Hangman : a deadly game / by Meadows, Roger,author.;
Hiking alone in the mountains of North Carolina, Matthew Cross faces a temptation so great that it overpowers his lifelong sense of right and wrong.

His odyssey takes him from his home in the mountains to Europe, the Bahamas, and to the coastal plains of Florida and Georgia. Too late, he yearns for a return to the safety and security of the life he once had, loving someone who loved him. Control slips away and life-threatening dangers encircle him. A final betrayal springs a trap. Escape and redemption will require qualities he is not aware he possesses, help from an unexpected source, and a complex plan.

Joan Mitchell paints a symphony / by Rogers, Lisa Jean,1960-author.(CARDINAL)815976; Innerst, Stacy,illustrator.(CARDINAL)346244;
Includes bibliographical references.It's 1983, and American artist Joan Mitchell is in her studio outside Paris, transforming her emotions and memories into a symphony of colors and shapes. Inspired by her friend's description of an idyllic hidden valley in France, Mitchell creates 21 massive paintings-her Grande Vallee series -bursting with vibrant, energizing hues. But she doesn't paint the valley's flowers and meadows. She paints a feeling about them-abundance, freedom, liveliness-creating a harmonious blend of drips, splashes, and brushstrokes in rainbow colors. When the paint dries, it's time to share her valley with the world. This inspiring, poetic picture book about an influential yet lesser-known American artist provides a snapshot of a creator who deserves as much acclaim as better-known Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock or Willem de Kooning. Author Lisa Rogers shares both the despair and delight Mitchell experienced throughout her career, while acclaimed illustrator Stacy Innerst's bright artwork captures the movement and energy of Mitchell's work, as her paintings develop from page to page.Grade PreK-1.
