But something is terribly wrong at Endor. Students are taught spells that are petty and ill-wishing, and when Mary discovers evidence of a terrible and cruel experiment in transformation, she decides to leave. But the moment her broomstick takes off, she realises that Tib the cat has been captured ...

The Lost Generation: The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington, Under Fire: The Story of a Squad by Henri Barbusse. After the First World War, special people returned to their home towns from the front. When the war began, they were still boys, but duty forced them to defend the homeland. "Lost Generation" - as they were called. This concept is used today when we talk about writers who worked during the breaks between the First and Second World Wars, which became a test for all of humanity and were almost all beaten out of their usual, peaceful rut. One of the themes that commonly appears in the authors' works is decadence and the frivolous lifestyle of the wealthy. Writers of the lost generation raise in their works the problem of young people who returned from the war and did not find their home, their relatives. Questions about how to live, how to remain human, how to learn to enjoy life again - this is what is paramount in this literary movement. Table of Contents: 1. Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell to Arms 2.

In the magical town of Broomstick there is the Hidden Quiddity Potion Shop owned by two sisters, Agnes and Harriet. Most of the time, Agnes and Harriet are well aware of unusual happenings in the magical world. Not this time. And to make things worse, Harriet didn’t know what her teenage daughter Kizee was up with a knotem boy by the name of George Düben until it was too late. No one knew of the map or the plan to find Zweig’s magic wand. Strangely enough, this had been the best kept secret in Broomstick. Agnes and Harriet were helping customers when the storm passed through Broomstick. Harriet didn’t have any idea what Kizee and George were really up to. Suddenly, Harriet fell to her knees. “Kizee, No!” Agnes felt the high power of magic vibrate through her. She saw her sister fall to her knees. “I felt it too,” said Agnes as she helped Harriet up.

You know, the kind that comes with plenty of fun, romance, and the promise of a happy ending. Instead, my adventure is looking like something out of Game of Thrones. My Shade-filled dreams have been replaced with a recurring nightmare, and there’s a random Banshee seemingly haunting mine and Willa’s house. Just when I think nothing else could happen, Shade literally drops through my roof with not-so-good news. The King Collector is here. And it turns out, this time, he’s coming for Willa and me… Gentlemen Prefer Broomsticks is the third book in the brand new series: Accidentally Magical at Midlife? from author Melinda Chase.
