What we found in the corn maze and how it saved a dragon / by Clark, Henry,1952-author.(CARDINAL)402003;
Ages 8-12.An ordinary day turns extraordinary when twelve-year-old Cal witnesses his neighbor Modesty summon a slew of lost coins without lifting a finger. Turns out she has a secret manual of magic spells . . . but they only work sometimes. And they're the most boring spells ever: To Change the Color of a Room, To Repair a Chimney, To Walk With Stilts, To Untangle Yarn. Useless! But when Cal, his friend Drew, and Modesty are suddenly transported to the world the spells come from -- a world that's about to lose its last dragon -- they'll have to find a way to use the oddly specific incantations to save the day, if only they can figure out when magic works. From the inventive mind of Henry Clark comes a hilariously wacky adventure about magic, friendship, a lookout tower come to life, a maze in the shape of a dragon, an actual dragon named Phlogiston, and lots and lots of popcorn.Accelerated Reader AR

The end of ordinary : a novel / by Ashton, Edward(Science fiction writer),author.(CARDINAL)857443;
"Drew Bergen is an Engineer. He builds living things, one gene at a time. He's also kind of a doofus. Six years after the Stupid War--a bloody, inconclusive clash between the Engineered and the UnAltered--that's a dangerous combination. Hannah is Drew's greatest project, modified in utero to be just a bit more than human. She's also his daughter. Drew's working on a new project now. He thinks his team is developing a spiffy new strain of corn, but Hannah's classmate and her mysterious companion disagree. They think he's cooking up the end of the world. When one of Drew's team members disappears, he begins to suspect that they might be right. Soon they're all in far over their heads, with corporate goons and government operatives hunting them, and millions of lives in the balance. Energetic and bitingly satirical, The End of Ordinary is a riveting near-future thriller that asks an important question: if we can't get along when our differences are barely skin deep, what happens when they run all the way down to the bone?"--Page 4 of cover

Remembering the Great Flood of 1916 [videorecording] : Come hell or high water / by Weintraub, David.(CARDINAL)433814; Center for Cultural Preservation (Hendersonville, N.C.); North Carolina Humanities Council.(CARDINAL)275510;

But the Great Flood is more than a history lesson. Its also a cautionary tale of where we build our homes, how we live our lives and what we do to protect ourselves and the environment the next time nature raises its ugly head again in a flood prone area like Western North Carolina." -- Back cover.Fism was made possible by the generous support of North Carolina Humanities Council and others.DVD.Title from title screen (viewed December 18, 2016).

The Carroll County courthouse tragedy / by Hall, Ronald W.(CARDINAL)335689;
Includes bibliographical references.On a cold spring morning in March of 1912, in the small mountain town of Hillsville in Carroll County, Virginia, Old Man Floyd Allen was being tried for forcibly taking his two young nephews from two deputy sheriffs who had arrested them. Floyd's reputation as a fighting man and his ongoing battle with the local political machine attracted a lot of public interest and drew a large crowd into the small courtroom that day. Little did they know that the innocent kiss stolen by Floyd's nephew at the corn shucking over a year ago, would lead to a gun fight resulting in the death of five people, the wounding of seven the execution of two more and the incarceration of four others. It is a story of violence, political intrigue, a lover's betrayal and death. The first analytical look at the tragedy that shocked the nation and dominated the front pages of newspapers for an entire month until surpassed in tragic news copy of the sinking of the Titanic. Travel back to the mountains of backwoods Virginia, when armed men still traveled on horseback and in buggies and lived by a code that did not permit the taking of an insult from any man. In those years before the coming of the motorcar and paved roads, when there were still living veterans of the War for Southern Independence, undercover political deals were as common as today. However, men were as apt to settle their differences, both political and personal, with the gun as with the lawbook.

But you scared me the most : and other short stories / by Manderino, John.(CARDINAL)382634;
Many of the stories are modern takes on classic monsters crafted with twisted plots. The Wolfman of "Wolfman and Janice" is doing the best he can under very trying circumstances, especially when confronted with eating his elderly neighbor&#x2019;s cat. There&#x2019;s an adolescent vampire-wannabe who is suffering badly: in love for the first time. "Frankenstein and His Mother" is a terrifying story of a grown man who wears a Frankenstein mask, lives with his mother, and watches TV and eats corn chips all day, too afraid to work. "Dracula&#x2019;s Daughter" turns a pretentious hippie into an honest ghost. And Bigfoot--lonely, sexually frustrated--tells all. Other stories feature characters who seem perfectly normal until they're alone. Phil, for instance, is never so happy as when he&#x2019;s with his inflatable girlfriend, Vanessa--until she tells him the devastating truth about himself. Elderly Ellen is running out of patience with her dead husband George, who&#x2019;s turned prankish. "Bob and Todd" tells the story of a hitchhiking ride gone bad that will have readers squirming in their seats. More than just monster stories, the tales in <i>But You Scared Me the Most</i> reveal the dark heart of human nature. --
