Ein Stein, a most inquisitive chipmunk, is also a very frustrated chipmunk. He loves peanuts and there just happens to be a peanut farm just across the river from his home! Nuts! How can he get to it? The little chipmunk tries several different ways to cross the river. Ein uses a boat and a lily pad, but all of his attempts end in failure. Discouraged, he is about to give up, when his father tells him the story of Robert The Bruce, a Scottish king who watched a spider try and fail six times before it could weave its web. Encouraged by the story, Ein tries again. He engineers an overhead wire, similar to the one he uses to cross his busy street, as a bridge. But how can he get the wire bridge across the river? Ein is stumped. But just like Robert The Bruce, Ein decides to never give up. He too watches a spider spin its web, and is inspired by nature's finest engineer. It is then that The Chipmunk Who Became an Engineer produces a step-by-step plan to cross the river. Will Project Peanuts succeed? Andrew Graham Frame is a retired chemical engineer who encourages young people to explore science careers. He grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and now lives in Sarnia, Ontario, with his wife, Bernice. This is the third book in a series.

Four friends are dismal students at most things they try - schoolwork, and particularly sports. When they all entered a race in the swimming carnival at the beginning of the year, the rest of the children criticised their poor performance. They went to their favourite spot by the river to get away from the rest of the school. It was there that they heard a dog barking on the island in the middle of the river where the water was the widest. They swam with great difficulty to the island to find out what was going on. They had to care for the dog and feed it. That meant swimming across the river to the island twice a day, every day, even in winter.

At fourteen, fraternal twins Gloria and Federica have won recognition as commander's brats, and their mother governs alongside their dad. Their parents now thrust the farm girls into the brats' elite world. Back in school after studying at home since twelve, the twins are anxious about a coming-of-age party still a year away. On that night, a fifteen-year-old young woman normally gives her date her virginity, and the twins want to wait for marriage. The eldest twin, Federica, tests her boyfriend by withholding kissing until the party. Holter complies way too easily, and she questions why. Further, she is growing more and more worried it's her turn to have a mystery illness, and she fears hers will kick her hard in her womanhood.Gloria sneaks around a ban on dating her AI. He dumps her, accusing her of falling for Holter. So what if they're tempted to neck behind her sister's back? They'd never betray Federica. Besides, Gloria and Holter are determined to keep their promise to be "bros forever."

Now seventeen, Gloria looks forward to celebrating that she remains cancer-free five years after defeating her brain tumor. But her farming community on the Martian Frontier has been under siege for five years, and they've run out of vital imports. Worse, the whole colony is in the path of a deadly dust storm. And the enemy putting them under siege sets a trap that threatens to wipe out Gloria's marriage to Holter, which isn't legally finalized until twenty. As-is, they struggle to adjust to their roles in marriage, miss their old roles as "bros forever," and Holter never got over losing her sister to celibacy. When Gloria's life on Mars shatters, her smartglasses also break. Her only hope of at least repairing her AI is a trip to Earth that she'd never return from.

On the Martian Frontier in 2084, a mystery illness threatens to kill twelve-year-old farm girl Gloria Patri Fowler Cruz. This provokes her dad, Mama's aristocrat ex-husband Peyton, to defy social class divisions that ripped him from his family. And Gloria's new, wearable medical device doesn't work without an artificial intelligence. She substitutes her entertainment AI, dressed as a digital dog, Jake. Her AI develops human qualities, thanks to magic that he believes comes from God. Gloria questions if she can trust her dad, Jake, or God. In the colony's capitol, Peyton's vice admiral father rules like a king, hates Mama's family, and will do anything to keep them out of the aristocracy. But politics is Dad's thing. Gloria would rather clobber her "bro forever," Holter Sloan. He has no time to play. He's too busy crushing on her fraternal twin!
