Mississippi River Blues: (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) (Cracked Classics #2)
by Tony Abbott&“This affectionate if somewhat irreverent homage would probably win a chuckle from Twain himself&” as pals tumble into Tom Sawyer (School Library Journal). Sixth graders Devin and Frankie—short for Francine—are the greatest goof-offs in the history of their school. When their teacher tells them to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, they skip it. When there&’s a surprise test on the novel, they hide. But when they accidentally drop the school&’s prized Mark Twain autograph through the library&’s magic metal detector, they find themselves transported to the world of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Soon these modern middle schoolers learn that being a troublemaker is timeless, as they whitewash a fence, run away from home, solve a murder mystery, become pirates, and search for hidden treasure along with Tom and Huck, the original slackers. &“Reminiscent of Mary Pope Osborne&’s &‘Magic Tree House&’ series, but for an older audience,&” the second book in Tony Abbott&’s Cracked Classics series is a perfect introduction to Mark Twain for reluctant readers (School Library Journal).

Mistborn: Secret History
by Brandon SandersonMistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy. As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning. Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best. In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books). Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story's existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There's always another secret.
