I like how Shelby’s brain works. A lot of this book is about Shelby’s internal reactions to the unthinkable situation she finds herself in. Sherrard’s story flows with great tension, and has unforeseen plot twists that I never saw coming. Review: Eyes of a Stalker by Valerie Sherrard deals with serious themes without too much grittiness, although if I am haunted by the cover in my dreams, I would not be surprised. Shelby and her parents seek help from the police, but until the stalker is caught, everyone must live with the uncertainty of what he will do next. Someone is stalking Shelby, and he is willing to hurt the people she loves to get to her. But when a lily that isn’t from her boyfriend, Greg, is delivered to her, it sets in motion a sequence of events that change her overall perspective on life. Summary: Shelby Belgarden is an average high school student, besides the fact that she has solved a few mysteries in the past.

The disparate worlds of the wise guy and the geeks collide in 1938, and the result is Action Comics #1, the debut of Superman. Later, two high school friends in Cleveland, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, become avid fans of 'scientifiction,' the new kind of literature promoted by their favorite pulp magazines. The story begins early in the last century, on the Lower East Side, where Harry Donenfeld rises from the streets to become the king of the 'smooshes'-soft-core magazines with titles like French Humor and Hot Tales. "This history of the birth of superhero comics highlights three pivotal figures. Animated by the stories of some of the last century's most charismatic and conniving artists, writers, and businessmen, Men of Tomorrow brilliantly demonstrates how the creators of the superheroes gained their cultural power and established a crucial place in the modern imagination. Part story of the human past, part soap opera of modern scholarly life, part textbook on the practice of modern archaeology, this book should appeal to general readers and archaeological students alike. Balter, the excavation’s official biographer, is a fine storyteller and reporter. The result is a skillful telling of many stories about both past and present: of the inhabitants of Neolithictalh y k and the development of human creativity and ingenuity, as revealed in the recent excavation of James Mellaart, the original excavator, whose troubles off the mound eventually overshadowed his incisive work at the site of Hodder and his intense, brilliant crew who marveled and squabbled over the meaning of finds in dusty trenches while attempting to reintepret Mellaart's work and of the recent history of the theory and methods of archaeology itself.
