In the last few months of holding office in India, Erskine Perry, judge in India, employed some of his leisure hours in collecting a few cases of general interest that had come to him in the Supreme Court of Bombay. This book is an outcome of it. He felt that the insight into human life afforded by transactions in a court of justice gives an opportunity to study the national character, especially to the English administrators in India who were so severed from the bulk of the Indian people by colour, race, language, religion and material interest.

Young Willard faces the sort of challenges experienced by many fourth-graders: homework, household chores, broken eyeglasses, rain on an overnight campout, a bossy big sister, a grandmother who needs extra help. Yet he also faces challenges unique to his time in history: America's first year in World War II. WILLARD AND THE WAR EFFORT: A 4th-Grader in the '40s, is a middle-grade book of just over a hundred pages that uses colloquial style and a vocabulary level for young readers of today. Veteran author Perry Thomas tells what it was like to be a fourth-grader in the '40s-- when America went to war, and when the latest electronic gadget was a portable plug-in radio.

Joey and Danny are best friends across a deep cultural divide. They are celebrating their sixteenth birthdays while crossing Europe along with Joey's family. Although they are both coming from Southeast Asia, they are heading in different directions. Joey, after living abroad for several years, is going to his virtually unknown homeland. Danny is returning to an Asian homeland that has suddenly been racked by revolution. The title A BRIDGE OF DAYS refers to the three weeks spent together that stretch like a bridge between the two teenagers' fondly remembered childhood and the rather daunting future that lies just ahead of them.

THE WORLD HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT Certainly the three teenagers whose escapades are intertwined in CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR had never seen anything like it: the great World's Columbian Exposition on the lakefront at Chicago in 1893: + DREW, an abused and neglected teenager from western Kentucky, has run away with a circus heading toward the big city. + ONO - mixed-tribal, multi-lingual, and going on 15 - has been brought all the way from western Java to a native village at the Fair. + GALEN, a gawky late-blooming 18-year-old farm-boy from western Iowa, has begun to find himself as he takes part in an evangelistic campaign during the Fair, fostered by the world-famous revivalist D. L. Moody. In CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR, tangled relationships are projected against the glittering backdrop of a great international exposition (featuring the first Ferris wheel). Personal adventures blend with historical events, climaxing in a deadly fire at the Fairgrounds. Through their own decisions, discoveries, and actions, all three teenagers find new directions for their lives after encountering CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Using thorough historical research, veteran author Perry Thomas has created a gripping coming-of-age tale for today's young-adult readers.
