Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1925, the quaint town of Loveville is buzzing, because the traveling carnival has arrived. And with it comes Stella, a dazzling white show horse who's used to bright lights, perfect routines, and cheering crowds.For a week, Stella is boarded at Sunny Acres Farm, where the ground is muddy, the barn is creaky, and the welcome committee includes a muddy piglet named Pip, a boot-collecting dog named Max, and a bossy hen who thinks she should run the whole place. Worst of all (at least at first), Stella meets Benny, a sturdy farm horse with a calm voice, a sharp sense of humor, and absolutely no interest in being impressed.When Pip goes missing in the cornfields, Stella and Benny must work together to bring him home. Under warm barn lanterns, Stella begins to discover something she hasn't felt in a long time: belonging. But pride can be fragile, and one misunderstanding threatens to pull them apart, until a fierce storm forces every animal on the farm (and a few carnival guests, too) to face what really matters.As the carnival's lanterns glow for one final night, Stella must decide what she wants more, applause, or a home where she's truly known. The Loveville Carnival is a tender, funny, and hopeful children's story about friendship, courage, and discovering that the best kind of love doesn't need an audience.Wholesome farm-and-carnival adventure set in small-town AmericaLovable animal characters, gentle humor, and cozy barn-lantern warmthThemes of kindness, teamwork, apology, and finding where you belongIdeal for read-aloud time and early independent readers who enjoy animal stories This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the Time of Herod by Richard Mascara is a sweeping and meticulously crafted historical fiction novel that delves into the turbulent life and reign of Herod the Great, King of Judea. Set against the backdrop of Roman imperial expansion and the volatile politics of the ancient Near East, the story traces Herod's rise from a politically entangled childhood under his father Antipater's influence to his strategic alliance with Rome and his controversial marriage to Mariamne, a Hasmonean princess.As Herod battles to reclaim Judea from the Parthian-backed Antigonus II Mattathias, his military prowess and political cunning come to the fore. Yet, his reign is anything but secure. Court intrigues, fueled by deep-seated rivalries and suspicions, especially surrounding Mariamne and the Hasmonean lineage, threaten to unravel his authority. The influence of figures like Aristobulus, Mariamne's brother and a popular High Priest, only deepens Herod's paranoia.Haunted by betrayal and consumed by jealousy, Herod's descent into madness is marked by personal tragedy and political instability. As his mental state deteriorates, his brother Pheroras steps in to manage the kingdom, while Herod channels his obsession into monumental architectural achievements, from the expansion of the Second Temple to the construction of Masada and Caesarea Maritima.Was Herod a visionary ruler who reshaped Judea, or a tyrant undone by his own fears? In the Time of Herod offers a vivid and thought-provoking portrait of a man whose legacy still echoes through history. This item is printed on demand.
