The super dog contacts Coladeus, who is engaged in a mission far away. The Trianthian recruits Sparky and other heroes, along with the Golden Retriever’s human, Amy Pendergrass, to assist Elt and his friends. Elt, along with Sparky, the neighborhood pets, and Amy, must locate his former human, discover who is behind the canine transformations, confront the new species of hybrid canines, and transform these hybrids back to humans.

George Crumb


Book Description

George Crumb is a composer at the forefront of post-World War II American music, and never before has one volume combined a portrait of his life with a catalogue of his extensive work.

The biographical portion, written in close consultation with the subject, has resulted in perhaps the most complete and accurate biography currently in existence—an irreplaceable resource for anyone seeking a full understanding of 20th-century music.
