Ernest Dempsey - 2019
Stuck at home just weeks before the new school year and with zero chance of even one last mini vacation, Desmond Elleryby is dying for some excitement. So are his two best friends, siblings Corin and Diego Townsend. They try entertaining themselves by learning to fly some of Desmond’s new drones, but nothing compares to their recent escapades in Italy and finding the lost treasure of Julius Caesar. So, when Diego learns that tantalizing artifacts from a homegrown American mystery lie close by in a local museum, the kids are bursting for one final adventure before school. Their task? Examine a group of ancient stones to find clues to the disappearance of an old English colony that vanished five hundred years ago from the North Carolina coast, the famous Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. Legend says one of those disappeared still speaks from beyond the grave in clues she left engraved on those rocks. Unfortunately for the kids, some very bad dudes stumble upon their mission: ruthless criminals who want to steal those same artifacts—and the hidden, powerful truth those relics might conceal. To outwit the enemy for a shot at solving this centuries-old riddle, Corin, Desmond, and Diego band together yet again as the Adventure Guild to ride out on another heart-stopping adventure. USA Today best-selling author Ernest Dempsey again joins up-and-coming writer Chandler Dempsey to expand their rich, vibrant world of ancient mysteries, hidden truths, and three of the youngest, bravest treasure hunters you’ve ever met: the Adventure Guild.

Tea Party Fairy Tales
James Finn Garner - 2012
His plan may have worked all too well. Now, to save us from creeping socialism, death panels and everything progressive, he has written the antidote, Tea Party Fairy Tales. In Tea Party Fairy Tales, Red Riding Hood stands up for her Second Amendment rights, the Little Match Girl defends the magic of the free market to her grave, and Jack of “Beanstalk” fame shows the moral decay of a life on the dole. For those who find these too long-winded, more than a dozen Aesop’s Fables have been reworked to illustrate the eternal truths of American conservatism in handy, shouting-points form. Tea Party Fairy Tales deserves a place on every young American’s nightstand, right next to the Rush Limbaugh plush doll and a Smith & Wesson automatic, to help prevent the destruction of everything good and true in American culture. “Wake up, Storybookland! Before it’s too late!”

The Scarlet Ibis: Poems
Susan Hahn - 2007
The resonance of this image grows through each section of the book as Hahn skillfully employs theme and variation, counterpoint and mirroring techniques. The ibis first appears as part of an illusion, the disappearing object in a magician’s trick, which then evokes the greatest disappearing act of all—death—where there are no tricks to bring about a reappearance. The rich complexity multiplies as the second section focuses on a disappearing lady and a dramatic final section brings together the bird and the lady in their common plight—both caged by their mortality, their assigned time and role. All of the illusions fall away during this brilliant denouement as the two voices share a dialogue on the power of metaphor as the very essence of poetry. bird trick iv It’s all about disappearance. About a bird in a cagewith a mirror, a simple twiston the handle at the sidethat makes it come and go at the magician’s insistence. It’s all about innocence.It’s all about acceptance.It’s all about compliance.It’s all about deference.It’s all about silence. It’s all about disappearance.
