Book Description
Following an earthquake that destroys the White House and kills the entire executive branch of government, a news reporter claims, America is under attack. David Leone is a brilliant chemist in Washington, DC. He is the worlds youngest Nobel Prize winner, an honor he won for his work with molecular bonds; he lives a quiet life with his experiments until this so-called attack. Now, he is forced to leave his home as DC tries to recover. Martial law is declared. General Hugh Freeman of the United States Joint Council is appointed national leader. David is prepared to wait out the Washington evacuations, but he is soon approached by men who need his help. Apparently, the earthquake was no natural disaster. Creatures from the center of the earth have come to claim what they believe is theirs. Because of Davids knowledge, the government needs him to stop this unforeseen threat. Once a scientist, David is given a gun and expected to become a hero. But the creatures from below are clever. The military cant stop them, so it is up to David to find a way to save mankind, the Earth, and his own faith in the power of science.

Book Description
Dear Reader, This story is entirely true. It happened when Gus was two and Oskar was four, when we lived across the street from Muhlenberg College at 2625 Liberty Street in Allentown, PA. We often went across the street to the athletic center and played in the fields, or in the snow. It was a scary moment that I will always remember, but it had a lucky ending. Ever since then, I remind all of my students to walk with their hands free--never in their pockets--just in case they trip and fall.Liza

Pages : 112
Book Description
This humorous and heartfelt collection of Christmas tales reflects on the best of the holiday: family, tradition, binge drinking, divorce, and poop. Robert’s Hill (or The Time I Pooped My Snowsuit) and Other Christmas Stories is the perfect collection for Christmas in the real world. No talking snowman or cute woodland animal who saves Christmas (actually, there is a pigeon who steps in and saves the big day). This selection of heart-warming tales is about the true magic of the season: receiving the ultimate gift only to break it immediately; playing drinking games while watching a holiday special; getting divorced over what seemed like the perfect present. Robert’s Hill even settles the debate on which is the greatest Christmas movie ever made (that’s not it) and finally explains how the candy cane was invented (no one really knows, so why not make it up?). This collection will be enjoyed by everyone or, at least, anyone who still loves Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, missess the toys they had as a kid, and thinks pooping your snowsuit is funny.
