Gone to the Dogs: Frankinschool Book 3

"Fred’s emotions have gone to the dogs! Fred’s teacher and Luisa might be excited about their “old-timey” research trip to the library, but Fred is not. In fact, the whole project—and his continued failures at it—are making him angry! That is, until he realizes he has the perfect solution to his problem: Simply write one of his “What If” poems, tap into the power of pretend, turn into Frankinchool, and voila! Project, cancelled. Trouble is, the poem doesn’t work, which makes Fred even fussier—especially when speaking to his friends Luisa and Drake. But while on a quest to find Luisa and apologize, books fly off the library shelves, students nod off at their desk, Drake grows head-snakes, and once again, Fred becomes Frankinschool. But this time, they have no idea how or why. In Book Three of the Frankinschool Mysteries, readers set off on an adventure with Frankinschool through secret passageways and grand rooms of a mansion-turned-library. Along the way, they run into old ghost-friends and a few new ones; they learn about managing expectations, anger, and friendships, and discover that sometimes going-to-the-dogs is a very good thing."

Saints of Feather and Fang: How the Animals We Love and Fear Connect Us to God

"From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings."
