School and My Bully Experience by Frank Joseph Minichetti

About School and My Bully Experience by Frank Joseph Minichetti:

Have You Or Someone You Know Ever Been Bullied?

If “YES”, School and My Bully Experience, A New Anti-Bullying Book, is the perfect read for anyone in need of guidance.

“School and My Bully Experience”, a new book about combating bullying by author Frank Joseph Minichetti, blends delightful stories with helpful tips for middle schoolers and young adults who may feel like they are alone or afraid and are in need of help.

Join Joseph Minnow as he travels back in time to the year 1965, to his early years in school and his various encounters with bullies. Most of Joseph’s memories are happy ones; however, bullies have inflicted their damage and left some rather bad memories, too.

Thirteen-year old Joseph is good-natured, extremely timid and very trusting of everyone. Given these personality traits, Joseph soon discovers he is the perfect target for bullies, like the mean-spirited Butch Barotti, his first bully encounter. Joseph feels like he has a sign on his back, “Please Bully Me.” However, being bullied is not Joseph’s only concern, he also has to deal with his 8th grade teacher, the dreaded Sister Superior, who rules her class with an iron first. Despite her diminutive stature (four foot, five inches tall), Sister is terrifying. Wearing a black habit, her eyes are dark black, like the eyes you see on some stuffed animals, and her voice is a high-pitched shrill comparable to the mythological monster “the Banshee.” The students called her “TNT.” (For the unfamiliar, TNT is a highly explosive substance). School and My Bully Experience contain stories detailing the numerous antics of Sister Superior and other teachers that have a major impact on Joseph and his classmates.

After graduating from 8th grade, Joseph encounters new challenges in high school. In fact, the young man must deal with a whole new wave of bullies. He is presented with the opportunity to face his fears and overcome his shy and timid personality by standing up to and fighting his nemesis, the bully Xavier Steele (alias, Xman). This is Joseph’s first fight, which has a surprise ending that leaves his friends and classmates shaking their heads in disbelief. He experiences other firsts as well, his first dance, first class trip, first job, first boy/girl party, and more importantly to a young boy his first girlfriend and first kiss. Unfortunately, Joseph realizes that bullies will inevitably have a negative impact on most of his firsts.

School and My Bully Experience tells the story of Joseph Minnow as he goes through adolescence into young adulthood. Eventually, the story morphs into the present time when Joseph becomes a father and works as a substitute teacher. As an adult, Joseph realizes that bullying has reached epidemic proportions and discovers that his daughter Emma has also become a victim. Moreover, he is dismayed when he witnesses the latest form of bullying –“Cyberbullying.” Now anyone can become a bully. The Internet can empower people and encourage cruel, thoughtless behavior, like the “Cyber Girls”, a group of teens that ban together to bully others.

Although bullying is a serious subject, School and My Bully Experience contains funny and moving stories, while highlighting the quirky characteristics and unique personalities of people who played pivotal roles in Joseph’s journey. Finally, School and My Bully Experience addresses such topics as “Why People Bully” and “What To Do If You Become a Victim.” It is this combination that young readers will find both entertaining and informative, which makes School and My Bully Experience unique amongst books written on this subject.

“School and My Bully Experience” is a chapter book written for ages 9-13, and for the young at heart who want to help themselves or someone they know rise above the personal struggle of being bullied.

Life gives you surprises, as the song says. It applies in these twenty stories about human relations. The reader will be able to verify it throughout the stories, some of which mutate in unexpected situations. From very realistic stories to oneiric events, they are all connected by the leitmotif of this book.

• A typical everyday situation that seems endless.
• The time we do not want to give ourselves and its consequences.
• An extreme turn showing disconnection during the exchange of physical words.
• Here the page shows us a very short story; you have to read it like a child.
• A police story based on what we do not speak, with words of caliber.
• Really, a script for the protagonist.
• A story with a tremendous turn in it.
• Brief tribute to my doubly stubborn dog. You will see why.
• A mixture of reality with poetic turns, or at least that was the author’s intention.
• A sad story that we will not understand when we finish reading it but at the end. The meaning of this phrase will become clear to us with its history.
• Who did not shake with two big eyes, in this case is not what it seems either.
• Finally a husband who comes out with a typical excuse and shows us an oneiric reality, leaving us a disturbing sense of reality.

Hakon Haraldsson took their father’s throne. Now the sons of Erik Bloodaxe have come to get it back.

It is 954 A.D. and a tempest is brewing in the North.

Now the sons of Erik have come to reclaim Erik’s realm and avenge the wrong done to their father and their kin.

Traveler of Truth (Sojourner Truth) America’s First Superhero by Gee Monte

About Traveler of Truth (Sojourner Truth) America’s First Superhero by Gee Monte:

A slave woman escapes with her infant daughter in the dead of winter then returns to the town she had escaped from to legally outwit her former master, winning freedom for her abused son. She then went on to fight for women’s rights and laid the groundwork for allowing women to vote. All the while, risking her life to help other slaves and abolish slavery. Amazingly, she wasn’t able to read or write but met with three presidents, hundreds of politicians, gave speeches to crowds all over the country, found jobs for freed slaves. She spoke in front of congress. Challenged the first desegregation laws and helped shape the future of America becoming a national hero during the Civil War.

America’s First Real Superhero nobody hears about,
The Traveler of Truth (Sojourner Truth).

This is not the normal boring documentary about Sojourner Truth. This is real. Her personal story. Why she escaped. The people she met. The problems she had to overcome. How she became so intertwined into American History and why the nation loved her.

Quotes from my editor,
“Gee. You slayed me. I am a better woman having read this. Thank You.”
“…You did such a tribute to her, bringing her to life and showing just how vibrant, honest and good this woman was. She is a yardstick to be measured by…. I am still crying.”

The After Days

About The After Days:

A riveting novel about two suburban couples who must find within themselves the strength and ingenuity to endure a world suddenly without electricity, a world growing more chaotic and dangerous with each passing day.

“This is far and away the most compelling read I’ve experienced in a long time. No lie. This is seriously good. It’s fresh, entertaining, and thought provoking.” –Kathryn Johnson

In a world without power, you need the power of friendship and love to survive.

Middle-aged suburbanites Rachel and Zach team with their friends to battle not only the predators and scavengers who lurk around every corner of an upscale Maryland suburb but also empty pantries, boredom, despair … and who ate the last protein bar. How far are they willing to go to survive the Big Blackout?

Perfect for book clubs, The After Days is a gripping contemporary dystopian story that is both terrifyingly real and astonishingly tender. The After Days explores the ethical quandaries and logistical problems of ordinary suburbanites – people whose most recent problems were dodgy Wi-Fi and cranky bosses – in their struggle to survive in extraordinary circumstances.

RV There Yet?: The True Story of a Motoring Nightmare by Travis Casey

About RV There Yet?: The True Story of a Motoring Nightmare by Travis Casey:

It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. —Mark TwainAfter selling their Minnesota home, Travis and Wendy plan an elaborate departure from the United States before repatriating themselves to the UK. Buying a second-hand RV, visiting states unknown, and selling the campervan after reaching Florida seems like the perfect exit. So they pack their lives and blind Shih Tzu into a once-luxurious thirty-one-foot RV and hit the open road.As they roll through the Midwest, heading for the Deep South, they soon discover “RV” doesn’t mean “Reliable Vehicle.” Historical sites give way to repair shops and the excitement of the once-in-a-lifetime trip quickly turns into apprehension of what’s around the next corner. With the wheels literally coming off the wagon, bogus repairs, temperatures rising inside the RV and under the hood, sleeping in junkyards, and being laughed at by the Mississippi police, the once-happy couple just want the nightmare to end so they can return to England. But the Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles has the final say as to when they can leave.Of course it’s a true story. You couldn’t make it up.
