Hidden guns and heart-stopping adventure where not what eleven-year-old Chad and Penny were expecting to find in the trash barrel of Chad's mysterious and scary new neighbor. They were just collecting recyclable cans -- really! Chad and Penny are members of Earthkeepers, a club of concerned kids trying to do their part to clean up the environment. Figuring out why the gun was in the garbage was the easy part, compared with trying to figure out who the good guys and the bad guys are! They had no intention of trying to clean up the illegal gun trade. Or of getting involved with the FBI. Or of helping solve a mysterious murder in the park. It all just sort of... happened.

It all sort of depends on where it came from. Eleven-year-old Chad and Penny are sorting through discarded "junk," looking for something to recycle. But finding a headless tiger figurine doesn't help clean up anything. In fact, from there on out, things get pretty sticky.Chad and Penny are members of Earthkeepers, a club of concerned kids trying to do their part to clean up the environment. Their tendency to "fall into" mysteries is only slightly less amazing than their ability to unravel mysteries.This time, though, everyone seems involved: the FBI, the local police, a mysterious foreign "business" man, even Chad's mom. The closer they get to the mystery, the greater the danger. Are they up to the challenge?

Four years of free college were among the provisions of the GI Bill of Rights enacted by congress after World War II. In 1946, thousands of returning veterans with generous tuition and expense grants swelled America colleges and universities to overflowing. St. Olaf, a co-educational liberal arts college in Northfield, Minnesota, founded by Norwegian Lutheran immigrants in 1874, watched its freshman class double. Men were jammed into campus dormitories and the overflow in rooms everywhere -- in campus attics and basements, in a local orphans home, in a remodeled chicken house on the college farm, and in the homes of many local families. A clash of cultures followed. Blond, blue-eyed Lutheran innocents met these older battle-wise and worldly-wise survivors. The First Fall examines that conflict in the paring of unlikely roommates: eighteen-year-old Jon Adamson, the son of St. Olaf s Dean of Men, and Anthony Tarpezi, 27, still recovering from battle trauma he experienced in North Africa and Italy. In their struggle to be friends, roommates, and classmates, Jon and Tony differ in almost every way -- except their desire for the same co-ed -- the dark and beautiful Rhonda Rasmussen.
