When you're done telling stories, where do they go? Usually, stories stay in black and white on the page where they were written. For Eva, stories literally come to life in a colorful new land--all because of her magical portal pen. When the pen is lost, Eva and her friends search out the Adventure Man to get it back. But that means entering this magical world of stories. And that means an adventure like no other.

Languages make us human. The ability to communicate and be understood through songs, art, words, inscriptions, or even gestures is essential because we, as a species, cannot live in isolation. And each one of these languages has its own journey. Early humans leaving messages on cave walls; three men on a raft stumbling upon a language they weren't looking for; a secret language that evolved to hide a people; the world's only undeciphered language that is 4000 years old. The stories in this book take you from the northeastern-most tip of our country to the forests in central India, from indigenous languages that are thousands of years old to those that have developed recently. Engrossing, entertaining, and packed with trivia, this book is for non-fiction lovers and students, who have a keen interest in all things India!

A complete collection of Galloway Gallegher stories from “one of the major names in science fiction” (The New York Times). In this comprehensive collection, Henry Kuttner is back with Galloway Gallegher, his most beloved character in the stories that helped make him famous. Gallegher is a binge-drinking scientist who’s a genius when drunk and totally clueless sober. Hounded by creditors and government officials, he wakes from each bender to discover a new invention designed to solve all his problems—if only he knew how it worked . . . Add a vain and uncooperative robot assistant, a heckling grandfather, and a host of uninvited guests—from rabbit-like aliens to time-traveling mafia lawyers to his own future corpse—and Gallegher has more on his hands than even he can handle. Time for another drink! “[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.” —Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 421

A powerful and violent crime fiction novel from an iconic author and “one of the major names in science fiction” (The New York Times). Nick Banning was a man drowning in a land of far-off horizons, a land that had all the vigor sucked out of it ages ago by the Arizona sun. But it wasn’t the blasting heat of southwestern desert that bothered Nick—it was the heat of his own emotions, his desire for Sherry, the woman who had told him no. But Nick was winding up, faster and faster. He meant to have Sherry—or else. “[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.” —Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 421
