Anthony Immanuvel
These 110 puzzles are so tough that

the puzzles give you very little information—perhaps just a “more than” or
“less than” sign. In others, the squares
are connected by dotted lines and there’s
only one sum as a hint. A few sudoku
are simply bigger and harder, because instead of the usual 1-9 you have to figure
out how 1-16 fits in the grid. Or try
shaped puzzles, arrows and circles in
the middle of the grid, and more. Bonus:
strategies, hints, and a few techniques.

Super Colossal Book of
Word Search
Christy Davis
Love word searches? Then try this
super-duper colossal collection of 365
searches—a full year’s worth of mindmelting puzzles that will (as a bonus)
improve your vocabulary, too. Every
page has TWO word searches on it,
each with a cool theme. Experts who
want something really challenging will
find what they want here, too. But the
truly brain-busting ones come at the
end of the book, when the puzzles veer
from the standard to the really challenging, and some even have no word list at
all. They’re hard, they’re tough . . . and
they’re wildly entertaining!

Dastardly Deeds, Devious Schemes,

Joe Rhatigan
Let’s face it: Most lawbreakers end up
shooting themselves in the foot—and
that’s fun to read about. We pay tribute
to the comic blunderers whose antics
land them in jail faster than you can say
“He went thatta way!” And if it won’t
solve the mystery of why they do what
they do, at least it will aid and abet you
in the laughter department.
An Around-the-World Peek into
the Strange and Unexpected
Gregory LaFarge
No rules are more fun to break than
those trying to control sex. But that
never stopped anybody. Some silliness:
In New Jersey you can have sex in your
car as long as you don't bump into the
horn while in the act: In Minnesota it’s
illegal for single women to have sex.
Unmarried men can do as they please.
In an Idaho town, there’s an eighteenminute limit on public displays of affection, in Iowa, it's five minutes, in
Maryland, one second. In the Netherlands bestiality is ok, unless the animal
suffered emotional distress.

Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Tornadoes,
and More of Nature’s Fury
Joanne O’Sullivan
This is weather beyond your wildest
imagination—yet it’s all true: showers
of worms from the sky, watermelon
snow, gory storms, and other freakish
and fun phenomena! These stories are
anything but ordinary, and they will
leave you stunned, horrified, amazed,
and sometimes even amused at the incredible things nature can do. Gathered
from historic records, present-day news
reports, and research studies, and spanning the globe from the Sahara to the
tundra to the USA, they reveal just how
volatile and bizarre weather can be.
Find out about supersized hailstones as
big as bowling balls; fish raining from
the sky; the never-ending lightning that
has become a UNESCO National Heritage Site; and fog so thick it killed hundreds of people in a single day. And if
that isn’t strange enough for you, there
are terrible typhoons and tsunamis, tornadoes that have carried people into the
air, temperatures that soared over 49
degrees in two minutes, and even cyclones that have raised ships buried for
over a century. Scientists can explain
how and why some of these things happen—but other events remain a mystery.

Boston: the city on the hill, filled with
incomparable historic sites, bustling

also is one of the most forward-looking

Startling Stereograms
. . . And the Beat Goes On
“Cousin Brucie” Morrow with Rich Maloof
Get back to the roots of this exciting,
explosive music with the man who saw
it all happen: legendary radio personality Cousin Brucie! The artists presented
here played vital roles in the earth-shattering changes that unfolded from the
time rock started to roll in the 1950s.
Elvis, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones,
the Who, and countless others. Teens
across America listened to the sounds
of the Beach Boys. Detroit Soul had kids
dancing in the streets, hippies flew high
on Jefferson Airplane—and Woodstock
galvanized a nation. Bonus: archival
photographs, posters, album covers,
record labels, newspaper articles, magazine covers, poems, quotes, and more.
Gary Priester and Gene Levine
There’s something really magical about a
stereogram; in fact, these practically
come alive with movement. As they
tease and surprise our brains, they
teach us to look at things differently and
make us aware of how our eyes play
tricks on us. Meaningless patterns and
hidden objects on a 2-D page take shape
and pop out in full, glorious, clearly defined 3-D. Images that were flat gain
amazing dimension. Get the most out of
your viewing experience, understand the
mechanics of parallel vision and how to
focus so the illusions materialize.

My First Word Search: Fun
with Letters
Eden Greenberg
When children grasp phonics—the
sounds created by letter combinations—
they’re on their way to mastering reading. The more fun they have, the faster
their skills will grow. These word searches
turn learning letters into a game. Each
puzzle presents just one letter or sound,
like “baby” and “plate” for LONG A;
“city” and “dance” for SOFT C; and “jab,”
“jam,” and “jelly” for J words. There’s
only a small list of words to find so children can complete the puzzles without
becoming bored or losing concentration.

Horrors of History:
City of the Dead
The year is 1900—a time before cars,
evacuation routes, and up-to-theminute weather reports. When a hurricane hits Galveston, Texas, it nearly wipes
the island city from existence. Winds
upwards of one hundred miles per hour
sweep entire houses and trees down the
streets. Debris flies through the air;
bodies whirl amid the rushing waters.
City of the Dead weaves together a shocking story of some of the residents of
Galveston, where some miraculously survive and many others are tragically lost.
Ocean of Fire will be released July 2014.

Prisoner 88
Leah Pileggi • illustrated by Daniel Miyares
Ten-year-old Jake Oliver Banks is sentenced to five years for shooting a man
who had threatened his father. Jake is
confined alongside hardened criminals
and innocent inmates, but he is happy
to be well fed for a change. Only when
the warden forces him to learn to read
and write does Jake feel truly punished.
His reading lessons bond Jack to kindly
prisoners Mr. Nance and Mr. Shin. When
Jake finds himself saying goodbye to Mr.
Nance and thwarting an explosive inmate escape, it becomes clear that a
penitentiary is no place for a young boy.
