12 year old Theodore Teddy Roosevelt Fitzroy has got a murder on his hands and trouble on his tail. Henry, the hippopatamus at the brand-new nationally known FunJungle, has gone belly up. Even though it's claimed he died of natural causes, Teddy smells something fishy and it sure ain't the polar bear's lunch. Dealing with the zoo's top brass proves to be nothing but a waste of time. They want to see any trace of Henry's death disappear like yesterday's paper. So Teddy sets out to find the truth. With the help of Summer McCraken, a fiesty girl with secrets of her own, the two narrow down their prime suspects. Is it Martin Del Gato, FunJungle's head of operations who hates kids and hates animals even more? Or J.J McCraken, the owner of FunJungle and and hates animals even more? Or J.J McCraken, the owner of FunJungle and Summer's father, who has more concern for the dough he's raking in than the animals in the zoo? As their investigation goes on, Teddy gets squeezed on all sides to quit asking questions or Henry won't be the only animal in the zoo to turn up dead. The deeper Teddy and Summer get, they had better make sure they want to know what they want to know because when it comes to hippo homicide, the truth can't be kept in a cage

Creative Call a Great Adventure
Format: Paperback
I was looking for a book that would encourage me to move forward on my creative journey. I love to journal and make paper crafts (including handmade books and cards), but I've never really seen myself as an artist. I was also looking for a Christian tool, because the philosophy is so different. This book is perfect! I'm enjoying the exercises and I'm reminded that God created us in His own image. He is the Creator and I am a co-creator (imagine that). This book is helping me with my daily devotions and I'm moving forward with more artistic pursuits. For those who are looking for a way to improve their relationship with God, and find out how God wants to create through you, this book is immensely useful. It includes scripture and thought provoking exercises. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I teach art all the time, everywhere
Format: Kindle
Janice E. is correct in explaining a creative outlook. It's absolutely part of human existence because of who God is, what he has done, and continues to do. This Pandemic has brought home a fact to me. Whatever tries to control our membership in the human race better learn it cannot totally destroy our spirit. I connect the beginning of my day with prayer and writing a short letter to God where I can ask anything and I can then watch for his answers. Then I seek how I might do creative pieces. Yes, it takes perseverance to excell but the spirit that is creative needs to step forward. Janice E., good job by your warmth and friendly encouragement.

Amazing!
Format: Paperback
I had a desire to write but nothing would come to me. Then, I began to read this book. It was a game changer! Three chapters into this book and I began to see scenes in my head for a story I am now writing. It all started to flow out of me and I credit this book for getting that started. Journeying through this book also strengthened my faith and validated that taking time for my talent is not selfish, it’s a form of worship. I highly recommend this book!
