Imagine all animals having the power of speech; species cooperating with each other to build rich societies; others equally determined to tear them down! This is a tale of such a world, in an 'hour of need.'Great burdens may be by unlikely heroes borne. And few heroes are more 'unlikely' than the arrogant young Donkey who hopes to tread in the hoofprints of his Grandsire, the illustrious Donkie Otie. Yet the fates have decreed that the naïve young Jack is destined to save the One True Realm from a devastating and ruinous war . . . or die trying! Can he do it on his own? Obviously not!After an absence of ten generations, an Immortal Guardian has been called back. The Guardian (resembling an enormous panda and possessed of two distinct personalities) grudgingly takes up the burden of keeping the young fool in one piece long enough for him to be thrown into the fray. Along the way they assemble a small cast of supporting characters: A tormented three-legged Chihuahua with an agenda of their own; an amoral, cynical Japanese Macaque; an orphaned young 'bald ape' with strong survival skills and a powerful female gorilla with a mysterious past. The story moves through a world that is very different from and yet uncomfortably similar to our own. The narrative can be whimsical, funny, touching, ironic, heartbreaking and (occasionally) a little bit romantic as it races to a dramatic and exciting conclusion.

Whether or not you believe in ghosts, the true-life experience of Arthur Mills deserves consideration. Find out who Candle Face was, her taunting behavior, and how she turned a boy's childhood into a living nightmare in The Empty Lot Next Door.The Empty Lot Next Door storylineIn an Austin neighborhood, Ray (Arthur's childhood name) and his family excitedly moved into a small house in the midst of a big, green lawn. Beside their house is a strange, vacant lot where a house once stood, and a huge hole in the back lies mysteriously. As a young boy with many new friends, Ray considers the empty lot an exciting playground. But the tale behind the lot keeps the boy intrigued and frightened as he learns that the house that was once there was burned down years ago, leaving a girl dead amid the fire. As the neighborhood kids say, the little girl will haunt anyone who dares to jump into the hole. Determined to validate the authenticity of this tale, Ray daringly and mistakenly challenges the ghost, a challenge that he will forever regret. Soon, he becomes haunted by the little girl, whom he named Candle Face, due to her charred face and body. The apparition began visiting his dreams and leaving handprints and other signs around the house, even when Ray was awake. The Empty Lot Next Door is more than a ghost story. It's also a story of the desperation, pain, and helplessness experienced by children whose parents work long hours away from home, necessarily leaving them to fend for themselves against real and imagined evils. It's about sibling abuse and the scars that such abuse leaves on the victims and the abusers. The Empty Lot Next Door is also a story of an intense struggle of a child to make sense of the world without communicating his fears and thoughts to the adults in his life since he doesn't want to add to the family's problems.What the critics are sayingCritics agree that The Empty Lot Next Door is a ghost story at its finest, perhaps all the more so because it's a true story. Professional book critic Lisa McCurley says, "After the first night of sleeping with the light on, I ended up taking off two afternoons from work to finish it which is all it took because I couldn't put this book down." Kirkus Reviews agrees, "In a coming-of-age story that's well paced and layered with emotion, Mills creates moments of true suspense through guileless prose as he unearths a family tragedy." Anyone who enjoys being scared or wants to investigate whether ghosts are real will add The Empty Lot Next Door to the must-read list.Award-winning bookWhen Arthur Mills wrote The Empty Lot Next Door, some neighbors and family quit speaking to him; they didn't want to acknowledge the local element of his true-life story of ghosts, suicide, and bullying, but that didn't stop his new book from winning awards.Reader Choice Awards (First Edition)Kids Award for Best Teen / Young Adult Book of the YearTeen (12-16) - First PlaceRegional South - First PlaceParenting, Family, and Relationships - Honorable MentionHow can The Empty Lot Next Door contribute to your personal and intellectual growth?The Empty Lot Next Door immerses readers in an intriguing mystery laden with supernatural elements that provoke thought and challenge perceptions.

Archeologists, historians, anthropologists, literary analysts, and others tend to assume that, if a man was leading an ancient culture, it must already have been a patriarchy.However, we now know that most cultures began as gynocentric cultures, valuing women above men in spiritual and social structures because of women's natural ties to the cosmos through menstruation and childbirth.Even at first contact with the Spanish, the Aztecs fervently believed women were waging battle, hence the monthly bleeding, with powers from other realms in order to bring new souls to this one. So deeply did they believe this idea that male warriors often tried to obtain the body parts of women who died in childbirth in order to carry their potent magic with them into combat, so that they, like menstruating female warriors, could bleed but not die. This form of sympathetic magic led to circumcision's prominence around the world today.Dr. Heflin uses her scholarly background with American Indian cultures to examine ancient symbols, myths, and cultural concepts from cultures that developed writing in the Eurasian Bronze Age, as well as from Mesoamerican cultures, demonstrating that, once humanity learned that males play a biological role in procreation (the "first biology experiment"), men used that information to transcend women's spiritual powers, transforming powerful Female Magic into "sinister" elements to be feared and reviled over the course of several centuries, tracing this process through changes in language, such as the Akkadian word for women, "sinnestra" which becomes our word "sinister."Demonstrating how males had to use violence and the threat of violence (toxic masculinity) in order to hold sway over their cultures, Dr. Heflin fully demonstrates how women were the original creators, scientists, literal "homemakers," and community builders prior to the rise of the patriarchy during the Eurasian Bronze Age.
