The panic-filled summer of 1916, when multiple deadly shark attacks
shocked the nation, is chronicled in this gripping addition to the
New York Times Best-Selling What Was? series. On July 1, 1916,
witnesses watched in horror as twenty-eight-year-old Charles
Vansant was attacked and killed by a shark in shallow water off
Beach Haven, New Jersey—the first recorded shark attack in
American history. Scientists claimed a shark could not be
responsible, but more deadly attacks soon followed along the Jersey
Shore and up the freshwater Matawan Creek, setting off a nationwide
panic that led the White House to declare a “War on Sharks.” In
this illustrated book, which features 16 pages of black-and-white
photographs, readers will learn about the likely culprit (or
culprits) in the attacks—the great white shark and the bull
shark—and how the bloody summer of 1916 would change how people
viewed sharks forever.

measures...including cannibalism. Learn about the many
miscalculations, bad decisions, and extreme weather that led to the

readers about one of California's first major disasters.

New illustrations by Tim Foley and a new foreword by author Robert
Wheeler catapult this timeless classic by Ernest Hemingway into the
twenty-first century with vigor. For nearly a century, The Sun Also
Rises has endured as one of Hemingway's masterworks, and is widely
regarded as a prime example of the great American writer's
pioneering style and form. His first major novel explores powerful
themes like masculinity and male insecurity, sex and love, and the
effects of a brutal war on an aimless generation. This roman a clef
is based on the real experiences and relationships Hemingway had in
the early 1920s. Set predominantly in France and Spain, the novel
follows a group of disillusioned aimless expats tooling around
post-war Europe, living hard, drinking heavily, and having
complicated sordid love affairs. The novel is told from the
perspective of Jake Barnes, a World War I vet turned journalist
living in Paris, who is still in love with his former flame, the
eccentric and charismatic Lady Brett Ashley. Meanwhile, Jake's
friend, author Robert Cohn, becomes tired of his oppressive
marriage and sets off to seek out adventure, becoming enamored with
Brett himself. They all eventually drift from the glitz and glamour
of 1920s Paris to Pamplona, Spain, where they revel in the rawness
of bullfights and alcohol-fueled parties, eventually devolving into
jealousy and violent drama. This leads to Jake coming to a stark
realization-that he can never be with the woman he truly loves.

Bishop Grave School. Terrible secrets were once buried within its
foundations, screaming to be unleashed. Some children spoke of
ghosts... others, strange noises... but nobody ever believed them.

thirty years ago. They whisper about conspiracies and computers,
fascists and scientists... and a mysterious man called Eldritch who
wanted to bring about the end of the world. Taylor Sullivan knows

- but even that cannot prepare them for what's to come. As a new
year brings fresh dangers, can Taylor and their friends discover

truth? At last he’s ready to tell the tale of what really
happened. 12.4 The Friendly Invasion by Chris Chapman (2 parts).
It’s 1943 and the village of Westbourne has been invaded… not
