  The Door in Lake Mallion brings readers into a world of magic, monsters, and the folks who love them, telling a story of dazzling performers, glowing mushroom cities, and the power of shining our light for everyone to see
  		 
  “A hot ticket, chockablock with memorable performances.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
  		 
  Dunstan has had big ambitions his entire life — bigger than the small lakeside town of Knockum — imagining himself heading a chorus line with a leading man he hasn’t quite cast yet. But on his way out of town for good, a gang of his classmates capture him and send him to the bottom of nearby Lake Mallion, rumored to harbor a magical door in its depths.
  		 
  Before Dunstan drowns, the door opens. On the other side is the Geodom of Jet and the reptilian Prince Ven, who is on the run — from his past, his destiny, and the stories people tell about him. Now Ven has a chance to tell a different story, and he’ll use Dunstan to pen the script.
  		 
  But the door has been keeping a dangerous secret that not even the lakebed can contain, and both worlds hang in the balance. Will the final curtain reveal that not all lights are meant to shine?

  Wyatt Hill is the quiet giant of Mrs. Z’s class—a third-grader who looks like a fifth grader, nearly as tall as Mrs. Z herself. Because of his size, everyone expects him to play sports or be a tough guy, but that isn’t Wyatt’s way. He adores his stuffed lizard, Lizzie, and the lively conversations they share. He notices who’s having a bad day in class and wonders why boys don’t get to play hopscotch, which looks like a very fun game. And he is starting to put words down on paper in a way that might finally express all his thoughts about the world, which are so hard to say out loud.   Wyatt’s always known who he’s SUPPOSED to be, but not who he is. The answer he discovers just might finally unite the boys and girls at recess—and reveal the zany kid who’s been quietly there the whole time, waiting to speak up.

  Long ago, before shimmering cities and humming machines, there was water. It flowed in rivers, danced in the rain, and filled the oceans—a silent, steady force that carried life in every droplet. For centuries, humanity has respected this precious gift, but as time passed, it was forgotten. The rivers grew polluted, the lakes dried up, and the rain became a rare visitor. Then, one day, something unimaginable happened: the water began to disappear. In "The Day Water Vanished: A Drop of Life," embark on a poignant journey to a world where the most essential element vanishes. Witness the Earth’s quiet sorrow as her rivers slow to a trickle, her lakes vanish, and even the vast oceans retreat. Follow the plight of a little fish struggling in a polluted river, the thirst of animals in dry fields, and the confusion of people as their faucets run dry. But this is not just a story of loss—it’s a story of rediscovery. It’s about remembering the first drop of water that touched the Earth, bringing life to a barren world. It’s about understanding the interconnectedness of all living things and the vital role water plays in our existence. And it’s about a promise: a promise to cherish this gift, to share it with every creature, and to ensure that this never happens again. "The Day Water Vanished" is a timeless fable that resonates with readers of all ages. It’s a gentle reminder of the profound importance of water and a powerful call to action. Join the journey, learn the Earth’s lesson of love and respect, and discover how, together, we can keep the flow of life alive.

  🕯️ Wisdom isn't just intelligence, it's a way of life. 
  It's not a certificate, or sharp mental ability, or cleverness in speech. 
  True wisdom is when your heart is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your path is aligned with God's will. 
  In this unforgettable sermon, Pope Shenouda III, the former Coptic Orthodox Pope—called "The Golden Mouth" by many—explains the profound difference between being smart and being truly wise in the eyes of the Lord. 
  This English-translated message is especially prepared for: 
  Orthodox Christians raised outside the Middle East 
  Second and third-generation immigrants who may struggle with Arabic 
  All Christians worldwide who seek to grow in spiritual maturity, regardless of denomination 
  🔑 Key Topics in This Sermon: 
  The difference between intelligence and godly wisdom 
  The traits of a truly wise person in God's sight 
  How to live wisely both spiritually and practically 
  How to walk in God’s commandments with discernment and humility 
  📖 Biblical Anchors: 
  "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24) 
  "But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26) 
  🧠 What’s the Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom? 
  Intelligence understands quickly, analyzes fast, and may solve problems. 
  Wisdom lives rightly, even if not academically brilliant. 
  There are brilliant philosophers… yet they deny God. 
  "The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’" (Psalm 14:1)
