You've heard of Horse Whisperers and Dog Whisperers, but Ellis thinks he might be a Worm Whisperer! Ellis Coffey loves animals. He spends so much time outdoors that sometimes he thinks he can talk with them. When he discovers a caterpillar that seems to follow his directions, he knows he has a chance to win the annual Woolly Worm race. The prize money is $1,000--exactly the amount of the deductible for his dad's back surgery. If Ellis is right and he can train his woolly worm to be the fastest in the county, he's sure can solve all his family's problems. But when you're trying to talk to insects, nothing is as simple as it seems. From Betty Hicks, author of the Gym Shorts series for new readers, comes a story of friendship, family, and hidden talents that might be more useful than they first seemed.

A crow-eyed peep into the backyard of a banking organization. An unusual portrayal of the life and times of an ordinary mortal and his subdued fight for survival Listen to the whisper of the worms to hear the muffled wail of humans on the run, lured by the carrot, forced by the stick An unbalnced account of gagged sentimentssubtly unfolding the naivety of petty minds. Also of nepotism and dehumanized value systems A moving story of the commercialized people in an imaginary country called Marcardia, portrayed brilliantly through their psyche and polity. Makes one think, laugh and get emotionally chocked. Blended finely into the main fabric are vivid shots of rustic life lifted out of a fading frame; sweet smell of paddy fields on blossomrhythmic splash of the wooden bucket in the farm well

Lucy and Charlie Tuttle agree on one thing: they’re committed to each other for life. Trouble is, neither of them expected life to look like this. While Charlie retired early, Lucy is devoted to a long-term career . . . until the day she has no choice. Forced to retire from her position as music educator in a small Midwestern K-8 school, Lucy can only watch helplessly as the program her father started years ago disintegrates before her eyes. As the music fades and a chasm separates her from the passion of her heart, Lucy wonders if her faith’s song has gone silent, too. The musical score of her life seems to be missing all the notes. When a simple misstep threatens to silence Lucy forever, a young boy and his soundless mother change the way she sees—and hears—everything.
