Down the Mysterly River by Bill Willingham

From the #1 New York Times bestselling creator of Fables, Bill Willingham’s first novel for children is a spirited, by turns harrowing, laugh-out-loud, and highly original fantasy in the vein of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Complete with illustrations by Fables artist Mark Buckingham, it is a spirited, highly original tale of adventure, suspense, and everlasting friendship.

Max “the Wolf” is a top notch Boy Scout, an expert at orienteering and a master of being prepared. So it is a little odd that he suddenly finds himself, with no recollection of his immediate past, lost in an unfamiliar wood… But unless he can solve the mystery of the strange forested world he’s landed in, Max may find himself and his friends changed beyond recognition, lost in a lost world…

God Theories by Ken Ungerecht

Never discuss religion or politics, as the saying goes, if you want to keep the peace. But it’s clear that old adage hasn’t really been too effective. Prejudice, discrimination, intolerance, and wars—all in the name of God—have been an integral part of the human condition for at least as long as that condition has been recorded. But the price on these addictions is getting pretty steep. It could be the time has come when we will have to give them up. I don’t expect we’ll all quit cold turkey; but maybe some honest, open, sit-down heart-to-hearts might help to see us through. Maybe not, but if you think there’s half a chance, then I say, “Let’s start the conversation.”
