Audrey Wood's Napping House - now in a padded board book format

Now one of our bestselling books for children comes in a padded board book format, just right for the littlest reader you know.  Who wouldn't get a kick out of the peaceful rest of granny, child, dog, cat and mouse being disturbed by a tiny little flea who turns their "napping house" upside down?

A New Adventure with Gary Paulsen - Masters of Disaster

If you or your kids haven't met Gary Paulsen it's time you did!  This award winning author escaped an unfortunate family life at the age of 14 when he ran away from home and joined a traveling carnival.  Before that time a librarian had shown an interest in the young boy, introduced him to reading, and gotten him hooked.  Who knew he would become a famous author?

Masters of Disaster - his latest adventure - was released this week. 

Visit Gary's website here and listen to an interview with this master storyteller.

Tempe Brennan is back. . . 

John Lowery was declared dead in 1968--the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina. Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John Lowery. But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada? 

Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowery's grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis--to the headquarters of JPAC, the U.S. military's Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how "ex" is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowery's dog tags tangled among them. Three bodies--all identified as Lowery. 

And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulu's flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or something much more sinister?
