On learning of the assassination of his godfather, President John F Kennedy, Boston College undergraduate DANIEL KELLY believes Communism is behind the unlawful killing, a backlash from the Cuban missiles crises. Beside himself, Daniel makes a spur-of-the-moment vow, dedicating his life to combating communists, the purveyors of evil. So as to advance his pledge, he joins the Navy and becomes an aviation pilot. Assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Annie Oakley, operating at Yankee Station off Vietnam, he gets stuck into fulfilling his personal mission in a practical way. On a rest-and-recreation visit to Hong Kong from the Vietnam War, he meets and falls for a beautiful singer, CHRISTINA ALZONA. His liaison with her sets off a change in his general attitude; towards people with skin less white than his, and towards the enemy. How is he to cope with his dilemma; his longstanding commitment to combating the purveyors of evil, precariously balanced against his new-found standpoint?

A comical story of imagination and friendship—now available as a paperback! Elephant is enjoying a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, when suddenly a Hedgehog says: I believe you have my boat. Elephant listens patiently as Hedgehog insists: I crossed deep oceans . . . tasted the salty spray of whales [in that umbrella-boat]. Cat, Bear, and Rabbit soon interrupt Elephant—each claiming that his umbrella is really their tent, flying machine, and cane. Elephant is flabbergasted—after all, it’s an umbrella, and it certainly hasn’t been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it? Jackie Azúa Kramer and illustrator Maral Sassouni have created a gem in this fun read-aloud!

The complete four-book Time's Malady in one volume. Time’s Malady Book One Lee is a wizard. Wizards are powerful, and none more so than he. But it is a universal law that power attracts trouble. It also attracts witches. When the down-on-her-luck but plucky Shera knocks him down, begging to be indentured, he resists. But Shera is dogged and will prove herself, no matter what she has to destroy. You see, it’s joining Lee or death for the powerful clock witch, and she’d prefer to see out her days in his dusty factory than vie with the pirates she’s running from. But once one starts running, it’s so very hard to stop. And even if Shera runs head – and heart – first into Lee’s arms, it won’t be enough to save her or the city. A dark treasure across the sea beckons. All will fall to dust in its path unless these two practitioners can stop arguing long enough to fight back. … Time’s Malady follows a pompous wizard and his rare witch as they’re thrust into a battle to find out each other’s secrets.
