Here is a story for the young and the young at heart. In today's fast-paced world of bigger, better and faster mindsets; what's a family to do? The Montgomerys are about to find out. Caught up in the ever-demanding "Keeping up with the Joneses" syndrome, the family is blessed enough to experience some life-changing moments that are inspired by a mysterious bookstore, "Pages in Tyme." With the help of a book entitled "The River's Journey," the family becomes closer. At first, the father doesn't see the value in spending "quality time" with his wife and kids. After much hope and prayerful thinking, he finally comes around in a way that is sure to make everyone shed a tear of joy. Kirk C. Gallenkamp was born and raised in Fresno California. He currently resides in Bakersfield California. Kirk has been blessed with three of the most incredible children; Kevin, Austin and Kambria. They are major inspirations in his life. Kirk first came to know the Lord at the age of twenty seven after going through his own youthful troubles. Kirk is currently attending Valley Bible Fellowship in Bakersfield California. Kirk has always had a passion to become a writer. However, it wasn't until the Lord laid it upon his heart several years ago that he needed to write a children's book. One based on Scripture, one that can keep the interest of a "non-churched" kid as well as be life-applicable for even the most grounded biblical family. It is Kirk's desire and passion to help spread the Gospel with his unique style of writing. God Bless....

"Although set in the present, the book you are holding has not been written ... yet! This enigmatic literary paradox was recently unearthed by a highly respected cryptozoologist exploring subterranean caverns beneath a ruined Scottish castle. The chest he found contained a hand-written manuscript of the entire Tartan of Thyme with a strange explanatory note dated 01/04/26. Nothing else is known about its mysterious author, Panama Oxridge, except that he or she will be born sometime early next year"--P. [2] of cover.

"Think you know Rapunzel's story? Think again, because the tower was only the beginning..." -- Jennifer Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of THE FALSE PRINCE In all of Tyme, from the Redlands to the Grey, no one is as lucky as Rapunzel. She lives in a magic tower that obeys her every wish; she reads wonderful books starring herself as the heroine; her hair is the longest, most glorious thing in the world. And she knows this because Witch tells her so -- her beloved Witch, who protects her from evil princes, the dangerous ground under the tower, even unhappy thoughts. Rapunzel can't imagine any other life.Then a thief named Jack climbs into her room to steal one of her enchanted roses. He's the first person Rapunzel's ever met who isn't completely charmed by her (well, the first person she's met at all, really), and he is infuriating -- especially when he hints that Witch isn't telling her the whole truth. Driven by anger at Jack and her own nameless fears, Rapunzel descends to the ground for the first time, and finds a world filled with more peril than Witch promised...and more beauty, wonder, and adventure than she could have dreamed.

Newbery-winning Rules meets Counting by 7s in this affecting story of a girl’s devotion to her brother and what it means to be home When eleven-year-old Thyme Owens’ little brother, Val, is accepted into a new cancer drug trial, it’s just the second chance that he needs. But it also means the Owens family has to move to New York, thousands of miles away from Thyme’s best friend and everything she knows and loves. The island of Manhattan doesn’t exactly inspire new beginnings, but Thyme tries to embrace the change for what it is: temporary. After Val’s treatment shows real promise and Mr. Owens accepts a full-time position in the city, Thyme has to face the frightening possibility that the move to New York is permanent. Thyme loves her brother, and knows the trial could save his life—she’d give anything for him to be well—but she still wants to go home, although the guilt of not wanting to stay is agonizing. She finds herself even more mixed up when her heart feels the tug of new friends, a first crush, and even a crotchety neighbor and his sweet whistling bird. All Thyme can do is count the minutes, the hours, and days, and hope time can bring both a miracle for Val and a way back home. With equal parts heart and humor, Melanie Conklin’s debut is a courageous and charming story of love and family—and what it means to be counted.
