Awesome Activity Book

Instead of doing homework, he’d rather do these all-new brain-busting crossword puzzles, mazes, Sudoku puzzles, secret codes, and famous scribble games. Big Nate is the king of cartooning, so he’d love the goofy cartoons of his BFFs, Francis and Teddy, know-it-all Gina, his archrival, Artur, and un-favorite teacher, Mrs. Godfrey, a.k.a. Godzilla. And as a kid who thinks highly of himself, he’d be totally excited to take a trivia challenge all about, well, him. The Big Nate Doodlepalooza is a wonderful addition to the bestselling collection of Big Nate books, sure to be enjoyed by all aspiring cartoonists and fans of Big Nate.

An ABC Book

Little Willie John lived for a fleeting 30 years, but his dynamic and daring sound left an indelible mark on the history of music. His deep blues, rollicking rock ‘n’ roll and swinging ballads inspired a generation of musicians, forming the basis for what we now know as soul music.
 
Born in Arkansas in 1937, William Edward John found his voice in the church halls, rec centers and nightclubs of Detroit, a fertile proving ground that produced the likes of Levi Stubbs and the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and Hank Ballard and the Midnighters. One voice rose above the rest in those formative years of the 1950s, and Little Willie John went on to have 15 hit singles in the American rhythm & blues chart, with considerable cross-over success in pop. Some of his songs might be best known by their cover versions (“Fever” by Peggy Lee, “Need Your Love So Bad” by Fleetwood Mac and “Leave My Kitten Alone” by The Beatles) but Little Willie John’s original recording of these and other songs are widely considered to be definitive, and it is this sound that is credited with ushering in a new age in American music as the 1950s turned into the 60s and rock ‘n’ roll took its place in popular culture.
 
The soaring heights of Little Willie John’s career are matched only by the tragic events of his death, cutting short a life so full of promise. Charged with a violent crime in the late 1960s, an abbreviated trial saw Willie convicted and incarcerated in Walla Walla Washington, where he died under mysterious circumstances in 1968.
 
In this, the first official biography of one of the most important figures in rhythm & blues history, author Susan Whitall, with the help of Little Willie John’s eldest son Kevin John, has interviewed some of the biggest names in the music industry and delved into the personal archive of the John family to produce an unprecedented account of the man who invented soul music.

“Little Willie John is the soul singer’s soul singer.” –Marvin Gaye
 
“My mother told me, if you call yourself 'Little' Stevie Wonder you'd better be as good as Little Willie John." –Stevie Wonder
 
“Willie John was one of the most brilliant singers you would ever want to come across, bar none. There are things that were great, there are things that were good. Willie John was past great.” –Sam Moore
 
“Little Willie John did not know how to sing wrong, know what I mean?”–Dion
 
“Little Willie John was a soul singer before anyone thought to call it that.” –James Brown

All eleven-year-old Jason Adrian wanted to do this summer was go to soccer camp with his best friend. The one thing he didn’t want to do was get sent off to Grandma McIntire’s while his stepparents were off on a vacation for two, and his stepsister got to go to a camp that was perfect for her. But when two of the school bullies took Jason out during soccer tryouts, leaving him with a bad sprain that would take far too long to heal, it looked like Grandma McIntire’s was exactly where he was headed. Then opportunity knocked at Jason’s door-or more accurately, it rapped at his window. He probably should have guessed how weird things were going to get when a big crow attacked the window of his attic bedroom, and then went after Jason himself when he was foolish enough to take a look outside. That was the moment when everything started to go wrong. First a fall from the roof, then getting locked out, then the sprain that left him on the sidelines watching other kids being chosen for camp. And the really bizarre thing was that the crow had been clutching a torn off piece of paper with the message: “You may already have won….”But just when Jason was certain he was doomed for the summer, his English teacher, Mrs. Cowling, unexpectedly came to his rescue. Without telling Jason or his family, Mrs. Cowling had entered an essay of Jason’s in a special contest. And now he was being offered the chance to go to Camp Ravenwyng, a small place that was offering a free summer stay to kids with creativity and imagination. It sounded crazy but it was sure better than staying with an old lady who refused to get cable TV and thought jello was the high point of dessert. And with his English teacher’s assurances that it was a wonderful opportunity, even his overprotective stepmother couldn’t refuse. So a few days later Jason found himself boarding a funky little bus with a small group of kids and two very eccentric-looking counselors. The ride to Ravenwyng was the first tip-off that this was not going to be your run-of-the-mill camp, not when they suddenly went from nowhere to somewhere and time itself seemed to become totally confused in the process. And that was only the beginning. Before Jason’s time at Ravenwyng was done, he was going to make some great new friends, encounter some terrifying enemies that were out of this world, and discover things about himself and his own unique talents that he never would have believed. For Camp Ravenwyng was built on the border of some very unusual territory, land that was about to become a battleground between the Ravenwyngers-otherwise know as the Magickers-and their ancient enemies, the Dark Hand of Brennard. And the only chance the Magickers had of winning was if they could teach their new recruits to master their magical powers before the Hand attacked…
