  From award-winning author Emily Jenkins and New York Times bestselling illustrator Harry Bliss comes the first book in a sweet, quirky chapter book series about a boy and his invisible friend, Inkling. Perfect for fans of Clementine and Ivy and Bean. This series is a great choice for emerging readers who are ready for chapter books.The thing about Hank's new friend Inkling is, he's invisible.No, not imaginary. Inkling is an invisible bandapat, a creature native to the Peruvian Woods of Mystery. (Or maybe it is the Ukrainian glaciers. Inkling hardly ever gets his stories straight.)Now Inkling has found his way into Hank's apartment on his quest for squash, a bandapat favorite. But Hank has bigger problems than helping Inkling fend off maniac doggies and searching for pumpkins: Bruno Gillicut is a lunch-stealing, dirtbug caveperson and he's got to be stopped. And who better to help stand up to a bully than an invisible friend?

  “I scraped off the wet clay with mounting excitement. There was no mistaking what I saw.”   What Mary Anning found in the cliffs in 1811, when she was 13, was the first complete fossil of an ichthyosaurus, a marine dinosaur. She hunted and sold fossils to save her family from poverty after her father died when she was 11 years old. Despite social disapproval of her unfeminine occupation, Mary persisted and became a leading fossilist who made valuable contributions to science.

  The three stars on the Tennessee flag represent the three cultural divisions of the state-the Grand Divisions -East, Middle, and West Tennessee. Though culturally distinct, the three Tennessees share a common history of exploitation of colonial lands by Spanish, French, and British claims. For many years Tennessee was under the dominion of these flags. With full-color illustrations, Flags of Tennessee examines the many flags that have flown over the state, including the Spanish Castile and Leon, the French fleur-de-lis, and the British Union Jack, as well as the flags of the United States. Also included are county flags, city flags, battle flags, and a detailed section on the flags of the Indian tribes who lived throughout the state. Each flag is accompanied by text describing its significance, history, and development. It is a perfect introduction to the fascinating history of the Volunteer State for readers eight and older. Devereaux Cannon lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He is also the author of The Flags of the Confederacy, The Flags of the Union, and The Wit and Wisdom of Robert E. Lee, all published by Pelican.
