  Lost in the woods... Bayport High's Green Environment Conservation Club is camping on Black Bear Mountain. Not only does the mountain live up to its name — the fierce, furry animals are everywhere — but rumor has it that a madman lurks in the nearby forest, and the crazy dude has a penchant for feasting on human flesh. When the campers wake up, however, not only do they find a bear roaming the campsite, but their teacher is missing . . . and blood is streaked across his tent. Frank and Joe go in search of him, only to find themselves hunted by an ax-wielding man in face paint and bearskins. As they venture farther into the forest, Frank tumbles into a waterfall and Joe finds himself teetering on the edge of dangerous rapids. Add all that to the black bears prowling the forest, and the boys aren’t sure if they’ll make it out alive!

  Sometimes it's won within the heart of one girl. 
  Hua Minglan wants revenge for the death of her sister, and she'll do anything to get it.  
  A war is brewing between Piao and the Kou warriors to the north, a war that has called every able-bodied man in Piao from their fields.

  It will end in her execution.  
  Hua never imagines that by joining the army, she brings a greater foe into the heart of Piao.  
  What if the Kou are only a distraction? 
  What if the real enemy is her? 
  Dive into this full-length Mulan inspired fantasy. Beware of dragons, sword-wielding girls, and a slow-burn, heartbreaking romance.

  Listeners will be intrigued and inspired by these true stories of 20th Century Americans whose gifts transformed the world. Journalists, musicians, scientists, poets, a computer genius, and a president – all of them struggled and went on to great achievements. Now Jim Weiss brings you their stories.  Nellie Bly, the pioneering woman journalist whose breathtaking adventures literally took her around the world. Navy Admiral Grace Hopper, the quotable computer genius who led the way into the age of high technology. George Gershwin, who composed musical masterpieces, and his lyricist friend, E.Y. Harburg (The Wizard of Oz and more). Langston Hughes, whose belief in possibilities drove him to overcome racism and write immortal poetry. Charles Steinmetz, the scientific genius with a giant heart lodged in a body four feed tall. Harry Truman, whose boyhood readings in history later guided his own history-making decisions as President of the United States.  These stories will have you shaking your head in wonder at the vast (and vastly entertaining) variety of ways in which humans can strive for greatness.
