Tommy Wilson never wanted to come to Thunder Bay. It was all his father’s idea. After his mother died, his father decided they should start anew in this small coastal town. Life as the new kid in Thunder Bay was either boring or dangerous for Tommy. He either had nothing to do or was harassed by the local bully, Kurt Jarvis, and his goons. With the perils of starting high school only a week away, Tommy decided his only way out was to get a photo of the Thunder Bay Monster and collect the one million dollar reward. Tommy ends up getting more than a photograph of the legendary Thunder Bay Monster; he becomes its friend. The monster is actually a being from the underwater metropolis of Lerna with the codename Ocky. He has come to the surface in search of the people responsible for poisoning his underwater environment with toxic waste. Together, Ocky and Tommy spend the last week of Tommy’s school holidays on the trail of the illegal activities of a chemical company that is dumping toxic waste into the ocean.

Imagine if Billboard compiled a list of the top 100 poems, chosen not by critics or professors but by the people themselves. That's the concept behind The Classic Fifty, and it works brilliantly. William Harmon found the 100 most anthologized poems in English, based on the ninth edition of The Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry--the most objective measurement of greatness available, representing consensus among the editors of some 400 anthologies. Then he put them in order and prefaced each one with concise, erudite, often humorous commentary. The range of poets, subjects and forms--from Shakespeare to Frost, from love and death to crime and punishment, from sonnets to odes--makes this an entertaining, enlightening, and indispensable aural guide to the finest verse in the English language.
