The Mystery of Long Pine Key

William Hudson

Beschreibung

Tommy has a hard time making friends. All of his schoolmates think he’s a weirdo. And his best friend in the whole world just moved away at the beginning of the school year. And to make matters worse, it’s Spring Break in Homestead, Florida. Instead of going on a family camping trip to the mountains of North Carolina, twelve-year-old Tommy Higgins will have to spend the week at work with his Marine Biologist Mom and Park Ranger Dad in Everglades National Park.

As much as Tommy loves the park, he is not looking forward to a week of chores at the Long Pine Key campground. However, Tommy has a change of heart when he meets some new friends who are staying at the campground. But when things start to look up, items go missing around the campground, and Tommy and his friends soon find themselves on the trail of the thief, the target of a group of campground bullies known as The Rough Bunch.

Apollo 12 - Uncensored & Unfiltered

Dr. Elliott Haimoff

The Apollo 12 moon mission was the second manned mission to the lunar surface, but what made it unique was that all three astronauts on this particular mission were already good friends and navy buddies well before they became astronauts.  This audiobook provides the previously untold story of this mission by those who were actually there in that era, and contains the uncensored, unedited, unfiltered, and previously unreleased interviews with all three of these Apollo 12 astronauts – Commander Charles “Pete” Conrad, Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, and Command Module Pilot Richard “Dick” Gordon.  In addition, the interviews with many of the NASA officials of that Apollo-era, are also presented here.  All of these historical figures bring to the public their invaluable and collective recollections of this historic mission in their own words of those kinder gentler days at the pinnacle of America's technological superiority.   The introduction and epilogue was provided by Al Reinert, the Apollo historian and Oscar-nominated documentarian “For All Mankind”, as well the co-screenwriter for the Tom Hanks blockbuster “Apollo 13”.

Earnest Seaton: THE BIOGRAPHY OF...

Earnest Seaton

Wahb (meaning White Bear) is an orphaned Grizzly Bear who learns to respect his fears, fight for peace, and trust the healing powers of a stinky hot-spring. The story is aptly titled The Biography of a Grizzly because it is about the life of a Grizzly. Seton writes with a folksy tone that will enlighten children to the gore and war that Grizzly Bears endure. I thought it was fun to learn (through Wahb's story) about their life span, their diet, their ability to survive gunshots and bear-traps. Beautifully written, the author captures each moment in a way that you almost feel as though you're in the story. If a bear had the ability to write his story, in short, a legacy, this would surely be one that "bears" repeating
