What We Found in the Sofa, and How it Saved the World

 

It almost sounds like a challenge question on a test. 

"While sitting on a couch, you find a domino, a crayon, and a two headed coin.  Taking these three items only, you have to save the world.  How would you do it?"
 
Fiona, Freak, and River find the sofa sitting at their bus stop. After exploring the couch they find crayon.  Who knew that a "Zucchini" crayon would get them into so much trouble, or that the couch would have traveling abilities (save your dust bunnies).
 
This story is science fiction, adventure, mystery, and ghost story all rolled up in one.  It has an evil villain who wishes to rule the world.  By the way, he is from Indorsia.

In Front of God and Everybody: Confessions of April Grace

  Just finished this book.    It is the summer of 1986, and life changes in this little town in the Ozarks. Many may say that if you live in a small town, nothing happens.  But not April Grace!  In her own light-hearted humorous way April Grace tells you about the new neighbors and the mystery of  Grace's grandma's new boy friend.
