Book Description

For spring break, sixteen-year-old Maya travels from Vancouver to Palm Springs to visit her grandparents, soak up the sun and play some tennis. When they surprise her with tickets to the Indian Wells tennis tournament, she can't believe her luck. This is going to be the best vacation ever. But on the way back from the match they get into a fender bender. The other driver suggests they just square up and not involve the police or insurance companies. That seems odd to Maya, especially since the passenger of the other vehicle is visibly pregnant. But because Maya was driving, her grandfather is worried about repercussions and agrees to the deal. Later, Maya and her new friend Ruby discover that similar incidents have happened to others in her grandparents' gated community. They start to investigate, and when they spot the woman from the crash working in a clothing store, and clearly not pregnant, they know they are onto something. This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Book Description

The Exclamation Point! is an amazing phenomenon! The Exclamation Point! begins in a colonial square in the Bahia region of Brazil and then the run-on sentence races all over the world. The Exclamation Point! is a literary explosion that's married to music Afro-Brazalian drums and violent symphonies and exploding saxophones all give The Exclamation Point! its unstoppable fast-paced rhythm. The Exclamation Point! was originally a nearly 200,000 word run-on sentence that Wolf Larsen slashed and cut down to less than 70,000 words because Wolf hates to waste words. The Exclamation Point! mixes verse, music, modern dance, painting, and stories about traveling around the world to produce an exciting literary adventure that's unlike anything ever written.

Book Description

Essays in this volume demonstrate how science fiction can serve as a bridge between the sciences and the humanities. The essays show how early writers like Dante and Mary Shelley revealed a gradual shift toward a genuine understanding of science; how H.G. Wells first showed the possibilities of combining scientific and humanistic perspectives; how writers influenced by Gernsback's ideas, like Isaac Asimov, illustrated the ways that literature could interact with science and assist in its progress; and how more recent writers offer critiques of science and its practitioners.
