On a rainy night eight years ago, Evan Barrett's parents were lost
at sea. In horror, he listened to their frantic Mayday calls on the
ship-to-shore radio, to his mother's cries for mercy--and to the
deafening shrieks that answered her back.
Now seventeen, Evan has gone in search of answers to his parents'
strange disappearance. The only explanation that makes any sense to
him is that they were swallowed up by The She, a legendary sea
creature that devours ships. But when Evan's quest for the truth
uncovers shocking allegations against his parents, he must deal
with the possibility that everything he knows about his family is a
lie.
Includes a reader's guide.
The teenage years are a time filled with sadness, madness, joy, and
all the messy stuff in between. Sometimes it feels that every day
brings a new struggle, a new concern, a new reason to stay in bed
with the shades drawn. But between moments of despair and confusion
often come times of great clarity and insight, when you might
think, like the poet Rumi, "Whoever's calm and sensible is insane "
It is moments like these that have inspired the touching, honest,
and gripping poems found in I Just Hope It's Lethal: Poems of
Sadness, Madness, and Joy. After all, what's normal anyway?
This collection includes poems by Charles Bukowski, Sylvia Plath,
Anne Sexton, T. S. Eliot, Edgar Allen Poe, W. B. Yeats, Dorothy
Parker, Jane Kenyon, and many more, including teenage writers and
up-and-coming poets.
William H. "Billy the Kid" Bonney Jr. loves to take risks. But
Billy's luck runs out when, during a train heist, a passenger
recognizes the nineteen-year-old outlaw. Fed up with his bad ways,
Sheriff Willis Monroe, Billy's own cousin, decides to track him
down. The Kid's two-timing partners are hunting him, too--and a
posse wants Billy ("and" the sheriff) dead.
This gripping fictional tale imagines William Bonney's fate had
his life of crime taken a very different turn. Fans of adventure
will be riveted by Theodore Taylor's fresh take on a legendary
character.
" ""Includes an author's note about the real Billy the Kid."
The complex web of relationships that make up a major-league
baseball team is the heart of this story about a rookie pitcher who
becomes a threat to his team's chances for the pennant.
"Includes an introduction by Bruce Brooks."

Six Clearview Middle School seventh-graders are $500 richer after
buying a Maryland State Lottery ticket this week in order to test a
scientific hypothesis.
Benjamin Lloyd, 12, whose father purchased the winning ticket,
declined to discuss details of the students' experiment, citing
concerns of competition in the March 13 state science fair. . . .
Mr. Ennis was as tight-lipped as his students regarding the nature
of their experiment. "They plan to go public at the science fair.
And that's about all I can say. But," he said, grinning, "I do
predict a win."
Thus reads an article in the Waverly Times, which is Exhibit Ain
the Mad Science Club's report to prove the existence of ESP. As
told through the individual voices of a diverse cast of characters,
Mind Games crackles with personality. Discoveries from the
paranormal to the personal abound in this insightful exploration of
friendship, science, ESP--and the lottery.
It has been eight years since Hope's mom died in a car accident.
Eight years of shuffling from foster home to foster home. Eight
years of trying to hold on to the memories that tether her to her
mother. Now Sarah, Hope's newest foster mom, has taken her from
Minneapolis to spend the summer on the Nebraska farm where Sarah
grew up. Hope is set adrift, anchored only by her ever-present and
memory-heavy backpack. Accustomed to the clamor of city life, Hope
is at first unsettled by the silence that descends over the farm
each night. But listening deeply, she begins to hear the quiet: the
crickets' chirp, the windsong, the steady in and out of her own
breath. Soon the silence is replaced by voices, like echoes
sounding across time -- the voices of girls who inhabited the old
farmhouse before her. Reluctantly, Hope begins to stretch down
roots in the earth and accept this new family as her own.
