  Man of Distinction - One Man...

  Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara - Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility? 
  The remarkable distinction of Thatcher Blitt did not come to the attention of a bemused world until late in the year 2180. Although Thatcher Blitt was, by the standards of his time, an extremely successful man financially, this was not considered real distinction. Unfortunately for Blitt, it never has been. 
  The history books do not record the names of the most successful merchants of the past unless they happened by chance to have been connected with famous men of the time. Thus Croesus is remembered largely for his contributions to famous Romans and successful armies. And Haym Solomon, a similarly wealthy man, would have been long forgotten had he not also been a financial mainstay of the American Revolution and consorted with famous, if impoverished, statesmen. 
  So if Thatcher Blitt was distinct among men, the distinction was not immediately apparent. He was a small, gaunt, fragile man who had the kind of face and bearing that are perfect for movie crowd scenes. Absolutely forgettable. Yet Thatcher Blitt was one of the foremost businessmen of his time. For he was president and founder of that noble institution, Genealogy, Inc. 
  Thatcher Blitt was not yet 25 when he made the discovery which was to make him among the richest men of his time. His discovery was, like all great ones, obvious yet profound. He observed that every person had a father.

  Meet Cat Douglas—monster hunter. A historical fantasy adventure set in Scotland and the first in a series by award-winning author Jane Yolen. 
   
  Cat Douglas is a monster hunter, and in the 1880s, the Scottish countryside is filled with monsters. In Ansthruther, one of the oldest villages of Fife, you can see small sea dragons swimming by looking like small Viking ships, but never anything bigger. . . until now. 
   
  When Maggie McGonagal races up to the schoolhouse screaming she’s seen a dragon, everyone is sure it is a trick of her imagination. But what if it’s real? What if a sea dragon has gotten beyond the wall that protects the village? The local chapter of a Scottish monster-hunting society called the Royal and Ancient, must prepare for battle, including Cat, who is new to the society, and will be the bait for the sea dragon! 
   
  Join Cat and her friends as they adventure through a fantastical and historical Scotland in this first installment of the Sea Monsters series. Graphic novel panels are interspersed throughout the novel, making it an engaging read and the three books in the series have collectible posters meant to be pieced together to create one big poster.

  This undead collection contains: 
  1. Peter Green and the Unliving Academy  
  Fourteen-year-old Peter Green can’t remember how he died.  
   All he has are his pajamas, a silk tie, and a one-way bus ticket to Mrs. Battisworth’s Academy and Haven for Unliving Boys and Girls, a strange and spooky school for dead orphans like himself. 
  As Pete learns to fit in with his new supernatural schoolmates, he starts to discover his own uniquely undead abilities, and even begins enjoying his life after death...but he just can’t shake the feeling that he’s forgotten something (or somebody!) important. Somebody he left behind in the land of the living. Somebody he loved very much. 
  Somebody who’s in terrible danger.  
  2. Peter Green and the Skeleton Crew 
  Breaking through the veil that separates the dead from the living was just the beginning.? 
  Peter Green’s exploits in the world of the Unliving have earned him quite the reputation, but some are still questioning if he’s the real deal. In fact, he’s not too sure himself if his first great and successful adventure wasn’t just… a stroke of luck, perhaps?? 
  However, he won’t get any time to figure it out – his uncle needs him and two new friends to venture out on a mission. And not just any mission… Vicious pirates, killer, shape-shifting mermaids, and danger unlike any they’ve ever faced await Peter and his friends. Failure is NOT an option.? 
  3. Peter Green and the Desert Disaster  
  Harnessing true power requires a sacrifice. 
  Pete thinks he understands this... until he's forced to face the consequences. 
  Barely having survived his last adventure, it isn’t long before Peter Green is cast into peril once more. Thankfully, he seems to be getting a grasp of his “Other” abilities – his magic abilities – and it's starting to give him an edge in the battle against the victims of the otherworld. 
  But what happens when disaster strikes where it hurts him the most, and I placed his new best friends in great danger?
