If you’re here, then you most likely first read The Mad Scientists’ Club decades ago when you were a kid and probably got your paperback from Scholastic for a quarter. Now we’re pleased to offer a brand new 50th Anniversary Edition of these wonderful, imaginative stories in hardcover. To make it reminiscent of the Scholastic edition (which most of us are more familiar with) we’ve gone back to the original font which Scholastic used on the front cover. Also new for this edition is an introduction by Sheridan Brinley in which he describes the house his family lived in when his father wrote these stories, he also shares a picture with us of the room where his father had his office. We’ve put the old intro to the 40th Anniversary Edition at the end of the book so you won’t miss out on all those notes about the Mad Scientists’ Club. We think you’ll be pleased with this new collector’s edition for the true Mad Scientists’ Club fan! A strange sea monster appears on the lake…a fortune is unearthed from an old cannon…a valuable dinosaur egg is stolen. Watch out as the Mad Scientists turn Mammoth Falls upside down! Take seven, lively, “normal” boys — one an inventive genius — give them a clubhouse for cooking up ideas, an electronics lab above the town hardware store, and a good supply of Army surplus equipment, and you, dear reader, have a boyhood dream come true and a situation that bears watching. In the hands of an author whose own work involved technological pioneering, the proceedings are well worth undivided attention, as the boys explore every conceivable possibility for high and happy adventure in the neighborhood of Mammoth Falls. To the unutterable confusion of the local dignitaries — and the unalloyed delight of Bertrand Brinley’s fans — the young heroes not only outwit their insidious rival, Harmon Muldoon, but emerge as town heroes. Here, captured under one cover, are the fun-filled escapades of the young scientists whose exciting capers debuted in Boys’ Life fifty years ago. Author’s Edition with text restored from the original manuscripts.The Mad Scientists’ Club

From the Publisher: It was Ben Franklin who coined the phrase, "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," and if any historical drama fulfills that maxim, it is surely the saga of King John and the drafting of the Magna Charta.The Magna Charta

It was the day before Christmas in a small Russian village. Alexi’s babushka was telling him what Christmas was like when she was a girl-before the soldiers came. “Our church was as crowded as a pod full of peas. Candles made the church as bright as the sunniest day. Watching over us was the blessed icon of St. Nicholas.” Alexi had many questions, including, “Why can’t we celebrate Christmas tomorrow in St. Nicholas?” Babushka sadly replied that it would take a miracle after sixty years. Well, Alexi had heard enough. If there truly was such a thing as a miracle, why couldn’t it happen here? And so unfolds a story that poignantly reveals how, though quiet and hidden, faith and hope cannot be suppressed-by soldiers or by time.The Miracle of Saint Nicholas
