Scientists claim Earth is a planet.
Scientists are wrong.
As quakes threaten to tear Earth apart, small divots appear around the globe. Brandon's geologist parents think they know how to stop them. Unfortunately, their theory comes from Brandon's dad, a diehard conspiracy theorist who may have watched one too many online "documnetaries" in his spare time. But this time his hunch is right. The shadows of the Grand Canyon hold more than Hopi legends. They hold the truth of not only what truly lies beneath Earth's crust, but what Earth is to begin with: a machine, created and abandoned long ago.
As Brandon is dragged to the depths of this "planet" we live on, he is forced to face the fact it is collapsing. And find a way to stop it.

Did you know that tarantula and bird poop look the same? That some small birds excrete toxic weapons? Or that rabbits eat their own feces only to poop it out again? How about the fact that cricket manure smells like oranges? No? This book covers that and more in the weird world of animal poop.
This book explains why different animals poop different ways. It uses pictures and links to websites and videos to satisfy even the most curious of gross science enthusiasts. You'll find yourself trying to identify animal poop later and even trying to figure out what the animal last ate.
Great for any classroom, this book is short enough to keep their attention but filled with wild and crazy facts few would guess to be true. The e-version has embedded links to further their education. The paperback provides the same links, but they must be typed out in a browser.
All seems well at this holiday feast. But before they can say, "Pass the salt," a sweeping deluge washed one family's entire Thanksgiving dinner into the flooded street. It'll take something pretty crafty to pull this dinner back together.
Deep in the walls of Cupola lies a secret. A 200 year old magical secret. And it’s up to Anya and her friends to solve it. Meet Anya, a twelve year old girl with utterly no direction in life. Meet Taika, her best friend who can make a potion strong enough to cure a weregoblin, but may forget to warn you that it can explode at any moment. And then there’s Gevin. Yeah … well … Gevin’s just Gevin isn’t he? These three unlikely heroes will have to brew potions, battle monsters, and even endure the night-of-the-overturned-chicken-stool before discovering the deepest mysteries of Cupola.
Now that everyone knows Anya can perform magic, she’s the number one enemy of the Queen of Cupola. But instead of being punished, she and her friends are being sent on a mission to find a lost treasure. Hmm… Well that’s odd. Anya thinks so too. In an effort to learn just what exactly the Queen has in store for them, Anya and her friends discover something more deadly than they could have ever imagined.
From lost colonies to fairies and even the fabled skinwalker, Anya, Taika, and Gevin find out what really lies outside the walls of Cupola. Will they survive?
With the Queen's men at their feet, Anya must get her friends and family to safety. But the only place they can go, the nomadic rebel village, may not want them there. Anya brings with her the deadly task of destroying the ancient power crystal. The challenges she must overtake will force her to face her greatest fears and test her friendships in ways she never before imagined. Join them on their journey as Anya, Taika, and Gevin reveal the deepest mysteries of Cupola.
I’m told the hallway between the Maze and the Curtain is where all the Dead arrive. All of us are lost. All confused. But I’m also told the Dead remember their Life ... especially their name. I’m Hannah, by the way. And I died at the age of 17. I know that now of course, but not while I was running from predators in the Maze or burning my hand on the Curtain. And to think I once thought those were my biggest problems.
The Day of the Dead is the one time we can travel anywhere in the Land of the Living. The window is short. Thanks to a Medium named Lin, I know where my family is. This is my one chance to tell them I’m OK and mend their pain. But there are a few things holding me up. My roommate is literally trying to suck my soul. There’s a Don turning the Dead into wisp, and I think my best friend is in love with me. All this leads to one conundrum: Do I sacrifice my one chance to visit my Live family, or use it to rescue damned souls from a ruthless Dead Don?
If you think Life’s hard, wait till you’re Dead.
