After early struggles and a collision that taught him valuable lessons, Gordon went on to help lead the Yankees to pennant after pennant, earning recognition as one of the game's most dangerous hitters.

Murder by Moonlight
6 pp

When Abraham Lincoln's old friend Hannah Armstrong asks him to defend her son Duff against a murder charge, he takes the case despite the town's conviction of the boy's guilt. At trial, a damning witness claims to have seen Duff strike the victim with a heavy sling—but Lincoln's brilliant cross-examination reveals a crucial flaw in the testimony that changes everything. A masterful lesson in how careful questioning and a timely almanac check can expose the truth hiding in plain sight.

The Story of the Lopsided Plane and Its Escape from the Japs
4 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war

When Japanese bombers force Captain Hugh L. Woods to land his Douglas DC-3 transport plane on a remote Chinese airstrip in 1941, the aircraft takes devastating damage—but worse, the nearest replacement wing available from Hong Kong is five feet shorter than the original. With enemy planes patrolling overhead, Woods and a team of Chinese mechanics must hide the aircraft, install the mismatched wing under cover of darkness, and attempt the seemingly impossible: flying a dangerously lopsided plane to safety. It's a nail-biting race against time and enemy bombers that tests both pilot skill and sheer determination.
