In 1952 at the age of five years old, Lion Leatherton is told that his mother has passed away. A few days after the funeral, Lion discovers that his brother Sid was killed in a car accident under suspicious circumstances, leaving him to live alone with Henry, his abusive father. On the day Lion returns home from overseas, he is stunned to learn that Sid is alive. Sid tells him that their uncle Billy Ray was responsible for his accident and how he is proudly using semi-famous reputation for being a pimp and a sheriff to publish his life story. Sid enlightens Lion how Billy Ray threatened their parents for years because they refused to sign over the deed to several blocks of the historical Fort Worth Stockyards, which is worth millions of dollars. With his family secrets behind him, Lion graduates from college. After a few years, Lion discovers that he has a serious illness. With nothing to lose, he moves in with Sid and becomes an actor. Unfortunately, Billy Ray is represented by the same theatrical agent who is trying to sell his screen rights. Unexpectedly, Lion meets Annie , the love of his life. To his surprise, he begins to make a name for himself as an actor and becomes friends with a few powerful Hollywood insiders. After constantly being harassed by Billy Ray, Lion is forced to physically express his anger. Billy Ray promises revenge. During the next few years, Billy Ray makes an appearance on the set each time Lion works on a project. Lion becomes tired of being preoccupied with Annie's safety and breaks off their engagement. Realizing he is mentally exhausted, he makes a vow never to audition again after a life-changing meeting in Los Angeles, and he accepts an entry-level position at a television network affiliate.

Texas is a diverse state. But the one thing that binds Texans more than their state pride, even more than religion, is football. For the many towns and cities of Texas, high school football is more than a sport or an extracurricular activity—it’s the glue of their community. Author Gray Levy, a high school football coach for more than two decades, became disillusioned with the state of the education system nationwide and traveled to Texas, a place where high school football still matters, to see just what schools and communities were doing right. What he found will both confirm and debunk common presumptions about high school football in Texas, a complex phenomenon that varies by region, school size, and the ethnic diversity of the Lone Star State.

A lyrical picture book biography of Edward White, the first American to walk in space--and an ode to the beauty and wonder of the stars that brought him there. Edward White loved the night, lived where stars were big and bright. The evening sky-- so wide, so high. Made him wonder. Made him sigh. Edward White was the first American astronaut to walk in space. But before his spacewalk, he was just a boy who loved the stars. As he grew up, he would look up at the night sky in wonder--he knew that, one day, he would visit the stars themselves. In this touching and poignant picture book biography, we see how Edward's passion for the stars shaped the course of his life, and how he came to realize, even in the depths of space, what was ultimately most important to him--his family. With backmatter containing photos and more information on Edward's life, Candy Wellins and Courtney Dawson deliver a book that is as much a feast for readers' eyes as the stars were for Edward's. Praise for The Stars Beckoned: "The right stuff for children with the stars in their eyes." --Kirkus Reviews "An introduction to a space pioneer that’s ideal for the youngest nonfiction readers." --Publishers Weekly
