This exciting sequel to Marcus Pfister's best-selling Milo and the Magical Stones returns!
When Milo, the cliff mouse, and his friends discover an island inhabited by striped mice, they have to make a choice. Will Milo and the cliff mice share their treasures or will they hide them away for themselves? It's up to the reader to decide in this alternate-ending story that splits into two sections, each offering a different ending. This thought-provoking story, with the book's unique format, actively involves children in the decision-making process.
Today's kids face grave issues and harder decisions than ever before. Gang warfare, violence, drugs, alcohol, smoking, pregnancy, depression and suicide have found their way into middle and elementary schools. Divorce splits apart families every day. These issues make kids feel as if they must understand and accept all the troubles of the world.
Mystery writer Nancy Bell, author of the highly acclaimed Biggie Weatherford series, introduced a new series with Restored to Death: A Judge Jackson Crain Mystery. The reviewers were delighted. Now Judge Crain is back. In the second Judge Jackson Crain Mystery, Joe Junior McBride, beloved barber of Post Oak, Texas, has been murdered. At first glance, the homicide appears to be the work of a prowler, but as the investigation progresses, Joe Junior's second wife, Marlene Ashburn, becomes the prime suspect.
