The Parallax Factor
What if your life suddenly jump-starts at an airport, and you have no memory? (Parallax (noun): The effect where the position or direction of an object appears to differ.)This makes no sense. Fairbanks Alaska Airport?The ankle chains clink on the sidewalk as Bradock tries to shuffle his feet in half-steps. He looks down, seeing his restraints. Hmph, handcuffs, too? This is getting better and better.The two glass doors slide open in front of him, and he stumbles forward. Once inside, the hot air makes him lick his parched lips. An overwhelming thirst comes over him, like a sudden dust storm off the desert. What is happening?"That's far enough, scumbag."Something pulls hard on his shackled leggings. The marble floor comes up at him fast, his forearms taking the full force of his body weight. Pain; it's familiar, but he can't bring the memory in.Exhausted; he doesn't know why, but the fatigue is as clear as the throbbing pain in his arms."Get up!" the first voice demands.Bradock is yanked to his feet by his hair. A blunt shaft finds its way into his right kidney. The accompanying pain is becoming quite familiar now, but he's too tired to resist. He struggles forward, trying to maintain his balance.In front of him, he sees a mirrored glass hallway displaying the latest in men's cologne, women's fashions, and men's apparel. The other sections are divided into convenience shops and eateries.Oh, the smell of fresh coffee and cinnamon buns. It causes Bradock's stomach to cramp with a deep emptiness.Trudging along beside the glass display windows, Bradock catches sight of his reflection. He looks haggard, drawn, fatigued, and ... What's that ...? On my left cheek? The letter C, and inside the C is an upside-down cross, burnt into his cheek! I ... don't ... remember ... He raises his shackled hands to touch the scarred, mottled skin.Like the sound of a whip resonating through the air, something slashes down hard against his arm, sending a throbbing, shooting pain through his left side. It leaves his arm dangling, lifeless, without feeling, useless."Keep your hands where I can see them," the voice snarls.Bradock turns back towards the glass. He sees a face behind him. Just for a moment, his tormentor's image flashes in the reflection of the glass. I know him. His name ... I know this man. Yes-Dawson! That's it-Dawson. A shudder of cold streaks through Bradock's spine. Where do I know him from? Why am I here? None of this makes any sense! It's The Bourne Identity meets World War Z in this intense Sci-Fi, Suspense, Mystery Thriller.

The 156-Story Treehouse
New York Times-bestselling team Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton invite readers to come hang out with them in their 156-Story Treehouse--the twelfth book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry's signature slapstick humor! Andy and Terry live in a 156-story treehouse. (It used to be a 143-story treehouse, but they added 13 more levels.) It has a wishing well, a super-stinky stuff level, a bouldering alley (it's just like bowling, except you use boulders instead of balls), an enigma engine, a TV quiz show level hosted by Quizzy the quizzical robot, and the amazing mind-reading sandwich-making machine that knows exactly what sort of sandwich you want and makes it for you. It's the night before Christmas but Andy and Terry aren't ready yet! They haven't written their letters to Santa, they haven't sung any carols or hung their stockings, and now Mr. Big Nose wants their next book done by tomorrow. When Santa Claus's sleigh crash-lands in the treehouse, the reindeer become tangled in the branches and Santa falls into the cloning machine. With dozens of Santas running around and no way to tell which one's the real one, who's going to deliver all the presents? It's up to Andy, Terry, and Jill to work together to save Christmas--and maybe even finish their book on time! Praise for Andy Griffiths and the Treehouse series: "Anarchic absurdity at its best. . . . Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 13-Story Treehouse "Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. . . .

Wrecker
Wrecker needs to deal with smugglers, grave robbers, and pooping iguanas--just as soon as he finishes Zoom school. Another wild adventure in Carl Hiaasen's Florida, now in paperback! Valdez Jones VIII calls himself Wrecker because his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather salvaged shipwrecks for a living. So is it destiny, irony, or just bad luck when Wrecker comes across a speedboat that has run hard aground on a sand flat? The men in the boat don't want Wrecker to call for help--in fact, they'll pay him to forget he ever saw them. Wrecker would be happy to forget, but he keeps seeing these men all over Key West--at the marina, in the cemetery, even right outside his own door. And now they want more than his silence--they want a lookout. He'll have to dive deep into their shady dealings to figure out a way to escape this tangled net. . . .

Zelinsky bring exquisite life and adventure to this slyly funny and inventive picture book for fans of Christopher Denise's Knight Owl and Corinna Luyken's The Book of Mistakes. Every young artist has drawn or painted a still life scene. Perhaps it is a bowl of fruit, or a toy, or a vase of flowers, or a chair. The only rule is that a still life painting must stay still.But staying still is hard! Especially for a curious mouse and a hungry dragon and a no-nonsense princess. Will the artist notice that his still life painting is breaking all the rules?From award-winning author Alex London and Caldecott Medal-winning artist Paul O. Zelinsky, Still Life is a funny, subversive, and clever picture book that brings a painting to wildly imaginative life.
