"Grand Resorts of Maine - 1906" represents an era in time and the relationships of three Maine grand resorts, all operated under the guidance of one family, the Rickers of South Poland, Maine. It also connects these resorts to Maine's largest and most historic railroad, Maine Central Railroad, incorporated in 1862. Bradley Peters, a Mainer most of his life, researched and authored the book with his wife, Jan Ross. He was with Maine Central Railroad for nearly twenty years, eight of those years as vice president.

Naval architect Geerd N. Hendel (1903–1998) lived in midcoast Maine and designed a truly amazing variety of watercraft. His designs are sophisticated and polished yet respond admirably to the functions they were to perform. Hendel designed the Boothbay Harbor One Design, recreational sailboats, sportfishmen, yachts, trawlers, and logging towboats. He was a pioneer in designing aluminum boats for saltwater use.

Maine's Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument was two years young when Laurie Chandler embarked on a unique journey. After trekking its panoramic peaks on the International Appalachian Trail, she traded her hiking boots for a solo canoe. Taking the long way round, the author followed age-old waterways into the upper watershed of the Penobscot River’s East Branch, then descended its wild waters and quiet byways through the heart of the monument. Hers is a story of shared discovery, highlighting the region’s rich history and natural wonders.

Three strikes and you’re out was the rule, but Tobin knew this wasn’t about baseball. Stealing the baler key and the distributor wire—did that count as one or two? Playing on the tree in the river had been a big mistake. AND not telling the truth. That probably counted as three strikes all by itself. What if they don’t want me anymore? she thought. What if they send me away? Tobin is eleven, the daughter of an Irish mother and a father from India. Her parents have died and now she lives with a family on a ranch in the Colorado Rockies. A judge might send her to a foster home, and a boy at her new sixth-grade class says, “We don’t want your kind here!” But her greatest challenge is day-to-day life with no memories of the past—not the accident—not even her parents. “Amnesia,” her new mom explains. “Your memories will return in time.” Tobin listens to the wisdom of John, the Native American ranch manager, makes new friends, and faces off with the classroom bully. In the end, she relies on her inner strength and a deepening connection with nature to find a path forward. Young readers will enjoy Tobin’s adventures. Parents and grandparents can share Tobin’s story as a read-aloud. Professionals can use the book with a group, in a classroom, a home-school setting, or in counseling.
