A young boy learns to understand autism through learning to
understand his older autistic brother. Enter the world of autism
through the eyes of a five year old brother. Carson is that five-
year old that is trying to understand his autistic older brother
Griffin. Their mother is always defining Griffin's behavior by

retired school teacher who lives in Avon Indiana with her husband
David. They have two grown sons, Blair and Tom. Currently Jane
works as a University Coach guiding college students who are
pursuing a career in elementary education. During her years in
education she was always drawn to the student that needed just a
little extra TLC. Her passion was the student that had to overcome
challenges in order to learn. One of the greatest joys in teaching
is when the misunderstood student finally understands. Her dream is
to write children's books about that type of student.
Jane C. Louden was an early pioneer of science fiction. Published
anonymously when she was just twenty, The Mummy is a defining early
text of the genre. Many of the horror stories of monsters and
ghouls, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
A chilling addition to the acclaimed Haunted Library of Horror
Classics series, complete with annotations and extra materials
Within a decade of the 1818 publication of Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein, another Englishwoman invented a foundational work of
science fiction. Seventeen-year-old Jane Webb Loudon took up the
theme of reanimation, moved it three hundred years into the future,
and applied it to Cheops, an ancient Egyptian mummy. Unlike
Shelley's horrifying, death-dealing monster, this revivified
creature bears the wisdom of the ages and is eager to share his
insights with humanity. Cheops boards a hot-air balloon and travels
to 22nd-century England, where he sets about remedying the ills of
a corrupt government. In recounting Cheops' attempts to put the
futuristic society to rights, the young author offers a fascinating
portrait of the preoccupations of her own era as well as some
remarkably prescient predictions of technological advances. The
Mummy! envisions a world in which automatons perform surgery,
undersea tunnels connect England and Ireland, weather-control
devices provide crop irrigation, and messages are transmitted with
the speed of cannonball fire. The first novel to feature the
concept of a living mummy, this pioneering tale offers an engaging
mix of comedy, politics, and science fiction. Other books in the
