New Releases by George Mendoza

Dream of the Spirit Man follows Michael as he continues his journey through the Dream World, seeking the young girl with the third eye and the white stone. As he travels, he is forced to confront his doubts about the substantiality of the mission he has been tasked with, his capabilities, and the other side of the coin many men seek to hold so desperately - immortality. What price does man pay for his actions when his life is no longer for trade? A familiar yet engaging tale of love, loss, growth, and perseverance, Dream of the Spirit Man sees Michael undergoing radically edifying transformations as he pursues something greater than himself. George Mendoza was born in New York City in 1955. At the age of 15 he was diagnosed with a rare, incurable, degenerative eye disease, fundus flavimaculatus. Effects of the disease caused him to loose all of his central vision and keep only a gray foggy fringe of peripheral vision. In the center of his view he sees what he calls "kaleiddoscope eyes"-intense and changing visual images of fiery suns, brightly burning eyes and colorful pinwheels. These spectacles almost never leave him, not even when he lays down in darkness to go to sleep. A man of vision and courage, George went on to become a world-class runner, Olympic contender, author, painter and a motivational speaker to the youth and the disabled in America. This is his fourth novel in the Spirit Man series.

Every animal in the forest can have a home they love with the help of Ms. Mouse in this whimsical and educational book about design and architecture. Henrietta is a world-famous architect, and the only mouse in the world who knows what makes a squirrel or a rabbit, a caterpillar or a frog feel at home. A dreamer, a designer, an artist, and a creator, Henrietta works at her drawing board to imagine the perfect home for each of her friends, be they woodland, water, subterranean or winged creatures. With clever features, like a trapdoor for Mole or a telescope platform for Owl, and the ideal placement, like high in a pine for Squirrel or inside a pear for Caterpillar, Henrietta Mouse’s houses are both practical and beautiful—in short, ingenious! George Mendoza’s Need a House? Call Ms. Mouse! is as inspiring today as when it was first published in 1981, and Doris Susan Smith’s illustrations of this hard-working female protagonist and her fantastical designs and architectural marvels will captivate young readers.

Five years after the events of Journey of the Spirit Man, Michael Seymour finds himself back in the alternate reality from which he had been so eager to escape, but to where he has recently been desperate to return. But the land he discovers upon arrival has changed. A great war rages, and Michael is revered as a warrior and a killer, although he has no recollection of being either of those things. Charged with finding and destroying the Annihilator, a force intent on bringing doom to the land of Shoot, Michael must battle the world around him-human, creature, and natural-and trek through desolate wastelands, where he encounters a series of allies and foes. Along the way, he discovers that The Spirit Man's warrior spirit sits at bay within him. But The Spirit Man is not the only spirit lying in wait inside Michael-and he'll need help from them all to save the land he's come to love and honor the fatal sacrifices his friends have made for him. Vision of the Spirit Man is the second installment in George Mendoza's captivating Spirit Man series. George Mendoza went blind when he was 15.
