In school, we were supposed to write a story based on one of Harris Burdick's pictures and the sentences that go with them. I chose, "Missing In Venice," which is the picture of the cover. The line is, "Even with her mighty engines in reverse, the ocean liner was pulled further and further into the canal." I didn't use this exact line, but the idea was the same.
Many years ago, a children's book editor named Peter Wendler met a man named Harris Burdick, who gave him 14 pictures with intriguing captions. Burdick promised to return with the stories behind those illustrations and captions. But the next day, no one came. And for more than 30 years, writers and readers puzzled over this mystery.

My Family's Past
Latitude: 40 degrees 6.80'n Longitude: 172 degrees 23.84'w Location: Pacific Ocean "This is agent Leland Turbo, I have a flash transmission for Finn McMissle. Finn my cover has been compromised. Everything's gone pear shaped. You won't believe what I found out here. This is bigger than anything we've ever seen, and no one knows it exist. Finn, I need backup, but don't call the cavalry, it could blow the operation. And be careful. It's not safe out here." "Let's go!" "Transmitting me grids now. Good luck." [If you don't like Cars 2 then don't read this book, I don't need constructive criticism. I made the books for fun, not for it to be judged. The only thing I want to know from you, is how much you love it, and not how much you hate it. Thank you. Creating the second movie with humans will be a difficult challenge but this is connected with the first book, instead of McQueen and the reader getting closer like in the first one, this story is about the reader's relationship with her father. I'm not telling you who he is, you'll have to figure out that yourself until the chapter comes out. Which I hope won't be long. I've been taking notes on the key details in the movies that are helpful and have done research on things that might have the movie if they were humans, the words in the story maybe different but it's still the same thing. Both Lightning McQueen and the reader are now 23 and 22 years old. The movie takes four years later after the first movie.Concluida
India Rose & The Eternals - The Fountain Of Youth Chronicles Vol. 1
For fans of the Harry Potter universe, LOST and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: What if that really was the Mona Lisa that India Rose saw walking around her small, Maine town? What if her father's innocent bedtime stories of hidden mysteries below the river and secret identities of ordinary citizens were more than mere fairy tales? Why did her essay on her town's history make a few select town officials so angry? And why was young Finn and his master (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci) sent across the sea to the new world on a mission to protect "the secret" that his order has been charged to guard? Told over the course of almost one hundred years and multiple continents, India Rose and the Eternals tells the parallel stories, told in concurrent chapters, of twelve-year-old India Rose and two-hundred-and twelve-year-old Finnegan Rufus Magondolovich (don't ask him about his middle or last names) who are both struggling to understand the upheaval in their own little worlds. Add to this the sinister Man In The Brown Hat and his shadowy organization, who are chasing Finn and his master across the globe, an oil spill that threatens India's coastal town, a stern Head Librarian who seems to have it in for India, and India Rose and the Eternals packs enough adventure and hairpin turns to keep readers turning pages. With strong themes of using your gifts and abilities for the good of others and the rise, use and abuse of technology, India Rose and the Eternals is the opening salvo in the expansive Water Chronicles universe, a series that takes contemporary notions of history and re-examines them.Concluida

Masked ✔
* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me.

He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong.

Stealth Journeys with the Steam Mapper
A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." "The Immense Journey" by Loren Eiseley "No other place, always this Your earthly landfall, and no ship exists To take you from yourself." By Lawrence DurrellConcluida
