Tear for a World by Alexander Fernandez
The holy artifact bonded around Marisylia Malludar’s neck gives her incredible physical and magical powers—at a price. The bloody piece of vein is consuming Marisylia’s body inch by inch, her skeletal hands and feet only the beginning of a slow death. A cruel sorceress and her assassins are on the hunt for Marisylia to steal the artifact. Religious fanatics, volatile and unstable in their blind faith, also seek her to exploit the vein’s most dangerous purpose—liberating the erratic Creator of the World, Lysielle, from her 1,000 year incarceration. With the vein the key to Lysielle’s freedom, Marisylia must use her abilities to survive long enough to find Lysielle first. Then her most grim challenge awaits—deciding if the Creator has truly repented for attempting to destroy all life. To achieve global peace, Marisylia must discover faith in the unpredictable Lysielle or rely on her own instincts to set the world’s fate.

My Life as a 6th Grade Super Zero by Peggy Martinez

Y’know, you would think being a superhero would be cool. Well you’re right. It would be cool,  since the entire world is filled with plain old regular people. Superheroes and supervillains are  hard to find, but not as hard as some people like to think. So, you would think anything would be better than being just a normal, everyday 6th grader, right? Wrong. The only thing worse than being an average kid would be being what I am, and that is a hero with a totally useless, mega wonky, super power. I’m a dud—a zero. That’s me, Theo Perkins, a 6th grade super-freaking-zero.

“This is definitely a book that I would have no problem sharing with my kids. Your superheroes have the most creative powers!” -Lindsay Galloway, Contagious Reads.

Excerpt
My mom and dad are superheroes. Even my sister, who is in high school and has no time for her kid brother, is a superhero. Talk about a lot of pressure, right? Mom has super strength and dad has super speed. My sister, Marcy, has super hearing, which makes it really awkward if you have to go to the bathroom, if you know what I mean. And that’s where I come in. My name is Theo Perkins and I’ll be starting Juniper Springs Middle School in a few days. The trouble is, I just got my own super powers and they aren’t exactly what I had in mind. I figured, you know, with all the awesomeness floating around in my family, I was bound to get some super cool powers when the time came. Man, was I ever wrong.
I’ve heard stories about some kids getting weird, useless powers and even some kids getting powers that glitch more than they work. But I thought those were just made up to scare super kids into being good. It turns out that not only are they true, but I am one of the lucky (not!) super kids who got a mega dud for a super power. Instead of beginning my first day of middle school as a superhero, I’m beginning it as a super ZERO.

I grew up around guys and sports. Living in a fanatic sports town such as Boston, the excitement was everywhere. I remember how when there was a Red Sox rally, we would even get off work. Just one of the many perks of living in Beantown.

I love Pro and College ball. Next year, one of my nephews will be playing NCAA Baseball at Boston College, which is exciting. His Dad also played Football when he went there. Boston College is our team, and, whichever sport is in season, you’ll see our gang and friends gathered around the huge living room tv. Everyone seems to bring their appetite along with their team spirit, so we have a rowdy bunch and lots of pizza and subs.

Trust me though, the guys want to look great, and they sometimes spend more time in front of the mirror than the women. That’s why we were happy to discover that official NCAA pregame products are teaming up to take daily pregame grooming to the next level.  Now the guys can cleanse, protect, and style before the tailgating and take pride in feeling their finest.

To kick off the NCAA Walmart Axe, Dove Men+ and Degree partnership, you can score a $5 Walmart gift card when you buy $15 worth of Unilever men’s grooming products at Walmart in a single transaction. That’s a great perk. You can find all the details here.

You can also win a trip for you and a friend to a NCAA Bowl Game of your choice! Enter here

More fun!

Daisy McDare and the Deadly Legal Affair by K.M. Morgan

 

Come visit Cozy Creek, a quaint tourist town nestled along the Pacific Coast.

Daisy McDare is nursing a broken heart while valiantly trying to build up her interior decorator business. She’s baking cookies when murder strikes Cozy Creek.

At first, she leaves the investigation to Chris Crumple who’s the local bumbling police detective. However, when Crumple arrests the wrong suspect, Daisy then takes the investigation into her own hands.

Cracking the case won’t be easy. She’ll need help from her pastry-baking best friend Samantha, her wise-cracking Granny Annie, and her trusty West Highland Terrier Shamus.

It’s up to Daisy McDare to find the murderer in Cozy Creek before they strike again.
