Summary

A funny, sinister and thought-provoking comic thriller from the multimillion-copy selling author of Holes.  
  
If you go down to the woods today ... Well, every child knows NOT to, don't they?  
  
Tamaya is on a scholarship to the prestigious Woodridge Academy and every day she and seventh-grader Marshall walk to school together. They never go through the woods.  
  
When they arrive at school they stop talking to each other – because Marshall can't be seen to be friends with a little kid like Tamaya. Especially not with Chad around. Chad­the­bully, who makes Marshall's life utterly miserable. But today, hoping to avoid Chad, Marshall and Tamaya decide to go through the woods ... And what is waiting there for them is strange, sinister and entirely unexpected.  
  
The town is about to be turned upside down by the mysterious Fuzzy Mud ...

    Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has had a lot of success playing in tournaments and street ball. But now it’s time to try out for his school’s team. Amar’e is good enough to play with the older kids, and should probably be a starter. But the players that have been there the longest generally get the most playing time.

    A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.

One of the last things his father left him was a toy sheriff's badge, back when Maverick was little.

    Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey. There came a great spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.    
    This odd little nursery rhyme is familiar to us all but have you ever wondered, like I have, about what Miss Muffet was thinking as she sat dreamily eating her curds and whey?  And what are curds and whey, anyway? Her tuffet?  would that be a piece of furniture or a piece of her anatomy?  And of course the large spider, what was she thinking? I'll bet she was as scared as Miss Muffet !!   
      Well, Frank Baum, the beloved author of the Wizard of Oz series, finally tells us the whole story about Miss Muffet and her little known struggle for freedom from the many nursemaids who watched her constantly.  True, her parents were very rich but their sad little girl, Muffet, was never allowed to do anything fun at all like run in the grass or play in the mud as she longed to do.  Will she succeed? Listen and find out.
