That big truck is stuck! How will the island residents get where they’re going? A tale of community and ingenuity from the celebrated Chris Van Dusen, inspired by a true story. When a big truck and its big load get stuck on a narrow road, traffic on the little island comes to a halt. Some cars need to go south and some have to travel north. How will Meg get to her swim meet? What about Barry’s ballet class? Luckily, the kids come up with an ingenious solution: why not just swap cars? Inspired by an incident that happened on Vinalhaven, Maine, Chris Van Dusen tells a fun tale of resourcefulness and community through clever, rhyming wordplay and whimsical illustrations, sprinkled with plenty of cars and trucks for transportation-loving readers.

In Big Truck War I (Jarhead) Jeffery Maxwell with five compatriots using all their fellow drivers blockade the ports, international crossings, local highways, freeways across the nation. Then "Head" does somthing radical, it starts "The Big Truck War." This story is 21,958 words. In Big Truck War II (Revenge) Jarhead sees the hell-fire missile fired from underneath the Cobra Attack Helicopter. He knew instinctively what it was. He dives into his giant buddy's Hoss side sending them both off the charging speedboat into the cold waters of Baja, Mexico. After reviving Hoss the guys grab some wreckage floating up the coast. It's weighing heavily on Maxwell; his two men killed by the rocket. And he knows an attack on a Government instillation is suicide, but no one has ever accused Head of "good judgment." This story is 28,716. In "King Nicotine" "Lucky" Mahorn with his babe "Ace" Kami Spade along with sidekick Joe Rambo bring the outlawed tobacco into the states. It's year 2103; a new four month yearly calendar is introduced, along with a new pro racing motor track. A very violent new game called "Crunch" is featured. This story is 12,538 words. The last story I'd like the title to read "Nuclear Animal." It features Joe Mama with Maximum Hassle and the final games & meals, songs. The games are ICBM-Darts, Cruise Mussile Horseshoes, Stealth Bomber Hide & Seek. And Mutant hunting, these apply we say if some mutated humans actually live. This story is 8,430 words.
