Janitors
"Spins plenty of action around
an audience-pleasing premise...entertaining ruckus." (Fantasy.
10-13)
- Kirkus Reviews
SALT LAKE CITY — Sweeping
readers into an exciting story of magic, secrets, and adventure, Janitors, by debut author Tyler
Whitesides, starts off the next great fantasy series. This novel is sure to charm young readers and
sit among Fablehaven, Leven Thumps, and The Hourglass Door trilogy as Shadow Mountain favorites.
Janitors reveals the truth hidden deep inside elementary schools
and guarded by those who claim the janitor title.
Have you ever fallen asleep during math class? Are you easily
distracted while listening to your English teacher? Do you find yourself
completely uninterested in geography? Well, it may not be your fault. The
janitors at Welcher Elementary know a secret, and it’s draining all the smarts
out of the kids. Twelve-year-old Spencer Zumbro, with the help of his classmate
Daisy Gullible Gates, must fight against secret janitorial society that wields
wizard-like powers. Who can Spencer and Daisy trust and how will they protect
their school and possibly the world? Find out in Janitors, the first book in a new children’s fantasy series. You’ll never look at a mop the same way
again.
Janitors will polish
the shelves in August 2011. To learn
more about Tyler Whitesides and the Janitors
series visit TylerWhitesides.com.
Working as an elementary school
janitor to put himself through college, Tyler Whitesides graduated from Utah
State University with a degree in music. Along with his young adult novel
writing, Tyler is a devoted composer and arranger of instrumental music. He and his wife, Connie (who teaches third
grade) live in Logan, Utah.

The Golden Spiral Wins
Benjamin Franklin Award
NEW YORK CITY, May 23, 2011 — Shadow Mountain is proud to announce The Golden Spiral by Lisa Mangum won in
the 2011 Benjamin Franklin Award for the young adult fiction category; this is
the highest honor for independent publishers.
The Benjamin Franklin Awards are sponsored by the Independent Book
Publishers Association, and celebrate excellence in editorial and design for
titles published in the year 2010. Judges come from all areas of the industry:
major newspaper and trade media reviewers, bookstore and library buyers and
reviewers, non-competing publishers, artists and writers who serve the
industry.
The Golden Spiral, published
by Shadow Mountain in 2010, is the sequel to The Hourglass Door, ForeWord Reviews’ 2009 Young Adult Fiction Book
of the Year. In The Golden Spiral it
is now Abby’s turn to save the day after the hourglass door has closed behind
Dante, sending him back in time to hunt down Zo, Tony, and V. Abby knows that
Dante, as a Master of Time, is the only one who can stop them from destroying
time itself. She also knows that he will need her help. But almost immediately, things start to
change, and Abby’s worst fears are realized when Zo begins targeting her past.
With each new change that ripples into her present, Abby’s life
continues to spiral out of control. Her relationships with Jason, Natalie, and
even her family are threatened to the breaking point— and beyond. Zo’s power is greater than Abby ever
imagined, but as she struggles to free Dante, she receives help from an
unexpected — and unlikely—ally.
The final book in the Hourglass Door trilogy, The Forgotten Locket, releases in June 2011.

she attended the University of Utah where she graduated with a degree in
English. Since 1997, she has been involved in the publishing industry and has
worked in many editorial positions. Mangum now lives in Taylorsville, Utah,
with her husband Tracy.

Karaoke Night Hits a High Note
Karaoke and pizza buffet pack the
house at Pizza Pie Café
LOGAN,
Utah – What do Michael Jackson, Elton John and The Beatles have in common? Karaoke
Night at Pizza Pie Café.
Karaoke
Night has become a novelty to residents inside and out of Cache Valley for the
past couple of months. Bringing in over 300 people every Thursday from 9:00pm-12:00am, the event continues to flourish. “Some
nights it’s standing room only. But, the kids don't seem to mind because
they're all dancing away,” said Manager Sam Ellsworth.
A
local DJ presented Karaoke Night to Pizza Pie Café in Provo. Hesitant at first,
Dennis Jordan, manager of the Provo location, decided to attend one of his
shows and immediately decided to test the idea.
With the success in Provo, Pizza Pie Café launched the event in Logan
where it was accepted with open arms.
“It's
cheap, it fills your tummy, and it's just fun to come and hangout. Whether you
sing or just watch the kids have a blast,” said Ellsworth.
For
five dollars guests enjoy a pizza, pasta and salad buffet topped off with the
high energy of karaoke entertainment. Pizza Pie Café hopes to continue Karaoke
Night and spread the event into their main dining room allowing more guests to
participate.
Pizza Pie Café, formerly known as Craigo’s Gourmet
Pizza, was created in 2003 in Rexburg, Idaho by Matt Smith and his wife, Jane.
There are now six Pizza Pie Café locations in operation.

Investors Association Teaches Cache Valley Residents Financial
Independence
LOGAN, Utah – Cache Valley Area
Investors Association (CVAIA) is educating residents in financial independence.
CVAIA President and Founder,
Preston Parker, said, “If you’re spending more money than you’re bringing in
you will never be financially independent.” Self-sufficiency can be achieved in
five to ten years by creating passive income which is received on a regular
basis with little effort. Though, Parker advises to invest money you can afford
to lose completely.
Parker organized the association to
educate people who complain about their jobs or need financial advice. CVAIA’s
purpose is to provide education and networking opportunities. Members have the
chance to learn from experts, explore investment ideas and connect with other
members for passive income ventures.
If people learn the right mentality
and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire.
People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a
job that provides an income. Passive income largely makes this possible. There
are many organizations with the stated goal of helping people understand the
relationship between assets, liabilities, income, expenses. They practice the
methods found in the ideologies of books included Rich Dad Poor Dad, The
Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic
Millionaire, and The Secret.
