Vincent Di Salvo became a father when he was 14. He and his girlfriend Maya McCoy were anxious but decided to welcome their baby boy into the world and love him unconditionally, even if they were young. Vincent's parents weren't happy that he got Maya pregnant so young but were supportive throughout Maya's pregnancy and helped them learn everything they had about having a baby. -------- On the other hand, Maya's parents were so disappointed in their daughter that they kicked her out of their house, so she moved in with The Di Salvos, who welcomed her with open arms. Maya blended right in with the family and felt like she belonged, as did they. ------- Three years pass by with Nate's fourth birthday closing in, but Maya's parents show up, forcing her to move to Minnesota to live with them, or they'd take Nate from her. Maya's mother tells Vincent and his family she has to leave in a few days cause of a "family event and emergency " and that she will keep in contact with them, include them in Nate's life, and send pictures until Maya can move back to New York and raise him together as a family but.... she never did. -------- Will Vincent and his family see Nate and Maya again? Will Nathaniel and Vincent connect as father and son? Read to find out! I know the description is long, but please try this book! (This is my first-ever story, so it's probably going to be rough!

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Baum, L. Frank (Lyman Frank), 1856-1919

In 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest is a giant narwhal. The US government assembles an expedition to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist (and narrator within the story) receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition. As the expedition travels south around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, the crew finds the monster after a long search and then attack it, but the ship is damaged with the three main protagonists thrown into the water. They are quickly captured and then meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo. ~ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne and was originally published in 1870.
