DOWNLOAD EBOOKLand of the world's largest prairie chicken, birthplace of Spam, and home of the world's oldest rock, this is Minnesota, where summers are short, winters are long, and back-road wonders abound. This entertaining guide wastes no time with descriptions of scenic lakes, pristine bike trails, or quaint cafes. Instead it directs travelers (and residents) to the spot where Tiny Tim strummed his last notes on the ukulele; to the Cold Spring chapel where two grasshoppers bow down to the Virgin Mary; and to the McLeod County Museum, where the mummy on display could be from Peru or outer space. While ordinary tourists are fighting off mosquitoes in the Boundary Waters, oddball travelers can size up the world's largest ear of corn and admire the fourth Zamboni ever built. And one last thing: there aren't 10,000 lakes in Minnesota; there are 14,215. For travelers who are in search of the unusual, there is no better reason to park the bike and hiking boots in the garage, fill up the gas tank, and hit the road to Minnesota, where weirdness awaits.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of the 2021 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Move over, Spot. . . . Spoofing classic primers, Max the Dog talks back to the book in a twist that will have fans of funny early readers howling. See Max. Max is not a cat—Max is a dog. But much to Max’s dismay, the book keeps instructing readers to “see the cat.” How can Max get through to the book that he is a DOG? In a trio of stories for beginning readers, author David LaRochelle introduces the excitable Max, who lets the book know in irresistibly emphatic dialogue that the text is not to his liking. Illustrator Mike Wohnoutka hilariously depicts the pup’s reactions to the narrator and to the wacky cast of characters who upend Max’s—and readers’—expectations as the three stories build to an immensely satisfying conclusion. Hooray, Max, hooray!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnother time across the New Jersey Turnpike, but, this time its different. Its the beginning of a full cross trip, and high time - as a matter of fact, and sad to say, Its well past the time I should have gone. Way back, when we were both working, my wife and I followed this same route across the country, a section at a time. It took years. One time so far. Next time pick it up from where we left off and, again, go just so far. Section by section, vacation by vacation, trip after trip, and, after each, I would write about what we found, and research for the next trip. And, with respect, 9-11 and Katrina have virtually no part in any of this simply because they came later. The original plan was to have the two of us make this trip after retirement. Her health wasnt up to it. Last year, after fifty-one years of marriage, she died. Her name was Theresa, Terry to those of us who loved her. Our family grief is, and will remain, private. So thats the last word you will see on this sad event. Now, at age 77, Im by myself and off to complete the whole route of the trip

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Plea is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Kavinsky's role in capturing and bringing to justice a gang of drug smugglers terrorizing the Upper Midwest with drugs and death. Focusing on how drugs beget terrorism, the story features a pretty young Muslim woman who was the drug lord's companion planning terrorism at a giant shopping mall. She claims she's innocent and being denied a plea bargain promised by federal and local authorities by helping them capture the drug lord. However, her promise is ignored and she's locked up without charges and goes through a very complex hearing before a judge who is considered biased, despite Joe's efforts for fairness in her behalf. A "shady" lawyer is suspected of being paid off by the Taliban if she's deported back to them. But before the judge makes a decision, Kavinsky also becomes involved in the capture of another woman...the killer of Joe's police partner who also helped to round up the terrorists. All this poses the questions: How will the mistreated woman prisoner be judged? Who's the bad attorney? And who's the cop killer? The way this story unfolds...there are some very exciting and surprising answers!
