Will Chester risk it all to right a wrong?Stretched to the limit, Chester questions whether his friendship with his shipmates, heaps of dry breakfast cereal, and the occasional butterscotch crumble will provide enough steam to keep them all going through the dark ages of plebe year-The Second Third.

Book Description
The Herndon Climb is an important and meaningful ritual in Naval Academy culture. Scaling the heavily greased, 21-foot tall Herndon Monument as a group at the very end of the year for "plebes," or freshmen, the Climb marks a major turning point in the lives of all Midshipmen, who are relieved of their low status at the moment they complete the task. The book is culled from interviews with more than fifty subjects, including participants in Climbs over the past six decades, with personal observations from the 2019 and 2018 events. Co-author James McNeal recalls the joyful pride of participating in the Climb as a plebe in 1983, and his experience helps bring vivid detail to the memories and reflections of his fellow Midshipmen. The book also includes a discussion of the career of William Lewis Herndon, whose heroic sacrifice at sea inspired the monument, and also traces the history and development of the modern Climb to its roots in the earliest plebe celebrations.

Midshipmouse First Class Chester and his band of rodents are tail-pumped to graduate from the Naval Mouse Academy and commission as officers in the fleet or the Corp. It is simply a matter of finishing strong in their final year of training, staying on top of the game, and achieving their goals at service and ship selection. Piece of cheese. But when the academic year begins, troubles crop up like mouse traps, and their leadership skills are put to the test.

Who knew the call to serve as warriors would arise so soon?Unaware of the midshipmouse training program, human midshipmen in the rooms below balance rigorous responsibilities with duties while giving one last push to rid their quarters ...of mice. Then the unthinkable happens and an unforeseen obstacle threatens Chester's own dreams for the future. Though the needs of the Navy come first, both brigades of mice and mids keep fingers and claws-crossed that three years of hard work will pay-off at service selection.Who gets their first choice, and who does not? Who earns their dream to weigh anchor on the salty sea and who will dive to the depths? Who will pursue their wings of gold, and who will be shaved bald between the ears?Time and tide will tell.

Book Description
One brave feline, exiled from her clan, must fight to survive in this PEN Award–winning author’s epic fantasy adventure about a tribe of prehistoric cats. Twenty-five million years in the past, a clan of sentient, prehistoric big cats called “the Named” have their own language, traditions, and law. Led by Meoran, the Named herd horses and deer for food. They keep order and peace, fending off predatory raiders—the UnNamed—from all sides. But, the battle has taken its toll, and the Named are skirting the edge of survival. Much to the displeasure of Meoran, a young female named Ratha discovers a powerful defense against the UnNamed. She calls it “the Red Tongue,” and it is a creature of incredible power. Red Tongue is fire, a force of both life and destruction that must be at once nurtured and tamed. Sensing that Ratha’s mastery of fire threatens his power, Meoran banishes her from the clan. As she travels out amongst the savage UnNamed, Ratha learns about both them and herself. But, her tribe needs her. Can she return? Will the Named survive constant attacks without the Red Tongue? Will the power of the Red Tongue change the clan forever? Acclaimed author Clare Bell crafts a serious coming-of-age story filled with adventure, triumph, and heartbreak. Perfect for readers of Jean M. Auel’s The Clan of the Cave Bear, Ratha’s Creature will have readers hooked and clamoring for more stories of these big, noble cats.
