Me, Johnny, and The Babe ,  By   Mark Wirtshafter , Free  This is the story of two 12-year-old boys who were best friends growing up on the mean streets of the Kensington section of Philadelphia. It chronicles their friendship and the conflicts that they faced. It also tells the remarkable, untold true story of how Babe Ruth came to their local parish to play in one incredible baseball game. On a September day in 1923, Babe Ruth was whisked away from the Yankees game to play charity baseball to raise money to pay off the debt for their field. That day would forever change the lives of these two friends. Coming of age in the era of prohibition two young boys find themselves facing the many challenges and dangers of the inner-city.

From the moment Babe put on the Ascension of Our Lord Parish un...

But normal kids don’t bring their toys to life for afternoon tea or see the colorful threads of magic and energy clinging to everything around them.  Normal kids don’t know that gargoyles feel pain, either, or invite one to live in their closet.  On her sixth birthday, Alessandra begins to learn the truth. She’s special, and the men in the black van are coming for her. #2 - Mismatch Mismatch hasn’t always been a statue standing guard over the Temple of Artemis.
