Description

<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out &quot;not nice!&quot; Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr.Seuss&quot; - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

I couldn't stop imagining: what would it be like if I could time-travel to Jane Austen's world? What would I do? How would I live? Who would I meet? This thought developed into a book that brings the reader into my fantasy. I think it's a pretty fun, interesting, sexy one!

Georgina Young-Ellis is more than a gifted storyteller, she casts a spell that takes the reader back to 1820 Regency England. The sights, the sounds, the textures, and the smells embrace you. I had to shake myself to remember what century this is as I clicked the last magical page of The Time Baroness. <br /><br />The writing is exquisite. The story of a mother struggling to rescue her son in another century, in a culture where women were seen and not heard, is a very new spin on what we all hope is possible... Time Travel. Science fiction, mystery, a mother's love, and an almost eerie sense of Déjà vu. A spellbinding story from an amazing author. Highly Recommended. <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VGVSJ6/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#004b91;">The Time Baroness</a></div><div style="margin-left:.5em;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left:.5em;"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td width="90%" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="margin-left:.5em;"><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-size:small;"><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Reminds me of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series only with Jane Austen's world</strong>, April 10, 2011</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-size:small;"><div><div style="float:left;">By </div><div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AODXU511FK5W5/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#004b91;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="white-space:nowrap;">moonsoup<span class="swSprite s_chevron custPopRight" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:3px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;vertical-align:middle;background-image:url(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/common/sprites/sprite-site-wide-2._V214202442_.png);width:11px;height:11px;background-position:-30px -40px;"></span></span></span></a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AODXU511FK5W5/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#004b91;">See all my reviews</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><div class="tiny" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:x-small;margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#e47911;font-size:x-small;">This review is from: </span>The Time Baroness (Kindle Edition)</strong></div>If you like Diana Gabaldon's &quot;Outlander&quot; series you will love this book. The author has created a fascinating world of time travel, with the future the past all intertwined. The historical setting and references really takes you to another time. I also enjoyed the sci- fi twist (more than I expected) and how it was wound up with the historical part. Great characters, and an engrossing plot full of twists and turns that takes you on a fascinating journey. A really enjoyable read. Perfect for summer and the beach.</div><a></a><br /><div style="margin-left:.5em;"><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-size:small;">2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.</div><div style="padding-top:10px;clear:both;width:566px;"><div style="clear:both;font-size:small;"></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:.5em;"><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;font-size:small;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;vertical-align:middle;background-image:url(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/common/sprites/sprite-site-wide-2._V214202442_.png);width:65px;height:13px;background-position:-30px 0px;"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Time Baroness took me away...</strong>, April 18, 2011 t</span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#e47911;font-size:x-small;">his review is from: </span>The Time Baroness (Kindle Edition)</strong></span></div>I'm not a big fan of science-fiction or any fiction for that matter. But after just a few pages, I was hooked on &quot;The Time Baroness&quot;. The way the author wove the super modern world of time travel with Jane Austen's world was very clever and had my attention throughout....so much so, that I actually missed my subway stop coming home from work one night because I was so engrossed with the story. Did I mention the steamy parts??? Well, let's just say that even in Victorian times, there were sexy booty calls! Read &quot;The Time Baroness&quot; for a true escape from life with aspects of real life that will make you wonder...what if?</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table>
