When Scarlet was born, her parents did the usual counting. Two eyes. One nose. Ten fingers. Ten toes. Also: one long, fluffy, fuzzy, furry tail. That was a surprise.
Born a bit different than expected, Scarlet has always embraced her uniqueness. When she starts preschool, though, she finds it can be a little scary to stand out from the crowd. But with the help of some new friends, Scarlet's infectious enthusiasm has everyone celebrating what makes her special!

A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about
the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because
I don't need the Olympians mad at me again. But if it helps you to
know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they
ever show up in your face, then I guess writing all this down will
be my good deed for the week.
So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon
adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He
explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal
take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does
not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood baths, lying,
stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it
definitely was a Golden Age for all that."
Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott Honoree
John Rocco make this volume--a must for home, library, and
classroom shelves--as stunning as it is entertaining.
No one knows what happened that morning at River Point. Five boys went hunting. Four came back. The boys won't say who fired the shot that killed their friend, Grant; the evidence shows it could have been any one of them.
Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous-more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families.
Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice for Grant. As she investigates with Stone-the aging prosecutor relying on Kate to see and hear what he cannot-she realizes that nothing about the case-or the boys-is what it seems. Grant wasn't who she thought he was, and neither is Stone's prime suspect. As Kate gets dangerously close to the truth, it becomes clear that the early morning accident might not have been an accident at all-and if Kate doesn't uncover the true killer, more than one life could be on the line including her own.
