Joan is a lot of things, a pie-maker, a veterinarian's assistant, and an orphan, but she never expected to find out she was a wizard too.But when the eccentric headmaster casts a spell to find the mythical dragon tamer, she'll find herself with an all-expenses-paid scholarship to the worlds greatest magic academy and not only that, she has a white wolf for a familiar. There's just one catch. She's caught the eye of the devilishly handsome and heartlessly cruel headmaster's son, which, okay, isn't that bad, assuming, of course, her pies can melt his frozen heart before he throws her to the ogre who lives beneath the school.

Joan left a big impression in her first days at the elite Bouclier Academy. Her magical cooking warmed hearts and turned heads, and even starting to thaw the icy heart of Theo, the irresistible headmaster's son, but her trials and tests have only begun.After all, there are lost souls who need reuniting, the school's Arcane Combat team needs help to win the big match, and a dragon needs taming. It's up to Joan to live up to her destiny and save the day and the school's future.There's just one problem. Theo's obsessive ex, the vilest witch in the school, isn't happy with Joan. She's out for blood, and it might take more than a home-baked pie to stop her.

After all her success, Joan is poised to change all of the elite Bouclier Academy for the better. With Theo, the headmaster's son, in her heart and her white wolf by her side, her magical future looks bright.Or it would be if not for an assault by abyssal monsters alongside the sudden replacement of the kindly Dean of Students with a sugary sweet manipulator who has her hooks in the kindly old headmaster. And for whatever reason, Joan is in all their sights. With demonic creatures after her and the new dean making her academic life a living hell, things don't look good for Joan and Bouclier.So it's time for Joan to gather her witchy friends, cook up her most magical foods, and raise her familiar to his highest power to save her school (and her life) once and for all!

When I woke up this morning, I never expected Loki, yes that Loki, the God of Mischief to throw me over his shoulder and carry me back to Asgard to be his... well... You know...And that's not the worst of it. Now, I'm surrounded by other Norse gods and every single one of them wants a piece of me.And the craziest thing?The absolute most insane thing?I think I might be falling for them.Yes, Them... pluralThen again, this is probably why my shrink says I'm crazy, but jokes on him.Asgard is real

So, funny story, it turns out that Greek gods are real. And my deadbeat dad? He's one of them.Now, I'm at the demigod academy, and they keep going on about me being the chosen one, which would be great if my classes weren't trying to kill me.On the plus side, have you seen the guys? Cause those statues that they carved a billion years ago have nothing on their chiseled abs.

The Supreme Court&BAD:rsquo;s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. Yet while the medical procedure is legal&BAD:mdash;and safe&BAD:mdash;many women across the country do not have the ability to exercise this reproductive right. Melody Rose examines abortion as a social regulatory policy, thoughtfully and thoroughly chronicling the erosion of abortion rights and availability since Roe. Paying respect to all views of this controversial topic in her engaging new book, Rose explores the success of the right-to-life movement in accumulating local and national policies that restrict access to abortion while enhancing fetal protections. In addition to a basic and brief primer on the practice and history of abortion, Rose considers the roles played by the courts, political parties, and interest groups in constructing barriers to abortion. With an examination of public opinion poll data and a look at both state and national statutory prohibitions on abortion, Rose also shows how powerful language wars have resulted in material policy alterations. Chapter-opening vignettes and vivid storytelling make this brief and topical supplement a good read that is sure to get your students thinking critically about this highly charged topic. As well, the author has augmented chapters with further reading suggestions and provocative discussion questions that invite insightful discussion and analysis.
