The microchips have taken control!
Why have the microchips in Deacon’s neighborhood—chips in traffic signals, ATM machines, mobile phones, and cars---started to communicate with Deacon? Do they want to help him out, to get free ice cream, good grades, or the occasional day off from school? No, the Chip Network wants much more from Deacon and many other children in Silicon Valley whose parents work for high-tech companies.

Third-Grader-To-Be
I’m a third-grader to be, to be.
For grade three I’m ready, ready.
No more grade two for me, for me.
For I’m a third-grader to be, to be.

When I figure it out,
“Oh, I see,” I could cry,
Instead Oic I shout.

Meet Blanco, the Last Lighthouse Giant
Ages ago, giants arrived on the coastlines of the world. They built tall round houses on the dark headlands. From the high windows the lighthouse giants shone bright lanterns out to sea to guide ships safely past their homes.
Blanco is the last of the lighthouse giants. From sunset to sunrise he shines his fish-oil lantern from his house on Cape Humbug, to aid steamer ships along the Oregon coast.
Jenny Hughes, age ten, is Blanco’s friend. Jenny lives with her father, Jacob, on the Hughes Dairy Ranch below Cape Humbug. Each day Jenny and her father bring Blanco a kettle of clam chowder for his daily meal. Jenny teaches Blanco reading and writing. In turn, the lighthouse giant teaches Jenny, who wishes to become a marine scientist, the ways of the ocean and its creatures.
Blanco’s job is threatened when a conman arrives in Port Beaver, hoping to replace the giant with a first-order Fresnel lens and modern machinery. Can Jenny help save the giant’s lighthouse job? A tough task considering the entire town is against her.
