MY SUMMER (WITH ROBOTS):
Book 1 in the Quinton's Curious Mind series.
Quinton Wyatt's summer break before high school should be nothing but wall-to-wall fun. Instead, his best friend has stopped talking to him; his fiendish older sister has filled his head with tales of a sadistic high school ritual called "The Freshman Stomp"; and his divorced father has started dating the city's most notorious barfly. Maybe a robot rabbit and a boy from his past can help salvage Quinton's vacation and launch him into the difficult — but often hilarious — world of young adulthood.

THE RIVER YEARS:
Dawn Myers (author), Marsh Myers (editor), illustrated with photographs
In the 1950s, Lee’s Ferry was an isolated U.S. Geological Survey outpost. Located at the confluence of the Colorado and Paria Rivers near the mouth of the Grand Canyon, few federal employees wanted the post. But for Dean and Edna Tidball, Lee’s Ferry fulfilled a long-held dream to live like latter-day pioneers. The River Years is the true story of how one family’s fantasy of escaping modern society crashed headlong into the realities of the Atomic Age along the muddy banks of an unrelenting river.
