It was the brochure that got them into it. When Salt and Pepper’s school play is chosen to be performed at an international festival in Scotland, the dynamic duo immediately start looking for ways to occupy their free time. For once, Salt is convinced that nothing can go wrong. And nothing does . . . until they see the brochure. During a tour of an underground part of the city that is centuries old, Salt is approached by two ghosts, an old man and a little girl. Their plea? Find and help Stephen Beecombe. But who and where is Stephen Beecombe? And what kind of help does he need? Finding the answers to those questions takes Salt, Pepper, and endlessly annoying little brother Hal on a journey to a ghostly meeting where everyone is Stephen Beecombe, into a tunnel populated by werewolves, and to a face-to-face confrontation with the very dangerous “man with wooden teeth.” It's all part of Salt and Pepper's wildest adventure yet! ...

But with a new school year starting, Andy thinks his luck may be changing. Parkerville isn't the coolest school, but at least Mr. Retzlaff, his tenth grade social teacher, is cool. This class is awesome from day one. Covering World War II, Hitler, and the Holocaust, Mr. R. urges students to question everything they see and hear. It's the one class Andy wants to ace — if only to make Mr. R. proud. But before long, he starts to realize that Mr. R.'s version of history doesn't quite match everyone else's, and that succeeding in this class may cost more than he's willing to pay. David Poulsen's gripping plot, realistic characters, and enduring themes make Numbers one of his best novels to date. ...
