They have lived among us for centuries—distant, separate, just out of sight. They fill our myths, our legends, and the stories we tell our children in the dark of night. They come from the air, from water, from earth, and from fire. What are these creatures that enjoin out imagination? Faeries. Something Rich and Strange creates a faerie story that's not to be missed: Megan is an artist who draws seascapes. Jonah owns a shop devoted to treasures from the deep. Their lives, so strongly touched by the ocean, become forever intertwined when enchanting people of the sea lure them further into the underwater world—and away from each other.

When Professor Xavier, the mentor of the X-Men, uncovers evidence of a planned secret alien invasion of Earth, he enlists the X-Men in a desperate race against time to find key pieces of technology to build a weapon powerful enough to stop the attacking forces.

Subtitle: Second Edition Author: Thompson, Michael Clay Subjects: Language Arts; Writing; MCT Curriculum Age: 8, 9, 10 ISBN: 978-0-88092-630-0 Latest edition: 2018 Order code: 6300 Price: $35.00 Website price: $25.00 Also an iBook from iTunes Michael Clay Thompson's writing series begins with the lavishly illustrated Sentence Island. Ideally, Thompson would like children to use Grammar Island first and then proceed to Sentence Island while working concurrently with Building Language and The Music of the Hemispheres. The entire book is devoted to the sentence. If a child cannot write a sentence, he or she cannot write and will never be able to write. So it is essential that children master sentence writing. Most programs do not devote enough time and attention to the sentence, and hence many children do not master writing sentences at a level that provides an adequate foundation for more advanced writing. Sentence Island teaches advanced concepts in a lively way. Understanding these concepts enables the child to write sentences that make sense, communicate ideas, and impart information. The book's approach and the wonderful illustrations demonstrate that it can be fun to write well. Although the presentation is simple, the information is sophisticated, and by the end of the book, the child is getting information not usually taught until high school or college-if at all. This volume features an array of quirky animals, birds, insects, a talking tree, and an amazing fish whose name is Mud. From each character, Mud learns a different aspect of sentence structure. Mud and his friends proved so popular with children that Thompson was impelled to write a series of novels about them. They make learning the rules and concepts that are the essential foundation for formal writing assignments enjoyable.
