Book excerpt: The Plot to Cancel Christmas will make you laugh and make you angry. It could happen. Greed, ambition, and the misuse of taxpayer money are nothing new. This book depicts the classic struggle between might and right; and between raw power and thoughtful evaluation. For some, the will of the people doesn't matter since "people don't count" as one major character says in the book. The Plot to Cancel Christmas is about character, and the conflicting emotions and forces that permeate human life- greed, fear, love, tradition, duty, and conscience. One reviewer stated, ..".a timeless tale that speaks volumes to all of us...a modern Christmas Carol." "A book that gives you pause- Could this really happen?" ..".the characters literally dance from the page." ..".a punch in the heart and a hug at the same time." ..".a gift that will put your life in perspective." "A Classic Battle between might & right! Superb!"

Book excerpt: The Astounding Broccoli Boy is the hilarious tale of an unlikely (and very green) hero believing in himself and finding adventure. Rory Rooney likes to be prepared for all eventualities. His favourite book is Don't Be Scared, Be Prepared, and he has memorized every page of it. He could even survive a hippo attack. He knows that just because something is unlikely doesn't mean it won't ever happen . . . But Rory isn't prepared when he suddenly and inexplicably turns green. Stuck in an isolation ward in a hospital far from home with two other remarkably green children, Rory's as confused by his new condition as the medics seem to be. What if turning green actually means you've turned into a superhero? Rory can't wait to make it past hospital security and discover exactly what his superpower might be . . . This edition of Frank Cottrell Boyce's funny adventure features fantastic cover artwork and black and white inside illustrations from the incredible Steven Lenton.

Book Synopsis Jake and Josh in Canceling Christmas by : Joseph Gray

Download or read book Jake and Josh in Canceling Christmas written by Joseph Gray. This book was released on 2019-06-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jake and Josh are twin baby brothers who are about to experience their first Christmas. However, their parents are worked up into a frenzy preparing for the holiday, and Josh blames himself. Josh has hydrocephalus, a condition that causes fluid to build up in the brain, and his care adds to his parents’ busy schedule. He wants to ease that burden, but how? Jake wants to help his brother feel better, so he comes up with a plan—cancel Christmas! The boys set out to remove what they think makes the holiday special but quickly learn that it’s not so easy to cancel the holiday. During their adventure, Josh meets a woman who understands his baby language, and she teaches him a lesson about the challenges every child faces while Jake hears the nativity story and learns the true meaning of the holiday. The story is fun for older children to read alone or for the entire family to enjoy together. “Jake and Josh in Canceling Christmas is an endearing story focusing on real-life struggles of children and adults alike who are contending with hydrocephalus. The characters Jake and Josh are intimately brought to life in their dilemma to ease the burden of Christmas for their family. Joseph Gray does a wonderful job depicting their situation. A must-read story” (Lindy L. Harley, author of the children’s books Magic Monster Drink, Vince and Leopold, and Jace and the Flickering Flubber Wishes Flu: The Harley Kids’ Adventures Continue . . . ).

Book Synopsis Stephen Joseph: Theatre Pioneer and Provocateur by : Paul Elsam

Download or read book Stephen Joseph: Theatre Pioneer and Provocateur written by Paul Elsam. This book was released on 2013-12-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1967 obituary in The Times labelled Stephen Joseph 'the most successful missionary to work in the English theatre since the second world war'. This radical man brought theatre-in-the-round to Britain, provoked Ayckbourn, Pinter and verbatim theatre creator Peter Cheeseman to write and direct, and democratised theatregoing. This monograph investigates his forgotten legacy. This monograph draws on largely unsorted archival material (including letters from Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Peggy Ramsay and others), and on new interviews with figures including Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Trevor Griffiths and Sir Ben Kingsley, to demonstrate how the impact on theatre in Britain of manager, director and 'missionary' Stephen Joseph has been far greater than is currently acknowledged within traditional theatre history narratives. The text provides a detailed assessment of Joseph's work and ideas during his lifetime, and summarises his broadly-unrecognised posthumous legacy within contemporary theatre. Throughout the book Paul Elsam identifies Joseph's work and ideas, and illustrates and analyses how others have responded to them. Key incidents and events during Joseph's career are interrogated, and case studies that highlight Joseph's influence and working methods are provided.
