Jules Verne is best known for such novels as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Around the World in 80 Days," and "Journey to the Center of the Earth," but he did a great deal of other work as well -- he published two books a year for decades, and left behind an "oeuvre" that approaches vast.

In this novel, published in this edition as "An Antarctic Mystery" but also known as "The Sphinx of the Ice Fields, " Captain Len Guy's brother is on the ship "Jane" when it goes missing, and the Captain must convince the crew of the "Halbrane" to take a long and dangerous trip to Antarctic in hope of finding his brother and any other survivors of the "Jane." But strange as the journey may be, it's nowhere near as strange as what they will find waiting at its end. . . .

He is the dreaded false prophet, and the weak and easily seduced fall to him in droves.

THE TEENAGED CAPTAIN

"The sailors knew that they were lost. All rose, giving a terrible cry, which was perhaps heard on the "Pilgrim," A terrible blow from the monster's tail had just struck the whale-boat underneath. The boat, thrown into the air with irresistible violence, fell back, broken in three pieces, in the midst of waves furiously lashed by the whale's bounds."

Young Dick Sand has just been a sailor on the "Pilgrim," a whaler on a Pacific Ocean hunt between South America and New Zealand.

But the captain and the rest of the crew have been killed trying to harpoon a whale.

Now fifteen year old Dick was captain

Nor was this to be a simple voyage to safety, even as he tries to train castaways from another shipwreck Tom, Acton, Austin, Bat, Nan and even Dingo the dog to help him with the vessel.

For the cook, Negoro, has other plans for the crew and passengers of the "Pilgrim,"

Trick the boat to a course to Angola -- and sell Dick and all the others into slavery

Here's salty sea adventure of the finest caliber by story master Jules Verne.

Michael O'Brien, a somewhat spoiled 12-year-old, is puzzled when his workaholic mom insists on a two-month road trip, to New Mexico, in the middle of the school year.

Verne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness

But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had the cost, when you adjust for inflation, almost exactly right. There are other similarities, too. Verne's cannon was named the "Columbiad"; the Apollo 11 command module was named "Columbia." Apollo 11 had a three-person crew, just as Verne's did; and both blasted off from the American state of Florida. Even the return to earth happened in more-or-less the same place.

Coincidence -- or "fact ?" We say you'll have to read this story yourself to judge.

In a perfect world, what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman.

A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death.

In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.

P.T. Mudd is a boy with an active imagination who loves to tell tall tales. But his wildest stories become reality when he discovers a magical stone that transports him to Muddlia, a land where he becomes the crown prince.

There's only one problem: everyone in Muddlia believes everything they're told. So, they naturally believe P.T. when he tells them that he is the greatest hero in the world, and they also trust him when he says that the Ultimate Evil of the Universe, Blotto Ratspaw, is putting together an army on the edge of their fair land.

Although the people of Muddlia have never known war, they follow P.T.'s advice to create their own army to save Muddlia from Ratspaw. Joined by new friends Chicki-Baby, a big blue talking chicken, and Belinda Bosh, a girl his own age who dreams of being a great champion, P.T. leads the trusting Muddlians off to war.

As P.T. boldly leads his loyal subjects, things begin to go terribly wrong. Unexpectedly, P.T. and his army are fighting against a very real, very nasty enemy. Now, P.T. must make an awful choice. Will he save the innocent Muddlians, or think only of himself and escape back to home and safety?
