It is the year 2056, and a highly evolved species called Pitagons are ready to return to the Earth they abandoned thousands of years ago. These ancient humans have discovered the secret to longevity through scientific experiments. Now they want to save as much of humanity on Earth-before a catastrophe strikes.

As the sole city of the ancestors emerges from the sea as the last refuge of mankind, Adrian Simon sits in front of a brain machine as he attempts once again to contact humans living on other planets. Normally, his machine is quiet, but on this day it begins beeping wildly. Moments later, Adrian receives a message that tells him aliens who have been living in a city beneath the ocean are the victims of a natural disaster. What Adrian does not know is that the aliens have chosen him to help them during the enormous crisis that will soon threaten mankind. Adrian is the only one who can save the world.

"The Pitagons" uncovers the secret civilization of our ancestors and reveals the magic of their astonishing abilities as a young scientist does everything in his power to rescue as many humans from impending demise-before it is too late.

Ages 9 to 12 years The London Deep series is half graphic novel and half book - with comic art on every page. It's set in the future in a flooded London, where rival police forces for kids and adults compete to keep the peace. London is menaced by a mysterious plague. The disease, which leaves a spider web pattern of fine lines upon the victim, has been nicknamed 'Threadneedle'. The YPD order a full scale evacuation of London, claiming that adults are the carriers.

This would be his last chance to get them back; he was sure of it. He had to get them back. He couldn't risk letting it happen again ever... Little did the old man know that the amulets would lead his grandsons, Scott and Will, into a land of enchantment called Acacia in which those who enter realize a distinct power. Few possess a truly potent power, and with that comes the responsibility to honor the land that provides their enchantments. That's how it had always been and should be until Dryden showed up. With a wicked fury Dryden took over the once peaceful land with a power that was unmatchable or so he thought. There is but one who possesses a power that can possibly challenge Dryden's, but he's only a ten-year-old boy from the outside world who just wants to go home.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - On the east edge of the Land of Oz, in the Munchkin Country, is a big, tall hill called Mount Munch. One one side, the bottom of this hill just touches the Deadly Sandy Desert that separates the Fairyland of Oz from all the rest of the world, but on the other side, the hill touches the beautiful, fertile Country of the Munchkins. The Munchkin folks, however, merely stand off and look at Mount Munch and know very little about it; for, about a third of the way up, its sides become too steep to climb, and if any people live upon the top of that great towering peak that seems to reach nearly to the skies, the Munchkins are not aware of the fact. But people DO live there, just the same. The top of Mount Munch is shaped like a saucer, broad and deep, and in the saucer are fields where grains and vegetables grow, and flocks are fed, and brooks flow and trees bear all sorts of things. There are houses scattered here and there, each having its family of Hyups, as the people call themselves. The Hyups seldom go down the mountain, for the same reason that the Munchkins never climb up: the sides are too steep.
