Wicked Bugs (Young Readers Edition): The Meanest, Deadliest, Grossest Bugs on Earth
by Amy Stewart Briony Morrow-CribbsDid you know there are zombie bugs that not only eat other bugs but also inhabit and control their bodies? There’s even a wasp that delivers a perfectly-placed sting in a cockroach’s brain and then leads the roach around by its antennae — like a dog on a leash. Scorpions glow in ultraviolet light. Lots of bugs dine on corpses. And if you want to know how much it hurts to get stung by a bullet ant (hint: it really, really hurts), you can consult the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It ranks the pain produced by ants and other stinging creatures. How does it work? Dr. Schmidt, the scientist who created it, voluntarily subjected himself to the stings of 150 species. Organized into thematic categories (Everyday Dangers, Unwelcome Invaders, Destructive Pests, and Terrible Threats) and featuring full-color illustrations by Briony Morrow-Cribbs, Wicked Bugs is an educational and creepy-cool guide to the worst of the worst of insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. This is the young readers adaptation of Amy Stewart’s bestselling book for adult readers.
The Wicked Flea (A Dog Lover's Mystery #14)
by Susan ConantHolly Winter’s malamutes, Rowdy and Kimi, are as delightful a pair of canine companions as anyone could ask for. Less faithful is her ex-lover who left her with a bitter heart and over-priced therapy sessions. Add a bout with amnesia and trepidation over her father’s second marriage, and Holly is convinced that things can’t get worse. Until a walk in the park , pits Rowdy against a vicious golden retriever whose owner is no less so. How odd that such a gentle breed could be so nasty. Not so odd for humans. And not at all surprising when the owner is found murdered. Holly has no choice but step into the fray—for she knows better than anyone that killers are a cunning and clever breed.

How Louise deals with a father who suddenly closes his door at night, a mother who's a soap opera star, a stepmother who wears black basketball sneakers, and a Golden Retriever who prefers her breakfast to his own--along with the normal concerns of most twelve-year-olds (like a certain eighth-grader with the initials R. B.)--all make Louise Branford a heroine of a very special kind. Carol Lea Benjamin has written a sensitive, perceptive, and very funny novel about a restructured family--and about the pains and pleasures of growing up.

Chosen by Charles A. Eastman, who was raised as a Sioux in the 1870s and 1880s, the tales include such unforgettable characters as Unktomee, the sly one (much like Br'er Fox of the Uncle Remus stories); Chanotedah (an Indian brownie or gnome); and the cannibal giants Eya and Double-Face.

Wild About Horses: Our Timeless Passion for the Horse
by Lawrence ScanlanWhy do humans love horses, and why has this ancient love affair endured for so long? Horses, more than any other animal, have shaped the course of human history. The horse closed the gap between distant lands, changed the nature of the hunt, and altered the conduct of war. The bond that formed between humans and horses extends back more than six thousand years and continues today, stronger than ever. In this age of technology, it is a curious truth that many of us cannot get enough of horses: we watch them, ride them, read about them. Is this nostalgia for a simpler time, a time when at least you could count on your horse? Or is it something else, something much deeper? "Wild About Horses considers the question from many angles. Moving effortlessly from history to literature, from science to sport, from anecdote to personal experience, Lawrence Scanlan sets out to discover the essence of our powerful, almost mystical attraction to this noble creature. Scanlan covers a wide territory: from the mythic horses of cultures long past to the real-life whisperers of today, to the timeless wild mustangs still roaming the great plains. He tells stirring tales of famous horses, and of horses who should be famous. He chronicles some extraordinary journeys on horseback, and he examines the roles that horses have played both in battle and in Hollywood. As he touches on each aspect of the equine-human bond, Scanlan makes perfect sense of "horse fever"--that c
