Like most interplanetary incidents, it started with a misunderstanding about sandwiches. Then it just gets crazy. Jump into this fast, riotous space-romp and join Captain Seijin, Engineer Poxner and their crewmates as they search the galaxy for a new home planet. That is, unless the bloodthirsty Crocodiles catch up to them. There will be purple monsters, dungeons, cotton candy and other perilous encounters. Omeek learns magic swords are best left alone (but he doesn't). Kiku fearlessly battles a crocodile (spoiler: rocks had to be involved). Poxner will also learn that being a hero involves a lot of falling down, (and not a small amount of screaming) unfortunately. There's a massive chase-fight into an asteroid field where the chickens are massively outnumbered by the dreaded crocodiles. Just how much excitement can you throw at a chicken in space?If you miss the humor of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, and just feel you want more of that wit and adventure, this book is for you. Or if you wished David Barry would make more funny nonfiction. Or if you just want a good funny book, this one's definitely for you.

The Maya Empire became a thriving civilization between the third century and the seventh century CE, but by 900 CE war, drought, and disease wiped out most of its cities and the Mayan people were greatly reduced. Unfortunately, the greatest threat to their existence was yet to come, when the Guatemalan genocide would decimate those who remained in the 1970s and '80s. The facts of the Mayans' story will be intertwined with profiles of individuals and in-depth looks at related topics. Readers will learn how to help those faced with genocide and understand a history that could otherwise repeat itself.
