The monster manual : the ultimate guide to werewolves, goblins, and other wicked creatures

Marsh, Sarah Glenn,


Creep through the shadows. Listen for the scratching. Something is out there -- and it knows you’re reading this book. 'The Monster Manual' is not a bedtime story. It’s a field guide to the beasts that slither, skulk, and stalk when the lights go out. Collected by vanished monster-hunters and forbidden to be printed -- until now -- these pages contain the truth grown-ups won’t admit: monsters are real. From vampires and goblins to witches and werewolves, this creep-tacular book serves as a guide to the history of monsters and offers information on how/where to find these mythical beings, as well as descriptions and tales of human contact with them over time.

Twelve daring grays : a whale migration adventure

Nickum, Nora,


In February, some twenty thousand gray whales set off from Baja California on a long, hard journey north, toward food and survival. Hungry and thin, they push on week after week, past California, Oregon, and Washington to the tip of that state, where twelve of them peel off and make an eastward turn into the Salish Sea. There they will wait in the deep for the tide to rise, only to swim into the dangerously shallow waters of a mudflat, hurriedly plowing the bottom for food before the water recedes once more. Will their daring be rewarded? Will they survive to join their fellow whales in the Bering and Chukchi Seas?"--
