The continent has been divided in two for nearly a century; one side a snow covered world of magic, rules, and dictatorship, the other a warm, adventure filled place of wonder. This is at least how Ezivan Lentaris, the daughter of the dictating sorcerer, sees it. In search of adventure she runs from her father to the other side of the continent, taking up a new identity, making new friends, and indeed, finding more adventure that many would see in a lifetime. However, breaking away from her father's tight grip and the control of her past is a little harder then she may have originally suspected.

American history comes alive in these 100 true stories that define our country. This magnificent treasury tells the story of America through 100 true tales. Some are tales of triumph-the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the Wright brothers taking to the air, Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon. Some are tales of tragedy-the fate of the Donner Party, the great fire in Chicago, the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. There are stories of inventors and athletes and abolitionists and artists. Stories about struggling for freedom-again and again, in so many ways. With full-color illustrations on nearly every page and short, exciting stories, this book is perfect for browsing by the entire family. Notes at the end of each story direct readers to related stories. And a guide to thematic story arcs offers readers (and teachers) an easy way to follow their particular interests throughout the book. A treasure trove of a book that belongs in every home! "This lively and engaging collection of stories recounting American history is a wonderful gift not only to the children of this country but also their parents. I can't wait to share it with my grandchildren." -Tom Brokaw

We don't just want to live a long time. We want to live young! We want to enjoy life, be active, look good, travel, make love and socialize.

Since you are reading this book, I suspect you are one of the former.Not only have the guidelines to healthy living presented in this book been shown effective, but having practiced this myself virtually my whole life, I have had direct personal experience watching what happened to my friends and family according to the choices they made…Do you want a shorter life burdened with disease and fatigue? Or do you want a life of vitality and adventure? The choice is yours. -Joseph Pizzorno, ND, author of the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (2,000,000 copies in six languages), the internationally acclaimed Textbook of Natural Medicine, The Toxin Solution.

Like Tom, the hyena could be seen, soon lapping up the traces of the morning's spoils, ingesting the sweet carrion through its lulling glands, along the track it follows. Tom absorbed the air of the explorers -- Sucked it down, ingested it. Until he was but a fractured remnant of the Western world -- Still part Africa, not yet civil, holy. He had no real home, not any more, yet he followed a dream, that will of an apparition; dream of a man with a raised and pointed spear. "That other life is not for you , Tom. " "Here you might breathe. . . ." the warm alcohol releases fears and dreams. " . . .If you must breathe at all" . . .
