The Confederates win the Civil War with aid from South African time travelers in this unconvincing "what-if" tale. Using a time machine, Andrew Rhoodie and his cadre of white supremacists from A.D. 2014 join the rebels and supply them with AK-47 assault rifles. Rhoodie's "America Will Break" brotherhood hopes to foster a haven for slavery and extreme racism that will last into succeeding centuries. Thus armed, Gen. Robert E. Lee's troops are soon victorious, and Lincoln agrees to divide the nation. Lee wins political office in the South, and, ironically, becomes both a proponent of emancipation and a foe of the bigoted visitors from the future. Turtledove ( Krispos Rising ) might win over some Civil War buffs through his knowledge of historical figures and events. But stilted dialogue, slack pacing and thin characters diminish the book's appeal.... v angličtine,obal,tvrdá väzba,560 strán

The Poltergoose

Spisovatel: Lawrence Michael, Orchard Books 2000
Katalogové číslo: E7316

When Jiggy McCue moves to the Brook Farm Estates, strange things start happening-something big and angry and invisible keeps hissing at him and poking his rear end. When Jiggy realizes he's being haunted by a dead goose-a Poltergoose-he calls on his friends Pete and Angie for help. Together the Three Musketeers (whose motto is "One for all, and all for lunch!") set off to find out where the poltergoose came from, why it's haunting Jiggy, and how to send it back where it belongs.With a wisecracking narrator, totally wacky plot, and tons of gross-out humor, The Poltergoose is laugh-out-loud funny and perfect for today's kids.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 150 strán

Me Tanner, You Jane

Spisovatel: Block Lawrence, ? 1970
Katalogové číslo: H438

It's a jungle out there. Literally. At least for Evan Tanner, eternally sleepless sometime superspy, who finds himself in Africa on the trail of the AWOL ruler of tiny Modonoland. It seems the petty despot's gone missing, and he's taken the state treasury along with him. No stranger to impossible missions and international peril, Tanner's been in over his head before. This time, however, he's in imminent danger of being buried alive. And it all has to do with the CIA, white supremacists, moderate revolutionaries . . . and a blond jungle bombshell named (no joke!) Sheena. Tanner's always been a sucker for a pretty face and a curvaceous body, especially one that's wrapped in leopard skin. But this red hot renegade daughter of a local missionary is a maneater. Which means this time Tanner's goose is well and truly cooked.... malý formát, v angličtine, brožovaná, 180 strán
