Honorable mention in Children's Literature for the New England Book Festival's Holiday Feature Award-winning Finalist in the Children's Fiction and Children's Educational categories of The USA "Best Books 2011" Awards Mom's Choice Awards Winner Winner of the 2011 IBPA Ben Franklin Award for Interior Design 1-2 Color Parents' Choice Recommended Award Winner Independent Publisher Book Award Silver Medal ForeWord's 2010 Book of the Year Award Honorable Mention - Juvenile Fiction & Finalist - Young Adult Fiction Award-winning Finalist for Children's Fiction in the 2011 International Book Awards Indie Next Kid's List Pick Winter 2011 Under the guise of an adventure novel, Lost in Lexicon expertly incorporates educational elements into the storyline to deliver a true learning experience. Just as The Phantom Tollbooth ...did years ago, this book pushes readers to see the familiar from a new perspective and to open their minds to fresh ideas. -- Sweet on Books "...This is an adventure story for the digital generation, and Lost in Lexicon breaks new ground in the adventure genre. This rollicking, often tongue-in-cheek novel will appeal to young readers who need a break from their computer games and long to journey into the woods of learning." -- ForeWord Reviews "...An engaging and original narrative is the main strength of this series opener. Math and grammar concepts are nicely integrated. Noyce keeps up the pace by limiting descriptive passages but offers little character introduction. Ivan and Daphne do grow over the course of their quest, finding strength in their ability to tackle subjects that once overwhelmed them and working as a team to solve each mathematical and linguistic puzzle.

Synopsis
"If this is an adventure, we should just plunge in... "When thirteen-year-old cousins Ivan and Daphne go on a treasure hunt in the rain one summer day, they never expect to stumble into a whole new world where words and numbers run wild.After the cousins outwit a plague of punctuation, grateful villagers beg them to find Lexicon's missing children, who have been enticed away by dancing lights in the sky. Trekking between villages in search of clues, the cousins encounter a talking thesaurus, a fog of forgetting, the Mistress of Metaphor, a panel of poets, feuding parts of speech, and the illogical mathematicians of Irrationality. When a careless Mathemystical reflects them across the border into the ominous Land of Night, their peril deepens. Kidnapped, imprisoned, and mesmerized-with time running out-will Ivan and Daphne find a way to solve the mystery of the lights in the sky and restore the lost children of Lexicon to their homes? Lost in Lexicon will whisk children away into an interactive and magical world of learning., Hiking Montana offers 100 of the best hikes in Big Sky Country, from pleasant family outings to backcountry adventures. This is the classic guide--the 10th edition!--to Montana hiking, now completely field-checked and updated.
