hands of six strangers, the life of each one takes an extraordinary turn. The psychologically-impoverished heiress, the homeless housewife, the closed-minded artist, the car-hating cab driver, the down-to-earth rising star, and the paternally-challenged stay-at-home dad have nothing in common other than the fact that they are miserable. Their lives are filled with problems, but their heads are void of solutions. It is only after coming in contact with a certain piece of enigmatic currency that they find their way to happiness.
Inspired by the etymology of the phrase “buck passing,” which recounts that an object (known as a “buck”) was passed during early poker games as a means of indicating which player’s turn it was to deal the cards, The Buck Pass is the story of a single dollar bill that acts as an agent of chance and change. Rather than deal the cards, however, the protagonists of The Buck Pass find themselves encouraged to deal inadvertently with their problems – to follow their hearts, leave their mark, and, like the dollar, move on. The Buck Pass – it doesn’t stop here.
