Snow Treasure is an exciting,

protecting their town's gold during the German occupation in 1940.
Convinced that the Germans will try to steal their town's
considerable wealth of gold bouillon from the banks, the townsmen
decide that it must be removed. Since a group of adults can't remove
the gold without the Germans finding out, the townsmen develop a
daring plan involving the children. In teams, the children will
carry the bouillon on their sleds down to the river where one of the
townsmen will load them onto his ship to take to the United States.

It has been said that one
can find the answers to all of life's mysteries in the Bible.
The Word of God is sufficient to meet all our needs. Finding
the answers requires at least a basic knowledge of the Bible.
The concordance is a topical index of key words that lead a scholar
to appropriate Bible verses. It is a valuable tool to finding
the answers in the Word of God. Concord Cunningham s a boy who
has discovered the value of a concordance and uses it to solve
mysteries in his community. His success brings him acclaim,
and the reputation as "Scripture Sleuth". Readers will be
challenged to solve the mysteries without the advantage of a
concordance, but Concord Cunningham will reveal the source of the
answer in Scripture. This is the first in a series.
Matthew Halverson is eager for young readers to discover how to find
God's answers to life's questions in the Bible.
Kimmel presents the legendary true story of the part-husky/part-wolf sled
dog that braved severe blizzard conditions to take antitoxin serum
to a remote Alaskan village in 1925. When the town was stricken by a
diphtheria epidemic, Balto overcame unbelievable obstacles to
accomplish what other dogs could not. This heroic canine has been
immortalized in statue, film, and now in a book that brings his
story to life. Kimmel's writing deftly combines geography, sled
racing, and historical background with the gripping true adventure of Balto's race to save lives.
Brimming with humor and adventure, this story is set during the Gold Rush. The fast-moving

butler, Praiseworthy, as they set out to strike it rich in order to
support the financially strapped and beloved Aunt Arabella. As Jack
and the loyal butler travel by sea and land, the pair meet a series
of memorable characters such as the daring, crusty sea Captain Swain
and the diabolical Cut-Eye Higgins.

Sterling's hand, instinctively washes everything before eating it.

hooking his claws onto the back screen door and head straight for
Sterling's bed! Virtually everywhere Sterling goes, Rascal is there,
and life is filled with one adventure after another.

this creation. The orphan Jemmy, is kept in his king's palace to
be thrashed for the offenses committed by the royal heir, known as
Prince Brat. It is forbidden to punish Brat, whose tricks multiply

him. As they get into and out of trouble on the outside, Jemmy hears
that he has been accused of abducting Brat. When the prince arranges
for their return to the palace, poor Jemmy fears the worst, but
things turn out for the best at the story's satisfying close.
