McFarland is a delightfully illustrated romp for young readers, woven together with legend, conspiracy theory, loveable monsters, colorful characters, and unforgettable character naming conventions such as Wesley Interruptus Buttinski. McFarland has the whimsical storytelling of Roald Dahl. A terrific book to read aloud with the kids." Kevin M. Folliard, author of Grayson North, Frost-Keeper of the Windy City "Annette: A Big, Hairy Mom is the kind of book every young Cryptid enthusiast should read. While so many films and books portray these beings as monstrous, the fact is they are more like us in many ways. Adventure, surprises, and discovery await the young mind in this delightful book. Recommended " David Bakara, Expedition Bigfoot: The Sasquatch Museum, Blue Ridge, Georgia "All parts of Annette: A Big, Hairy Mom are scintillatingly believable in their sharp focus, realistic action, sure character, and plot development. Undoubtedly, like many readers, this reviewer was moved to tears when Evan sacrificed his beloved Froggums for Annette to cherish, understanding and identifying with her special loneliness. Like J.K. Rowling and others, McFarland never underestimates the sensitivity and sophistication of his intended audience." Midwest Book Review

Vivimos tiempos dif ciles, y cada vez encontramos m s rupturas en los valores de nuestras sociedades. En la diversidad y la heterogeneidad socio-cultural de los hombres, tenemos que reconocer que es necesario abrir nuestra mente cuando pretendemos ser portadores de la verdad, y participantes de lo coherente. Debemos buscar la verdad siempre con un razonamiento inteligente y ecu nime, donde cada ser humano tenga consideraci n y cabida en nuestras ideolog as, y en nuestras valoraciones mezquinas llenas casi siempre de indiferencia, ego smo, y apat a. Debemos darle valor a todo hombre, y no perder nunca de vista la realidad de nuestra naturaleza y de nuestra diversidad. Es necesario que cada ser humano, en la b squeda de la dignidad del hombre-, acepte de forma honesta la pluralidad. Es por eso que debemos respetar nuestras diferencias, y nunca perder el valor del bien moral, ni volvernos indiferentes de la responsabilidad que tenemos como sociedad de buscar el progreso tico y el bienestar general. Elizabeth Tornelli -autora del libro ngeles de Guerra, coeditado con la casa CBH Books-, naci en la Ciudad de M xico y actualmente reside en los Estados Unidos.
Born into a world of wealth and pleasure, Annette Vallon enjoys the privileges of aristocracy, but a burning curiosity and headstrong independence set her apart from other women of her class. Spoiled by the novels of Rousseau, she refuses to be married unless it is for passion. Her stubborn devotion to her romantic principles bears the sweetest fruit when William Wordsworth, a young English poet, enters her life. She will be his mistress, his muse, his obsession. But theirs is a love that will test Annette in unexpected ways, bringing great joy and gravest peril in a dark time of chaos, upheaval, and death. Set amid the terror and excitement of the French Revolution, Annette Vallon is an enthralling and evocative tale that captures the courageous spirit of a remarkable woman who, for too long, has been relegated to the shadows of history.

Champion swimmer, trailblazer and film idol - the adventurous life of our first Hollywood superstar, by the bestselling author of Sister Viv, Mrs Kelly, Hudson Fysh, Banks and Banjo Finalist in The Courier-Mail People's Choice Queensland Book of the Year Award 2025 From the moment she was born in 1886, Annette Kellerman was a force of nature. After a diagnosis of rickets as a young girl she took up swimming, and her extraordinary tenacity and bravery made her an Australian champion, beating boys, breaking records, and astonishing huge crowds by diving from great heights. At eighteen, Annette had her sights set on swimming the English Channel and challenging endurance records in the Thames, and late in the Seine, Boston Harbour and the Danube - and famously scandalized the public with her one-piece swimming costume, which changed fashion forever and drew legions of women into the water, allowing them to swim freely. Thrilling audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with her breathtaking vaudeville act, beauty and athleticism, she became famous as 'The Perfect Woman', and Hollywood swiftly embraced her. By 1914 she was a silent film superstar and sex symbol thanks for her risque costumes - and sometimes no costume at all. Annette's appetite for excitement and thrills was legendary - once flinging herself into a pool of live crocodiles for one film and jumping from the wings of a biplane for another. But she also had a shrewd business mind, lecturing and publishing books about fitness and designing her clothing range, all to help women become healthier, stronger and more beautiful. Kellerman was one of the highest-paid entertainers of her time and a world-wide celebrity, but despite her fame she saw her promotion of health, fitness and independence for women as her greatest achievement, and her influence and spirit changed the lives of millions.
