Jess and the Fireplug Caper (The Twelve Candles Club #2)
by Elaine L. SchulteJess McColl had been looking forward to the first clowning practice of the Twelve Candles Club, but when the other club members arrived she was happy for another reason. She'd been home alone and was sure she'd heard noises. Just the sight of her wacko friends dressed in their clown outfits helped shake away the strange feeling of uneasiness that had settled over her room. Hoping to become an Olympic gymnast, Jess will provide the Twelve Candles Club with the cartwheels and backflips to make their clowning business a hit with the children they entertain. Her clown name of "Fireplug" promises to be an understatement. But a loud clanging noise in the back yard, weird phone calls, and the car alarm going off on Jess's mother's Mercedes lead to an unwanted mystery that Jess can't seem to escape. Is everything that's happening just a coincidence? What is the intruder really after? Best Friends Stick Together Even When Their Knees are Knocking!

Jesse James: The Wild West for Kids (Legends Of The Wild West Ser.)
by Adam WoogNotorious for his widely publicized bank and train robberies, Jesse James will forever be known as the American outlaw and gang leader. James began his infamous career during the Civil War, as part of a group of Confederate guerrilla fighters in his native state of Missouri. But as the war ended, James turned his life toward crime and soon became a man on the run from the law. Joined by his older brother, Frank, and another set of brothers, James became one of the leaders of the famous James-Younger gang. As a group, these bandits ruled the West, terrorizing banks, stagecoaches, and railroads. Although James was feverishly hunted, he was never taken prisoner by US law enforcement. Instead, his career as an American outlaw was cut short when he was betrayed and murdered by a member of his own gang: Robert Ford. Already a celebrity when he was alive, Jesse James became a legend after his unforeseen death. With exciting text, vivid photos, and historical relics, Jesse James, part of the Wild West for Kids series, teaches kids why this one outlaw still fascinates people more than a century later!
