Rick Brant and his friend Scotty are bound for the islands of the South Pacific. But beaches and the tropical climate are not what they have in mind. Deeper than divers have ever been lies the ancient temple of Alta-Yuan. Is the Spindrift's new experiment, the Submobile, capable of withstanding the pressures of the deep? If so, there may be others interested in using it for purposes other than scientific studies. Why is Captain Turk Mallane so anxious to make friends and why does the man with the broken nose keep turning up? Things are just going too smoothly for this adventure on the high seas. Join Rick and Scotty along with Hartson Brant, and Professors Gordon and Zircon as they are forced to defend themselves from a tribe of angry natives and mutineers.

SUPER BURP:The first day at a new school is always the hardest, right? No, not always as George finds out the hard way. On the second day at...Sugarman Elementary School, he is suddenly seized by uncontrollable burps, burps so loud they practically break the sound barrier, burps that make him do wild and crazy stuff and land him in trouble with a capital T. One thing is for sure: these are not normal burps, they are magic burps-and they must be stopped! But how? TROUBLE MAGNET: The annual talent show at Shirley S. Sugarman Elementary School is in just a few weeks, and George signs up to be a stagehand. He is determined to do a good job because the new, improved George is responsible and helpful and glad to pitch in. So is comic mayhem coming? Oh yeah, absolutely! But leave it to Nancy Krulik to devise an unexpected way for disaster to strike and bring down the curtain. WORD'S WORST WEDGIE: In his continuing but mainly disastrous efforts to be an upstanding, responsible ten-year-old, George Brown decides it's time to earn some money. (There's also an expensive remote-controlled toy that he's been coveting.) But no matter what he tries whether it's working at his mother's craft shop, opening a lemonade stand, or setting up a backyard circus for neighborhood kids the magic burps erupt at exactly the wrong times and wreak havoc on George's entrepreneurial plans.

"In the age of rockets and missles, the study of rocks and minerals is no less important - and in this colorful 'How and Why' science book, we see why it is so important. We learn that our modern age of rockets would not be possible without minerals from the earth's crust. We learn the answer to dozens of important questions about the earth's surface and the changes that take place in it". - Dr. Paul E. Blackwood
