Friday Night Fun

Author Various On Tour
Lightning McQueen and his best friend Mater love having fun. One night, the two friends race to the tractor field to enjoy their favorite activity: tractor-tipping! But when Sheriff pulls up and spoils their fun, Lightning and Mater have to go to traffic court. As punishment, the judge sentences Lightning and Mater to community service! But each time Lightning and Mater try to help out in the community, they are more interested in having fun than getting to work. Will the two friends be able to buckle down and help their friends in Radiator Springs?
The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
