The only thing harder than making a name for yourself in the sixth grade is making a name for yourself in the sixth grade. Andrew Offerman and his best friend, Bo Jennings, have just begun to figure that out as they make their way through the chaotic world of middle school. Live every exciting moment of Andrew's sixth grade year as he fends off a daily barrage of verbal assaults from his older sister, Sophia; grapples with his flatulent archenemy, Johnny Gaston; hustles his parental field generals, Frank and Bella; and toys with his next door neighbor and principal, Mr. Fairchild.“The Andrew Offerman Chronicles” are a lighthearted, very funny glimpse into the mind of an eleven year old boy who yearns to be an adult and is much smarter than he thinks. In "Taming the Beast" Andrew and Bo have to figure out how to get themselves out of Sophia's cross hairs before she tells the world about their previous misdeeds. There is just one problem. Once the beast sets her sights on you, she won't look away. Not even for a second.

In the great oral tradition of the Lakota people, author Joseph M. Marshall III shares the compelling history of a man, a tribe, and a legacy of courage and endurance.Tasunke Witko, or Crazy Horse, as he is often remembered, brought the U.S. Army to its knees in 1876. His valor and leadership elevated him to legendary status among Native American people; in this riveting biography, Joseph Marshall (himself a Lakota Indian) combines firsthand research and a rich oral history to offer a fully-faceted portrait of the spirited warrior and revered hero, and a profound celebration of an enduring culture.When Marshall was a child, his grandfather and great uncles would tell vivid tales of the Battle of Little Bighorn as if the decisive battle had happened only the day before; his research for this book included in-depth, lengthy conversations with elderly storytellers who describe details and perspectives that could only come from firsthand accounts. The Journey of Crazy Horse is a unique opportunity to hear legends of a great man as they have told for generations—and rarely shared outside the Native American community.
