Time to hit the road: the minivan is packed, the cooler is chock full, and the lake beckons. Summer is the perfect setting for sharing short stories at the cottage, around the campfire, in the tent, or on the long ride to camp.  The Death Swing at Falcon Lake has a story for every occasion. There are epic tales of neighbourhood battles over the best fort, harrowing myths of the bravery it takes to walk to the outhouse in the dark, embarrassing recounts of first love at summer camp, and maybe even a legend about the monster watching you from the shadows while you read this very book.  Raconteur Jeremy John delivers another hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally scary collection of short stories ideal for summer reading.  Praise for Jeremy John: Jeremy John is a master of putting himself into the mindset of a kid and capturing the magic and mystery of a good scary tale. [The Strange Grave of Mikey Dunbar] collection of short stories is easy to read and best read in the dark with a flashlight. Pay Chen, TV & radio host  A fun read for all ages. And a little off the hinge in all the right places.

The place is Dawson City, Yukon. A man staggers out of the dusk to collapse at the feet of a startled Fiona MacGillivray, shattering the peaceful calm of a warm July night. Before breathing his last, he gasps two words: "MacGillivray, Culloden." Fiona doesn't know the man and she would prefer not to find out why he linked her name with the "bloodiest of all battles." As international intrigue abounds and handsome Corporal Richard Sterling of the NWMP searches for the murderer, Fiona's son Angus takes a job as a photographer's assistant, a new dancer almost causes a riot, and Fiona tells herself she is not at all bothered by the amount of attention Richard Sterling is paying to the pretty and charming photographer, Miss Eleanor Jennings.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C256869</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C256869</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Delany, Vicki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/256869125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459707740/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Masters of the Air]]></title><description><![CDATA[A fascinating look at three of the greatest Canadian pilots in the First World War. Alan McLeod, from Stonewall, Manitoba; Andrew McKeever, from Listowel, Ontario; and Donald MacLaren, originally from Calgary, Alberta, were daring and talented pilots. Although decidedly different from each other - in personality, in the planes they flew, and in their contributions to the war effort - they shared a strong sense of duty and a passion for flying, performing remarkable deeds in primitive planes, when aviation was in its infancy. One hundred years after they flew and fought for king and country, Masters of the Air brings these three men to life, detailing their development as pilots, battles in the air, and near-death experiences Like thousands of others, these three men answered the call to fight for the British Empire. And in the skies of Europe, they achieved greatness.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C924448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C924448</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gunn, Roger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/924448125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459745506/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solomon's Ring]]></title><description><![CDATA["Twin sisters Jade and Jasmine are finally together after a five-year separation, but there's no time to enjoy the reunion. As Seers, the sisters are being hunted by demons spilling through the rift, and the city is on high alert against terrorist threats. The Protectors at Beaconsfield have gathered as many Seers as possible, and those countries that haven't been destroyed by climate change are starting to close their borders. On top of it all, Jasmine discovers that someone has stolen a ring with the ability to control the demons, and that the final battle between the Daughters of Light and the forces of darkness is approaching more quickly than anyone predicted.

A popular rockabilly singer has vanished in the snowbound Hazeltons of northern B.C. Lead RCMP investigator David Leith and his team work through the possibilities: has she been snatched by the so-called Pickup Killer, or does the answer lie here in the community, somewhere among her reticent fans and friends? Leith has much to contend with: rough terrain and punishing weather, motel-living and wily witnesses. The local police force is tiny but headstrong, and one young constable seems more hindrance than help - until he wanders straight into the heart of the matter. The urgency ramps up as one missing woman becomes two, the second barely a ghost passing through. Suspects multiply, but only at the bitter end does Leith discover who is the coldest girl of all. Watch for Book #2 of the B.C. Blues Crime series, Undertow, coming in March 2017!]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C932299</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C932299</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greenaway, R.M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/932299125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459734395/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Algonquin Spring]]></title><description><![CDATA[Years after a devastating battle, Mahingan and his tribe struggle to recover a lost loved one. Six years earlier in the fourteenth century, Mahingan and his tribe fought the Battle of the Falls against the Haudenosaunee. There were many losses, and Mahingan thought he had lost his wife, Wàbananang (Morning Star). But after the battle, he learned she was still alive, taken captive by the Haudenosaunee. Now on a desperate quest to rescue her, Mahingan and his small family are wintering north of the Ottawa River near present-day Lachute, Quebec. If they are to have any hope of recovering Wàbananang, though, they must first survive until spring. At the same time, over 2,000 kilometres away in present-day Newfoundland, events taking place will affect four Native tribes: Mahingan’s, a group of Mi’kmaq, a Beothuk group, and a band of Haudenosaunee warriors led by Mahingan’s old nemesis, Ò:nenhste Erhar (Corn Dog) — a fierce Mohawk War Chief and Wàbananang’s captor. Along the way, Mahingan’s brother, Mitigomij, will reveal his true self and powers. Then, an influential Mi’kmaq legend puts a new, powerful twist on events, and threatens to send things spiraling out of Mahingan’s control.--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C317453</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C317453</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Revelle, Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/317453125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459730632/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lives of Kings]]></title><description><![CDATA[After discovering she led a past life full of magic in Britannia thousands of years ago, Gwen must race against time to stop an ancient enemy who threatens to tear the world apart. Gwen may have won the battle to save her own magic, but she is still reeling from memories of her past life and dangers to her present one. Alone without the one she trusted most, she gathers her friends to search for others like her-- those who can destroy the force threatening the world once and for all. But victory can only come at a terrible cost, and the lure of powerful magic may be too much to resist, even for those sworn to protect the world.

Gwen needs to find a way to defeat her past enemies without falling into any one of their many traps-- or else surrender to her past life's magic and lose herself forever.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C280389</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C280389</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leiderman, Lucy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/280389125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459723559/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guidebook to the Historic Sites of the War of 1812]]></title><description><![CDATA[There have been guidebooks to military sites before, but no other book has covered the War of 1812 in its entirety. This well-illustrated updated edition covers more than 400 historic sites of the War of 1812, both well-known and obscure, in both Canada and the United States. The author has used old pen and ink drawings from the last century to give a "then and now" feel to the book. Curious to know what is at the site of the Battle of Queenston Heights? Besides giving readers a detailed history of the events that occurred at the sites, the author describes what they have to offer visitors today, be it a historical plaque, historic house, or major interpretive centre. This book is a handy tool for both travellers and historians. It remains the only book on the market offering a comprehensive guide to nearly all of the sites in our last war with the United States.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C925699</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C925699</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Collins, Gilbert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/925699125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459712430/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
