What if every disney princess and prince were normal kids, and went to highschool together? What if some of your favorite villians and loveable characters really existed in their lives? What if you took away all the magic, would everyone still end up together?
Well, you are about to find out.
In these series of short stories, Ariel will no longer be a mermaid but a poor girl who has the hots for the captin of the football team, Eric. Jasmine will no longer be the princess of a foreign land, but of a billion dollar enterprise, Sultan Industries. Aladdin, will still be poor, but will come from the wrong side of the tracks and be best buds with Ariel. And thats just the beginning.....
Simone's life always seemed perfectly normal, other than the terrible nightmares consisting of a large pair of yellow eyes. But she knows that something isn't normal when she is kidnapped by Ignacio and meets the Corpus, a group of somewhat unique teenagers that are very similar to Simone. Simone discovers that she has abilities beyond belief. Ignacio, however, has plans to destroy all of the Corpus, other than Simone. But why spare her?
Rub a dub dub
Three men in a tub
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker
The candlestickmaker
And all of them lost at sea.
Aboard the spy ship U.S.S. Argosy in the war-tossed waters off the coast of Vietnam, three young American sailors form an unlikely bond. Each has fled an America they were raised to love but somehow no longer understand in the tumult of the late 1960s. When forced to choose whether to face combat or stay and fight the war in the streets, they sign up for a war that reflected the conflict that raged inside each of them. The one thing of which they were certain was that the only people in the world that they could depend on were each other.
In the tradition of Tim O’Brien’s "The Things They Carried," Denis Johnson’s "Tree of Smoke," and Phillip Caputo’s "A Rumor of War," "The Candlestickmaker" recalls a Vietnam that seared disenchantment into a post World War II generation who learned to question authority at all levels. A coming-of-age story bookended by shocking revelations that shatter illusions about patriotism, government and the nature of modern warfare, "The Candlestickmaker" takes readers on a voyage that will guarantee they never read the Mother Goose nursery rhyme in quite the same way again.
