It is Washington, August 24, 1814, and the presidents house is burning. Percival Mouse and his wife, Annie, have known for years this was coming, and they are not unprepared. They have risked everything to live in this time and place, hoping to save their present and future families. Their enemy, Balfour, a red dog of war, killed Percys father and has arrived with Admiral Cockburn, commander of the English troops, hoping to destroy the entire mouse family. This is how life in the presidents house is for one mouse family. Rod Harringtons Percival, a Mouse in the Presidents House combines fantasy and history to create an entertaining and interesting book. The Mouse family finds itself involved in historical events and close companions with many important historical figures of the times. Among them is Percivals friend, Benjamin Banneker, Americas first black man of science, who uses his knowledge of the universe and the physics of time travel for good, even from beyond his humble grave in Maryland. Readers will find themselves caught up in the history of the United States through the eyes and experiences of some of the countrys smallest citizens.
The True Story of a Mouse Who Never Asked for It is a visually striking, deeply feminist, contemporary retelling of a Spanish folk tale, rediscovered and brought to new life by author Ana Cristina Herreros and illustrator Violeta Lopiz. In Herreros and Lopiz's version--which sharply diverges from the most mainstream and popularized telling of the story--a mouse is approached by many suitors, rejecting all but one: a cat, whose gentle meow assures her that he won't bring her harm. But one must remember that a kitten always grows up to be a cat...and thusly, will devour the mouse.
One fogbound night in 1900, the citizens of Port Newton, California fished a six foot tall, half drowned American Indian dressed in a tuxedo out of San Francisco Bay. He turned out to be a washed-up Big League pitcher Chief Dobbs, a charismatic hustler. The Fade-Away is a tale of love, greed, and America's descent into modernity.
#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • An intelligent, lightning-paced thriller set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., with surprises at every turn. “Impossible to put down.... Another mind-blowing Robert Langdon story.” —The New York Times Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom. When his mentor Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth ... all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date.
Time Out Chicago, Top 10 Book of 2005 Winner of the 2006 PEN USA Literary Award for Fiction Training horses is dangerous—a head-to-head confrontation with 1,000 pounds of muscle and little sense takes courage, but more important, patience and smarts. It is these same qualities that allow John and his uncle Gus to live in the beautiful high desert of Wyoming. A black horse trainer is a curiosity, at the very least, but a familiar curiosity in these parts. It is the brutal murder of a young gay man, however, that pushes this small community to the teetering edge of intolerance. Highly praised for his storytelling and ability to address the toughest issues of our time with humor, grace, and originality, Wounded by Percival Everett offers a brilliant novel that explores the alarming consequences of hatred in a divided America.
