Shivers and Shakes
It was the brochure that got them into it. When Salt and Pepper’s school play is chosen to be performed at an international festival in Scotland, the dynamic duo immediately start looking for ways to occupy their free time. For once, Salt is convinced that nothing can go wrong. And nothing does…
until they see the brochure. During a tour of an underground part of the city that is centuries old, Salt is approached by two ghosts, an old man and a little girl. Their plea? Find and help Stephen Beecombe. But who and where is Stephen Beecombe? And what kind of help does he need? Finding the answers to those questions takes Salt, Pepper, and endlessly annoying little brother Hal on a journey to a ghostly meeting where everyone is Stephen Beecombe, into a tunnel populated by werewolves, and to a face to face confrontation with the very dangerous man with wooden teeth. It’s all part of Salt and Pepper’s wildest adventure yet!

When Curt sees Judy making a transaction with some troublemakers outside Lawrence High, he discovers that Judy has a much bigger problem than her physical handicap.

But the bonds of friendship become strained when Alex learns of Kelly’s connection with The Devil s Platoon, a gang with a bad reputation. As Kelly rides for Lawrence High at the Regional Rodeo Finals, a lot more than a silver buckle is at stake in this engaging story of competition and comradeship.

At Lawrence, sports are the biggest thing going, and being a musician is the furthest thing from the minds of most students. Jeremy van Pelt is an exceptional violinist, and Brad finds himself liking the kid, despite the violin thing. As Brad gets to know Jeremy better, he learns what being a true champion means on and off the field.
Wild Thing

At the zoo, Eddie meets Jack, a middle aged man who s been coming to the zoo s playground every day for the last 32 years just to watch the children.

Numbers
Fifteen year old Andy Crockett wouldn t call himself the luckiest kid on Earth. At home, his brother got all the looks and all the smarts. And at school, he doesn t fit with any of the groups the goths, the athletes, or the brains. Even those misfits, The Six, are not exactly welcoming. But with a new school year starting, Andy thinks his luck may be changing. Parkerville isn’t the coolest school, but at least Mr. Retzlaff, his tenth grade social teacher, is cool. This class is awesome from day one. Covering World War II, Hitler, and the Holocaust, Mr. R. urges students to question everything they see and hear. It’s the one class Andy wants to ace if only to make Mr. R. proud. But before long, he starts to realize that Mr. R.’s version of history doesn’t quite match everyone else’s, and that succeeding in this class may cost more than he’s willing to pay. David Poulsen’s gripping plot, realistic characters, and enduring themes make Numbers one of his best novels to date.

Wild Ride!
Three people each on a journey and living life eight seconds at a time. Despite ever present danger, insufficient pay and endless miles down unfamiliar, often unfriendly highways, it’s a journey they love. Wild Ride! takes readers on the road, into the arena and onto the backs of bucking broncs, hard running horses and cantankerous bulls in an often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always candid look at the lives of a trio of rodeo’s most successful stars. Barrel racer Monica Wilson, bull rider Kelly Armstrong and saddle bronc rider Duane Daines share their greatest triumphs and darkest hours. While most of us mutter, ‘Nothing could make me do that,’ Wild Ride! allows us to understand why these three could never want to do anything else.
