Issue 8 [Week of Dec. 7-Dec. 13, 2005]

Net Movies:
Jason Reitman’s “In God We Trust”

Mitch Albom's “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”

Another Heaven-sent story: this now-classic novel, by the author of “Tuesdays with Morrie,” about an 83-three-year-old man whose sudden death and departure for Heaven leads him to understand his life.

Let's Get Animated:
Trevor Van Meter’s “Fly Guy”

A totally different “Fly Guy” than Van Meter’s animation, this book uses hyperbole, puns, slapstick, silly drawings and a holographic cover to create a fun book for ages 4-8.

Games On The Net:
Grant Robinson’s “Guess-the-Google”

If Grant Robinson’s game makes you curious about the rise and meaning of Internet searching in our culture, “The Search” may give you some answers.

Net Stories:
Scott McCloud’s “Mimi's Last Coffee”

Author James Kakalios tries to base superheroes—among the ancestors of reality-based Hypercomics—in real-world science: how the law of gravity would have worked on Krypton, how the Flash can breath when he runs so fast, and more wonders.
