  Twelve-year-old Perigee has never met a problem they couldn’t solve. So when their dad’s spirits need raising, Perigee formulates The Plan: a road trip to Dad’s childhood home to reunite him with his estranged mother. There’s something in it for Perigee, too, as they will finally get to visit “Eklunds’ Puzzle House,” the mysterious bed-and-breakfast their grandparents built but never opened. 
   
  They arrive ahead of a massive storm, and the House immediately puts Perigee’s logical, science-loving mind to the test. Corridors shift. Strange paintings lurk in the shadows. Encoded messages abound. Despite Perigee’s best efforts, neither the House nor Grandma will give up their secrets. And worse, prickly Grandma has outlawed games and riddles of any kind. 
   
  Even the greatest of plans can crumble, and as new arguments fill the air, the House becomes truly dangerous. Deadly puzzles pop up at every turn, knives spin in the hallways, and staircases disappear. The answer lies at the heart of the House, but in order to find it, Perigee and their new friend Lily will need to solve a long-lost, decades-old riddle … if the House itself doesn’t stop them first. 
   
  “A deliciously fun adventure full of dangerous magic, secrets, and puzzles. I loved every moment of it!”—STEPHANIE BURGIS, author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and The Raven Heir

  The following story can be found in the bible in Genesis 4:1-16.  
  In the dawn of creation, when the earth was young and the sun kissed the horizon with golden light, there lived two brothers, Cain and Abel, sons of Adam and Eve. Raised in the fertile fields of Eden, their childhood was filled with laughter and innocence, their hearts untainted by the shadow of sin. 
  Cain, the elder brother, was a tiller of the soil, working the land with sweat and toil, while Abel, the younger, tended to the flocks with care and devotion. Despite their differences, the brothers shared a bond forged by blood and kinship, their lives intertwined like the roots of the ancient trees that dotted the landscape. 
  As they grew older, Cain and Abel presented offerings to the Lord, giving thanks for the bounty of the earth and the blessings of life. Cain brought forth the fruits of his labor, grains and vegetables grown from the fertile soil, while Abel offered the choicest lambs from his flock, their wooly coats gleaming in the sunlight.

  Wat Takes His Shot - The Life &...

  Growing up, Wat Misaka wasn’t the tallest kid on the basketball court, but he was fast and he loved the game! In his Japanese American basketball league, Wat dribbled with speed and shared the ball as much as he scored. Encouraged by his father to always do his best, Wat applied this mindset to every challenge in his life. 
   
  As Wat spent more time on the court, his passion for the game grew. He played in college at the University of Utah during WWII, a time when many Japanese Americans were stripped of their freedoms and incarcerated by the US government. Wat fought against racism and brought his best to every game. His team-player mentality made him shine on and off the court, and he became an inspiration to his Japanese American community. After helping his team win the national championship, Wat was drafted by the New York Knicks, making him the first non-white athlete to play in the NBA. 
   
  Wat’s motivational story of rising to a challenge and bringing your best to everything you do is a reminder of the power we each have to inspire others—if we just take our shot!

  I have desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy world, and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. I have therefore written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined.Many of the tales in this book were told me by one Paddy Flynn, a little bright-eyed old man, who lived in a leaky and one-roomed cabin in the village of Ballisodare. He was a great teller of tales, and unlike our common romancers, knew how to empty heaven, hell, and purgatory, faeryland and earth, to people his stories. He did not live in a shrunken world, but knew of no less ample circumstance than did Homer himself. Perhaps the Gaelic people shall by his like bring back again the ancient simplicity and amplitude of imagination.Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet. (W. B. Yeats)
