"While riding their motorcycles along the Shore Road, Frank and Joe Hardy, along with their pal Chet Morton, meet a local fisherman who has just had his car stolen. The three boys give chase and, further down the road, find their chum, Jack Dodd, and his father being questioned by the police because a stolen car was found in their yard. The Hardy boys, of course, resolve to solve the case and clear their friend’s name, as many other auto thefts have also occurred recently. They soon discover a band of tramps camping on the beach, a man named Gus Montrose who used to work for Mr. Dodd, and a group of fishermen sneaking around the woods at night. Although threatened by Dodd, thwarted at every turn to unravel the mystery of the car thefts, and using their own money to purchase and hide in the trunk of a “bait car,” the boys enter the thieves’ lair, encounter their armed adversaries, and solve the Shore Road Mystery!"

"Orphaned at birth in South Korea, challenged with medical and developmental complications, and unadopted by age three, Min Soo’s hope of finding a home seems lost.
But God chooses a family on the other side of the world who opens their home to this whirlwind of a child. Although Min Soo is dearly loved, his constant challenges tax his adoptive parents to the core.
When he’s old enough to understand, Min Soo wonders if God has a purpose for “a child in a man’s body.” He comes to grips with the multiple obstacles he faces—except one. Then a devastating diagnosis hits! How will Min Soo overcome the impossible? Does God still have a purpose for his broken life? And will God grant him the “most desire” of his heart?
Despite his many struggles, Min Soo has accomplished an amazing feat by writing his story. And his unique sense of humor shines throughout the pages of A Home for Min Soo: Putting Together the Pieces of My Life, bringing laughter as he and his family relay his numerous antics. Yet you’ll be moved by the deep truths he shares.
Min Soo hopes—through reading his story—you’ll discover it’s possible to survive insurmountable odds and find purpose in the pieces of your life."

"Facing Death - A Tale of the Coal Mines is a story with a purpose. It is intended to show that a lad who makes up his mind firmly and resolutely will rise in life, and he who is prepared to face toil and ridicule and hardship to carry out his determination, is sure to succeed. The hero of the story is a typical British boy; dogged, earnest, generous, and though “shame-faced” to a degree, is ready to face death in the discharge of duty. This hero, an orphan named Jack Simpson, at the age of about 10, begins work in the coal mines. Full of excitement, the book relays a strike against the mine owners, a riot against the youth of the town and one catastrophe after another, culminating in a deadly explosion. Our maturing hero discovers a way to escape from certain death in the mine and assumes the most dangerous actions needed to save himself and others. The author stated that this book was his own personal favorite, and the best among his books for boys."

"The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle is the classic tale of the legendary bandit of England, who stole from the conniving rich to give to the poor. Join Robin Hood and Little John, Allan A Dale, Friar Tuck, and Maid Marion as they face off against the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham. In these medieval days of bows and arrows and county fairs, Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws are beloved by all the common men, and live a happy life in Sherwood Forest."
"G.A. Henty novels are highly researched as well as drawn from his first-hand experiences of people, places, and events. The years 1400-1403 were among the most stirring in the history of England. Owen Glendower, angered by the usurpation of the English throne by Henry IV, carried fire and slaughter to the Welsh counties, capturing most of the strong places held by the English, and foiling three invasions led by the king himself. A coalition under the English Percy, Welshmen Glendower and Mortimer, and Scotsman Douglas, tried to combine forces to unseat Henry, but were themselves defeated at the battle of Shrewsbury. The continual state of unrest and warfare on “both sides of the border” are full of stirring adventures for our hero, Oswald Forster."

Set in 1585 through 1604, this sequel to By Pike and Dyke continues the story of the Dutch Protestant struggle for independence from their Spanish Catholic rulers. Two English brothers experience the major conflicts in the struggle, meeting one of the greatest generals of the time, Sir Francis Vere. Their adventures include the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the battle of Cadiz and Ostend, life in Holland and Spain, and more. Henty’s legendary storytelling once again captures the reader’s imagination while educating them all the while."
