The Frightful Ride of Michael McMichael

The Frightful Ride of Michael McMichael
by Bonny Becker (Author) and Mark Fearing (Illustrator)

Booktalk: When the Thirteen bus pulls up one dreary, stormy evening, something about it doesn’t seem quite right. The driver grins down with a mouthful of long, white teeth, and there’s barely any room to sit, but Michael McMichael is bringing his gran something very dear, so he gets on board despite his misgivings. But as they travel on and the rest of the passengers get off, Michael realizes there’s nothing normal about this bus — and the driver is getting creepier by the minute.

Digiscoping
Although photographing birds professionally takes expensive camera equipment and an expert eye, you can get started without either of those. Digiscoping is a way to capture close-up pictures of birds with a digital camera, even a cell phone camera, and a telescope or a pair of binoculars.
