Red Thunder (book)RED THUNDER
by John P. Hunter

At Yorktown, American and French troops under General George Washington defeated the powerful British Army. It was a place where cannons thundered, swords flashed, and the sky turned red. Yet it was also a place of whispered conspiracies, secret missions, and narrow escapes every bit as dangerous as the thrust of a bayonet. Inspired by the true story of James Lafayette, a slave-turned-spy, John Hunter's novel follows the adventures of young James, Nate Chandler, and Nate's huge dog. Using their wits, the three help the Americans win the battle of Yorktown and secure the nation's independence. Grades 4-8, paperback, 236 pages, retail $6.95 (only $5.56 through December 31, 2007!). To order with credit card, call 1-800-761-8331 or fax your Purchase Order to 757-565-8044. Use promotional code NOV07TG.


From Ear to Ear (CD)FROM EAR TO EAR
The Passage of African Music through American Slavery

Powerful and distinctive, improvisational and intricate. The music of Africa calls forth the spirits of the ancestors who greeted the birth of a child and the fruits of the harvest with song. In all things African, there is music. It is the essence of life from the secular to the sacred. This stirring CD developed by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation re-creates the lost and forgotten music performed by Africans in the 18th century, following the transformation of their unique music as they moved in forced bondage from Africa to the Caribbean and finally to America. Enhanced CD, includes interactive features, retail $17.95 (only $14.36 through December 31, 2007!). To order with credit card, call 1-800-761-8331 or fax your Purchase Order to 757-565-8044.
