The Dragon Kingdom has been overrun by shadowy monsters! In their desperation, the dragons send for the only hero brave and clever enough to help them: a young boy named Edgar. Armed with nothing but a couple of tennis balls, the odd vegetable, and a few tricks that he learned in Sunday School, Edgar sets off on a perilous quest to help his scaly friends. But the dark invaders grow more powerful by the minute. Can Edgar and his friends defeat an enemy that no weapon can touch?

"Last Ride of the Iron Horse" tells the tale of Lou Gehrig's final year in the Yankee lineup, as he dealt with early effects of the deadly disease ALS. For much of the 1938 season, Gehrig -- dubbed the Iron Horse for his strength and reliability -- struggled with slumps and a mystifying loss of power. Fans booed and sportswriters called for him to be benched. Then, as the Yankees battled for the pennant in August, Lou began pounding home runs like his old self -- a turnaround that in retrospect looks truly miraculous. It may have been a rare case of temporary ALS reversal.Using rare film footage, radio broadcasts, newspapers and interviews, author Dan Joseph chronicles Gehrig's roller coaster of a year. The story begins in Hollywood, where the handsome "Larrupin' Lou" films a Western that would be his only movie. As the year unfolds, he holds out for baseball’s highest salary, battles injuries that would sideline a lesser man, wins his sixth World Series ring, and enters the political arena for the first time, denouncing the rising threat of Nazism.Joseph also answers questions that have long intrigued Gehrig's admirers: When did he sense something was wrong with his body? What were the first signs? How did he adjust? And did he still help the Yankees win the championship, even as his skills declined?1938 would be Gehrig's last hurrah. With his strength fading, he ended his renowned consecutive games streak the following May. A few weeks later, doctors at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed him with ALS. On July 4th, the Yankees retired his number in a ceremony at Yankee Stadium. All along, Gehrig showed remarkable courage and grace, never more so than when he told the stadium crowd, "I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."

Anger that is kept bottled up can affect your feelings and perception to various life challenges and realities. You may begin to feel unhappy and lose interest in things you used to take pleasure in, such as hobbies, school and, friends. Generally, negative emotions decrease our ability to reason. This happens because the brain is more focused on the emotional state of sadness or anger that is being felt instead of concentrating on making decisions or finding creative solutions.During the angry moment, you may do or say something you know is not right, things you know you will later regret. Amidst the tempest, you feel driven on and your inner man keeps telling you it is wrong, but you cannot just stop. Before you realize, the deed is done, you have hurt somebody you cherish, pushed them away, you need to fix the past, but you cannot.By making the effort to keep your anger in check, you and the people close to you will be happier in the long run.

Frank Boston, retired Air Force Pararescueman, experienced two separate incidents involving three back-to-back deaths early in his Air Force career. He concluded after the second incident that he has a strange power he calls nose-smell, a sort of mystic instinct of seeing who will die in a group of related deaths. He goes years without using his ability until a small girl drowns in a pond on the nearby Air Force Base. He knows two more water related deaths will soon follow. Frank’s mission: to identify the two future victims and prevent their death in the near future.

Colonization and exploration on a distant planet, Lumpo, has yielded a valuable new metal, Liptrite. Lightweight, shiny, and extremely strong, this new metal has brought both foundry mechanization and danger to the colony, as well as prosperity to the home world of Poppo. Death stalks the colony in the night. Nothing living outside in the dark hours can survive. Googles are everywhere. But where did they come from? What do they look like? No living being has encountered a Google and survived. They even eat each other when no prey can be found. Not even the native Gotoomps can recall the exact date that Googles were first reported. However, the arrival of the colonists seemed to predate the arrival of the uninvited killers. A young boy, Jo Hunnimuff, his family, and a friendly native Gotoomp uncover a secret that might pull the entire colony apart. Something has been buried in a remote area of the planet called the Nume Nock Area. It is policy in the colony to log any object that has been buried for tracing and protective purposes. However, no record exists for anything in the Nume Nocks. It is a remote and highly dangerous environment plagued with crystals and sharp sand spikes. Together, Jo and his Gotoomp friend Carddgo dig up the mysterious object. On the edge of the colony lies a swamp region with a mysterious stalk tower growing from its center. Swamp Grells and other creatures protect this area. Within the tower, live a young woman, Creeta, and a mysterious shrouded figure. These two practice the art of horticulture and have established a trade with the colony. No one has ever entered or been invited into the swamp tower. It is accepted by all as an off limits area. All except for one aggressive individual, Slernet Burtlebunker, who is adamant that she will build a tract of new colony homes in the swamp area while displacing Creeta. A fatal accident has occurred in Mine Number 3 while extracting the precious Liptrite ore
