Synopsis Playing Safe With Preston by : Marna J Smith

Preston loved to play with all his toys when he was a little boy; he always wore his helmet when he rode on anything. I wrote this book to educate children about helmet safety and how the brain needs to be protected because it controls our body and helps us learn new things. Did you know that someone in the U.S. suffers a brain injury every 9 seconds? Preston fell while riding a skateboard and injured his brain. He will always need a caregiver to take care of him and for those around him to move him from his bed to his wheel chair. He has had hundreds of hours of therapy and can now make some sounds, but mostly communicates with his eyes and facial expressions. Preston is a fighter and is very determined to get better. His fundraising T-Shirt says, "the force is strong with this one" and it is so perfect for our Star Wars lover. My hope is that this book encourages your loved ones to be safe and to wear helmets when they are riding on anything that makes them go. Every March is Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month please use this book to educate others about some ways to prevent TBI's. Slow down, play safe, and wear a helmet.

Synopsis Cellar by : Natasha Preston

"Lily?" My stomach dropped as a tall, dark-haired man stepped into view. Had he been hiding between the trees? "No. Sorry." Gulping, I took a step back. "I'm not Lily." He shook his head, a satisfied grin on his face. "No. You are Lily." "I'm Summer. You have the wrong person." You utter freak! I could hear my pulse crashing in my ears. How stupid to give him my real name. He continued to stare at me, smiling. It made me feel sick. "You are Lily," he repeated. Before I could blink, he threw his arms forward and grabbed me. I tried to shout, but he clasped his hand over my mouth, muffling my screams. My heart raced. I'm going to die. For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her—and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...

Synopsis How I Played the Game by : Byron Nelson

Byron Nelson is golf's greatest living legend. He is one of the finest golfers ever to pick up a putter, and the man who had the most magnificent year any golfer ever had—-1945, when he won an incredible eighteen PGA tournaments, including eleven in a row, and finished second in seven others. How I Played the Game is the beautifully told tale, in his own words, of a man determined to be the best ever: his hardscrabble rural Texas upbringing and his near-death experience with typhoid fever; his early years as a caddie at Fort Worth's Glen Garden Country Club (where as a 15-year-old he beat another young caddie named Ben Hogan in the Caddie Championship); the lean years as an amateur and as a young pro during the Depression; and the golden years of the 1940s, when he invented the modern golf swing and forged the legend of "Lord Byron." Even after his sudden retirement (the real reason for which is finally revealed here, his impact on the game never lessened. Besides his many years as an insightful TV golf commentator, he was mentor to several future golf champions, Ken Venturi and Tom Watson among them. And he continued to play top-caliber golf with the greats of the game, like Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer, and some who were less than great—-President Eisenhower, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and a host of others. Laced throughout with scores of priceless stories, anecdotes, opinions, and even golf tips, and with an in-depth, event-by-event recreation of his golden year, 1945, How I Played the Game is golf writing and remembrance of the highest order—-irresistible reading for every golfer and fan.
