“Together, Rockliff and Bruno make the scientific method seem exciting, and kids interested in science and history will likely be, well, mesmerized.” — Booklist (starred review) When American inventor Benjamin Franklin arrives in Paris, he is upstaged by a compelling and enigmatic figure: Dr. Mesmer. In elaborately staged shows, Mesmer has Parisians believing he can control a magic force that changes the taste of water, cures illness, and controls thoughts! Can Ben Franklin’s approach of observing, hypothesizing, and testing get to the bottom of Mesmer’s tricks? A rip-roaring, lavishly illustrated peek into a fascinating moment in history shows the development of the scientific method — and reveals the amazing power of the human mind.

Serena witnesses the first time that Brodie meets Lance Royal, who is secretly rehearsing to compete in The Showdown, the biggest dance contest of the year. Immediately, Serena is drawn into their world, inspired by the love that she recognizes between them. Through her close friendship with Brodie and Lance, Serena finds comfort for the grief and guilt she feels over the brutal death of her gay older brother, the victim of a hate crime. Frustrated that her deep-in-denial parents spend endless hours in front of the television and refuse to acknowledge the death of their son, Serena accepts the challenge to have a face-to-face meeting with the boy who killed her brother. Set in the summer of 1986, this young adult novel explores the emotional aftershocks of a hate crime from the perspective of a young woman who finds renewed hope through two young men who are brave enough to love.

Love is the source of all happiness, joy, and tranquilly. As a result, if we wish to appreciate this trip known as life, we must first understand what true love is. True love is more than a kiss; it is happiness. True love from the Divine Soul comes from the time we are born as love for our parents, love for our friends, and continues until we die, just as white light flows through raindrops to produce a rainbow of seven hues. Emotional love, sensual love, and intellectual love are all examples. The dead body, on the other hand, cannot love since it is the Soul, the Spirit, who loves. Love is essential if we actually wish to live a spiritual life. “Mesmerized Love” consists of several co-authors from all over the globe who have dedicated their inked verses as a poem, quote, micro tale or a short story which revolves around the open theme. We are hoping for the great success of this book, a free anthology launched by The Little Booktique Hub Publication in which none of the co-authors are charged a single penny throughout the publishing process.

We live in a super-technological era and it's a blessing. It drives all of mankind forward into the future. But in many ways, as every coin has two sides, it's also a nuisance. Technology is making our lives easier in many ways, but we have also become quite dependent on it. It is changing the way we live, influencing the way we behave and altering the way we think. You can only imagine the implications it will have on our children. When I was a 6 year old child, the most sophisticated piece of technology used to be a black-and-white TV set in my hostel with manual knob to change the channels and adjust the brightness and volume. Unlike, nowadays, many 4 -5 year-old toddlers are able to put in a YouTube video they like on the laptop, making it full-screen and turning up the volume. And this is nothing compared to their proficiency in the smartphone arena. They can play games, take photos, show them to us and then take more. They can find their favorite songs, play them and then adjust the song progress cursor to the part of the song he especially likes. Well, he can also occasionally call someone from the contacts list and then hang up. All of this is amazing, but the thing is that smartphones are a modern pacifier. They can calm kids down and keep them quiet, but they can also be addictive.
