Sinossi

Twelve-year-old Foster knows in his gut that Dax Ganey, the man dating his widowed mother, is a bad seed. Then a mysterious stranger arrives at their Alabama farm, a former Army Ranger in Iraq rambling across the country, and Foster believes he has found an ally against Dax. The stranger proves a fascinating mentor, full of wisdom and secrets. And Dax soon has reason to resent not just him and Foster but also Foster's mother. A spurned Dax will be a dangerous enemy, but Foster is increasingly aware that the stranger is just as dangerous, if not more so.From the author of one of the most highly acclaimed children's survival adventures of the last decade comes this tautly wound new novel reminiscent of classic westerns, about a boy caught in the middle of a clash that may turn out to be his own battle to fight.This title has Common Core connections.

    SHEB: The Woolly Mammoth

    SHEB: The Woolly Mammoth describes silly theories about how mammoth bones got to the island of Capri. One "scholar" proposed mammoths arrived via Noah's Ark. Another theorized that Capri mammoths weren't woolly at all; rather, they swam over since they were covered with down and had webbed feet. And a third scholar proposed a "Dumboesque" theory, envisioning that mammoths flew by flapping oversized ears. Given the ending developed by the two children, the story could possibly be categorized as "historical fiction." Mammoth bones were discovered on Capri early in the 20th century, and the accepted theory matches the one offered by the children.

    It Burns Me Up!

    Ray Bradbury

    Ray Bradbury delivers a razor-sharp, darkly humorous masterpiece in “It Burns Me Up!,” the tale of a murdered man who remains conscious as his lifeless body becomes the center of a chaotic, gossip-hungry spectacle. While detectives posture, reporters posture harder, neighbors gawk, and his wife performs her own brand of calculated innocence, the victim narrates the entire circus with eerie calm and unsettling clarity. The story unfolds as a portrait of human absurdity—how people behave when they believe the dead can’t hear them, and how the truth gets twisted long before the body grows cold. 
    This is Bradbury at his satirical best, delivering a noir-laced character study full of sharp observation and biting irony. The dead man watches the living reveal their flaws, their vanity, and their hunger for drama, until even his final journey to the crematory becomes one last cosmic punchline. 
    Ray Bradbury stands as one of the most influential voices in 20th-century speculative fiction. His work blends emotional truth with imaginative power, offering stories that probe the human condition while delivering unforgettable characters and atmosphere. Known for “The Martian Chronicles,” “Fahrenheit 451,” and “The Illustrated Man,” Bradbury’s stories continue to resonate with readers and listeners who crave thoughtful, character-driven tales. 
    His influence stretches across literature, film, and audio drama, and “It Burns Me Up!” demonstrates why his shorter works remain enduring classics. This is Bradbury in compact form—funny, unnerving, and brilliantly observant.
