The Privateer
Flight Engineer Peter Raeder's unorthodox but heroic tactics have landed him a desk job, but a Marine General is willing to help him get back into space, offering a suicide mission on the border with enemy territory. Original.
The Teacher's Funeral
When 15-year-old Russell Culver's mean old teacher drops dead shortly before school starts in August of 1904, he thinks it could be an opportunity for him to leave his Indiana farm and ride the rails out west for rollicking adventure. But, much to his horrified dismay, his own iron-willed big sister Tansy becomes the new teacher. The boys' privy in the school catches fire, a puff adder appears in Tansy's desk, the stove blows up, and Aunt Fanny winds up stuck in a ditch, but life at Hominy Ridge School keeps going, with a continuous stream of shocking new inventions like the telephone, the horseless carriage, and the Edison Victrola changing everyone's lives forever. Peck masterfully evokes gentle rural life at the turn of the century and creates a memorable cast of characters, including classmates Flopears (a dullard) and Little Britches, a painfully shy girl. Peck weaves plenty of humor into this comical tale of a boy maturing in a time of unprecedented changes. A Kirkus Editor's Choice...

On the Road
Sal Paradise, a young writer, travels from New York to Los Angeles with his friend Dean Moriarty, and an assorted hodgepodge of women, bohemians, and others. Rich descriptions of characters, places and music show Kerouac's exuberance and his love of the freedom of the road. Revolutionary not only in subject matter but also in style, this book (written in 1950) launched the Beat movement and crowned Jack Kerouac its king. Autobiographical, as are most of Kerouac's books, ON THE ROAD involves characters who were Kerouac's real-life friends and Beat cohorts: Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Allan Ginsberg, William Burroughs (here appearing, as in Burroughs's own fiction, as the character Bill Lee). Publishing legend has it that Kerouac typed the manuscript frenziedly on large rolls of Teletype paper, not pausing for revision, and deposited these rolls on the desk of his startled editor.
