Dog Called Grk, A

Author: Doder, JoshuaPart of a Series: Grk

When Tim is followed home by a dog on the street, he’s determined to find out who the friendly stray belongs to. But with a little investigating, Tim discovers that Grk’s owners don’t live in his town, or even in his country. Max and Natascha Raffifi, Grk’s owners, have been kidnapped with their ambassador parents by the evil Colonel Zinfandel and taken to a prison in Eastern Europe! Tim knows he’s about to undertake a mission his parents wouldn’t exactly approve of. He sneaks out of the house in the middle of the night with Grk, catches a taxi to the airport, then hops a plane to Stanislavia. Together he and Grk will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter, and make a nail-biting run for the border in this high-octane, international adventure.

Cross-Country Treasure Hunt (and the Mystery That Followed)

Author: Lepkowski, Gwen

It began with an unexpected letter in the mail. Now Josh Reed and his family are in for the adventure of a lifetime when they agree to go on the ultimate treasure hunt. They must follow the clues which will lead them across the United States to see the wonders of Gods creation, including many national parks and national monuments. When challenges arise and dangers threaten, will their faith in God and help from each other be enough? At the end a treasure waits, but will what they find along the way be even more valuable? Josh, an eleven-year-old detective in the making, has a question of his own. Is it his imagination, or is someone following them? Help Josh and his family decipher the clues, record their journey through the states on a map, and solve a mystery as well. Gwen Lepkowski is an experienced teacher and storyteller. She earned her masters degree in education from SUNY at Buffalo and her bachelors degree in education from Houghton College. She has always loved to write and finds writing for children has naturally developed out of her education and experiences. This story, although fiction, grew out of a real-life adventure in which she and her family camped across America. Gwen resides in upstate New York, with her husband, Paul, and two sons.

Accompanying him are Nisha, a headstrong but resourceful child of the streets, and a mysterious man of indeterminate age and surprising resources named Abadhyatta.

Grandfather’s Journey

Author: Say, Allen

Lyrical, breathtaking, splendid—words used to describe Allen Say’s Grandfather’s Journey when it was first published.

At once deeply personal yet expressing universally held emotions, this tale of one man’s love for two countries and his constant desire to be in both places captured readers’ attention and hearts. Winner of the 1994 Caldecott Medal, it remains as historically relevant and emotionally engaging as ever.

Journey to Rhyolite

Author: Bartholomew, Steve

Nathaniel had his reasons for making the long journey from Maryland to Rhyolite, Nevada. With a population of ten thousand and growing fast, it was the greatest boom town in the west. He hoped to find what had been taken from him-taken by the snallygaster. Some believed it was simply an old legend, this snallygaster that could snatch away whatever you most valued when your back was turned. Nathanial knew better. It had taken away Annabelle, the love of his life, and he had reason to believe she might be there.
