    Digger Doyle was eight when his father set off on a secret adventure but did not return. Three years later, a page from his father's ancient book is sent to Digger from northern Japan -- a page only he can read. With his wild cousins, he sails to Japan and meets the super smart Yukiko Satori. Together they venture into the shadowy woods around the eerie Mount Osore to search for a ferocious creature called a Kappa and any clues as to the whereabouts of Digger's father. The forest is dying. The river is poison. Animals are fleeing. Something is terribly wrong.

    Abstract

    Captain America has battled soldiers, terrorists, and villains of all kinds. Now he'll face a far more complicated enemy: his own body. When S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers that Cap is harboring an extinction-level pathogen hidden in his cells for decades, Cap's greatest fear is realized: Until the virus can be cured, he'll have to go into deep freeze. But he won't be alone. Years ago, Cap's greatest enemy managed the biggest coup of his career when he implanted his mind into a clone of Steve Rogers' body-virus and all. And Red Skull isn't the sacrificial type.
