  Dudley is a remarkable basset hound with distinctive black, tan, and white coloring, complete with charming black spots scattered across his white patches. His most striking features are his extraordinarily long ears that sweep the ground like silk scarves and his wonderfully saggy skin that gives him a noble, gentle expression. Living in a cozy cottage on Willowbrook Lane with his beloved mum and dad, Dudley embodies all the best qualities of his breed - he's stubborn yet loving, loyal beyond measure, and possesses an extraordinary nose that can detect scents from incredible distances. 
  Dudley's daily life is filled with simple pleasures: following his dad around the house like a devoted shadow, sleeping contentedly under Dad's favorite armchair while producing the most spectacular snores, and participating in evening howling concerts that delight the entire neighborhood. His deep, resonant bark makes him sound like a much larger dog, commanding respect from visitors and delivery drivers alike. Though he can be wonderfully stubborn when he sets his mind to something, his love for his family knows no bounds, and he greets everyone he meets with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. 
  The great adventure of Dudley's life begins on an ordinary Tuesday morning when his mum mysteriously disappears while working in the garden. After Dad's visual search proves fruitless, Dudley's extraordinary scenting abilities come to the rescue. Using his magnificent nose, he follows a complex trail through their long garden, past the greenhouse, vegetable beds, and apple trees, all the way to the potting shed at the very back of their property. 
  There, Dudley discovers that his beloved mum has become trapped inside the shed when the door mechanism jammed, leaving her unable to escape. His urgent barking alerts Dad to the location, and together they free Mum from her predicament. Dudley's heroic rescue makes him a neighborhood legend.

  The Progressive Presidents

  When William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, young Theodore Roosevelt was thrust into the presidency, one that would earn him a place on Mount Rushmore, Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” domestic policies favored average citizens while busting trusts and monopolies. Roosevelt also promoted conservation as an environmental stance, while his “speak softly and carry a big stick” foreign policy is still an oft used phrase today. Roosevelt even earned a Nobel Prize during his presidency.   
  As one of the most influential men of the 20th century, there is no shortage of adjectives to use when describing Woodrow Wilson’s two terms as president of the United States. Wilson was a pioneer of the Progressive movement both before and during his presidency, becoming a populist champion a generation before Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. He ran for reelection by touting his neutrality during World War I, only to lead his nation into the war and become the architect of a world body that would lead to greater inter-connection among nations. Today Wilson is best remembered for his Fourteen Points, one of the most forceful arguments for an idealistic foreign policy in American history. 
  Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by what was widely believed to be polio at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War. For over a decade, Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.

  “A joy to read!"" — New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix  
  What would you do if you accidentally brought a monster to life and set him loose on your town?  
  Adventurous and charming, this middle grade twist on Frankenstein features a precocious main character who does just that. Perfect for fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak and the Greenglass House series.  
  Frances Stenzel was just trying to prove her scientific worth to her parents so they would take her with them to their scientific symposiums for once—instead, she reawakened her great-grandfather’s secret and most terrible invention. 
  Before it can destroy the town, she sets off after it, with her pet chimp and sarcastic robot tutor by her side. But monster-hunting isn’t easy, and she’ll have to face a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship ahead—all while the trail for the monster goes cold and time is running out before her science career, and the city itself, are doomed forever. 
  Full of thrills and heart alike, Frances and the Monster takes readers through winding streets and over perilous rooftops, with wily monsters, unpredictable twists, and powerful friendships waiting along the way.

  A massive war in Minecraft's past will determine the fate of the present! 
   
  One hundred years in Minecraft’s past, foiled by a time-traveling Gameknight999, the evil virus Herobrine has gone mad with rage. Now determined to wipe every NPC alive off the server as punishment for meddling with his plans, he crafts a  
  new monster king to lead a devastating aerial assault. 
   
  Gameknight, his true identity still a secret, is stunned when a vicious ghast army, commanded by a terrifying monster that the User-that-is-not-a-user remembers all too well, arrives at the village he’s protecting and unleashes wave after wave of unthinkable terror. 
   
  With his army overpowered and outnumbered, Gameknight realizes they have no chance of defeating Herobrine and this new army out in the open Overworld. If he’s to save Minecraft from complete annihilation (which would destroy everyone  
  in the present day as well) he’ll need to turn the tables on his greatest nemesis. As the forces of darkness slowly close in around them, one question remains: Will he defeat this enemy before the future of Minecraft is changed forever?
