The Lost City of Z by David Grann February 2009

In the heyday of British exploration, Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett was certain he would find an advanced civilization in a golden city, Z, located deep in the uncharted Amazon jungle. Fawcett repeatedly explored a world more hostile than the moon with only primitive maps (no GPS folks, it's 1925), no reliable communication, limited medical supplies, and only basic transportation (boats & feet). And on his final journey he even took his 21 year old son! Was this man crazy or consummately dedicated? This non-fiction read is truly a page-turner and is slated to become a major motion picture.  $15.95

Paisley Hanover Acts Out by Cameron Tuttle
March 2009

Paisley is your typical high school student---popular but not on the A-List. But then she gets removed from Yearbook class and "dumped in drama" and nothing is the same. So starts her story of new friends, new priorities, and a new sense of self. Paisley tries her hand at being UN-of a kind: UNsane, UNdiscovered, UNpredictable. Hooray for Paisley! The book's packaging is unique and Paisley's additional "Not Book" (notebook) is a clever collection of teenage stream of consciousness.   $14.99
