Rosco the rascally German shepherd has never seen snow before. Now he'll get the chance to romp around in a snow-covered world high in the mountains. But trouble seems to find Rosco wherever he goes. Will his curious nature spoil the weekend for James and Mandy, or will it save the day?

This second adventure in the Rosco the Rascal series will keep readers guessing from the start. Fifth grader James and his second grade sister, Mandy, are building snowmen and sled riding down steep hills, enjoying the fresh powder created by an overnight blizzard on their wintry family vacation. Amidst the fun, they don't realize that a coyote pup, lost and frightened, has been poking around their cabin in the snow, although they've uncovered perplexing clues. It's Rosco, with his powerful canine senses, who discovers the identity of the wild creature first, but he can't communicate it to his human pals, so he sets out on his own to make things right.

When the kids finally unravel the mystery, it's almost too late to rescue the poor creature, which has become caught in a hunter's trap. It's up to brother and sister to use their wits in a sticky situation, yet trust their rascal-turned-hero dog to help. But will they be able to free the pup and still make it out alive, themselves?

This action-packed story works well as a winter read-aloud for educators and parents, alike, with many teachable moments that lend themselves to discussion. Black and white interior illustrations add interest for even the youngest of readers. Realistic characters and detailed descriptions put the reader squarely in the center of the book's mountain top setting, and take the reader on a lively, contemporary, heart-pounding journey.

All books in the series are standalone and can be read in any order. Fans of The Magic Tree House series will love this brother and sister pair, and fans of classic, heroic dogs - from Lassie to Beethoven - will love Rosco.

Extremely practical guide to community management!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Victoria Tran’s Mastering Community Management is the book I wish I had when I was managing massive startup communities as an introvert. It validates the emotional labor behind the role and reframes community management as care, not chaos. Tran’s strategies are practical, but what makes the book powerful is her empathy. She shows that introverts’ strengths from listening deeply, noticing subtle shifts, valuing one‑on‑one connection, are essential to building healthy communities. Her emphasis on kindness and intentionality reminded me that the late nights, careful responses, and invisible scaffolding of trust truly matter. This book is both a guide and a comfort. It proves that introverts can thrive in community management, and it honors the humanity behind the work.

Favorite graphic novel of all time
Format: Paperback
Daisy Kutter used to be train robber. And she used to be partners (and perhaps more) with Tom. But those days are past as Tom is now the Sherif and Daisy is owner of local general store...and bored out of her mind. She can't acclimate herself to "normal" life like Tom can and one night trying to relive her boredom she loses the store in a poker game. Mr. Winters, who she lost the store to, has a proposition though: try to rob his train and test his new security robots. And he's willing to pay. But it appears that not everything is on the up and up. And Daisy and Tom are fighting to survive. Set in a steampunk version of the old west, where robots and humans live together, Kibuishi creates a masterful story that has a great deal of humor. You know that classic stoic character in the old west movies? That's Daisy. But instead of being played by some curmudgeonly old man, it's played by a young woman with a bit of humor to her, which is a nice change of pace. The relationship between Tom and Daisy is set up beautifully and it's easy to relate to them and understand where both of them are coming from. The artwork has some of the elegance and detail that can be found in Kibuishi's current series, , but in a bit simpler style. It's a completely black & white, but Kibuishi uses the gray tones effectively to create a lot of depth and energy to the characters. And with just a few simple lines Kibuishi gives us memorable characters that keep us coming back for more. I especially love the close ups of the characters eyes, particularly Daisy's. When those happen we get a real sense of who the character is and the emotion that they're feeling at the time. Like the title says, this is my favorite graphic novel of all time. It was the first one I ever picked up so yeah it hold some sentimental value, but the combination of a great story and great artwork make this a must read for anyone. My one complaint...no sequel (although there is a short story in Flight volume 6)!

Comic Excellence
Format: Paperback
An ALA Best Book for Young Adults, this graphic novel is one of a growing number of high quality comics appropriate for both young adult as well as adult audiences. I particularly like the way the book blends the western and science fiction themes. Daisy Kutter is a fascinating character with more depth than many graphic novels. I look forward to other books in this series.
