They're no longer human... William is a crocodile and Vanessa is a wolf! Worse still, an evil fish-robot is on the loose in the city and is creating an army of aquatic animals in his top secret lab. With no other option, it's up to William and Vanessa to spring into action and become the crime-fighting duo Croc-Man and Wolf-Girl!With time running out, can they use their newly discovered powers to take down this fin-tastically despicable bad guy, or will it all end in turtle-disaster?

A laugh-out-loud book, bursting with larger-than-life characters, ridiculous action scenes, dancing robots and much more!

A new biography of the beloved but mysterious Blind Lemon Jefferson, famous blues musician. Born in 1897, Jefferson was a blind street musician who played his guitar at the corner of Elm Street and Central Avenue in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas, Texas, until a Paramount Records scout discovered him. Between 1926 and his untimely death in 1929, Jefferson made more than 80 records and became the biggest-selling blues singer in America. Although his recordings are extensive, details about his life are relatively few. Through Govenar and Lornell's extensive interviews and research, See That My Grave is Kept Clean gathers the scattered facts behind Blind Lemon Jefferson's mythic representations.

The distinction achieved by these eminent citizens in various orbits are worthy of perpetual record, and their respective deeds and accomplishments deserve more than a bare reference in the current chronicles of the ...
