November Giveaway Hop

Great News!  The November Giveaway Hop is officially underway.  This hop is hosted by:  I Am a Reader, Not a Writer and Tristi Pinkston. What is a blog hop?  You hop from one blog to another to see what is being offered as a giveaway.

My giveaway is open only to residents in the United States.  I'll be giving away several books this round so pay close attention.  All book blurbs are taken from Goodreads unless otherwise marked.  This post is quite long so when you've finished reading about the books, scroll to the bottom to find out how to enter.
.

For my younger audience, students, parents of young kids I offer the following:

Flat Stanley:  The Flying Chinese Wonders - Jeff Brown
Ouch! Stanley accidentally caused twin acrobats Yin and Yang to take a tumble, right before their Chinese New Year show. Yang's foot is broken—but luckily, Flat Stanley is flexible enough to take his place. To make up for his mistake, Stanley travels to China to help out—but can he learn all their amazing tricks in time?






Underworlds #1:  The battle Begins - Tony Abbott
There's something lurking under Owen's school. . . .
Owen Brown is your average fourth grader. Or he was, until his best friend, Dana, disappeared. Right in front of his face. Through the floor of the school.  Owen's average life has turned upside down.
He's determined to find Dana -- before anyone realizes she's missing. Owen sets out on a mysterious, mythological rescue mission with his friends Jon and Sydney. But what none of them know is that Dana's disappearance is part of a much larger riddle.  And they're at the center of it.


Judy Moody Girl Detective - Megan McDonald
Judy Moody is in a mood. A sleuthing, Nancy Drew kind of mood. So what’s a WBMS (world’s best mystery solver) to do? Go find a mystery, that’s what! And she doesn’t have to snoop for long: when Mr. Chips, a beloved crime-dog-in-training, goes missing, Judy Drewdy and her chums, agents Dills Pickle (Frank), Spuds Houdini (Rocky), and James Madagascar (Stink) find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a real life, scare-your-pants-off whodunit. Was Mr. Chips stolen by dirty dog nappers? And why are chocolate-chip cookies disappearing all over town? Watch out for red herrings—along with clever references to classic Nancy Drew mysteries—as Eagle Eye Moody and company are hot on the case.

Powerless - Matthew Cody

Twelve-year-old Daniel, the new kid in town, soon learns the truth about his nice—but odd—new friends: one can fly, another can turn invisible, yet another controls electricity. Incredible. The superkids use their powers to secretly do good in the town, but they’re haunted by the fact that the moment they turn thirteen, their abilities will disappear—along with any memory that they ever had them. Is a memory-stealing supervillain sapping their powers?
The answers lie in a long-ago meteor strike, a World War II–era comic book (Fantastic Futures, starring the first superhero, Johnny Noble), the green-flamed Witch Fire, a hidden Shroud cave, and—possibly, unbelievably—“powerless” regular-kid Daniel himself.  Superhero kids meet comic book mystery in this action-filled debut about the true meaning of a hero.

For my older readers I offer you the following:
The Map of Time - Felix J. Palma  This is an ARC
The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma. Set in Victorian London with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time is a page-turner that boasts a triple play of intertwined plots in which a skeptical H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including Dracula and The Time Machine, from being wiped from existence. What happens if we change history?



The Wounded Heat - Adina Senft
When a business offer turns into something more personal, Amelia is torn between what logic tells her is right, and the desire of her heart.
A widow with two small children, Amelia Beiler is struggling to make ends meet. She is running her late husband's business, but it's not what she was raised to do, which is run a home. When she gets an offer for the business from Eli Fischer, she's only too relieved to consider it-especially when it looks like Eli's interest might include more than just the shop. But when she begins to experience strange physical symptoms and is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, it's difficult not to question God's will. If she pursues the treatment she believes in, she risks going under the bann. But how can she allow Eli to court her when she can't promise him a future.


SUV’s Suck in Combat – Kerry C.  Kachejian  (2 Copies)
From Back of Book:  “SUV’s Suck in combat is an authoritative, first-hand account of the attempt by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to rebuild Iraq n the wake of the 2003 invasion.  Kerry Kachejian documents the enormous effort and sacrifice required to undertake a massive mission that dwarfed previous nation building efforts in scale and complexity.  He and his colleagues belonged to the Army that we had, tackling a mission few had foreseen, and without most of the resources they needed to succeed.  The inspiring stories he relates shed light on the early period of Iraqi reconstruction an bear study for how the United States can do better in the complex wars of he 21st century”


High Treason - Samuel Oakes  (2 copies)
The future is here for a bankrupt nation gripped in the throes of the plague, and the corrupt government is in charge of the vaccine. Young Amish man Enos Yoder faces the greatest crisis of his life when his father refuses to accept the compromises the Bishop has made, and his mother lies on her deathbed. Will the family be consumed by his father's stubbornness? Regina Owens, the liberal minister in town, is having her normal world rocked to the core by what is happening. She wonders why a man would lift his own hand against what is most precious in life. Will Enos recover from the brutal shock when his girlfriend is taken from him? Will his faith, backed by five hundred years of teaching against violence, survive the hate rising in his heart? High Treason is a story of love, bitterness, and treason, rising up in the heart of a man and in the highest corridors of government.
