Freaky Fast Frankie Joe by Lutricia Clifton Pdf

Twelve-year-old Frankie Joe Huckaby can't find anything good to say about Clearview, Illinois, where he must spend the next ten months living with a father he knows only through birthday cards, a stepmother he didn't know existed, and four half brothers intent on making him the "freak" of the town. When life in Clearview becomes unbearable, Frankie Joe hatches a plan to ride his bike back to the Lone Star Trailer Park in Laredo, Texas. For that he needs money, and so he opens Frankie Joe's Freaky Fast Delivery Service. But Frankie Joe hasn't counted on quirky clients, unpredictable winter weather, and his equally unpredictable new family.

Immortal Max by Lutricia Clifton Pdf

Twelve-year-old Sam dreams of owning a purebred puppy, convinced they are superior to a mongrel like Max, the family's ancient pet. Smelly, disheveled, and affectionate, Max is a walking miracle. Near death's door when Sam's sister rescued him, Max survived and seems immortal. That's too bad, for Sam's mother says no new dog if it's going to bother Max. Undaunted, Sam decides to save enough money to buy a puppy anyway and takes a job walking dogs in CountryWood, the fancy gated community in his rural town. There he clashes with Justin, a rich, pampered "burbie" who owns just the kind of dog Sam wants: a sable German shepherd. Justin is determined to get Sam fired and destroy his dream. Their feud, echoing the conflict between rich city transplants and the townies, escalates into violence. This heartwarming story of a boy and his dogs is filled with memorable characters--both human and canine.

Seeking Cassandra by Lutricia Clifton Pdf

When work takes Cassie's mom abroad, Cassie is stuck living with her dad in his Winnebago in Palo Duro Canyon State Park for the summer. She loves her dad, but he's different since the divorce, and for that matter, so is she. She's gotten used to a different lifestyle that's not exactly compatible with the rougher living in the Canyon, where her dad is a handyman. She misses the conveniences of city living, and she's not too sure about the kids here. They seem awkward. Uncool. And, in the case of mysterious X, possibly dangerous. When several arrowheads go missing from an archeological dig site on park property, Cassie immediately has a suspect in mind. But when she starts jotting down clues in a detective journal and putting the pieces together, Cassie feels uneasy. Have her assumptions about other people led her down the wrong path?

Five-Dollar Indian by Lu Clifton Pdf

Upheaval comes to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma over a proposed Native Theme park. The odd alliance of an Apache and a Sioux promoter attracts the attention of Choctaw officers when a powwow doesn't seem to be the philanthropic fund-raiser it is touted to be. Then a fourteen-year-old Sioux boy is found dead in the Kiamichi Wilderness. The death looks like a drug overdose, but the country investigator finds other, more baffling evidence that draws in the unauthorized involvement of four tribal officers: one Sioux and three Choctaw, including Lieutenant Sam Chito.Lawmen are the "thin blue line" that holds back chaos, but each officer struggles with his own internal demons that put adherence to the code of ethics and the vows he took as an officer at risk. The dead boy's grandfather, the Sioux officer, believes he has evidence the death was murder and wants to execute his own brand of justice. Meanwhile, Sam discovers one of the promoters is a five-dollar Indian - a white man posing as native to profit at Native Americans' expense. The imposter is none other than Leon Messina, grandson of old drug lord Victor Messina - the man behind the gangland killing of Sam's father.Will mistrust, suspicion, and a deep desire for revenge prevent these four lawmen from working together to ensure justice is served?

Scalp Dance by Lu Clifton Pdf

Lieutenant Sam Chitto of the Oklahoma Choctaw Nation Tribal Police is a man of the Law, and a man of his word. But he's at a breaking point: his father's murder is ten-years cold; his young wife's premature death haunts him, and tribal police in Oklahoma are being prevented from ensuring the People receive justice. Indian women are the ones paying the highest price: one in three can expect to be raped in her lifetime, and tribal police cannot arrest the assailant if he is not Indian. When a sacred Choctaw ceremonial ground is transformed into an execution site with the naked, beheaded corpse of the husband of a Chickasaw woman and stepfather to her young daughter, Chitto is forced to make a decision that could not only challenge his personal code of ethics but also cost a man his life.
