Sprung From the Soil

A Series of Poems on Old Sturbridge Village by David Madden

"When David Madden was in the 5th grade at Lincoln School in Manchester CT, he went to Old Sturbridge Village for the first time as a student. It was on this field trip that he developed his lifelong love for US history. The 33 poems are arranged in the order one could take when walking through the village after leaving the Visitors' Center. There are 12 walnut wash illustrations throughout the book and a color enhanced cover picture, all beautifully created by Ian Newbury, a skilled watercolorist from Westerly, RI."

Shoestrings: No Time For Dinosaurs

by John Benjamin Sciarra

"Kyle age 14, his sister Teresa, age 12 and another girl, Sonja find themselves in a world that existed 65 million years ago just as the comet that caused the dinosaurs' extinction is about to hit. A bizarre device is the invention of the children?s fathers, scientists, who are unaware their children accidentally stepped into the time capsule as it was in the process of being transported. The children find a dinosaur called a Bambiraptor?a cross between a reptile and bird (it really existed!). It becomes their pet. The children narrowly escape the comet's fiery aftermath?thanks to a shoestring!"

Shoestrings: Paradox

by John Benjamin Sciarra

"The adventure in time continues with Kyle, Teresa and Sonja. Kyle attempted to rescue Priti, a bambiraptor, from 65 million years in the past before a comet destroyed all the dinosaurs. Unknowingly, he set in motion events that could lead to the destruction of the universe. However, an evil scientist known as "The Commissioner" attempts to stop Kyle and leave him in a time flux for eternity. Kyle gets help from a surprising source."

Beachmaster

by John Benjamin Sciarra

"Imagine facing a belligerent, one-ton monster with four, six-inch long, interlocking canines and another 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch in his jaws. His eyes look demonic and his paralyzing roar louder than that of a male lion. As swift as he is agile, the Steller sea lion can outrun a human and scale vertical rock walls. Goliath, a Steller sea lion pup is rescued off the coast of Alaska after a violent tsunami devastates the Steller population. The animal is sent to the Ocean Beach Aquarium in New London, Connecticut. At first, he is cooperative, but things change as he matures. Soon his natural instinct to breed and rule his harem take over. Goilath escapes after a strong New England hurricane and causes mayhem and death wrought from frustration."

Noah's Diary

by John Benjamin Sciarra

"David Korban, a young aspiring archaeologist working on his PhD, and a skilled mountain climber, accompanies his father and an international team of scientists to Mount Ararat in Turkey. Their objective: to remove the Ark of Noah and bring it back to the United States. But the mountain has other ideas? it threatens to take the Ark away, after dangling it like a carrot before the world. And, it gives David a gift? a gift that holds the power to change the world. It even bestows love upon the young archeologist. Still, sinister forces are determined to sweep the gift away, and to leave David a broken man."
