After finding an Aztec artifact, Eric Atl could control the element of water. Not soon after, he was thrust directly into the heart of a battle between Aztecs and the Listeners. Eric dared become a superhero and go up against the Listeners, a cult bent on world destruction, but in doing so, he lost much. He now lies in self-exile, heartbroken, abandoned, and waiting for the Listeners to fade away.However, hope is on the horizon. When Eric hears about another Aztec relic, the Omega Mist, he decides to take on the Listeners once more. If he can succeed, he may just be able to defeat the villains and save his city.If he can succeed, Water may return.

Waterman, also known as Eric Atl, has won the battle against the Listeners, but at a steep cost. Eric's friends and fellow Elementals (Jack, Joseph, and Melissa) are left to clean up the city and pick up the pieces.But the story is far from over. Something is stirring from the depths of the Elko City Pool. Someone is waiting for Melissa at Devine Falls. Somebody is planning to take down the Elementals - one by one.The Great Basin of Nevada plays host to a superheroic showdown for the ages in this final, suspenseful chronicle of Waterman's origins with "more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a blender on a helicopter caught in a tornado."

This detailed guide explores the historical development of algorithms and how they are used as a way of teaching computers to work through problems. Named for Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, modern algorithms and functions make programing more efficient. Algorithms are simplified for readers using words, flowcharts, and pseudo code to build a beginning understanding of algorithms and how they are used in our modern, computerized world. Young coders and STEM students are sure to strengthen their technical skills with an in-depth and fun exploration of this essential coding topic.

Usually we think of coding as something only trained experts and scientists can handle, but not any more thanks to programs like Python. First developed in 1991, Python uses lines of code, letters, and symbols, to create computer programs. Python is easier to read and takes fewer lines of code to accomplish tasks than some programming languages. Python’s creator, Guido van Rossum, wanted to create open-source software that used easy-to-understand coding text. His software allows even novice programmers to see results in a short amount of time. Vivid photographs, sidebars, and a graphic organizer help make this STEM-centric volume a dynamic learning experience.

George Boole, for whom Boolean logic is named, developed the idea of expressing any idea as a mathematical or logical statement. Today, Boolean logic is foundational to computer programs and computer hardware, but it is also important in our everyday thinking. This guide includes an overview of logic gates and a review of differences between computer logic and human logic. The author’s clever use of a famous movie line—“Lions and tigers and bears!”—truly helps make a potentially difficult topic easy to grasp for readers of all ages. Photographs, illustrations, and sidebars round out the educational experience.

For Henry Huggins and his friends Robert and Murph, a clubhouse is a place where they can do as they please, without being bothered by girls. The sign that says NO GIRLS ALLOWED -- THIS MEANS YOU especially means Ramona Quimby. Lately Ramona has been following Henry on his newspaper route, embarrassing him in front of Henry's customers. The day Ramona follows Henry to the clubhouse, she wants to teach him girls aren't so bad, but she almost puts an end to his newspaper career forever.
