Revolution 19
by Gregg RosenblumTwenty years ago, the robots designed to fight our wars abandoned the battlefields. Then they turned their weapons on us. Headstrong seventeen-year-old Nick has spent his whole life in a community in the wilderness, hiding out from the robots that have enslaved mankind. But when the bots discover the community's location, he, his tech-geek younger brother, Kevin, and adopted sister, Cass, barely make it out alive--only to discover that their home has been destroyed and everyone they love is missing. All survivors were captured and taken to one of the robots' Cities. The siblings have been hearing tales about the Cities all their lives--humans are treated like animals, living in outdoor pens and forced to build new bots until they drop dead from exhaustion. Determined to find out if their parents are among the survivors, Nick, Kevin, and Cass venture into the heart of the City, but it is nothing like they've been told. As they live among the bots for the first time, they realize they're fighting for more than just their family. The robots have ruled for too long, and now it's time for a revolution.
Revolution Devotional
by Livingstone CorporationIf you want to be part of a revolution, this book is a great place to start. You can make a difference—in the world, in your town, in your school, in your life. The Revolution Devotionalhelps you understand and develop character traits that will turn you into a revolutionary for God. No boring reading here—instead it’s fast-paced and fun. Each day you’ll read a verse of the Bible, then a short devotional about the character in that verse. There’s additional Scripture for you to read if you want, plus a hilarious list relating to the day’s topic. For example, on the topic of being different from the crowd, you might get this list: Seven Ways to Be Really Different There’s different…and there’s really different. Here are seven ways to achieve the latter status: • Color your eyebrows with purple Magic Marker®. • Insist that people call you “Butterscotch.” • Wear bumper stickers on the back of your coat. • Declare yourself a “meat-arian” and argue for vegetable rights. • Talk only in Dr. Seuss rhymes. • At the lunch table, do play-by-play commentary for a game going on in your imagination. • Randomly blurt out the phrase, “Now that’s what I’m talking about”—even when no one is talking.
