To allay her fears, each time he came home he brought her silly gifts, each one with supposed magical powers: the Seal of Solomon, the Ring of Gyges, even Aladdin’s Lamp. It was that lamp that Hannah found most unbelievable, for it looked like an ugly teapot. Nevertheless, her father assured her it was real, and made her promise to save her three wishes for something very special. Then . . . six months later . . . the unthinkable happened. Her father was killed while on assignment to Baghdad. And so on the day of his funeral Hannah did something she never thought she would ever do. She took out that teapot and gave it a rub . . . The Ugly Teapot by Fred Holmes is a timeless tale, filled with magic and adventure. More importantly, it will make you believe in the overwhelming power of love.

Synopsis:
Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year - Puppy Action-Adventure Cartoon Novel
FREE Audiobook Inside!
Welcome to a very different kind of dog book.
For starters, this is not some made-up "say 'd' for 'dog'" book written for preschoolers. My dog seriously has it in for me!
At first she's all nipping and playing cute little chasing games with her puppy toy collection - then an hour later, when I try to teach her new tricks with little treats on the puppy's first Christmas, I realize there's no internet search for "naughty Yorkie puppy" that could do justice to raising, training, dealing with and trying to control this troublesome terrier!
Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year is a Bestselling, funny cartoon novel about my blonde Yorkie Chloe and all the trouble she gets herself into! This book in the series centers on how I ended up with a rambunctious little troublemaker for Christmas, after four years of begging for a puppy for my birthday and a puppy for Christmas - obsessing over "puppy images", "puppy photos", "puppies for sale" and "puppy breeds" like Malteses, Chihuahuas and Yorkies (see what I mean? Puppy everything!) - and after the puppy's first night home, her evolution from nice to naughty over the course of a few days!
What am I supposed to DO? If I had named my journal Chloe's Crazy Antics, its blurb would be:
"Chloe is a mischievous little puppy, as troublesome as she is precious. Come and see what she's been up to in these anecdotal and oddball days of trying to handle this little golden Yorkie pup!"
Yeah, right. I made that word bold for a reason.
That story actually sounds cute.
"Prissy Little Chloe is a humorous, helpful read for any youngsters who want a puppy of their own. It introduces children to the responsibilities of caring for a dog as well as the purely fun parts of dog ownership. Kids will enjoy the author's cartoon-like drawings of Chloe and the author's family, and the book even includes a chapter titled "How to Draw Chloe & Blue Bear in 5 Steps" for kids to try out their own drawing skills."
- Jim Chambers #3 Amazon Hall of Fame Top Reviewer
Be on the lookout for Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier Trouble! Chloe always wants to be the center of attention; she makes up her own rules everyday - and gets herself into problems running through the neighborhood - setting me on a (literal!) wild goose chase, every single day, without fail. She slips through the gate in the yard or runs through the door when she gets the chance and then runs across the street into peoples' backyard, homes ... or into their car.

Everyone knows how crazy junior year is, but Autumn Falls never imagined it would be so flirty. The wish-granting diary her father left her stopped working, leaving Autumn to decode what’s going on with her and Sean on her own. He seems into her . . . and he also seems into Reenzie. And when JJ steps up and tells Autumn he’s the one she should be with if she wants someone who really cares about her and a pop star makes a major play for her, Autumn is totally confused. Her friends have Big Drama issues going on too, and Autumn wants to be there for them. Then something mind-blowing happens.
