Book Description
Hannah Hutchinson never dreams of becoming an amateur sleuth, but when she makes the gruesome discovery of a murder victim in her school, she feels forced into the role. She becomes the prime suspect in the resulting murder investigation when a connection is found between her and the victim. Seeing the evidence against her unfold, she is compelled to investigate on her own. Juggling the everyday ups and downs as a teacher of children with disabilities, she now finds her every spare moment devoted to her determined search for the truth. As the mystery unravels Hannah finds that instead of crossing suspects off her list she is continually adding names - and as her search deepens, she begins to suspect even those who she thought she could trust. She sees motives for murder all around her and finds herself taking bigger risks as she follows the trail. Just as she begins to see progress in her investigation, Hannah discovers a clue that no one else is aware of. Hiding this from the detectives and knowing that it will implicate her even further makes her feel that she may be arrested at any moment. She stumbles along one step ahead of the police and when she finally figures out who the killer is, she comes to the frightening realization that the murderer won't hesitate to kill again.

Book Description
Most of the people leading the United States of America graduated from the best colleges and universities, and you'd think they'd be capable of making wise decisions. But most of our founding fathers didn't attend Harvard, Yale or any other institution of higher learning; they made decisions using common sense-and perhaps a little help from God. Abraham Lincoln learned to read from the Bible. That's the kind of leadership we need today, but most politicians refuse to seek advice from the Lord or even the everyday Americans they're supposed to represent. We can't just blame them-we're the ones who sit back and allow them to make bad decisions. The first step to solving the problems we face before they overwhelm us begins with understanding them. Find out where we've gone wrong and how to do your part to get the country back on track in America! What Happened?

Book Description
Much has been written about the Little Rock School Crisis of 1957, but very little has been devoted to the following year—the Lost Year, 1958–59—when Little Rock schools were closed to all students, both black and white. Finding the Lost Year is the first book to look at the unresolved elements of the school desegregation crisis and how it turned into a community crisis, when policymakers thwarted desegregation and challenged the creation of a racially integrated community and when competing groups staked out agendas that set Arkansas’s capital on a path that has played out for the past fifty years. In Little Rock in 1958, 3,665 students were locked out of a free public education. Teachers’ lives were disrupted, but students’ lives were even more confused. Some were able to attend schools outside the city, some left the state, some joined the military, some took correspondence courses, but fully 50 percent of the black students went without any schooling. Drawing on personal interviews with over sixty former teachers and students, black and white, Gordy details the long-term consequences for students affected by events and circumstances over which they had little control.

Book Description
Bob Davis examines official high school history teaching and related government policies from the 1940s to the mid-1990s, providing essential background for those concerned with how history will be taught in the 21st century. Davis traces the demise of the old historiographical narrative of progress, the rise of an essentially content-free "skills"-based approach to education, and the emergence of the new orthodoxy of post-modern theory, identifying the weaknesses of each and suggesting fruitful directions for future development of history teaching. Whatever Happened to High School History? is a passionate and insightful account of crisis and decline in a subject that used to be the pillar of the secondary curriculum. An Our Schools/Our Selves book.
