Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: How Angel Peterson Got His Name is a nonfiction, young adult memoir written by Gary Paulsen, outlining the hilarious, and often dangerous stunts Paulsen and his friends pull in order to entertain themselves and impress the young ladies. All of the tales in this book are about the true adventures of Paulsen and his friends during the mid-1950s. In this op chapter, Paulsen's friend, Carl Peterson, wants to break the speed record for snow skiing; the big problem, however, is that the Minnesota landscape is as flat as a parking lot. In this adventure, in which Carl Peterson is renamed to Angel Peterson, the boys involve Archie - the local James Dean wannabe - Archie's car, all the financial resources of the friends, old Army snow skis, tow ropes, and the protection of angels to make for hilarious reading which all middle schoolers, especially boys, will thoroughly enjoy. In chapter two, Emil accidentally discovers hang gliding. After he buys a target kite, he decides he has to fly it. So Emil and the boys create a plan to get the kite into the air. They had all flown kites before, so they would follow the same principle. Of course, this plan goes awry and chaos ensues. Two young whippersnappers, Orvis and Paulsen, curiosity gets them into trouble when they listen in on the Revival meeting and decide to bring the footsteps of God to the congregation. Their other adventures involve daredevil stunts masterfully achieved on bicycles while avoiding near death from a neighborhood dog. Orvis is one of Gary Paulsen's f...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19151554 ... Read more

The Unbroken Bond
I would have given this book NO STARS but couldn't do a review without leaving it with one! The only thing I liked about the book was the picture on the front cover! I think the subtitle "The Warmth of love in the cold of the Alaskan Iditarod" implies that somewhere in the book the Iditarod would be mentioned! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK if you want a story about the Iditarod, I found only a couple of mentions of places which are checkpoints for the race, but no mention of the race at all.If you want a trashy Mills and Boon style love story this may be the book for you. Sled dogs are mentioned in the "novelette" pulling a sled in 1968 & still going strong in 1986, yep, very believable.
Disappointing! ... Read more

Product Description
Stowing away on the great ship, the Northern Star, which is traveling from South Africa, back across the vast and terrifying Atlantic Ocean toward New York, Claude Henry's latest adventure is driven. Claude Henry saves a young sailor, Jim, from drowning when the sailor is knocked overboard in a violent storm, and Claude Henry finding himself being thrown overboard as well.

Jim and Claude Henry are now lost on the great Atlantic ocean, and being carried away on a large well-sealed wooden crate. When Jim awakens from a long sleep he finds himself staring into the eyes of a little gray mouse.

When Claude Henry finally speaks in English, the young sailor is surely surprised at what he hears, and their adventure together begins with landing on a deserted beach where pirates regularly visit, and hungry seagulls threaten Claude Henry. It's a time for fast thinking and quick action as Jim and Claude Henry struggle to survive in this new great action packed, fun-filled adventure.

Once again, Claude Henry, the Iditarod Mouse struggles for the freedom and rights of the Mouse World. ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Agility is the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance and stamina. In sports, agility is often defined in terms of an individual sport, due to it being an integration of many components each used differently (specific to all of sorts of different sports). Sheppard and Young (2006) defined agility as "a rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus." In business, agility means the capability of rapidly and efficiently adapting to changes. Recently agility has been applied e.g. in the context of agile software development and agile enterprise. ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
