Summer of rocks / by Greene, Jenna(Author);
It's the summer of 1990, and Amy (age 11), Beth (age 9), and Marion (age 6) are in for the family vacation of a lifetime. No, they're not going Disneyland, Hawaii, or on a Caribbean cruise. No, they're not flying to Germany to collect pieces of the Berlin Wall. They will be looking at rocks, though. Lots of rocks. So many rocks. You see, when your father is a geologist, that's what you do on your summer vacation. You drive for days to the British Columbia--Yukon border, strapped in the backseat of the family truck with your sisters, fighting over the Gameboy, listening to your parents tell you "fascinating" facts about the scenery, playing the Little Mermaid soundtrack on a loop, and trying not to get elbowed in the face. Doesn't that sound like a dream vacation? Well, it's no luxury trip, but it has its highlights--from camping under the stars to wading in natural hot springs to flying a helicopter! And for Amy, Beth, and Marion, the memories they make along the way will last a lifetime. At least that's what their parents tell them...Ages 9-12.

Under a rock : a memoir / by Stein, Chris,1950-author.; Harry, Debbie,writer of foreword.;
Debbie Harry defined iconic band Blondie's look. Chris Stein - her performing partner, lover, and lifelong friend - was its architect and defined its sound.

Famous names march through these pages -- Warhol, Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more -- but you can get famous names anywhere. What you can't get anywhere else is a plunge into the moments that made a giant 1980's artistic sensation. Stein takes us there in this revelatory, propulsive, distinctive memoir.
