Summary

When inventive Corin tweaks his grandfather’s drilling rig into a transparent soil core viewer, he and his friend Ayla unveil a hidden universe beneath their feet. Lowering their high-tech capsule, they witness earthworms aerating loam, clay layers preserving ancient pollen, and gravel beds channeling groundwater. Using homemade tensiometers and litmus strips, they chart moisture and pH—revealing how soil governs which plants thrive. When nearby construction begins to compact precious topsoil, Corin and Ayla present their stunning footage at a town council meeting, inspiring new protections. “Journey Under Soil” invites readers ages 5–10 to explore the dynamic world beneath each seed, stream, and soul.

    There once was a boy named Marcel, who was gifted at many things. He could draw anything. He could act. He could dance and move his body to imitate all kinds of animals and people; he could even become the wind! His family clapped and laughed when he performed. 
      
    But before Marcel could even grow up, his country was invaded by an enemy that meant to harm his people. Their lives were in danger. 
      
    So the boy used his art to forge documents to help others escape. He used his talent for acting and entertaining to lead children to freedom, pretending to be scouts on a trip. When soldiers questioned them, he performed so well that they too laughed and let them pass. 
      
    Such was the daring and incredible life of one small boy who became the most famous mime in the world—the man we know as Marcel Marceau!
