Fun little profiles of some prominent rebels throughout history. As the authors are English, more than half of the rebels have their conflicts with whoever is in charge of the British Isles at the time.

The creators keep it light and throw in lots of jokes, but many of these rebels end up dying for their cause and the humor gets a little dark when it comes to outlining the violence of their deaths. Not to mention that the concept of the book has author Adam Murphy interviewing the animated corpses of the historical figures. Sensitive youngsters should be steered away, but those kids that like a little gruesome in the mix will probably find themselves enjoying history for the first time.

Mouth Watering Paleo Desserts: Easy, Delicious Recipes For Busy Moms
Healthy nutritious desserts for those on a paleo diet. Love that the recipes sound good but they also include the nutritional information if you are on other diets as well.
If you are new to the Paleo diet you will learn you have to use the ingredients (almond flour and coconut oil) and you can't substitute what you are used to using. Might take a bit of time to collect all the ingredients from one store
but it'd be well worth it. Brownie cookies would be my favorite to try.… (altro)
