Learn what lurks inside a teenage mind and discover all that it has to offer. In the Eye of a Brainstorm unearths the limitless creativity of two classes worth of Honors English III students, and it does so with grace and elegance. Freed from the constraints of formal writing and assigned topics, the students chased ideas they loved and worked to generate stories that make them proud. No one story is the same, but all have the identical investment of inspiration and spirit. The students volunteered to publish In The Eye of a Brainstorm; no one forced them to do so, nor was a grade associated with their participation. What exists is truth and effort; therefore, read the stories for not only what they say, but, more importantly, to honor the effort it took to say it.

An ex-spy struggles to dismantle a dangerous conspiracy in this explosive suspense thriller from the author of the Mongo Mysteries. As a Naval intelligence officer stationed in the Middle East, Jade Aden was trusted with secrets that would leave most people shaking in their boots. But after the fallout from an incident during Desert Storm forced her into early retirement, Jade made a new, more pedestrian life for herself and her two children in the picturesque town of Cairn-on-the-Hudson, New York. Employed as a river keeper, Jade monitors pollution created by weekend boaters and commercial tankers. But when something strange surfaces in the river, Jade’s dangerous past is dredged up once more. She knows the object strapped to a dead sea lion is a mine from a top-secret weapons system supposedly canceled years ago. Because it was highly classified, Jade is forced to feign ignorance, but her silence soon leads to death and destruction. Determined to do the right thing, Jade must face off against forces willing to kill to protect their own despicable interests.

Circus-performer-turned-PI Mongo takes on “the CIA, neo-Nazis, and Haitian voodoo terrorists” in a grand finale that is “even more fun than usual” (Booklist). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Investigating illegal CIA activities in Haiti leads Mongo and his brother, former NYPD cop Garth Frederickson, to a grisly discovery: five victims of voodoo ritual sacrifice. But that’s just the first surprise. Soon they uncover a wildly ambitious assassination plot that not only puts them in the cross hairs but also has the potential to change the fate of the United States forever . . . Employing his “unlimited imagination” and talent for creating “terrific suspense” in the Mongo mystery series, author George C. Chesbro delivers a climax that pulls out all the stops (Publishers Weekly). Dream of a Falling Eagle is the 14th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Inspired by true events, Brainstorm chronicles a handicapped family's struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. A story of personal transformation, it documents their life-and-death struggles and their ability to give so much when they have so little. Their plight is set in stark contrast to the materialism of contemporary society and the ridicule and social rejection they suffer as a result of their handicaps--short term memory loss and epilepsy. Garnet Dewitt has been having epileptic seizures for as long as he can remember--some so severe he wakes up in the hospital bruised and battered with no recollection of what happened. Finally, doctors are able to isolate the area of his brain responsible for the seizures. But during surgery, something goes terribly wrong and it's unclear if he will ever recover. In the meantime, his handicapped wife Ella, struggling with rejection and dwindling finances, has a terrible fall that lands her in hospital and doctors discover she has a brain tumor that must be operated on immediately. But, she slips into a coma and enters a dark and eerily surreal world. Debbie Dupree, a successful realtor and the epitome of a capitalist machine, is her only hope for survival. Debbie starts helping them to ease her guilty conscience just as her own life begins to unravel. But is she too late?
