Characters you won't forget in four middle-grade novels from a writer who "has captivated young readers for a quarter of a century" (Corvallis Gazette-Times).
From mountain climbing to banana-eating contests, visiting a Kentucky farm to traveling to another world, these four middle-grade novels from Tom Birdseye have something for everyone.
A Tough Nut to Crack: Eighth-grader Cassie Bell's father and grandfather had a falling-out years ago, so she's never met him. But when Grandpa Ruben is injured in a tractor accident, the family travels from Oregon to his Kentucky farm. From the way her dad talks about him, she pictured a mean old man, but her grandfather is lively, goofy, and loving. Still, Dad and Grandpa Ruben can barely stand to be in the same room. Can Cassie find a way to get them back together again?
"The novel's simplicity, humor, action, and warmth will appeal to a broad range of readers." -School Library Journal
Storm Mountain: Thirteen-year-old Cat Taylor's father and uncle, a famous search-and-rescue team, died on Storm Mountain two years ago. When her cousin Ty impulsively takes their ashes to scatter on the mountain, Cat has no choice but to climb up after him. But when a blizzard traps them, Cat and Ty realize they could be the next ones to die on Storm Mountain.
"A touching story about a daughter who wants to honor her mountaineer father. Will appeal to aspiring young climbers who want a taste of the big peaks. Tom Birdseye has more than thirty years of mountaineering experience, and it shows in this page-turning work." -Climbing
The Eye of the Stone: While walking through the woods on his thirteenth birthday, Jackson Cooper takes shelter in a cave to avoid a storm. When he pulls a peculiar stone from the wall, he is suddenly transported to another world. The inhabitants of this strange new place called Timmra believe that Jackson is the chosen one, a promised gift from their god to protect them, and now he must find the courage to fight an evil monster.
"The story provides plenty of excitement for adventure fans. . . . [A] fast-paced fantasy." -Booklist
I'm Going to Be Famous: Arlo Moore's favorite book of all time is The Guinness Book of World Records, and now he is determined to break the world record for eating his favorite food-bananas. He only needs to consume seventeen in less than two minutes. Should be easy, right? Except that when everyone starts betting on Arlo's chances of beating the record, his principal forbids him from training at school. But nothing's going to stop Arlo from his moment of fame-even if everyone thinks he's bananas.
"[A] fast-paced, furiously funny story." -Booklist

Autoren-Porträt von Tom Birdseye
As a kid, Tom Birdseye was decidedly uninterested in writing-or any academic aspect of school, for that matter-never imagining that he would eventually become a published author. And yet, nineteen titles later-novels, picture books, and nonfiction-that is exactly what has happened. His work has been recognized for its excellence by the International Reading Association, Children's Book Council, National Council of Social Studies, Society of School Librarians International, Oregon Library Association, and Oregon Reading Association, among others. Combined, his books have either won or been finalists for state children's choice awards forty-three times. Life, it seems, is full of who'd-a-thought-its. He lives and writes in Corvallis, Oregon, but launches mountaineering expeditions to his beloved Cascades on a regular basis. Bibliographische Angaben
