In this start to a hilarious middle-grade fantasy trilogy, Max Spencer discovers that a killer unicorn is hunting him.
It
wasn't Max Spencer's idea to fight robots, lead an army, or save the
world--it just so happens that he's the only living person who can read
the most fantastical book ever written: The Codex of Infinite
Knowability. The Codex is no ordinary book, and among other things, it
describes a unicorn named Princess the Destroyer.
Princess the
Destroyer is no ordinary unicorn. She loves nothing more than hunting
down, killing, and eating other creatures. After all, what's the point
of having a sharp horn on your forehead if you don't use it for
destructive purposes? And right now Princess has a very definite
purpose: Find Max and retrieve the lost Codex for an evil sorcerer and
his mysterious master. If she can do that, she's been promised an
all-the-humans-you-can-eat buffet in Texas.
Stuck in another
world and with a carnivorous unicorn on his trail, Max must find the
courage to save himself, his friends, and, oh yeah...the entire human
race.

My Life as a Cartoonist
There's a new kid in Derek Fallon's class. His name is Umberto and he
uses a wheelchair. Derek's family is still fostering Frank the monkey,
and Derek thinks it would be great to train Frank to assist Umberto. But
Derek quickly realizes that Umberto is definitely not looking for any
help. Derek soon becomes the butt of Umberto's jokes. On top of that,
Umberto starts stealing Derek's cartoon ideas and claiming them as his
own. How did Derek get himself into this mess, and how can he find a way
out before he is the laughingstock of school? The answer may very well
be his cartoon strip--SUPER FRANK!

Underwater Dogs
The exuberant, exhilarating photographs of dogs underwater that have
become a sensation From the water's surface, it's a simple exercise: a
dog's leap, a splash, and then a wet head surfacing with a ball,
triumphant.
But beneath the water is a chaotic ballet of bared teeth and bubbles, paddling paws, fur and ears billowing in the currents. From leaping Lab to diving Dachshund, the water is where a dog's distinct personality shines through; some lounge in the current, paddling slowly, but others arch their bodies to cut through the water with the focus and determination of a shark.
In more than eighty portraits, award-winning pet photographer and animal rights activist Seth Casteel captures new sides of our old friends with vibrant underwater photography that makes it impossible to look away. Each image bubbles with exuberance and life, a striking reminder that even in the most loveable and domesticated dog, there are more primal forces at work. In "Underwater Dogs," Seth Casteel gives playful and energetic testament to the rough-and-tumble joy that our dogs bring into our lives.
