A charming, classic adventure tale about the scary, crazy, and heart-thumpingly joyful plunge into connecting with others
A mute, nameless foxhound has spent her life in a laboratory cage. She has never seen the sun. When she gets rescued, Dottie, a diva ladybug with a heart as big as her hat, helps the dog understand the world and find a home with Olivia, a restless, solitary girl seeking comfort that her new pet cannot supply.

The isolated dog and the hesitant girl must face their fear of connecting. They learn to tame each other, let go, survive adventures, and find the courage to trust as they search for their place in the sun.
The Nearly Calamitous Taming of PZ-- lyrical and approachable, with resonant details--has both humor and heart. Although intended for children eight through twelve, its classic unfolding and off-beat characters tickle the fancy of adults as well. It is both an adventure story and a tale with many layers--about overcoming obstacles, mining experience for what matters, and doing what is necessary, though not always desirable, for friendship. Ultimately, it is about the joy of a hard-won connection.

The classic illustrations--with a contemporary edge--reflect this fresh, poignant, wise, and sometimes downright wacky book.
Each week for the past five years, creative adults have participated in the Free Lunch Monday Night Jam at 6:00 pm, an open creative session working on any number of projects and networking with other artists. Free Lunch owner and cartoonist Matt Ryan added The Monday Night Kids Jam, which debuted on November 4th 2013, and has been running weekly ever since.
This one hour, drop in, creative jam will meets from 5:00 to 6:00pm on Monday afternoons for only $5. This is a place for kids, ages 7 to 13, to be challenged with one hour art exercises assigned by Matt or to be able to work on their own creative projects. The Free Lunch Dept of The CES Design Studios has a wealth of art supplies, so the attendees are not required to bring materials unless they wish to.
