"I WANTED TO SERVE, TO BE PART OF THIS THING MY FATHER HAD GIVEN HIS LIFE FOR. I DIDN'T WANT THE WAR TO END, AND ALL I'D BE ABLE TO SAY WAS, NO I DIDN'T SERVE, I WAS RIGHT HERE THE WHOLE WAR, SAFE IN BAKERSFIELD." Adam Pelko witnessed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that killed his father, a lieutenant on the USS Arizona. Even though Adam is underage, he defies his mother's wishes and enlists in the Marines. Sent first to boot camp, then to Okinawa, he experiences the stark reality of war firsthand -- the camaraderie and the glory as well as the grueling regimen, the paralyzing fear, and death. And at every turn, Adam must confront memories of his father. In the concluding volume of his World War II trilogy, Harry Mazer masterfully illustrates Adam's journey as he navigates brutal circumstances that no boy should know.

The Cloak Society has risen and heroes will fall in the epic conclusion to the Cloak Society series—a thrilling middle grade trilogy that's perfect for fans of the Alex Rider Adventures and the 39 Clues. The Cloak Society has finally risen to power—by posing as the saviors of Sterling City. As long as the people believe Cloak's lies, Alex and his friends are all that stand in the way of total Cloak domination. But to bring Cloak to justice, Alex must make a final stand against his parents, his past, and the life of supervillainy he's always known. Praised by Publishers Weekly for its "rapid-fire, comic book–style action" and by School Library Journal for having "the same wide appeal as Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books," the Cloak Society trilogy delivers high-stakes battles, extraordinary superpowers, and an original twist on the superhero stories readers know and love. Can a villain ever truly become a hero? In this explosive series finale, the stakes are higher than ever—and the answer will be decided once and for all.

Celebrating educators, who go far above and beyond the call of duty, American Teacher shines a spotlight on one of the most underappreciated, undercompensated, yet critically important professions in the world. Over the course of two years, Katrina Fried has interviewed and written the stories of 50 extraordinary teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade, selected from public and charter schools across the United States. The result is a collection of inspiring and informative first person-narratives accompanied by heartfelt letters from students and captivating portraits taken by celebrated photographers from around the country such as Peter Feldstein, Roman Cho, Paul Natkin and Laura Straus. American Teacher introduces us to classroom heroes like Stephen Ritz of NYC's South Bronx, who uses sustainable agriculture as a tool to engage and inspire his neighborhood's most at-risk special-needs students; Rafe Esquith, a trail-blazing, multi-award-winning educator and author, who has spent 31years teaching 5th grade from within the same four walls at Hobart Elementary School in Los Angeles; and Iowan Sarah Brown Wessling who's unique "learner-centered" approach to teaching high school English earned her the 2010 National Teacher of the Year award. These are our most unsung heroes, the men and women responsible for molding and preparing our children to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In the face of increasing class sizes, insufficient resources, and budget cuts, many of our teachers are dipping into their own pockets and personal time to bridge the gap for their students; they are finding innovative and engaging solutions to institutional problems and changing the outcome of countless lives in the process. Hear their stories, see their faces, and join us as we pay tribute to their passion and sacrifice.

In high school, Eric Rieseberg's parents were advised their son should pursue a trade rather than go to college. Eight years later, at age twenty-six, he became the youngest-ever CEO of a community hospital. How? Eric sums it up in one word: "heroes." Eric grew up in a dysfunctional family with a military dad and a mom who suffered from mental illness. By the time his family moved to Manhasset, New York, a hamlet on the north shore of Long Island, Eric had moved seven times. He never particularly cared for textbooks, wasn't a studious kid, and never brought home a report card with an A on it. Manhasset High School has always ranked in the top one hundred high schools in the country, and the year Eric entered Manhasset High, it was ranked in the top ten. There he was: a non-academic young man who was suddenly injected into one of the best high schools in America. At Manhasset High School, Eric was introduced to lacrosse, and played on the school's championship team. As a lacrosse player, he endured the first of many "face plants," (literally and figuratively) he would have throughout his life. And it was also through lacrosse that Eric met his first hero. Throughout his life, Eric has been blessed to have five men in his life, his heroes, to whom he attributes his ability to recover from his many face plants. Each of his heroes came along at a tipping point in his life, and helped him overcome the odds and change the outcome that might have been. Heroes Alongside Us is both a tribute to the men who were the key to his success and a case for the crucial role of heroes. Written for guys and the women who love them, this book is both hilarious and heartbreaking, as Eric shares his story to exemplify how heroes help foster success-sometimes against all odds.
