BLACK HISTORY / SLAVERY / HOMESTEADING.  This is a work of historical fiction. It is based on the real character of a true, black slave who escaped from a Southern plantation in the 1850s to establish a dairy in the Pacific Northwest.  Follow his narrow escapes from the South to St. Louis. Then venture west to the Oregon Territory, where Juba homesteaded by a stream, to be known as Negro Creek, carrying the same name today in Whitman County, Washington, near Rock Lake.  All that remains to remind us of his presence is Negro Creek, a meandering stream that flows from a hillside south of Spokane and quietly murmurs: "He was here, he was here." But wherever he went, Juba was judged by the color of his skin.

FANTASY / MAGIC / ADVENTURE 
This story is about a Montana boy named Eric who goes to visit Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Les on their farm. There is no TV in the house, and Eric gets bored and looks around for something to do. His aunt goes to the attic and brings down a book. He sees a dragon sleeping on the front page of the book, but there are no words on the other pages. He asks his aunt about this and she says: No, of course, there are no words on the pages, Eric. The dragon has not told you the stories yet! As the dragon tells the stories, the words appear on the pages. The words spoken by the dragon are in cinnamon color. This book has lots of adventure, mystery, and exciting times . . . but NO VIOLENCE therein. It is the goal of the authors to offer children and adults a good fantasy-read without the usual violence: "We call this book our Montana Fairytale."
