Resumen del Editor
This is a novel for teens. It is the story of 13-year-old Charlie Edison Olson III, aka Charlie Tres`, in pre-Depression America.
Charlie takes a voyage with his father, Charles Edison Olson II, to find new raw material and markets for their factories in New York and New Jersey. They are separated for one full year. With the help of a 12-year-old Southeast Asian girl and her grandfather of the rainforest, they must survive until they are rescued. Poachers and would-be kidnappers add to their struggle.
It is a wonderful story, set in idyllic locations that promote the ideas of the unvanquished human spirit, the beauty of nature, the complicated emotions of children. As the children await rescue, such profound ideas as the true meaning of friendship, the ugliness of bullying, the importance of finding happiness, rejection of victimhood, accepting others, and more are revealed as the children grow and learn in the company of nature.
Although the story is set in the year 1928, it is as modern as today, for as the world changes and new inventions are discovered, as new baseball teams go to the World Series, some things never change. Chief among them is human nature. Human nature drives some of us to delve into our darker nature while others seek to become better. The adventures of the shipwrecked teens inspire them to the latter. The experiences of the children may inspire all children to seek to know themselves better, press to higher heights, consider the feelings and experiences of others, reject victimhood, respect nature, and know that we are all merely actors on the stage of life. Hopefully listeners will come to understand that their role is to find peace and happiness in its simplest terms, respect differences, allow others to grow, and know that they, too, are okay, even special in their own way.

Historia
On the brink of a life-changing decision, Alexis Fielding plans a trip to her mother's childhood home in Plaka, Greece hoping to unravel Sofia's hidden past. Given a letter to take to Sofia's old friend, Fotini, Alexis is promised that through Fotini, she will learn more. Arriving in Plaka, Alexis is astonished to see that it lies a stone's throw from the deserted island of Spinalonga—Greece's former leper colony. Fotini reveals the story that Sofia has buried all her life: the tale of her great-grandmother Eleni and her daughters, and a family rent by tragedy, war, and passion.

On the outskirts of a town 30 miles from Istanbul, a master well digger and his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating without luck meter by meter, the two will develop a filial bond neither has known before - not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for politically subversive activities. The pair will come to depend on each other and exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world.

Long defamed as a vicious pirate, Captain James Cook (a.k.a Hook) was in fact a dazzling wordsmith who left behind a vibrant, wildly entertaining, and entirely truthful memoir. His chronicle offers a counter narrative to the works of J.M. Barrie, a "dour Scotsman" whose spurious accounts got it all wrong. Now, award-winning playwright John Pielmeier is proud to present this crucial historic artifact in its entirety for the first time.

What is your mother tongue? Sometimes the simplest questions take a book to answer. Such is the case with Tania Romanov's story of exile, emigration, and immigration and how native language can be a powerful touchstone for the sense of home. The unrelenting consequences of 100 years of Balkan wars force three generations of Croatian women to flee their homelands multiple times. Eventually, Tania, a successfully integrated American immigrant from Eastern Europe, journeys back to her fractured homeland with her mother to unravel the secrets of their shared past.

Halima Bashir was born into the Zaghawa tribe, whose customs have remained unchanged for centuries, in the remote western deserts of Sudan in the region of South Darfur. Halima's father named his daughter after the traditional medicine woman of the village, and she grew up in a happy and close-knit childhood environment. Her father became a wealthy man by his tribe's standards, so he could afford to send Halima to school and university. Halima went on to study medicine, and at 24 she returned to her tribe and began practicing as their first ever qualified doctor.
