Carlson's Raiders
6 pp · non-fiction; biography; war

Lt. Colonel Evan F. Carlson leads his famous Raiders in a daring August 1942 raid on Makin Island in the Gilbert Islands, aiming to cripple a Japanese counter-attack threatening Allied control of the Solomon Islands. Working with Major Roosevelt and the U.S. Marines, Carlson's men employ guerrilla tactics learned from fighting alongside Chinese forces—striking swiftly, sabotaging enemy communications and supplies, and adapting to chaos on the fly. During forty intense hours of occupation, the Raiders inflict devastating casualties and destruction on the Japanese forces, proving themselves as one of the Pacific War's most formidable fighting units.

Pug and Curly Find the Easy Way
8 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When autumn arrives and winter looms, Pug and Curly the squirrels set out to find a faster way to stock their acorn storehouse than hauling them one by one. Their schemes with a roller skate and a garden hose lead to mishaps and unexpected detours, but the two determined pals refuse to give up—until they stumble upon an ingenious solution involving a helpful tunnel-digging neighbor. This lighthearted romp from Red Goose Comic Selections #3 proves that the easiest path isn't always the most obvious one.

This Sergeant Is a Lady
4 pp · non-fiction; biography; military

An American journalist stranded in wartime England when she decides to stay and serve, Sergeant Helen Cline works her way from first aid nursing to become instructor of the British Army's first all-woman radio repair school—training former housewives to keep military wireless equipment operational across the front. This true wartime biography chronicles how one woman's determination and resourcefulness transformed her from a writer hoping to travel Europe into a decorated soldier making a real difference in the fight.

Thunderbird
4 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war

During a bombing run near Tripoli in January 1943, the U.S. Flying Fortress "Thunderbird" tangles with a swarm of German fighters, taking heavy damage that leaves it limping home on just two engines. With an 1,800-foot mountain range blocking the route back to base and fuel running dangerously low, the crew must navigate through a narrow pass and survive repeated mirages in the desert before finding safety. This non-fiction account celebrates the grit and quick thinking of the aircraft and its crew as they overcome impossible odds to return to the fight.

The Fighting Seabees
6 pp · non-fiction; military

The U.S. Navy's Construction Battalions—the Seabees—are skilled workers trained to be fighting engineers, built from the lessons learned at Wake Island where civilian builders lacked military training. This story follows their rigorous selection, combat instruction, and practical training, then tracks their real-world missions constructing and repairing bases across the Pacific while proving they can accomplish what experts declare impossible. From landing beach operations and runway construction to raising sunken drydocks and battle-damage repairs, the Seabees demonstrate they're ready for anything the war demands.
