Dig Bailey

When the "Red Banner" sets sail for Indian Point, Dig Bailey signs on as deck hand to investigate a series of ship fires that have mysteriously struck the Coastal Shipping fleet—each starting suddenly in darkness and escalating to catastrophic explosions. With help from his friends Zeke and Archie, Dig must track down whoever or whatever is behind the sabotage before the ship becomes the next victim in what looks like a carefully orchestrated plot. The clock is ticking as Dig uncovers suspicious clues aboard the vessel and the danger closes in.

"Dizzy" Dean

"Dizzy" Dean pitches his way from a dusty Arkansas town to stardom with the St. Louis Cardinals, armed with a blazing fastball and a talent for the unexpected. From his first strikeout as a kid to legendary records and World Series glory, this is the true story of baseball's most electrifying hurler and the remarkable arm that made him a household name.

Dusty Davis Goes Fishing
5 pp · Adventure
Dusty Davis

When Dad Davis takes Dusty and his brother Pinky on a fishing trip, the boys get a lesson in patience—but not quite the one their father expects. While Dusty and his dad head out on the lake with proper rods and tackle, Pinky stays behind on the shore with nothing but his imagination and whatever he can find in his pockets. As the hours drag on with barely a nibble for the professionals, the real catch might just belong to someone else entirely.
