The Last Treasure
by Janet S. AndersonWhen John Matthew Smith married Elizabeth Sullivan Smith in 1843, they had 13 children (including several sets of twins). Smith built 10 houses around a square of land, including 3 that were never lived in. Smith hid a valuable treasure in each of the unused houses, with a mystery and set of clues, for later generations to solve when in great financial need. Now is the last chance for the last treasure to be found. Without getting bogged down in the family lines, major relationships provide some of the mysteries. (A 2-page family tree was removed from this accessible format, but isn't needed to follow the story.) Why won't elderly Dwight and John talk to each other? Why did Zee's father run away with his infant son and not tell Zee any family history? How does Matthew fit in, if at all? And just how do they find this final treasure, and will it be worth the cost?

Flawed Dogs
by Berkeley BreathedPulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and children's picture book author Berkeley Breathed crafts a remarkable, hilarious, and yes, even poignant celebration of "flawed dogs": "The bent and plain,/ The unbalanced bod,/ The imperfect people/ And differently pawed." At the core of this "2004 Catalogue of the Piddleton Dog Pound's Very Available Leftovers" is Heidy Strudelberg, "Garbo, Joan of Arc, and Mother Teresa of the nation's unwanted dogs: a reclusive warrior-saint of poundpups." Breathed reveals how Heidy was ousted from the high-falutin' vanity dog breeding world when she awarded a muddy three-legged street mutt the Westminster Best in Show ribbon. Now, it seems, Heidy has retreated to the Vermont mountains to run the Last Chance Dog Pound, where defective dogs go for one more attempt at getting adopted. The bulk of Flawed Dogs, once you've laughed your way through the introductions and formalities, is a gallery of pathetic pups with accompanying verses. A picture of an extra-long Dachshund startling the dishes right out of her mistress's hands, is captioned thus: "Here's Sal, it seems no one wants her./ Her ends will stroll off and wander./ A long doggie weenie/ Of noisy linguine/ Sal barks at her butt way down yonder." Dog lovers will be all in a tizzy to get their hands on this crazy, wonderful salute to blemished beagles and faulty foxhounds everywhere. (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie Coulter
