Dinosaur : Dinosaurs And Other Amazing Prehistoric Creatures As You've Never Seen Them Before

This fully revised edition of Knowledge Encyclopedia: Dinosaur! is loaded with more than 60 prehistoric creatures, from the age of dinosaurs to the Ice Age. Did you know that Velociraptor had three large "killer claws" on each foot to hunt down prey? Or that the long-necked Diplodocus was as long as three school buses? Can you imagine what a strange life it would be for Saltasaurus with no toes on their front feet? Would you believe that Carcharodon megalodon was an ocean monster with a fearsome bite at least six times stronger than today's great white shark?

The Book Witch

Shaffer, Meg.

Rainy March is a proud, third-generation Book Witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps in and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and rogue heroes like a modern-day magical Nancy Drew. Book Witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real world; fictional characters belong in works of fiction. Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don't even think about it. Which is why Rainy has been forbidden from seeing the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite mystery series. If she's ever caught with him again, she'll be expelled from her book coven--and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name. But when her beloved grandfather disappears and a priceless book is stolen, there's only one person she trusts to help her solve the case: the Duke. Their quest takes them through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, King Arthur, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

Messner, Kate,

Finn Connelly's dad was a hero. A firefighter who saved lives on 9/11. He scored big goals and made headlines. Although he died two years ago, people will never forget him. Finn is no hero.

Turns out that grave belongs to one of the first women to climb all the Adirondack High Peaks. But the woman's daughter makes Finn a deal: climb all 46 peaks this summer with her dog, and she won't press charges. Miles on the trails means lots of time to think: About how being a hero troubled his dad. And how it's tough to miss someone you didn't totally understand. As Finn climbs each peak, he begins to see more about himself than he ever expected.
