HAVE YOU READ THE DRAGON OF CRIPPLE CREEK by Troy Howell? This delightful debut novel by the illustrator of the REDWALL series covers is a heart-warming adventure about all that glitters versus all that matte rs. Never before have the American West and ancient dragons been rolled tog ether into one wild, tumbleweed tale.

William Sleator, author of many popular YA books, died yesterday at the age of 65.

Bill was a multi-talented man. It is so sad to lose someone so young.
