  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 5 is the unforgettable conclusion to Steve Spencer’s beloved series of river adventures, where outdoor education meets laugh-out-loud storytelling. 
  Dr. Odell Buckenflush—part myth, part mischief, and entirely unforgettable—returns in a final collection of forty-eight tales that blend canoeing escapades, survival lessons, family misadventures, and tongue-in-cheek philosophy. From battling sudden floods in the Ozarks to surviving paddling mishaps that turn into life lessons, these chronicles remind us that the river is both a teacher and a trickster. 
  With every story followed by a reflective “Tale of the Tale,” readers see how real experiences inspired the adventures, making this book both educational and entertaining (edutainment) for paddlers, outdoor enthusiasts, camp leaders, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh about the unpredictability of nature—and human nature. 
  This volume also features a Glossary of River Terms (both accurate and comically reimagined), plus appendices linking places, themes, and recurring Buckenflush characters across the series.

  Once again, the cat must save the day 
   
   
   
  Ben who rides dragons is twice a hero. He's defeated all kinds of demons and learned how to transform into a chimera. That's powerful stuff for a mere cat. 
   
   
   
  Oh, how proud his ancestors would be if they saw him today. 
   
   
   
  In fact, he's far too powerful for Astravar, the mighty warlock and Ben's nemesis, who can't stand the thought of being defeated by a mere moggie. But now he has allied with the other warlocks and together they have a plan to destroy the kingdom. 
   
   
   
  Obviously, when the warlocks attack, everyone's going to turn to the mighty Dragoncat for help. That's the problem with being a hero, you see. When threats loom on the horizon, everyone expects said hero to step up to the plate and save the day. 
   
   
   
  Alas, war involves giving up a lot of home comforts, and Ben doesn't like that one bit.

  Adorably Dead

  A “Dead is the New Fabulous” Mystery (#3) 
  “Lindsay Maracotta has created in Lucy an exhilarating smart and sassy character. Her insider’s take crackles with fresh insight and laugh-out-loud one-liners.” —Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author 
  “Killingly amusing. Lindsay Maracotta wields the sharpest tongue since Nora Ephron banged out Heartburn. The book’s social observations are right on the money.” —The Chicago Tribune 
  Lucy Frampton lives amid the glitzy trappings of Los Angeles. Her friends enjoy intimate relationships with aroma therapists and body sculptors, and her neighbors' estates boast screening rooms and humidity-controlled wine cellars. The exclusive Windermere Academy, which her daughter, Chloe, attends, has a shrink on the payroll to lead "encounter sessions" when tiny tempests threaten the students' sunny days. And even bit players in the Windermere school pageants have publicists and agents. 
  But Lucy, a sensible, transplanted Midwesterner, keeps her sights down-to-earth. She's an outstanding mom, a sexy wife, and an animator whose career is rocketing. But then, in a flash, her perfect world of storyboard mornings and car-pool afternoons goes from romantic comedy to film noir. 
  Lucy's new nanny, Brandon, college friend—and onetime lover (but that's another story)—is shot dead while driving her husband's car. It's unclear who the intended victim was, but then Lucy stumbles upon something even more chilling: a video hidden among Brandon's things that shows a child committing a murder. 
  Though the authorities yawn, Lucy suspects the killer is cruising through classrooms and lunchrooms, as dewy-eyed innocent as any other kid. With a razor wit and a hilarious irreverence for the trappings of fame as her only weapons, Lucy launches a one-woman investigation, leading smack into the looking-glass world of child actors, where nine-year-olds can fire their own parents, where a child's smile commands top dollar—and a little killer is about to have the last laugh!
