It was fine. Not a cloud flecked the sun-lit sky. A glorious blue expanse hung over a sea almost as blue, but crisscrossed in all directions by the curling white tops of tiny wavelets, all that remained to remind one of the atrocious weather which had prevailed. For theN orthS ea, Europe, Great Britain, everywhere in fact, had been treated to a succession of violent gales, to a continuous deluge of rain, to bitter hail, and squalls of snow in some parts. And here and now, off the mouth of the river Elbe the sun shone, the sky was a delight, a balmy breeze fanned the cheeks of the passengers crowding the decks of the HamburgA merika liner. What a change! I began to wonder whether there was such a season as summer.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions. Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously--and at great risk--documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/young_adult/">Young Adult</a> / <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> </div> <a href="/ruta-sepetys/40696-between_shades_of_gray_read.html" title="Read online:     Between Shades of Gray" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 373"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 373 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2011 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/theodore-taylor/43281-timothy_of_the_cay_read.html">    Timothy of the Cay</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/theodore-taylor/">Theodore Taylor </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/theodore-taylor/timothy_of_the_cay_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    Timothy of the Cay" alt="    Timothy of the Cay" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>In the novel The Cay, a young white boy and an old black man are stranded on a small sandy cay in the Caribbean Sea following a shipwreck.

They are both seventeen and in their last year of school, but while Anna lives in a nice old town house and comes from a well-to-do family, Abel, the school drug dealer, lives in a big, prisonlike tower block at the edge of town. Anna is afraid of him until she realizes that he is caring for his six-year-old sister on his own. Fascinated, Anna follows the two and listens as Abel tells little Micha the story of a tiny queen assailed by dark forces. It’s a beautiful fairy tale that Anna comes to see has a basis in reality. Abel is in real danger of losing Micha to their abusive father and to his own inability to make ends meet. Anna gradually falls in love with Abel, but when his “enemies” begin to turn up dead, she fears she has fallen for a murderer. Has she? Award-winning author Antonia Michaelis moves in a bold new direction with her latest novel: a dark, haunting, contemporary story that is part mystery, part romance, and part melodrama. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/young_adult/">Young Adult</a> / <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> / <a href="/gr/mystery_detective/">Mystery & Detective</a> / <a href="/gr/romance_love/">Romance & Love</a> / <a href="/gr/fantasy/">Fantasy</a> </div> <a href="/antonia-michaelis/45080-the_storyteller_read.html" title="Read online:     The Storyteller" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 373"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 373 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2011 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/fisher-amelie/45945-penny_in_london_read.html">    Penny in London</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/fisher-amelie/">Fisher Amelie </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/fisher-amelie/penny_in_london_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    Penny in London" alt="    Penny in London" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>You know how everyone says when one door closes another one opens? At the time, you find this statement obnoxious as all get out because a) you don’t really know what the future holds, it certainly hasn’t been a cakewalk so far, and b) the thought of change is unbearable. You feel like your life is falling apart and everyone around is feeding you clichés like they’re made out of kale or quinoa or whatever the trend health food is right now. You don’t want kale clichés, you want double-chocolate fudge realisms, and you want them now. You just want things the way they were, but then something happens, a moment, an instant that sets you out on a path toward happiness you never knew could exist, and suddenly you think, huh, I don’t think I want double-chocolate fudge anymore. I think I’m in the mood for this heaping serving of strawberry cheesecake sitting in front of me…with a side of kale. And a pair of split pants, but we won’t get into that right now.

Ember is one of them. Embers is an epic paranormal adventure/romance about a seventeen year old girl who discovers that she's immune to fire and any other injury when she’s in a horrific car crash that kills her parents. Following a violent episode with her aunt's boyfriend, Ember flees Ohio to live with an old relative in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Ember's exuberance at escaping a bad home life soon turns to trepidation when she learns that she's a Watcher, a descendant of angels. While Ember is instructed about her heritage and the powers that go along with it, she strikes up friendships with two teenagers who live in a frightening walled compound in the forest. Inexplicitly drawn to one of the young men in particular, an impossible romance develops. But it's cut short when Ember discovers that her new friends are fighting on the opposite side of a war that's been raging between two factions of Watchers for thousands of years. When the compound’s inhabitants threaten the townspeople, Ember takes action, sealing her fate in the ancient battle of good versus evil, and the grayness in between. Ember is up to the challenge, until she realizes that she isn’t only fighting for the lives of the locals and the souls of her new friends. She may be one of the few champions willing to make a stand for all of mankind as the rapture approaches and the end of days begin. Embers is the first novel in the dark and gritty YA paranormal romance series, The Wings of War. “An impending apocalypse provides a compelling backdrop for romance in this page-turning first installment of a new YA series. Hopkins expertly weaves her plotlines together in this compulsively readable teen romance story…Hopkins delivers many successful elements of young-adult romance—appealing lead characters, high-voltage chemistry, repressed sexuality—which will win her ardent followers." Kirkus Reviews “Embers is the start of an action-packed paranormal YA series. Ms. Hopkins draws the reader immediately in with her richly drawn prologue that introduces the lurking evil in a breath-taking manner. A must read for YA, paranormal, fantasy and suspense fans. Make that a delight for any reader!"
