"A likable hamster narrates this novel for newly independent readers&hellip;.Birney succeeds in developing the animal&rsquo;s character without the narrative becoming too cute or contrived. Humphrey's views underscore the importance of knowing the full story before making judgments, and his presence makes a positive difference in the lives of the people he meets. All in all, a winning book that will appeal to children who like tales about animals, school life, and friendship."&mdash;School Library Journal"The story deftly avoids triteness while still feeling breezy and acknowledging deeply felt troubles, such as Mrs. Brisbane's husband&rsquo;s depression. The pet-care tips punctuating each chapter would benefit any youngster thinking about getting a hamster, but for everyone else, this read is simply good-good-good."&mdash;Kirkus ReviewsLook for all of the books in the series!The World According to HumphreyFriendship According to HumphreyTrouble According to HumphreySurprises According to HumphreyAdventure According to HumphreySummer According to HumphreySchool Days According to HumphreyMysteries According to HumphreyWinter According to HumphreySecrets According to HumphreyImagination According to HumphreySpring According to Humphrey

Praise for Little Toot by Hardie Gramatky:"I am delighted to know that this classic piece of Americana, Little Toot, will be enjoyed by readers of all ages for many years to come."--Eric Carle"How delightful to revisit the seaworthy world of brave Little Toot--that little tugboat who proves his courage riding atop Gramatky's superb, water, wild waves. This book has a sweet innocence and joy."--Maurice Sendak

Little Toot

Chorus Euripideus Comparatus Cum Sophocleo (1853)

This is a timely and entertaining volume that will prove very useful in the development of genre courses in the next few years as the superhero genre finds its place in taught modules across film and media programmes. The work is scholarly and well referenced in ways that open it to further reading and research, but accessible to undergraduate readers. The author takes an epistemically specific approach that is not inappropriate given the avowed focus on the MCU specifically, rather than the superhero genre on the whole or its historical roots. As such, the range of contemporary readings on terrorism, conflict, and the power structures of the twenty first century (mainly American) is again both timely and informative. Intellectually, the breaking of the MCU into its industrially determined ‘phases’ again focuses the chronology but also opens new arenas of interrogation. The ‘phase two’ section demonstrates the degree to which the frames of reference change between 2008 and 2013, freeing the franchise (and scholarly debate) from some of the immediate trauma narrative tropes of the first phase, and allowing the discussion to delve into some of the more liminal spaces of the MCU, such as in Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy on gender and fantasy. The final section on the recent television incarnations of the franchise is useful without delving too deeply into the political economy of transmedia in the Netflix age (which is another topic entirely)

Praise for Days of Rage&ldquo;A Pike Logan thriller filled with heart-thumping action and insane heroics...A fun, satisfying adventure.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&ldquo;Former Delta Force officer Taylor combines up-to-the-minute spy craft with musings about the morality of murder, even when justified, and shows that the latest gadgetry still can&rsquo;t replace human intuition and skill. Another exciting spy thriller from an author who knows the territory.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Taylor is adept at combining past tragedies, like the terrorist attack on the 1972 Munich Olympics, with more recent developments, like the Snowden disclosures, and tracking the geopolitical changes in between. Throw in modern technology, gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, and a daring race to prevent a disaster that would make the Munich Olympics attack pale by comparison, and you have a thriller that really thrills.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers WeeklyMore Praise for Brad Taylor and the Pike Logan series &ldquo;Pike ranks right up there with Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher, and Jack Bauer.&rdquo;&mdash;John Lescroart,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author &ldquo;Fresh plot, great action and Taylor clearly knows what he is writing about....When it comes to tactics and hardware he is spot on.&rdquo;&mdash;Vince Flynn, #1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author &ldquo;Logan is a tough, appealing hero you&rsquo;re sure to root for.&rdquo;&mdash;Joseph Finder,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author &ldquo;[Pike Logan is a] feisty, devil-may-care hero.&rdquo;&mdash;Steve Berry,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author &ldquo;Taylor has become one of the very best writers of thrillers with a military and special-ops background...Comparisons to Vince Flynn and Brad Thor are expected and not inaccurate, but Taylor is now in a class by himself.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &ldquo;Slick, exciting action and credible complexity are the hallmarks of Taylor&rsquo;s high-caliber thrillers.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal &ldquo;Few authors write about espionage, terrorism, and clandestine hit squads as well as Taylor does.&rdquo;&mdash;Houston Press &ldquo;Action packed....Those who prize authentic military action will be rewarded.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

Praise for&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author Karen White&#160;&ldquo;There is a rhythm to the writing of Karen White. It has a pace, a beat, a cadence that is all its own.&rdquo;&mdash; Jackie K. Cooper, The Huffington Post&ldquo;White&rsquo;s dizzying carousel of a plot keeps those pages turning, so much so that the book can [be]&mdash;and should be&mdash;finished in one afternoon, interrupted only by a glass of sweet iced tea.&rdquo;&mdash;Oprah.com&#160;&ldquo;White captures the true essence of Charleston by intertwining the sights and smells of the historic town with an enchanting story filled with ghostly spirits, love, and forgiveness&hellip;a once-in-a-lifetime series.&rdquo;&mdash;Fresh Fiction&#160;&ldquo;This is storytelling of the highest order: the kind of book that leaves you both deeply satisfied and aching for more.&rdquo;&mdash;Beatriz Williams,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Tiny Little Thing&#160;&ldquo;Readers will find White&rsquo;s prose an uplifting experience as she is a truly gifted storyteller.&rdquo;&mdash;Las Vegas Review-Journal
