Danny and the Dinosaur: (I Can Read: Level 1)Danny goes to the museum where his wish comes true - a friendly dinosaur comes to life and spends the day playing with him.

Danny's mother died suddenly when he was only four months old and from then on he lived with his father in an old Gypsy vardo at the back of a filling station, where his father fixed cars. By the time Danny was seven years old, he was able to take apart, and then put back together, a switch motor.

Danny's father was convinced that Mr. Hazell was having these inspectors sent in to try and drive them out, and this made him furious.....

In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper.
