Here's the gist of the story\:
Sailing aboard her father's ship is all 17-year-old Camille Rowen has ever wanted. But as a lady in 1855 San Francisco\, her future is set\: marry a man she doesn't love in order to preserve her social standing. On her last voyage before the wedding\, Camille learns the mother she has always believed dead is in fact alive and living in Australia. When their Sydney-bound ship goes down in a gale and her father dies\, Camille sets out to find her mother and a map in her possession - a map believed to lead to a stone that once belonged to the legendary civilization of the immortals. The stone can bring someone back from the dead. Unfortunately\, her father's adversary is also on the hunt for the stone\, and she must race him to it. The only person Camille can depend on is Oscar\, a handsome young sailor and her father's first mate\, who is in love with Camille and whom she is inexplicably drawn to despite his low social standing and her pending wedding vows.
Angie lives in New Hampshire with her husband and two daughters\, their big black lab\, and a pair of highly destructive cats.

Newly installed in a rickety Wisconsin farmhouse with thirty-seven acres of overgrown farmland\, a handful of chickens on order\, a pig pen to build\, and a baby due to be born in the upstairs bedroom\, Perry plumbs his unorthodox farm kid past for clues to navigating the present.
Jonathan Miles\, author of Dear American Airlines\, said of Coop\, "\;You can read Michael Perry's Coop as an outrageously funny comedy about a semi-hapless neophyte navigating the pitfalls (and pratfalls) of farming life. Please do\, in fact. But scratch a little deeper\, past Perry's lusciously entertaining and epigrammatic prose\, his ultra-charming combo of Midwestern earnestness and serrated wit\, and you'll find a reflective\, sincere\, and surprisingly touching - at times\, even heart-cracking - story about a man struggling to put down roots."\;

Join Scott M. Fischer for a high-energy performance / signing of his newest book\, Jump!.
If you were a frog in a bog and you saw a bug on a jug\, what would you do?
Nature's predatory pecking order reveals itself in bouncy rhymes and goofy illustrations. Each verse\, sung from the animal's perspective\, ends with an ellipsis\, followed by a double-page spread of the critter leaping to save its hide. Children will enjoy helping the animals scram by shouting "\;Jump!"\;\, which appears on these pages in large\, expressive lettering.
Fischer is a painter by birth\, a musician by training\, and a storyteller by choice. This is his first picture book\, but not the first book to feature his out-of-this-world pictures. He lives in western Massachusetts with his wife and daughter.
