A world of beauty, light, and power, but can they learn fast enough? The Dark Vests are mounting an attack. A Musicular has been discovered, the Laxinti are being captured, and Xylo is preparing a bridge that will cripple the Brilliants if he's not stopped. THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES

The Three Vests II: The Musicular

The attack came without warning. The Brilliants couldn't have anticipated such a move from Xylo. Now what they have cherished for so long has been destroyed. Most of the Laxinti are gone. The Weavers, missing. What was once a bright and living world has been stripped away by the Dark Vests. But there's still hope . . . a light within the darkness. The Rod of Recall can change the course of time, but fining and surviving the Dark Triangle will not be easy. Guarding the evil lair are Knights, the likes of which the Brilliants have never seen. If they manage to get through the icy warriors, only a Musicular will be able to face the Rain of Fatigue and what lies beyond. If ever the Brilliants needed heroes, it's now.

The Three Vests III: Heroes

All Maxfield superstores have sixteen marked aisles. Never seventeen. And at no point should an aisle be barren of product. When fifteen-year-old Mary Gasseling finds aisle 17 empty, she's surprised. For one, her father, who manages the store, would never allow this to happen and two, the aisle seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Mary soon realizes that the aisle is anything but normal. Struggling with her mother's sudden death two years ago, Mary avoids being home alone by visiting her mother's grave after school before going to her father's store to help. The old caretaker, Horace, even sets out a folding chair she's such a frequent visitor. Little does Mary know the connection between the mysterious aisle and the cemetery she frequents will put her in great danger.

And that is not such a bad thing;A total of 99.7 percent of all US businesses have fewer than 500 employees. Eighty-six percent have fewer than 15 employees;The Greatest Generation was a bunch of dropouts(mostly). In 1950, only 25 percent of US adults had a high school diploma; fewer than six percent had a college degree. Now 92 percent have graduated from HS. About 35 percent have a four-year college degree; American workers speak 350 languages but nearly all speak English as well; German is the most common ancestry of American workers in 22 states and for the entire country; Only about one-third of the unemployed actually receive unemployment benefits; And much more
