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.
Introduces and explains action idioms and their origins with comical illustrations that lend a literal interpretation.
Harper Jessup is an avid reader, and when her parents become
"migrants for God" she must keep her books secret. As Harper grows
older and realizes how valuable reading is to her, she comes to
understand that her parents' radical efforts in favor of
educational censorship are related to a quest for control within
their own family. And so Harper finds she must make the hardest
choice of all. "Sure to be controversial, prepare for a stimulating
conversation."--"The New Advocate"

Describes the history, daily activities, construction of dwellings, and special relationship to the land of the Pueblo Indians.
Collun has always been happiest working in his garden. But his
peaceful life is shattered when his sister, Nessa, mysteriously
disappears. He sets off to find her and soon realizes that he and
his traveling companions, including the feisty young archer
Breo-Saight, have become involved in something much larger and more
sinister than he had imagined.
"I want yesterday." That's all seventeen-year-old Maud can say when
she gets the news about her sister: Lucy's dead, killed in a bomb
blast. Without even a body to bury, Maud is left with only
questions: How? Why? Maud's search for answers leads her down the
same path her sister took. But all she finds are empty words and
more questions. Jeff struggles down a separate but parallel path.
His brother, a Marine, has been called up to Vietnam. To the world,
Jeff looks the part of a conservative preppy, but inside, he
questions the war. But does questioning the war mean he doesn't
support his brother?
It's 1969, and life in America has become an angry jumble of
patriotism and rebellion, cynicism and hope. Jeff and Maud are
caught up in the confusion. All they want is stability. What they
get is each other. Hopefully, it'll be enough.
Shortly before a serious accident ends his dream of pitching, Roy
Tucker is called up from a small-town team in Connecticut to help
the Brooklyn Dodgers out of a slump.

How can you tell if a river's under a spell? River trolls, rock
trolls, blue-wing fairies--the usual suspects. The stretch of the
Mississippi where Claire lives has rumors of them all, not that
she's ever spotted any. But then Claire's cousin Duke takes a swim
and sprouts a horn--a long, pointy, handsome thing. After that,
Claire doesn't have much choice but to believe that something
rivery is going on, especially since she's the only one who can
help Duke lose his new addition.
