Sixth-grader Roderick Ringley has an obsession. He loves snow and can't get enough of the white, fluffy stuff. Happiest when he is cross-country skiing or clearing neighbors' pathways, Roderick wishes winter and the wonderland it creates would never end. When he stumbles upon an ancient Native American powder that holds the power to manipulate the weather over his hometown, Roderick thinks he has found the answer to his prayers. To Roderick, it's impossible to have too much of a good thing. Or is it? Set in the late 1970s, Clouds Go Wild is a timeless story of youthful ambition and hard-won lessons. Imbued with humor and sprinkled with colorful characters, it is novel that young readers won't soon forget.

A fun, different adventure for young children that will encourage them to look up - and to use their imagination. No one knows what goes on in the cloud - the real cloud. What if they plan and plot, up there in the air? What if one day, they decided to try and take over the whole sky? How do you fight a cloud? Apart from the cover (which is fake!) every image used in this book is an unretouched photograph of the sky, depicting it exactly as I and my eye (and my camera), saw it. Apart from cropping the images for layout and effect, they're all natural ingredients - not a thing has been added! I just wanted to see if I could tell a story of adventure, warmth, hope, and happiness using only the images nature gave me. You may judge if I got there!

The Sleeping Gypsy is an important collection of poems by an American writer who was only twenty-nine when awarded the coveted Prix de Rome in 1958. When George Garrett’s first collected verse, The Reverend Ghost and Other Poems, appeared in Scribner’s Poets of Today: IV, critics hailed the emergence of an authentic new talent of great promise. Babette Deutsch, writing in the New York Herald Tribune, said, “His poems are short, highly charged, and also, as he intended, clear. They move rapidly, without waste, exhibiting a lively skill and vigor in action.... His sensitive perceptivity makes his thoughtful insights more memorable.” Louise Bogan, writing in the New Yorker, said, “It is good to come upon [in Garrett’s work] an ordered brilliance and effects, long neglected, that link us to the ancient tradition of English ‘song.’” Readers will find in The Sleeping Gypsy all of the qualities that distinguished Garrett’s earlier collection of verse—the pointed, incisive writing, the abhorrence of “pretty” poetic words, the harsh impact of language that is, at the same time, strangely musical. Many will feel that, in this later work, these qualities have been enhanced and that Garrett’s advancing maturity indicates strongly that his early promise will be richly fulfilled.
