Birds warbled, a little breeze bent the heads of the dandelions, and on the window sill of Mrs. Dunn’s kitchen a sweet-smelling huckleberry pie lay peacefully cooling on a tin plate. Then slowly and silently, from an upper window, a strange contraption began to descend upon the unsuspecting pie. It was shaped like a cross of wood, slightly larger than the pie tin. From each of its four points a nail protruded, head down. Around each nail were many turns of fine insulated copper wire.

  • Family Reading Booklist
    FAMILY READING BOOKLIST Biblical evaluations of wholesome books for your children and family by David E. Pratte www.gospelway.com/family Family Reading Booklist © Copyright, David E. Pratte, 1994, 2013 Introduction One of the greatest needs for families today is wholesome entertainment. Television, movies, music, etc., are generally filled with immorality, violence, and just plain depression and me- diocrity. Entertainment, like other areas of a Christian’s life, ought to encourage and challenge him to be a better person (Phil 4:8). Most families could use help in finding that kind of entertainment. One excellent source of entertainment can be good books; but many books, especially those written more recently, are also filled with immorality. How do we find good books? The purpose of this booklist is to review some good books I have come across that you may be interested in having your family read. Some of these may be considered “classics,” others are books I just happened across. You may have some difficulty finding some of the books, but you should have enough information here that your library can obtain them by interlibrary loan. I have looked for wholesome qualities in the books such as: faith in God, family devotion, honesty, hard work, courage, helpfulness to others, etc. I have also sought to avoid negative qualities such as sexual explicitness, profanity, violence, drinking alcohol, smoking, gambling, evolution, irreverence toward God, and other forms of ungodliness. I have tried to note when I found such qualities in books, good or bad. Some problems I have considered serious enough to eliminate a book from the list, but in other cases I have kept the book on the list but warned you about a problem.

DANNY DUNN AND THE ANTI-GRAVITY PAINT -- " A daydreaming youth accidently launches the first manned flight to outer space.

Weekly Reader Book Club. Whittlesey House. Brockhampton Press. Scholastic. Pocket Books. Danny Dunn Time Traveler by Jay Williams. Danny Dunn and the Swamp Monster is the 12th book in the series, and was published in 1971. The plot revolves around the search for a mysterious creature, the Lau, that lives in the swamps of northeastern Africa. Given the locations mentioned, it appears to be somewhere in what is now South Sudan, but the final place names do not appear to be known to Google Maps, and so the exact location remains a mystery, as it should be. Of course, it wouldn't be a Danny Dunn story without a cool science MacGuffin, and this episode's contribution is a room temperature superconductor that Professor Bulfinch cooks up in his lab. This time the accident that creates something that scientists have spent decades and millions of dollars searching for, is as much the Professor's fault as Danny's. Simply overcook a pot of polymer on the stove and then give it an electrical shock, and you have something that would change the world as we know it .
