School Garden

The Magic School Bus is a series of children's books about science. They feature the antics of Ms. Frizzle, an elementary school teacher, and her class of eight children (in the original books, the class population was at a larger and more standard amount), who board a magical school bus which takes them on field trips into the solar system, under the Bed, into the American Flag, or to other such impossible locations. The books are written in the first person from the point of view of an unnamed student in "the Friz's" class. The class pet, Liz, an anthropomorphic lizard, accompanied the class on their field trips.
Since the Magic School Bus books present scientific facts in the form of stories in which fantastic things happen (for example, a bus turns into a spaceship, or children shrink to the size of blood cells), each book has a page at the end detailing in a humorous manner which parts of the book represented scientific fact and which were fanciful storytelling. In the books' television adaptation, this was replaced by the Producer Says segment at the end of each episode, in which the producer of the show (voiced by Malcolm-Jamal Warner of The Cosby Show fame) receives phone calls from kids complaining about how some things that happened on the show couldn't happen in real life. This allows the show to explain the specific facts in question and why they had to be disregarded to a degree because of the need for dramatic license.

From eight-time bestselling author Jon Gordon comes a spiritual fable about the power of faith, hope, and love

Charles took up the guitar in early high school. He quickly became part of a high school bluegrass group, switching eventually from guitar to string bass, and from there to a Fender bass. The Bluegrass Band was the Lick Skillet band at Six Flags Over Georgia for four years, with one of those years in the show at the Crystal Pistol. After that, he attempted a career in music playing with, along the way, The Bluegrass Generation, Corporate Square, The New Deal String Band, a brief stint with the Bluegrass Alliance, Betty Fisher and the Dixie Bluegrass Boys, and finishing with Saturday Session. However, the music didn't pay the bills very well, so he dropped out of music, married, began a family, went back to college, and became a civil engineer, a "Ramblin' Wreck".
