The Dragons of Spratt, Ohio
John Salt loves his baby dragons, all nine of them. He cares for them as if they were his babies -- they are his babies, for Pete's sake -- because, after all, how many kids in Ohio (besides Salt) have a litter of dragons living behind their house? Exactly none, that's how many.
But not everyone loves the dragons as much as Salt. In fact, someone is planning to do them some major -- major -- harm. And once Salt finds out that his babies are in danger, it's up to him and one of his least favorite people, Candi Clark, to save them.
But how can they save the dragons? They're just kids, for cryin' out loud. And Candi is more interested in finding the perfect eye shadow to go with her rhinestone hair clips than anything else, or so she'd like everyone to think. But Salt is a pretty tough kid, for a couch potato, and Candi has a trick or two up her sleeve in this funny novel from the author of the truth about rats, rules, & seventh grade.

Longevity in Action
Although the life expectancy of Americans was rising, an alarming number of the author's family members, boyhood chums, and military buddies were passing away ... years too soon! Then came the shattering blow when his dear wife, Alice, mother of their seven children, nearly succumbed to cancer at 59! It was then that Arnold Bull, an admittedly burned-out, chain-smoking "couch potato" took his life in another direction at the age of 62. He plunged headlong into research in preventive medicine, which led to the study of nutrition and physical fitness, eventually leading to his acquiring the title of America's Oldest Certified Aerobics Instructor. This informative, lighthearted book, based largely on Arnold's motivational lecture series, is an inspiration to not only senior citizens, but to their offspring--the millions of Baby Boomers tentatively entering their 40s and 50s.
