No food! No electricity! No squeaky toys! Talk about roughing it! Oakdale is shut down during a blackout, and Joe's big chance to get noticed by the eighth grade basketball coach will be left in the dark-unless he and Wishbone can somehow hightail it across town to the game in time! Their adventure reminds Wishbone of Daniel Defoe's great tale Robinson Crusoe, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, tossed onto a desert isle without food, shelter, or friends. He soon finds himself battling nature, wild cats, and hungry cannibals. It will take every ounce of brains and courage this canine castaway has to beat the odds and save the day!

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

[Read by Traber Burns]Between 1819 and 1845, as veterans of the Revolutionary War were filing applications to receive pensions for their service, the government was surprised to learn that many of the soldiers were not men but boys, many of whom were under the age of sixteen and some even as young as nine. In Boy Soldiers, Caroline Cox reconstructs the lives and stories of this young subset of early American soldiers, focusing on how these boys came to join the army and what they actually did in service. Giving us a rich and unique glimpse into colonial childhood, Cox traces the evolution of youth in American culture in the late eighteenth century.

Gigi is a sweet, exuberantly playful young dog, dearly loved by her family and the children in her neighborhood. Then one day, with no warning, she suddenly finds herself abandoned and homeless. Alone, afraid, dodging danger and illness, she lives on the mean streets of Skid Row—until a mysterious man lures her into his car, turning her already scary existence into a nightmare. Tossed into a dark basement, chained, mistreated, Gigi has little hope—until she somehow finds her way back to freedom. Then she gets another chance—a chance to survive, and thrive, in the face of all hardships. Based in part on a true story, Gigi the Famous Rescue Dog is the inspirational tale of how one courageous canine overcomes every obstacle in a relentless search for a new home, and a family to love.
