One year since she lost her mother to a random shooting, Nora and
her father are exploring a slot canyon deep in the Arizona desert.
They like to stay far away from other people now, or at least
Nora's father does. Nora has been working with a therapist to try
to heal, and she longs to have a normal life again, to be "just an
ordinary girl" like she was when her mother was still alive. But
when she and her father reach the bottom of the canyon, a flash
flood rips past them, sweeping away Nora's father and all of their
supplies. Nora finds herself lost and alone in the desert, facing
dehydration, snakes, scorpions, and, worst of all, the beast who
has terrorized her dreams for the past year. To survive, Nora must
find the courage to save herself and her father...or be consumed by
her grief and her fear.

With more enticing collage art and sparkling rhyme from the
creators of Snow Days, a preschooler's celebration of sunny weather
and all the activities it makes possible Morning sun, golden skies
Softly waking sleepy eyes For preschoolers, sunny days are full of
possibility. A sunbeam on the ground is the perfect place to curl
up with a furry friend, and warming weather means seeds in the
garden, mud pies in the yard, adventures at the beach, and ice
cream in the shade. Evening brings the silly fun of watching little
shadows stretch out long, and there's nothing so cozy as watching
the sun set as a family. In Sunny Days, author Deborah Kerbel once
again weaves a spell of early childhood magic with couplets as
bright as a summer afternoon. Illustrator Miki Sato's textural
collage art nearly rises from the page with fascinating features
made from paper, felt, and embroidery silk.

In Beyond Championships Teen Edition, Coach Dru Joyce lays out the
steps teens can follow to become winners on and off the court. Much
more than a sports book, Beyond Championships Teen Edition is a
blueprint for anyone looking to make better choices and reach their
full potential. The book speaks to athletes aspiring to emulate
LeBron's success, as well as anyone who feels either uninspired or
unable to change the direction of their lives. In less than ten
years, Coach Dru went from someone resigned to a dull-yet-stable
existence to one of the highest profile basketball coaches in the
country, despite having virtually no background in the sport. It
was an incredible transformation, the type most people only dream
of, but one Coach Dru proved can become a reality with the right
combination of faith and hard work. Beyond Championships Teen
Edition focuses on the nine principles Coach Dru promotes to his
players and tries to live his own life. While these principles act
as the foundation on which Coach Dru has built so many successful
basketball teams, their universality ensures that they can be
applied to any situation.

NoNonsense fly fishing guide to the state of California. His fly
fishing passion has accompanied him throughout his many adventures
hiking the peaks in Tibet and the Himalayas and exploring the
wilderness of Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, and Asia, but his
Northern California home waters are what he knows best.
