Simon sat at his desk in his room, doing homework. A tapping on the window distracted him. He looked up and saw Lisa and Jack. Simon went to the window and opened it. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “How do you know where I live?” Lisa ignored his questions. “Do you want to come out with us? We’re going to the cemetery.” Simon didn’t want to go to the cemetery. He’d been there last month with his parents. They’d been on a ghost tour, and Simon had seen a real ghost. He tried to think of some excuse. “Umm… it’s getting dark,” said Simon. “So?” said Jack. “I have homework to finish.” “So?” Jack frowned at Simon. “Are you scared?” “No,” Simon answered quickly. “Come on. It’ll be fun. We might even see more ghosts.” Jack’s frown turned to a smile. “In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that we will.” Are there such things as ghosts? And what will Simon find in the cemetery at night? Read this creepy tale to find out!

In her warm and witty new memoir, Stella Suberman charms readers with her personal perspective as she recalls the original 1940s GI Bill. As she writes of the bill and the epic events that spawned it, she manages, in her crisp way, to personalize and humanizes them in order to entertain and to educate. Although her story is in essence that of two Jewish families, it echoes the story of thousands of Americans of that period. Her narrative begins with her Southern family and her future husband’s Northern one – she designates herself and her husband as “Depression kids” – as they struggle through the Great Depression. In her characteristically lively style, she recounts the major happ...
In 1917, Fort Ord was established in the tiny subdivision of Seaside, California. Over the course of the 20th century, it held great national and military importance—a major launching point for World War II operations, the first base in the military to undergo complete integration, the West Coast's most important training base for draftees in the Vietnam War, a site of important civil rights movements—until its closure in the 1990s. Alongside it, the city of Seaside took form. Racial Beachhead offers the story of this city, shaped over the decades by military policies of racial integration in the context of the ideals of the American civil rights movement. Middle class blacks, together w...
