Brian McSpadden is always hungry. Does he have a disease? Worms? Does it have something to do with his being adopted? He spends his days at his crazy friend Danny’s house, hoping for snacks, but nothing seems to fill the void.Then Brian receives a mysterious birthday card that says, Free Pizza. He soon discovers the card has nothing to do with food and everything to do with the big questions in his life: where did I come from, why did my mother give me up and is there anyone out there who will like me the way I am?

While lounging in her pool, He/She the Elegant suddenly finds herself assaulted by a vicious smell, wafting over the walls of her bungalow chateau. Unable to bear the rancid reek contaminating her afternoon, she bundles up her two snide pekepoos and ventures out into the city on a mission to find the source of the smell. What follows is an epic quest - in a bustier, heels and a bombshell bouffant - where our girl bravely faces the deadly sins of Wrath, Lust, Gluttony and worst of all, Broken Nails.

This little girl loves to draw. The trouble is, no one can understand her scribbles. Is it a chicken gone berserk? Is it Frankenstein yawning? Oh, no she says, "It''s a pretty ballerina with a little ocarina and her pet chiquita cheetah singing Auld Lang Syne." No one can figure that out until Gramma comes along. From the pen of G.C. McRae and the paintbox of acclaimed illustrator David Anderson comes another quirky rhyming tale, just perfect for bedtime.

There''s nothing worse than losing your tooth before you can cash it in with the Tooth Fairy. But if you do, it''s nice to have a Dad who will stop at nothing to find it again. Even if it means taking apart the sink, the bathroom, even most of the house. From the pen of G.C.McRae, author of The Cannibal Anaconda, comes another stroke of goofiness.

Who ate all the chocolate? Who ate all the cheese and the chips? It was the cannibal anaconda and his band of mutineers with their gribby grabby hands and their ten foot spears . . .Some kids blame the dog. Some kids blame an imaginary friend. But this boisterous little boy thinks the bigger and scarier the culprit sounds, the more he''ll be off the hook. With this addictive rhyming tale, G.C. McRae and acclaimed illustrator David Anderson deliver a tour-de-force of silly. What the heck is a cannibal anaconda? And who would believe such a thing? Apparently, this unrepentant little guy does. And even when he gets his just desserts, he licks his lips and digs his spoon in.

A girl who loves sneaking. Seven daughters who all pretend to be the same person. A witch who tricks a man into carving his own children out of stone. And just for good measure, a giant or two, who may or may not be friendly. In the Seven Tales, G.C.McRae proves he is a master of the ancient art of storytelling. With shades of 1001 Nights, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, McRae's original fairy tales bring a freshness and hilarity to the world of castles and queens.

When something crashes through the trees behind the old farmhouse and burns a path to the lake, Kana and his cousin Davis learn how dangerous it can be to unravel a mystery. Is it a cruise missile? An alien space ship? Kana is a city kid stuck in the country for the weekend. Instead of skate parks and cell service, there are cow pies, dead chickens and a big dog named Gloop. Then there is Mason, the most annoying neighbor kid in the known universe. They can see the gleaming silver thing floating out in the lake. How will they retrieve it without Mason finding out? And what will they discover when they finally get it open?
