Gretel's parents are divorcing. Their constant ongoing conflict is tearing Gretel apart. She begins to sleepwalk while having nightmares about her favorite fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. The sleepwalking becomes more and more of a problem as Gretel sets fire to the house during one sleepwalking dream and wakes to find herself alone in the woods after another. It isn't until Gretel actually becomes lost in the wilderness that her parents really take notice. But is it too late?

Matt, 12, and his little brother, Sam, were hoping their space invaders kit would arrive that afternoon. The Varsnids, aliens living on earth to protect the young planet from the universe's worst predators, were sent a box of new weapons because a Lamprezoid ship would soon enter the Milky Way. The box that arrives on Matt and Sam's doorstep is not what they expected. When they take the items in the box on a planned camping trip with their friends that afternoon, they have no idea they have drawn the attention of the Lamprezoid predators. Can a small group of boys and girls save the earth?-------Parents: This book is language-free and adult-content-free. It does contain mild alien vs. primarily adult-human violence.It was created with the hope of giving middle-grade students a love of reading. (Maybe get them away from video games for a while.)

First Appearing in Louis L'Armour Western Magazine Kat Ballinger and Dance O'Leary are two of the worst villains that ever rode the west. Talented and highly intelligent con artists they left a wake of destruction wherever they went. All but one of the stories here follow the path of their crimes. But rather than being about Dance and Kat, these stories are about the courage and determination it takes for the duo's victims to make sense of and put back together their lives. In THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WILD LOVE a man learns a secret his wife has kept from him for many years: a secret that began when Kat sold him a bad horse and shot him when he tried to change his mind. In THE APPRENTICE NEWSPAPERMAN a young man learns about life and love in the wake of Kat and Dance's con. In THE STOLEN CHILD a couple whose young daughter was taken by Indians are approached by Kat and Dance who claim to be able to recover the daughter. A daughter the husband knows is dead. And finally SERPENT AT RATTLE LAKE is a good old-fashioned monster story which, as you will see, is entirely plausible.

A 15-year-old first-time hunter and her father go missing on the first day of hunting season: a wilderness guide whose only hope until now has been the ghost of his late wife, a wilderness hunt, an abandoned mine, a struggle to survive, a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a daring escape attempt with a killer giving chase.

In 1891 a farmer at Brockwood Lake reported a 40 foot serpent had carried off his 450 pound boar. In 1986 the serpent appeared again.

You don't need to understand Object-C to learn Swift 2 anymore. What you do need is new way of thinking. This book is the key. Swift is not a language that is intuitive for most C and C++ programmers. Swift is not Object-C. It is much more versatile, but the artifacts of Object-C make Swift a little more difficult to absorb. This book gives the C and C++ programmer an introduction to Swift in which you will need to know very little about Object-C to get yourself to a place where you can write programs in the language.
