Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. WINNER, Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award Wonder World is a look at a part of the country not often written about (Casey Plett's work and Miriam Toews' come to mind - these places do exist in literature, just not widely) and a wonderful contribution to the queer literary landscape. I'll be on the lookout for what Byggdin writes next." - Tara-Michelle Ziniuk, ROOM Magazine Twenty-seven-year-old Isaac Funk is broke, drifting, and questioning his lonely existence on the East Coast. Having left his conservative hometown of Newfield, Manitoba full of piss and vinegar, Isaac's dreams of studying music and embracing queer culture in Halifax have gradually fizzled out. When his grandfather dies and leaves him a substantial inheritance, Isaac is pulled back to the Prairies for the first time in ten years. Finding his father Abe just as enigmatic and unreachable as always and his extended family more fragmented than ever, Isaac begins to wonder if there will ever be a place for him in Newfield.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Nominated for the High Plains Book AwardA 2021 Best Books for Kids and Teens selection!On the last day of elementary school, eleven-year-old Anna finds a leather-bound book about handwriting analysis. Anna could use help deciphering people. Her best friend has started wearing mascara and plans to spend the summer with a more fashionable classmate. And her parents threaten to give away her tortoises just because she's a little forgetful about taking care of the sick one. Why does everyone expect Anna to change before middle school starts? She's going to stay exactly the same. After all, large loopy letters, like Anna's, show she's perceptive and generous. It's everyone else's sloppy writing that is so hard to understand. But a mysterious note forces Anna to make a choice between her graphology obsession and the people - and tortoises - she cares about the most. Bossy, inventive Anna is authentic and endearing. Her dilemmas and struggles-especially when her creative solutions breed new problems-are convincing, at once familiar and fresh. . .A droll, deftly executed debut. - Kirkus Reviews Anna is a relatable heroine. - CM Reviews.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Embark on a journey through the extraordinary life of Neil Armstrong-a man whose quiet determination and humble brilliance propelled humanity beyond its earthly bounds. This book lights up the story of a dreamer from small-town Ohio who transformed a childhood fascination with flight into a legacy that forever altered our view of the cosmos. From the early days of soaring over familiar skies as a U.S. Navy pilot to the rigorous, pioneering work at NASA, Armstrong's life unfolds as an inspiring saga of grit, ingenuity, and teamwork.With each chapter, you will traverse the pivotal moments that shaped a hero who, despite achieving the impossible by stepping onto the Moon, remained a model of modesty and resilience. His unyielding commitment to perfecting the art of flight and his willingness to credit the countless engineers, technicians, and visionaries behind him, highlight the beauty of collaborative success in one of history's most daring endeavors.This narrative is not just a biography; it's an invitation to witness how a single act of historic significance was built on decades of preparation, challenges, and moments of quiet courage. It captures the electrifying tension of early test flights, the stealthy determination during combat missions, and the sublime tranquility of that famous lunar landing. Beyond the celebrated Apollo 11 moment, you will explore how Armstrong's life-his teaching, advisory roles, and personal evolution-continues to inspire innovation and spark curiosity in every reader.Get ready to be captivated by a story that reminds us all that greatness emerges from perseverance, passion, and the power of shared dreams.…
