Book Description
Drawing on years of research and firsthand interviews with both American and Japanese survivors, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy draws a gripping portrait of men bravely serving their countries in war and the advent of a terrifying new weapon, suicide bombing, that nearly halted the most powerful nation in the world. In the closing months of World War II, Americans found themselves facing a new weapon: kamikazes--the first men to use airplanes as suicide weapons. By the beginning of 1945, facing imminent invasion, Japan turned to its most idealistic young men and demanded of them the greatest sacrifice. On May 11, 1945, days after Germany's surrender, the USS Bunker Hill--with thousands of crewmen and the most sophisticated naval technology available--was 70 miles off the coast of Okinawa when pilot Kiyoshi Ogawa flew his plane into the ship, killing 393 Americans in the worst suicide attack against America until September 11.--From publisher description.

From veteran submariner James Francis comes a gripping novel of survival and loyalty—above and below the surface of the sea. The submarine USS Tulsa speeds silently through the Norwegian Sea, tracking the newest Russian nuclear sub as it makes a trial run. Then, out of the darkness, another sub appears—colliding with the Tulsa and sending her to the ocean floor. As an international team of rescuers is organized, the story starts to leak out, and a worldwide media blitz ensues—placing even more pressure on an already dangerous mission. And all the while, inside the crippled ship, Captain Geoff Richter must struggle to maintain order and ensure the survival of his crew as the oxygen is slowly depleted, power systems begin to fail, and time runs out.

Book Description
We’ve all seen it—the nose-picking habit starts as early as the toddler years, and no child is the exception. Young children pick their noses for a variety of reasons, from colds to allergies to curiosity or boredom. This board book for toddlers and preschoolers is the answer to the age-old question “How can I get my child not to pick, especially not in public?” With gentle humor and kid-friendly support, this board book for toddlers and preschoolers helps guide little ones away from nose picking toward healthier habits, like using a tissue and washing their hands. Catchy words help children remember what to do; vibrant full-color illustrations bring the words to life. Throughout, the positive message shines through: noses are for breathing, sniffing, smelling . . . but not for picking!
