This is poetry at it's finest, Maxie takes his lessons and turns them into art. Some might say he's all over the place, but just remember, situations don't come in order.....sometimes there just,all over the place. With that being said some lessons are RELENTLESS, some lessons bring DEMONS. Lessons can be beautiful like KA'NIYA. I just HOPE, the readers find each lesson and apply them accordingly. Because LOVE, is hard to find like a diamond in the rough. Some people use MUSIQ as the out let they need. It can't be, JUST US, who needs poetry. YOUR SPECIAL, and after this read you understand why. Because life can be a JUNGLE; you just have to know when to fight, or take flight. I hope you enjoy this book because this is a masterpiece that's indeed "ALL OVER THE PLACE"

A unique account of the amazing Thai cave rescue told in a heart-racing, you-are-there style that blends suspense, science, and cultural insight.
On June 23, 2018, twelve young players of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach enter a cave in northern Thailand seeking an afternoon’s adventure. But when they turn to leave, rising floodwaters block their path out. The boys are trapped! Before long, news of the missing team spreads, launching a seventeen-day rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers from around the globe. As the world sits vigil, people begin to wonder: how long can a group of ordinary kids survive in complete darkness, with no food or clean water? Luckily, the Wild Boars are a very extraordinary 'ordinary' group. Combining firsthand interviews of rescue workers with in-depth science and details of the region's culture and religion, author Christina Soontornvat—who was visiting family in Northern Thailand when the Wild Boars went missing—masterfully shows how both the complex engineering operation above ground and the mental struggles of the thirteen young people below proved critical in the life-or-death mission. Meticulously researched, this page-turner includes an author’s note describing her experience meeting the team, detailed source notes, and a bibliography to fully immerse readers in the most ambitious cave rescue in history.
