A girl’s imagination transports polio-afflicted kids into a fantastic world. The spring of 1955 tests Laurie Valentine’s gifts as a storyteller. After her friend Dickie contracts polio and finds himself confined to an iron lung, Laurie visits him in the hospital. There she meets Carolyn and Chip, two other kids trapped inside the breathing machines. Laurie’s first impulse is to flee, but Dickie begs her to tell them a story. And so Laurie begins her tale of Collosso, a rampaging giant, and Jimmy, a tiny boy whose destiny is to become a slayer of giants. As Laurie embellishes her tale with gnomes, unicorns, gryphons, and other fanciful creatures, Dickie comes to believe that he is a character in her story. Little by little Carolyn, Chip, and other kids who come to listen, recognize counterparts as well. Laurie’s tale is so powerful that when she’s prevented from continuing it, Dickie, Carolyn, and Chip take turns as narrators. Each helps bring the story of Collosso and Jimmy to an end—changing the lives of those in the polio ward in startling ways.

"I would rather that you should discover that for yourself," said Mrs. Roby. "If the kernel of an allegory be good, it is worth the trouble of cracking the shell" "Oh! but I hate all trouble," cried Adolphus, "above all, the trouble of thinking!" "Take care, take care," laughed little Laura, "or we shall suspect that you have been caught by Giant Sloth." CHAPTER IV. GIANT SELFISHNESS. "Do you know, mamma," said Laura the next day, as she and her sister sat alone with their mother, the boys being at lessons in the study, "do you know that I did not feel inclined to get up when I was called, but the clock began to strike, which put Giant Sloth into my head, and up I jumped in a minute!" "I am glad that you made such practical use of my little tale," replied Mrs. Roby with a smile. "But mamma, --if I might say something," began Bertha, then hesitated and paused "Say anything that you please, my dear." "I almost wondered at your beginning with only Giant Sloth; that seems such a little fault compared with the great ones of the Probyns. Constantine did not seem hit at all, for he is active enough in mischief" "I repeat that I hit no one," replied her mother. "Oh !--but--you know what I mean, mamma; I should have liked something very-- very--" Bertha's face had a puzzled look, for she knew not how to express her meaning, "I should have liked some story that would have made them know themselves, and hate thenfaults as every one else must hate them! I would have had a horrible Giant Selfishness!" she added, her manner becoming more excited as she spoke. "You look upon selfishness then as their grand enemy!" "Oh! mamma can anything be plainer--...

Lessons from David Book PDF/Epub Download

Probably one of the most well- known characters in the Bible is David. He grew up a shepherd boy and defeated a giant named Goliath and then went on to be King of Israel. While king, David made some serious mistakes. However, David didn't try to place the blame on other people. He took responsibility and shouldered the blame himself. By doing this, he was described by God as a "man after His own heart." In this book, you will learn that God has a good plan for every individual. But sometimes you can thwart that plan by your own desire to fulfill certain desires and dreams but God's grace can bring you back to the plan that God has for you. Even though David made some mistakes and even cost people their lives, he repented and was able to turn the direction of those mistakes to want to serve the Lord. God's grace is evident through the entire life of David. Rather than having to go through your own hard knocks, the author encourages the reader to learn from these life lessons from David

Killing Giants Book PDF/Epub Download

Everyone thought Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry were crazy to start Method, a new cleaning products company. The category had long been dominated by P&G, Unilever, and Colgate-Palmolive. Those giants had so much clout with the retail chains that their soaps had barely needed updating for decades. But by taking advantage of its underdog position, Method carved out a very profitable niche: environmentally sound products in stylish, innovative packaging. Despite having a far smaller marketing budget than their competitors, Method connected with a substantial minority of people who wanted to "buy green" but who also wanted high-quality products. Marketing expert Stephen Denny argues that, like Method, any brand can directly challenge the giant of its category and not only survive, but thrive. While it's inconvenient to be the little guy, it can also be a blessing in disguise. Giant- killers can afford to shake things up and take bold steps. They can be faster and nimbler than giants who are too slow and hidebound to make the painful but necessary changes to stay competitive. By the time they notice that slingshot, they're already keeling over. During his two decades in the trenches, Denny has taken on quite a few giants. And he has interviewed more than seventy other giant-killers across industries- from software to cosmetics to aviation-for their most powerful techniques. Our need to work smarter, with fewer resources, isn't dependent on the state of the economy or on any sense of stability you think you have in your industry. Denny's ten powerful strategies will help you overcome stale business thinking and bureaucracy. They include: ?Win in the last three feet. Leverage someone else's investment-just be there the moment the customer grabs their wallet. ?Create "thin ice" arguments. Shift the conversation to places where the competition can't-or won't-go. ?Fight unfairly. Learn how the underdog can turn the tables. From the hypercompetitive world of social media to high-stakes business-to- business sales to the trenches of retail, Killing Giants is The Art of War for a new era. It proves that size does matter-the size of the fight in the dog.

Giant Killer and the Golden Amazons of Venus Book PDF/Epub Download

Armchair Fiction presents fully-illustrated, extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is "Giant Killer" by well known science fiction author Dwight V. Swain. Somehow humans were growing in size--to a point where death was inevitable. Storm had to find out why--and stay alive to tell about it. His determination lead him to a no-nonsense general who seemed to have all the answers--General Dylan Wassek. Wassek was an interplanetary defense bigwig, and he had a good idea as to the "who" and "why" behind the sudden, unexplainable spurt of human growth everywhere. So with Wassek's help, Storm found himself on a dangerous mission to the planet Cereberus to gather the information needed in the fight to save mankind. But the one thing Storm hadn't planned on was his meeting Krylla Loy--a pretty Martian blonde who gave him more challenges then he ever thought possible. Falling for her beauty and charms was not in the cards; and keeping them both alive was now his mission... This double novel's second tale is "Golden Amazons of Venus" written by sci-fi veteran, John Murray Reynolds. A cold death in the wilds of outer space--that was what Space Ship Commander Gerry Norton was faced with. Norton, a member of the Interplanetary Service, had been tabbed to fly his ship, The Viking, to the cloud-enshrouded planet, Venus. But he was confronted with one major problem: No Earth spaceship had ever successfully landed there. In fact, the solitary prior attempt had ended in total disaster when the journeying Earth vessel--along with her crew--had simply vanished somewhere in the depths of space. But as fate would have it, Norton and his crew soon found themselves alive and well on the mist-covered planet. But for how long? Venus was populated with intelligent life forms--and not all of them friendly. Eventually Gerry Norton was faced with something far worse than anything the coldness of space could hurl at him: Dakta Death, and it was horrible beyond the weirdest fever-dreams of any Earthmen...

Legend Book PDF/Epub Download

The true story of the U.S. Army's 240th Assault Helicopter Company and a Green Beret Staff Sergeant's heroic mission to rescue a Special Forces team trapped behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War, from New York Times bestselling author Eric Blehm. On May 2, 1968, a twelve-man Special Forces team covertly infiltrated a small clearing in the jungles of neutral Cambodia--where U.S. forces were forbidden to operate. Their objective, just miles over the Vietnam border, was to collect evidence that proved the North Vietnamese Army was using the Cambodian sanctuary as a major conduit for supplying troops and materiel to the south via the Ho Chi Minh Trail. What the team didn't know was that they had infiltrated a section of jungle that concealed a major enemy base. Soon they found themselves surrounded by hundreds of NVA, under attack, low on ammunition, stacking the bodies of the dead as cover in a desperate attempt to survive the onslaught. When Special Forces Staff Sergeant Roy Benavidez heard their distress call, he jumped aboard the next helicopter bound for the combat zone. What followed would become legend in the Special Operations community. Flown into the foray of battle by the 240th Assault Helicopter Company, Benavidez jumped from the hovering aircraft, ran nearly 100 yards through withering enemy fire, and--despite being immediately and severely wounded--organized an extraordinary defense and rescue of the Special Forces team. Written with extensive access to family members, surviving members of the 240th Assault Helicopter Company, on-the-ground eye-witness accounts never before published, as well as recently discovered archival, and declassified military records, Blehm has created a riveting narrative both of Roy Benavidez's life and career, and of the inspiring, almost unbelievable events that defined the brotherhood of the air and ground warriors in an unpopular war halfway around the world. Legend recounts the courage and commitment of those who fought in Vietnam in service of their country, and the story of one of the many unsung heroes of the war.
