Sometimes, an intolerable situation calls for a drastic measure—fleeing for freedom. Whether you’re a slave seeking freedom in the North or a convict swimming for your life in a shark-infested canal, the urge to be free drives your every move. In Great Escapes: Real Tales of Harrowing Getaways, readers ages 9 to 12 meet five ingenious fugitives and freedom seekers who all shared one common goal: escape. The human spirit craves freedom, and when liberty is taken away, people go to great lengths to get it back. Great Escapes: Real Tales of Harrowing Getaways tells the histories of five ingenious departures, including the one perpetuated by William and Ellen Craft, who donned disguises and made a 1,000-mile run for freedom. Another man, Douglas Mawson, battled a power greater than any human villain, when in 1913, Mother Nature trapped Mawson in her icy Antarctic jaws. Alone and dangling over a bottomless crevasse by a fraying rope, the only escape tools Mawson had were his strength and determination. In 1943, Nazi guards packed hundreds of Belgian Jews into train cars and headed for the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Twelve-year-old Simon Gronowski was among these deportees, and he was determined to find a way off the moving train before it reached its ghastly destination. Alcatraz was a rocky fortress designed to hold federal prisoners until the end of their sentence or death, whichever came first. Prison officials claimed the Rock was inescapable. But in 1962, three inmates vanished, never to be seen again. No less amazing is the escape of 57 East Germans from communist-controlled East Germany during the Cold War, through a tunnel under the Berlin Wall. History is ripe with examples of people desperate to escape the traps in which they are snared. Get an up-close look at the guts, skill, determination, and luck of remarkable escape artists in Great Escapes: Real Stories of Harrowing Getaways. This is the sixth book in a series called Mystery & Mayhem, which features true tales that whet kids’ appetites for history by engaging them in genres with proven track records—mystery and adventure. History is made of near misses, unexplained disappearances, unsolved mysteries, and bizarre events that are almost too weird to be true—almost! The Mystery and Mayhem series delves into these tidbits of history to provide kids with a jumping off point into a lifelong habit of appreciating history. Each of the five true tales told within Great Escapes are paired with further fun facts about the setting, industry, and time period. A glossary and resources page provide the opportunity to practice using essential academic tools. These nonfiction narratives use clear, concise language with compelling plots that both avid and reluctant readers will be drawn to.

Peril Press presents: The Frontier Justice Tales of Judge Steele vol 5 by Lon Williams Western Action, March 1957 Judge Steele Story #27 EDWARD THE CONFESSOR by Lon Williams The case against Edward Slocum looked as airtight as Judge Steele could hope for—but somehow, he was worried. Slocum's lawyer was a real tricky-looking gent, and didn't seem at all disturbed by the fact that the prosecution had a signed confession from the accused. 5300 Words Western Action, May, 1957 A Judge Steele Story #28 THE MORTAL BLOW by Lon Williams The whole question was, could a man be charged with murdering another man who was but moments away from death? And consarn it, if he couldn’t, then as mean a scoundrel as Judge Steele had ever glared at in his court room would walk out free! Is it murder to deliver the death-blow to a man who’s dying? 5000 Words Western Action, September 1957 Judge Steele Story #30 DEATH’S SERENADE by Lon Williams What had happened to prosecuting, attorney Wade Claybrook, Judge Steele wanted to know. Why here this consarned lawyer, supposed to be on the side of justice, was doing his dangest to discredit his own best witness. How did you get to hang a murderer that way? 6000 Words Western Action, January 1958 Judge Steele #32 A YEAR AND A DAY by Lon Williams Judge Steele was ready to chew nails. Be-consarned, but if it turned out that this victim had died more than a year and a day after he'd been shot, then the monkey who shot him couldn't be tried for murder! 5100 Words Western Action, March 1958 Judge Steele story #33 POINT OF NO RETURN by Lon Williams The question was: if William Shore had been involved in a conspiracy to rob the stage coach - a robbery which resulted in murder - and had renounced the role, had he nonetheless changed his mind too late? 4900 Words

To reach freedom, the most famous escapers of all time have been willing to endure the most horrific conditions—and the direst consequences if caught. The collection of tales in The Greatest Escape Stories Ever Told is gripping as only true life-and-death struggles can be: Papillon fighting through the jungles of Guiana only to commit himself to the open ocean in a sixteen-foot boat rather than face a life in exile; Rocky Gause dodging bullets as he swims through shark-infested waters to escape the Japanese at Bataan, while those around him simply quit; Latude battling against the dreaded Bastille; Baron Trenck—with chains covering almost every inch of his body—digging and digging to free himself from wrongful imprisonment; Andre Devigny, so weak from starvation and poor treatment that he could barely lift himself, shimmying across a rope only yards above a German sentry during World War II on the eve of his execution. These are just a few of the twenty-five bold and ingenious tales of escape included in this collection. The Greatest Escape Stories Ever Told will hold readers captive for years to come!
