Title: Deadly Invaders Subtitle: Virus Outbreaks Around the World Author: Denise Grady Narrator: Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, Health & Sports Publisher's Summary: An epidemic strikes the United States, plunging the country into chaos. New York Times medical reporter Denise Grady uses this terrifying scenario, taken from the pages of a U.S. government report on the potential outcome of a pandemic, as the starting point for a journey into the gripping world of emerging diseases. In search of a better understanding of these often deadly diseases, Grady heads to Angola, the site of the 2005 Marburg virus epidemic, a disease closely related to Ebola. On the ground, and sometimes frighteningly close to victims of the disease, Grady explores the realities of health care in the developing world, and its potential effects on our own welfare. With supplemental sidebars that explain key scientific and social issues and in-depth chapters on the origins and spread of Marburg, avian flu, HIV, SARS, West Nile virus, hantavirus, and monkeypox, this is a fascinating look at the health dangers we face in a global society. Members Reviews: A good summary An accessible and thorough overview of contemporary microbial challenges. The narration is smooth, easy to understand.

Widmaier Narrator: Rick Adamson Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Listen & Live Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Teens, Health & Sports Publisher's Summary: Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain underwater for a full 75 minutes! Through many amazing examples this audio discusses the mechanisms humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food, gather water and oxygen, circulate blood, regulate body temperature, respond to stressful situations, and maintain other survival needs. ©1998 Eric P. Widmaier; (P)1999 Listen & Live Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: Great AUDIObook.... I checked this book out from my local library and, after reading it, wanted my own copy. When I ordered from Amazon, I did not read the description closely enough and, from reading the reviews, assumed I was ordering the actual book. I received my order in the mail too in a great and timely manner to find audio cassettes - to no fault but my own for not reading the description more closely. IÊm assuming that since the reviews here by others refer to this product as a "book", that others may also be ordering this product and end up getting audio cassettes. I donÊt even own a cassette player...ha! Anyways, just letting others know to double-check the product before adding to cart. It is a great book, by the way. Very enjoyable read, especially for those us science "nerds". Great book Excellent book, a concise, clear and engaging explanation of many somewhat confusing aspects of physiology. Requires reading Lots of info in this book! Practical Applications of Physiology Made Fun! This book uses many interesting examples to illustrate its main points. Widmaier explains the basics of physiology in a practical context so that it is fairly easy to understand. This is one of the better non-fiction reads you will find, as it truly is interesting. I feel that this is a great tool for any biology student or anyone who is just curious about the way things work in an animal's body. While explaining how things work in the human body and how they could be better, plentiful examples are provided to both amuse and teach the reader. The book addresses everything from how we become obese to the relative rates of metabolism in different species to the circulatory system and stress induced hormones. Widmaier even provides notes to elaborate on things he addresses in his book and provided some bibliographical information on important scientists and their contributions to physiology without making me fall asleep or daydream, which is no small feat. After reading this book I can appreciate the work of physiologists, especially after reading the epilogue. I also learned many facts about the animal kingdom that would really make me seem smart in school and help clarify different concepts. From this book I learned that small animals such as shrews need to eat more than their body weight everyday because they have such a high metabolism, and that our ancestors developed a defense mechanism against starvation so that when they ate less their metabolism slowed, meaning that dieting can cause us to loose weight more slowly. I also read that fish cough to remove the gung that collects in their gills as it flows through the gills to provide them with oxygen.

Molinari Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-15 Publisher: Bettie Youngs Book Publishers Co., Inc. Genres: Teens, Health & Sports Publisher's Summary: Do you lack self-confidence, or have a difficult time making decisions? Do you ever have a tough time feeling a sense of purpose and belonging, or feel that the demands and expectations by parents and school are theirs...but not yours? Do you sometimes have fear of failure, or fear that you don t know how to deal with bullying behavior from others? It doesn't have to be that way! I know because all of the above were once true for me. I wandered through my first 18 years of life without actually feeling that I was in control of anything. I wasn't a good student, my home life left a lot to be desired, and I spent a lot of time being frustrated. Then I was introduced to the gym and everything changed. The gym taught me discipline, which led me to think about my life and to set goals. As a result, I went from just aimlessly hanging out to setting and achieving goals. I often wish I had caught on sooner, which is why I wrote this book. I'll show you how to: develop mental toughness (a life without fear, stress, and anger); engage an asset mind-set to get whatever you want; become and stay healthy and fit; build an athlete for life mentality that stresses excellence; set and achieve goals that matter. Members Reviews: Excellent Book! Chris, this was very well written. I want to personally thank you for sharing your story in such an easy to read format and giving simple steps to our youth in living as a overcomer. As a professional athlete myself I know the importance of not only setting goals but also surrounding yourself with mentors that push you onto excellence. You are a shining example of a mentor who gives back and I am blessed call you friend. I look forward to hearing the many testimonies of those impacted by applying these simple steps. Thank you for giving back and impacting our youth. Great Story, fast read. Chris has a great story that many young kids will be able to relate to. This book is less a novel, more a guide for a young person to use as a stepping stone out of mediocrity. Excellent for young adults! This is a really good handbook for teens, ages 13-20. In this book, he says to teens: Do you lack self-confidence, or have a difficult time making decisions? Do you ever have a tough time feeling a sense of purpose and belonging, or feel that the demands and expectations by parents and school are theirs ... but not yours? Do you sometimes have fear of failure, or fear that you don't know how to deal with bullying behavior from others? It doesn't have to be that way!

I wasn't a good student, my home life left a lot to be desired, and I spent a lot of time being frustrated. I was going through the motions, not really feeling directed, not really having focus on being the best I could be. I was not disciplined toward purpose-driven goals. Then I was introduced to the gym and everything changed. The gym taught me discipline, which led me to think about my life and to set goals.

Title: The Forest House Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 221 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: She was Eilan, the daughter of a Druidic warleader and gifted with visions. In a land struggling to survive both Roman conquerors and her own people's enemies, surely fate had marked her to become a priestess of the Forest House. But first Eilan had chosen a different, forbidden path - to love Gaius, a soldier of mixed blood among the legions sent to subdue her country. So she must hide a terrible secret when she is anointed as the new High Priestess. With mighty enemies poised to usurp the wealth of magic the Forest House sheltered, Eilan could only trust in the power of the great Goddess to find her destiny amidst the treacherous labyrinth in which fate had placed her. Critic Reviews: "With the sure touch of one at ease in sketching out mystic travels.... Bradley writes with an unhurried pace and uncluttered staging." (Kirkus Review) Members Reviews: Re-recorded and highly effective This is not a reissue/transfer of the unabridged cassette tapes that were originally produced. Everything about this new recording is outstanding. Rosalyn Landor is an absolutely, perfectly beautiful interpreter of these characters and words. In fact, she's so wonderful, I wish she had also been engaged to rerecord The Mists of Avalon as well; she is really *that* good! This story, though slighter than Mists, is a wonderful tale and forerunner to the main novel of the saga. If you've heard the cassettes and haven't really cared for them, I urge to you get this new recording and hear this beautiful story for the "first time." Good story, stay with it and you will enjoy it Would you listen to The Forest House again? Why? Yes, it is a large book and has a lot of details to get through in the first 5 chapters. If Rosalyn Landor had not made it so easy to stay with it, I may not have finished it. But after those first 5 chapters you have a great understanding of what is happening, time frame, and the lead people in the book. Then it gets good and I am going to read the next one of these books. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Forest House? Beltane Fires What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She has a rich and engaging way of sharing a story that makes you feel like you are experiencing it. Very easy to listen to and like I stated above, without her reading this story I would have put it down. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Beltane, The Lady Any additional comments? Problem I have is finding out which is the next real book in this as there are two with Avalon that could be the next one. It is important with this novel to stay with the time frame so if you could make that happen it would be a great improvement. You have the series which are numbered, but the confusion is with the Lady of Avalon and the final book as the producer's information doesn't tell you where in the timeline they fall. Enjoyable book What did you like best about The Forest House? What did you like least? Good story, a little slow in places, but still held interest. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Good ending, and leads you into the next book. Fully Enjoyable The Forest House was excellent. One can see within this story the culmination of that which will be the Mists of Avalon. Bad narrator. All the male caracters sound old and pompous regardless of age.

War will be waged. Sacrifices will be made.Months ago, Nicole Cassidy's life was turned upside-down when she discovered that she was a witch descended from the Greek gods. She and the four other witches gifted with elemental powers fought all over the world - and in another dimension - to battle the supporters of the Titans and fight for the people they love.Now the Elementals must stop Typhon - the most dangerous monster in the world - from rising, and seal the portal to the dangerous prison world of Kerberos. But they won't be able to do that without facing their hardest decision yet... a sacrifice so great that it may be one they're not willing to make. Get ready for the stunning, action-packed conclusion to the bestselling Elementals series, with twists and turns that you'll never see coming!"Michelle Madow once again proves that she is a wordsmith capable of weaving a fantastic tale of magic, adventure, romance and action. The Hands of Time is a perfect ending to the bewitching Elementals series."-Cassie James, Goodreads Reviewer ©2016 Michelle Madow (P)2017 Michelle Madow Members Reviews: Great finale Well let me start by saying I have waited for this book pretty much from the day I finished reading the 4th book which is just after it was released. This book did not disappoint and as usual the pace was fast without a lot of unwanted drama. About the characters Blake and Chris were the heroes as usual and were honorable and brave till the end. They thought of the big picture and their ultimate goal in everything they did. Kate was as usual very down to the earth and level headed in all situations. Daneille as per me takes the cake. She as per me was the heroine of the entire series instead of Nichole.She was very smart, brave, strategic planner and executor. She did not jump to get the "noble", or "honorable" title just like that without thinking it through. Nichole on the other hand just felt like an idiot and a very selfish person to me. I get it that she did not want Blake to die but she didn't mind if Daneille died and she almost forced it, talked and made it very clear she wanted Daneille to be the one to sacrifice her life instead of Blake.I though Daneille had all characters of a demigod and Nichole had nothing other than then the privilege of being born as Apollo's daughter. All in all a very good read and a very satisfactory ending. There are no loose ends left for imagination. Bittersweet and Satisfying Wow, I can't believe it's over! I have been anticipating the final installment of the Elementals series since the end of the first book. These characters have grown so much since we first met them, but I was invested in their fate from the very beginning. This is one of the most fast paced and action packed YA fantasy series that I have ever read. Each book is like a short action movie that keeps you glued to your seat until you reach the end. Michelle Madow may want to consider writing movie scripts, because I think she would be phenomenal at it. Elementals 5: The Hands of Time picks up where every book in this series does, right where the last one left off. I love that, because we never have to miss one moment of the action.

Title: Shades of Time (The After Cilmeri Series) (Volume 12) Author: Sarah Woodbury Narrator: Laurel Schroeder Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-17 Publisher: Sarah Woodbury Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: March 1294. With David and Llywelyn in Ireland, the rule of Wales and England has fallen to Math and Anna. Unbeknownst to them, however, rebellious barons have tried to assassinate David and thrown Ireland into civil war. When the treachery reaches across the sea and touches Anna, she finds herself at the center of a conspiracy that stretches from Dublin to Edinburgh--and only her actions and choices stand between her family and the destruction of everything they've worked so hard to build. Shades of Time takes place simultaneously with Outpost in Time, the previous book in the After Cilmeri series. ©2017 Sarah Woodbury (P)2017 2017 Members Reviews: The Adventure Continues... Earth 1 & Earth 2... Once again, Sarah Woodbury, has brought us through time to and from the alternate universe middle ages to 2022. We are reintroduced to familiar and new characters that help Anna and Kind David navigate turning the situations of both worlds around to a better way of co-existing... maybe. I think Sarah's ability to fully develop her stories so well that it is very much like visiting old friends and making new ones. Weaving actual Earth history with alternate middle age history that hopefully will be a better outcome. Amazing ride - need more! I'm so thrilled that we got to journey with Anna this time. The past few books has left her kind of off doing her own thing (which is fine) but it's nice that she's definitely not relegated to "supporting cast" only and is actually a part of the whole. From the moment this book started playing last night, I couldn't stop listening to it. I paused a few times to make dinner (ah the joys of adulthood), but aside from that I was up until 3am just listening. It was that captivating. I'd actually started listening to it a week ago at work, but of course I couldn't pay much attention to it, yeah yeah I know, so since it was Saturday night and I didn't work Sunday - I figured it was time. So worth it. Laurel's narrations are as excellent as always to go along with Sarah's amazing stories. Granted there were a few times I was wondering if she dropped out of "character" so to speak and just read because the story was getting into some juicy bits. Could have just been my perception though. The ending leaves you hoping the next book is delivered soon. Like you know, now? ;) At the very least, can we have some spoilers?! Come on! Great Story, kept getting distracted I love the After Cilmeri Series and everything Sarah Woodbury writes!! I have listened to this entire series and my only complaint with this one is the narrator has gotten too breathy, if thats a word! I found myself distracted and having to go back and listen to sentences over because it bothered my so much to hear the little puff of air that ended every sentence. But the story is great, I love how these books flow & following the adventures of David, Anna & their family. Other than the breathiness, the narrator is fantastic, giving each character their own voice. It helps to keep track of who is talking and makes the listening very enjoyable. I will continue to buy every one that comes out! This series gets better with each installment. Shades of Time brings devious politics and power hungry hubris into focus with both modern and medieval twists.

Title: Margot & Me Author: Juno Dawson Narrator: Eilidh Beaton Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-17 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: A historical romance set partly in the 1940s, the beautiful and emotive Margot & Me tells the stories of two teenage girls over the course of 50 years. How can you hate someone in the present and love them in the past? Fliss's mum needs peace and quiet to recuperate from a long illness, so they both move to the countryside to live with Margot, Fliss's stern and bullying grandmother. Life on the farm is tough and life at school is even tougher, so when Fliss unearths Margot's wartime diary, she sees an opportunity to get her own back. But Fliss soon discovers Margot's life during the evacuation was full of adventure, mystery...and even passion. What's more, she learns a terrible secret that could tear her whole family apart.... Critic Reviews: "Beautiful, moving and witty." (Cecelia Ahern) Members Reviews: A beautiful novel that will move many hearts This is my first book by Juno Mawson and wow, what a beautiful and moving story. I'm pretty sure it won't be my last from this author. The story is told from Fliss' point of view, a teenager who moves to the countryside in Wales from London. Actually, Fliss and her mother, who is finally recuperating from a long illness, move into her grandma's farm. A place full of secrets and stories. As you can imagine Fliss is not happy with this move. Especially when she is not exactly welcomed in her new school. Fliss and her grandmother Margot's relationship is not the smoothest one either, it's like a battle of wills, both of them pushing but with no intention to give in. But from the moment Fliss finds Margot's diary from WWII, everything changes. The Margot from those pages is nothing like the Margot Fliss knows nowadays. But as she uncovers stories that were supposed to be kept buried, their whole relationship starts to shift too. I have to admit that I was as fascinated as Fliss with Margot's story. What a badass and sassy young girl she was! I loved how sometimes you could still see her younger self in her, especially as we got to know her better. Margot and Me is one of those stories that makes you feel special, like the author is sharing a secret with you. It was definitely a pleasure for me to discover Margot and Fiss' stories and I would highly recommend this story to YA readers but also to historical fiction readers. Actually, scratch that. I highly recommend this story to everyone. I finished this story a couple of weeks ago already and I still find myself thinking about it constantly. A story about coming out of age in two very different times but that reminds us about all the good and important things in life. A beautiful novel that will move many hearts. I love historical fiction I love historical fiction, and I love YA, so suffice it to say that I loved this book. I found the connections between Fliss and Margot interesting, and while they werenât parallel stories, their stories still had enough in common that it made sense to have both their stories featured. Margotâs journey becoming pregnant and then having her baby taken away from her made me really sad. I liked how at the end she found out that her son had been looking for her, and then they reconnected.

Her mother is dangerously unstable, her father's empire is on the brink of ruin, and the boy she once loved has become a ruthless killer for hire. To keep her family's dangerous secrets Masie is forced into a lie that will change the course of her future - and leave her trapped in a gilded cage of her own making. As she watches her world fall apart, Masie must decide whether to take her place in the hierarchy, or spread her wings, leaving the people she loves, and the life she despises, far behind her. Members Reviews: Gilded Cage Any additional comments? This short novella takes place in the Gatsby Era, it follows Masie Schultz's family. She has recently come home from boarding school due to a family emergency. When she returns home she finds that life is much darker, things have changed while she's been gone and her father's club is in danger of flopping. More than that, his business in general has begun to threaten the family. Wonderful! A wonderful, coming of age, period work. Masie tries to find a way to be of use as her family's speak-easy and other aspects of the chaos awaiting her-though she's discouraged by her father & his thugs. Meghan Kelly's best performance, yet! *I received this work in exchange for my review; good, bad or meh. I've written all 3 kinds. If you found this review helpful, would you take a moment and select "YES" below? Consider following me on Audible. I review from most genres. Authors, publishers and narrators, please feel free to take my review to any other media that you would like. Thanks! Entertaining roaring 20's story An entertaining novelette that really gives you the feel of what it was like to be the daughter of a speakeasy owner during the early 1920's. It is the prelude to what will be an enjoyable series, as we follow the sassy, determined and talented Masie in her new role as her father's "canary". The narrator, Megan Kelly, did a great job. She gave the characters individual voices and made the story feel like you were back in the time of gangsters and prohibition. Between the great descriptive writing and the captivating narration you could easily visualize the flapper dresses, smoky club atmosphere and the rough demeaned of Dutch's boys. I will look forward to hearing more in this engaging series. I received the audiobook at no cost and under no obligation to review. Boot-leg father and speakeasies, life's challenges What made the experience of listening to Gilded Cage the most enjoyable? It was great to hear different voices created for each character along with getting the feel of the era they live in. The personality and attitude comes through clear with Meghan's narration. By the end, Meghan was Masie's voice for me, along with other characters. I was stunned at the beginning of the story as Meghan seemed to start off with a faster pace than I expected. But I took a breath, rewound, and started over again.

Members Reviews: Received free- FB group Free Audiobooks for Review Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would. This was a really cute story and kept my attention the whole time I listened. Although there were no surprises, it left me wanting more. Who was your favorite character and why? I would have to go with the Dowager. The fact that she was tricking Trey and Judith into thinking she was ill, all because she had wanted the two of them to get together. Priceless. What does Valerie Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator seems to be growing on me. While I still have issues with her randomly pausing while speaking, the variety of accents she does...amazing! She has her own unique way of speaking for each character. When I first started audiobooks, I thought it would be better have at least two narrators (woman for female characters/man for male characters), this narrator does a great job to where I almost forget that it's a male character speaking. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I wanted to listen to it in a single sitting. Of course, I wasn't able to. But any free time I had I was listening to find out what would happen to the characters. Any additional comments? I'm definitely interested in reading/listening to more stories by Mary Higgins. entertaining historical romance Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, this is quite entertaining read for anyone who enjoys historical romance. Who was your favorite character and why? Trey was probably my favorite character, he had been through hell and back but was still willing to fight for love that he wasn't sure he wanted. Which character as performed by Valerie Gilbert was your favorite? Our heroine, simply for the fact that it's the main female lead and much more believable. The narrator did an excellent job pulling at the end of the story but as my first audio book I still struggle hearing a more feminine voice for males. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes when Trey finally admitted his need for her love. Any additional comments? I was gifted a copy of this book by the narrator Valerie, she did an amazing job bringing the story to life. this is an action packed historical romance, our heroine is left all alone after her parents are killed. and she then signed up for an arranged marriage, however she finds love from an unexpected source.

B for Buster Audiobook by Iain Lawrence

Title: B for Buster Author: Iain Lawrence Narrator: Jeff Woodman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Iain Lawrence is the best-selling author of such heralded books for young readers as Lord of the Nutcracker Men, which broached the complicated subject of human experience in war. His novels have been chosen as Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal on more than one occasion. Lawrence again contemplates war in this novel, set in 1943, England. Sixteen-year-old Kak escaped his abusive family in Canada to join the Canadian Air Force. Now a crewman aboard a night-flying bomber bound for Germany, Kak learns of the terror and violence of war firsthand. Members Reviews: A Boy And His Bird Young Kak is only sixteen when he runs away from home, pretends he's an orphan, and winds up far away from his native Canada overseas in the wilds of Yorkshire (England) on an air base preparing to train for the flight crew of a Halifax bomber. The first man he runs into is someone from his home town, Donny Lee, the only one in England who might guess his secret--that he is underage. Thus the novel depends on an amazing coincidence which cripples its credibility right at the start. However, once that nonsense is out of the way, we get a tender and yet exciting war story about the relationship between a flight crew and their pigeon. Yes, you heard me right, apparently before each sortie over occupied Europe a homing pigeon was brought on board and used for all sorts of things, but in Kak's case, little Percy, exquisitely described by teacher Lawrence, becomes his only friend. At first Kak is turned off by Bert, the pigeoneer, dirty and messy, slovenly and fragrant, butb then when he finds out Bert's "back story" he becomes more sympathetic, if horrified. Because there but for the Grace of God went he himself. All the boys in the flight crew carry a lucky charm of some sort; one carries a handkerchief doused with a woman's perfume somewhere on his body, and young Kak wears a ring with a ray-gun on it. He is a comics fan and loves SUPERMAN and BUCK ROGERS. The epilogue reveals that all of this story was based on reality, and it is Lawtence's tribute to the brave Canadian boys who went to war against the Nazi menace. I didn't realize this was a book meant for kids, but it did strike me as improbable the ultra clean language of these bombadiers. About the raciest thing any of them says is "Wheezy jeezy,"--oh, and one of the British speakers under extreme provocation exclaims, "What a bloody balls-up." Outside of that, dialogue is not Iain Lawrence's forte, but he is such a good storyteller that you will forgive him such primness. Dramatic adventure set during World War II Kak is desperate for a chance to get away from the dark presence of his family and create a brighter future for himself. The one chance for him, Kak decides, is to enlist in the Canadian Air Force. By doing so, he hopes to become a part of the Allied bombers during WWII. He dreams of showing off the honor of being a hero to his hometown of Kakabeka. Kak has one little secret, though --- he's only sixteen. He is trained as a wireless operator and sent to a squadron in England. It is the spring of 1943 and the war is still going strong. When Kak arrives at an airfield in Yorkshire, his secret is immediately put to the test. His fellow hometown schoolmate, Donny Lee, is stationed at the airfield and is shocked to see Kak walk into the mess hall.

Approached by a childhood friend and medium, Isabel agrees to look into the murder of a local girl, only to wind up inhabited by the solitary witness - a centuries-old ghost who is all too happy to piggyback along in Isabel's body, and she's not leaving until the culprit is behind bars. With the help of her partner, Shane, and her crazy family, Isabel struggles to get to the truth, unmask a killer, and deal with her growing feelings for not one, but two of the sexy, undead men vying for her heart. Just when things are finally falling into place, a huge revelation takes her out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. Members Reviews: One hit wonder I read the this book because I enjoyed the first one. However, I couldn't get past chapter 5. Isabel Stone's character is a inconsistant and annoying. Her relationships with the two male vampires in her life is hypocritical. She's self rightous and annoying. I won't be reading anymore in this series.

This is the story of a bear-hearted girl.... Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding. Twelve-year-old Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts which try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge, but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. And now there's a spirit inside her. The spirit is wild, brutish and strong, and it may be her only defence when she is sent to live with her father's rich and powerful ancestors. There is talk of civil war, and they need people like her to protect their dark and terrible family secret. But as she plans her escape and heads out into a country torn apart by war, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession - or death. Editorial Reviews: "Hardinge is an unusual talent who deserves to be read by children and adults alike." (Guardian) Members Reviews: Imaginative and dark Thoroughly enjoyed this step back in time with a fantastical twist of darkness. Wonderfully narrated too and had to keep listening into the wee hours. Gripping, moving, brilliant Would you consider the audio edition of A Skinful of Shadows to be better than the print version? I've only listened to it, not read it, but the performance is so good I think it benefits from being read aloud. What other book might you compare A Skinful of Shadows to, and why? Certainly to Frances Hardinge's other books, but she seems to be just getting better and better as a writer. There are similarities between her writing and that of Hilary Mantel, as well as perhaps Garth Nix's excellent Sabriel series. Have you listened to any of Tuppence Middletons other performances? How does this one compare? No I haven't but will look out for her in the future. My favourite ever audiobook incredible, I'm still reeling from the brilliance of the story line to the beauty of it's delivery. I'm.off to buy the other two books on here right now. thank you Frances & Tuppence. Loved it! So well written and a cracking adventure and story line. Characters in the book to love and fear. If like me you enjoyed Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, you will probably enjoy this book too as it shares common ground. Narrator is fantastic too

Jones Narrator: Jennifer Groberg Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 02-15-17 Publisher: Clean Reads Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: It is May 1932 and life in the timbered rise and fall of western Arkansas has just gotten harder for 16-year-old Sooze Williams. With debt mounting and both friends and family fleeing, Sooze is determined to "do the right thing". She promises her heart to a well-to-do man believing true love is just another loss along the way. But when her uncle is murdered and family is accused of the crime, Sooze vows not to be beaten. Is salvation within her grasp by relying solely on truth, or is it in the security of her intended's money? Sooze must decide before it's too late. Members Reviews: Excellent Read! Shadow of the Hawk is one of the best books Iâve read in a long while. Although, It is written for the young adult audience, I believe all ages will find it captivating. The story is about a family trying to survive harsh drought conditions in 1930s Arkansas during the great depression. The family with four children, from 18 years down to 6 weeks old, has decided to stay and keep their modest farm going while most of the folks in Coaldale are leaving for California to escape the dust bowl and to find work. Ms. Jonesâ finely-tuned writing skills will awaken all of your senses by ushering you through the details of their meager meals, to experiencing the wildflowers in the fields and the grit in the air. You will share the familyâs emotions through losing friends, falling in love, fighting for their lives as they know it, as well as the tragedy and death of loved ones. I loved her well-developed characters, from Rebellious David, responsible Sooze, Spunky Cora, to innocent baby Grace. The love and devotion of the parents for each other and for their family really shows through in the story. I especially loved the court scene when Sooze has to testify on her brotherâs behalf. Shadow of the Hawk, Ms. Jonesâ debut Novel, has already won several literary awards. There is no doubt in my mind it will win even more. Strong writing. Great Characterization! Shadow of the Hawk was a lovely read. Ms. Jones did a fantastic job of bringing the reader into the 1930's and then allowing us into the heart of one girl who wanted to help her family at all costs. I particularly liked Sooze and felt myself agonize with her struggles and devotion to her family. There was a little bit of Little House on the Prairie and strong writing that reminded me a little of To Kill A Mocking Bird. If you enjoy a period piece told from the angle of a teenager, you'd probably love this book. I applaud Ms. Jones and would be love to read more of her work. Superb historical fiction; move over, John Steinbeck! This is a superb debut historical novel that reads like the finest of literary fiction. The details of the setting are richly drawn without distracting from the characters or plot and make you want to savor them, and yet the reader can't linger too long because the situation presses upon the characters with increasing urgency until you have to find out what happens to the narrator, Sooze, who is engaged to the wrong man because she wants to help her family, and to her family member who is falsely accused of murder. I feel like I've traveled back in time to 1932 Arkansas and experienced a poignant slice of a family's struggles to survive with dignity.

Title: White Crane Subtitle: Samurai Kids #1 Author: Sandy Fussell Narrator: Joshua Swanson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-11 Publisher: Candlewick on Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Niya Moto is the only one-legged samurai kid in Japan, famous for falling flat on his face in the dirt. None of the samurai schools will teach crippled Niya, until an offer arrives from the legendary samurai warrior Ki-Yaga, sensei of the Cockroach Ryu. Niya and the other Cockroaches must defeat the fierce samurai students from the Dragon Ryu at the Samurai Trainee Games. Though they seem to be at a terrible disadvantage, its not long before they learn that if they stick together, there is no journey that they cannot complete, no fear that they cannot face, and no battle that they cannot win. Members Reviews: An absolute pleasure to read I picked up this book by accident. A friend had recommended another samurai series, but I couldn't remember the name. It was not the intended book, but I found a treasure! I read it aloud to my 7 yo son, and we were both enthralled. As previous reviewers have said, there is plenty of humor, action, and adventure---just perfect for a young boy! What I've not read in previous reviews is just how beautifully written these books are! It's absolutely lovely, almost poetic. And the themes are marvelous: teamwork, overcoming adversity, integrity, honor, courage. I think my favorite line in this book is the one in which Niya questions why another child will be invited to be in the Cockroach school the next year when he is able-bodied. Sensei responded so wonderfully. Something to the effect of---Silly boy, I didn't choose you for what you were missing. I choose my students by what they have inside them---great stuff. And such a marvelous message for everyone. Needless to say, we will read them all! Kept my kiddo reading into the night "There just aren't enough books about Samurai." This was the lament I heard from my son last month. I wasn't aware of this lack, but once I started looking I realized he was right, there aren't many Samurai/Ninja books for middle grade readers. I found this one just by combining samurai/children books, but was wary of buying it, my son is notoriously picky about books, so I made him read the excerpt. A few minutes later I heard him yell, I rushed back into the room and he said, "I must have this book, I have to find out what happens next!" Well, he really enjoyed the story, especially the ending. It also inspired him to look up things online; kitana, dojo, sensei and rice pudding (weird, but he really likes pudding). He said the competition reminded him a little of Toph's school of metalbending (from Avatar the Last Airbender). All in all a fun and fast book that I highly recommend for kids, I took a look at the book and think the reading level is for 10-12 year olds. Great Book Anybody who wants to be a samurai or is just looking for a nice, fun tale of wisdom and courage must read the this book. Full of action and adventure White Crane is a great book for young readers! loved it! My 5th grade son, who I usually have a hard time finding books for, loved it! Five Stars Great series.

If Marcus Eastman truly loved her, how could he have fallen for another girl so quickly? Their romance mustn't have been as magical as Clara thought. And if she has to be unhappy, she's going to drag everyone else down to the depths of despair right along with her. Being a Barnard girl is the stuff of Lorraine Dyer's dreams. Finding out that Marcus is marrying a gold digger who may or may not be named Anastasia? A nightmare. The old Lorraine would have sat by and let the chips fall where they may, but she's grown up a lot these past few months. She can't bear to see Marcus lose a chance for true love. But will anyone listen to her? Now that the charges against her have been dropped, Gloria Carmody is spending the last dizzying days of summer on Long Island, yachting on the sound and palling around with socialites at Forrest Hamilton's swanky villa. Beneath her smile, though, Gloria's keeping a secret. One that could have deadly consequences.... Members Reviews: 1920s romance and adventure... I seriously could not get enough of this series!!! I adore it! I fell in love with the characters and could not wait to find out what would happen next! We start out with Marcus being engaged to another girl! Definitely a bombshell to start off with! Clara keeps trying to appeal to everyone who will read "The Manhattanite" to tell them all about the innocence of her cousin, Gloria. Finally, Gloria gets busted out of jail only to work with the Feds to take down Forrest, a young millionaire whose story seems so eerily similar to Jay Gatsby (in my opinion)! She stays at his mansion and once again lives a life of luxury. Meanwhile, Lorraine is actually sober during college and taking her studies seriously. She makes two new friends, her roommate and a boy named Melvin. Her roommate tells her the real story of Marcus's fiancé, Anastasia, that she's really a gold-digging criminal. Lorraine gets Clara involved so they have to work together to take this girl down. Gloria is trying to find the dirt out on Forrest so she can get out of this mess and see Jerome again. The wedding finally arrives and so many things happen- it is a whirlwind of drama! Will Marcus marry "Anastasia"? Will he get back with Clara? Has Lorraine met the man of her dreams? What happens to Forrest? Does Gloria take him down? Does she finally get to see and be with Jerome again? I loved listening to all 3 books Where does Diva rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I enjoyed listening to Diva not the best narration compared to other books I have listened to. What other book might you compare Diva to and why? The Luxe series. What does Abby Craden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? More graphic details of what is going on with each character. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I love when Clara stop Marcus wedding to Deidara. Any additional comments? I enjoyed the Vixen series and I am happy Gloria and Jerome got to be together in the end.

Title: Return Once More Author: Trisha Leigh Narrator: Casey Turner Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-16 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Years have passed since refugees from a ruined Earth took to space, eventually settling a new system of planets. Not only has science made the leaps necessary to allow time travel, but the process engineered a strange side effect - predicting your one true love. Sixteen-year-old Kaia Vespasian is an apprentice to the Historians - a group charged with using time travel to document the triumphs and failures of the past - and she can't resist a peek at her long-dead soul mate in ancient Egypt. Before she knows it, she's broken every rule in the book, and the consequences of getting caught could destroy more than just her new romance. But when Kaia notices a fellow classmate snooping around in a time where he doesn't belong, she suspects he has a secret of his own - and the conspiracy she uncovers could threaten the entire universe. If her experience has taught her anything, changing history means facing the consequences. The Historians trained her to observe and record the past, but Kaia never guessed she might have to protect it - in a race across time to save her only chance at a future. Members Reviews: Fast-paced, merciless and very entertaining read! What a fantastic story, you guys! Get it in any format, it's worth it, and it's especially lovely on audio. This is exactly the type of YA I adore - fast-paced, serious, merciless and with no-nonsense attitude. I got teary-eyed a couple of times because of the love story, and believe me, - it was tragic... So what it's all about? Kaia is a student of The Historians, a group of people who observe history, clarify the historical events and make them available for the society, so it would learn not to make the same mistakes again. This society exists on a variety of planets far away from Earth which was abandoned couple of generations ago. Everything is tightly regulated, resources are limited, and religious, gender or racial prejudice is completely eradicated. One of the fun things the teenagers get to do on their 17th birthday is receiving a computerized prediction of their soulmate throughout history based on their genetic compatibility. Most laugh it off because chances are your soulmate is already dead or hasn't been born yet, but Kaia's friend, Sara, won a soulmate history and got a partner in one of fellow students, Oz, while Kaia's prediction is no other than Cesarian, Julius Cesar and Cleopatra's son. What a restless teen does, you can guess. She manages to find a way to travel back in time to see Cesarian, but accident happens and they start interacting, breaking a major rule of non-involvement while time travelling. While these two fall head over heels for each other while knowing they only have a matter of weeks before Cesarian dies as it happened in written history, Kaia manages to discover a major conspiracy within The Historians which can destroy everyone and everything she holds dear and which involves her friend's boyfriend, Oz. This book has layers upon layers of plot, a few very compelling twists, and as I said already, a tragic love story. Kaia, Oz, Cesarian, Sara and Ellie(?) - sorry can't remember her name well, are engaging characters, and the ending on top of it all left me reeling.

A Fence Around Her Audiobook by Brigid Amos

Woodworth Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-17 Publisher: Clean Reads Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Having a mother with a past is never easy. For Ruthie Conoboy it becomes the struggle of a lifetime in 1900, the year Tobias Mortlock arrives in the gold mining town of Bodie, California. Ruthie is suspicious of this stranger, but her trusting father gives him a job in the stamp mill. Soon, Ruthie suspects that her mother and Mortlock have become more than friends. Can Ruthie stop this man from destroying her family? Members Reviews: A clear voice of growing maturity and family love. What made the experience of listening to A Fence Around Her the most enjoyable? A clear and grounded voice expressing the struggle and vulnerability of a young girl coming to terms with the failures of a mother she loves. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Fence Around Her? The young heroine understands the depths of her mother's pain as she watches in anguish as her mother is publicly shamed and ostracized. Which character as performed by Leonor A. Woodworth was your favorite? Each character was distinctive and added depth to the story. The reading of Tobias Mortlock was rich with a sinister and ominous flare he so well deserved! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? The story was never far from my mind as I waited for available time to jump into listening during flights. Any additional comments? Brigid Amos skillfully captures the vulnerability of a young girl with a wounded heart learning to transcend her disappointment and loss and step into maturity through forgiveness and love. So, so much more than "Generic Romance Novel" If you could sum up A Fence Around Her in three words, what would they be? engrossing, researched, solid What did you like best about this story? "Agency" is a new buzzword but please forgive me, it's the only word I can think of right now! Ruthie makes her own decisions, acknowledging what she sees as safe and what she thinks of as inappropriate THEN SHE ACTS! I think books with one young woman on the cover can look "romance novel" by default. I don't enjoy those where women, even lead characters, sit around and wait for things to happen to them. That isn't Ruthie and the author did a great job of letting her character act...but not stupidly. Making just any decision would jump the shark and I was pleased that her character was consistently logical and clever as well as emotional. Also, the author wove mining into the story with great detail but I never felt we were being told as padding, or filler. It worked. Which scene was your favorite? Ruthie helps her mom with a bath and and you can just HEAR how she wants to be a good daughter and comforting, but her more adult sensibilities are wondering if her mom is being overly dramatic about "dying in this town." It was a good, pioneer-spirit sort of feeling when a teen version Ruthie would have told her 2017 mom to quit being a drama llama. I would like to say here that I thought the narration and pacing were good throughout the book, but I felt the reader didn't find the right tone for the mother's voice. It was an odd pitch, drawn out, and more of a caricature than other people.

Title: Newes from the Dead Author: Mary Hooper Narrator: Rosalyn Landor, Michael Page Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Meanwhile, a shy young medical student attends his first dissection and notices something strange as the doctors prepare their tools...Did her eyelids just flutter? Could this corpse be alive? Haunting, thrilling, and impossible to put down, Newes from the Dead is based on the true story of the real Anne Green, a servant who survived a hanging in 1650 England only to awaken on the dissection table. Newes from the Dead concludes with an excerpt from an original 1651 document that recounts this chilling medical phenomenon. Critic Reviews: "A historical mystery that is creepy in the best Edgar Allen Poe tradition, as well as thought-provoking." ( Booklist) Members Reviews: Loved every single page! It is 1650s in England. A girl lies in a coffin, dead, after being hanged. Welcome to the story of Anne, a story that just happened to be based on real events. I picked this book because xxxx mentioned it as one book that hasn't received enough attention but should. I TOTALLY agree with you Brandi. I am not going to tell you why Anne was hanged, you need to read the book to find out by yourself :-) After Anne was hanged, her body was to be dissected for medical studies. However, just when the first incision on Anne's body is about to be made, Anne's eyelids move... or so is though by everyone in the room. How could she not be dead after she was hanged? What follows is an intense and funny set of procedures to determine if, in fact, Anne's body and soul are still on this world or the other. Oh! Newes from the dead is lovely! I enjoyed every single moment of the story. Granted, I was mad at Anne for believing her master but, it's not much that she believed him but that she chose to do so. Back to the writing, Hooper hypnotized me with her style. It was never too much, or too little but just perfect. The ending: not a typical happy ending if you call it a happy ending at all. Since the story is based on the real life of Anne, it ended the way, I guess, it did centuries ago. Exciting True-ish Story This book is not for children. There is some sexual material that would be inappropriate. This is an exciting tale based on a true story of a girl who was hanged until "dead" and lived. The majority of the story takes place as flash backs as the two main characters think about their lives. Lots of great historical details. It is very apparent that Mary Hooper does her research. Good book We read this book for our book group. It was definately very interesting. And well written. For some reason though, I had a hard time getting thru it. But it was good. Excellent book, historians and mystery readers will love! I could not put this book down. Although the book is for the young adult readers I found it to be interesting and not dumbed down in any way. The history in the story coupled with the imagination of the writer is wonderful. A must read. loved it Great book. Enjoyed the story, purchased for my teen daughter and decided to read it first myself. Glad I did

Like MacColl's Prisoners in the Palace, Promise the Night propels the listener into an evocative story with an unforgettable protagonist, while bringing the setting and time period to life. Immediately compelling and action-packed, this work of historical fiction explores the life of Beryl Markham, the fist person to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west from England to North America. From raising horses and hunting during her childhood in Africa to learning to fly as a young woman, Beryl's inspiring life and adventures will keep listeners voraciously turning the pages. Members Reviews: Sucks you right in My son was assigned this book for middle school and my wife and I read it as well. All three of us enjoyed it a lot. I felt that the ending was rushed, but I am very glad to have read it. It is the type of book that sparks conversation and thought. Very enjoyable! Courage and determination triumph Today's middle schoolers often lack real world role models to challenge their character development. I remember reading my way through shelves of biographies in my school library's biography section. However, my own 10 year-old granddaughter shows no such desire, preferring rather to get lost in fantasies where children, cats, and magic determine the world's fate. Thus, I chose to read this book in hopes of enticing her to dream a little more realistically about her own future. My conclusion? This author chose an interesting writing style in which to communicate the biography of a woman with a great deal of character and determination. I am looking forward to challenging my granddaughter's character growth and understanding of the world around her with this book during her middle school years. This book will appeal to anyone with a sense of adventure I loved this book. I bought it for my pre-teen girls and they loved it too. It was wonderful to be able to talk to my girls about the fact that this book was based on a true story. The girls couldn't get over how different of a life the girl in the story had as compared with our own experiences. It really opened up that sense of wonder for them and I loved seeing that in them. The story really captivated me as well as the kids. Five Stars Wonderful book. Wonderful! Wonderful retelling of many facts in Berle Cutterbucks life. Michaela uses her story writing ability to make this story interesting and fun.

Title: The Feathered Serpent Author: Scott O'Dell Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: A young Spanish seminarian, whom the Mayas believe is their powerful god, Kukulcán, witnesses the coming of Cortés and the capture of the magnificent Aztec city, Tenochtitlan. ©1981 Scott O'Dell; (P)2009 Audible, Inc. Members Reviews: Good Fictional Intro to Cortes v. Moctezuma Scott O'Dell's "The Feathered Serpent" is the second book of his "Seven Serpent's Trilogy", which also includes "The Captive" and "The Amethyst Ring". In "The Captive" we meet the young Julian Escobar who travels to the New World in the hopes of introducing Christianity to this land full of pagan "savages". He finds instead that the darkest hearts reside in his god-fearing, and gold-lusting fellow Spaniards. In "Feathered Serpent", we find that Escobar is not the typical hero, which makes for an interesting and unusual angle for young adult readers. Escobar has faults...and a very large one in particular when he assumes the role of Mayan god Kukulkan. At first it's a simple ploy to stay alive, but over time, we see this simulated godhood become him...and he it. Originally an unordained seminarian, Escobar rationalizes that it's acceptable to act as Kukulkan as perhaps the only way he can bring Christ to the native 'savages'. While witnessing this sometimes severe transformation of Escobar, the real beauty in O'Dell's story is his incorporation of the real-life conquest of Hernan Cortes over Moctezuma's Aztec nation. "Feathered Serpent" places Escobar (as God Kukulkan under-cover) right in the path of Cortes' march from the east coast of Mexico into Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztecs. He intercedes on behalf of the natives, but Cortes is too focused and the Spanish are too strong for Escobar to have any real impact. O'Dell does a fine job of blending his fictional characters with these real life events, and makes his story a great way to introduce the classic tale of Cortes' clash with Moctezuma. He weaves a complicated set of events into a simple, well-flowing adventure. If it's any indication of their quality and impact, I've found myself thinking about the first two stories days after I've finished them, and looking forward to jumping in and finishing the third. Great Book This book has suspence. It askes questions about a humna's basic morals. Great For Edventurerous People It was kick Booty! I loved it, thumbs up!

But just as he's about to start his future with the Cobras, his past calls him back. Way back - to the 19th-century, where he meets his ancestors and gets a bitter taste of what life was like for them as slaves. Jordan must live with the constant threat of the whip's lash. His journey back in time will strike a chord with any young person who has felt trapped by hard times and difficult choices. Members Reviews: Five Stars Great book ! Educational-entertaining-a book you can't put down..... Trapped Between the Lash and the Gun is a story about a young man about to join a gang. As part of the initiation into the gang, this African-American youth has to buy a gun. To get money for this gun, he steals his grandfather's watch - a prized family heirloom which has been passed down through his family since the days of slavery. As he walks to the pawn shop with the watch in his hand, he is suddenly transported back to the days of slavery in the old South. Not knowing how to survive this brutal time period, not knowing the rules of survival as a slave, he must learn to survive long enough to get back to the present. I have taught this novel in my eighth grade language arts class for several years. It has been accorded the highest honor as my students ask - "Can we read Trapped Between the Lash and the Gun" again, today? What a joy to teach a book that students eagerly read and enjoy. In the process, this book teaches that gang-life and slavery are one and the same. They both operate on the basis of fear and brutality while binding one to a system where there is no escape. One of the best young people books One of the best young people books!! I have bought 10 of these for my classes and hope to purchase more! A quick read. Captures the attention of the reader from the very beginning. It is an excellent story tale which combines the subject of time-travel with real-life issues we hear about in the presence connected to a dark past. Excellent Learning Experience I did the audio version of this book and stumbled on it when searching for other novels narrated by Allyson Johnson. At first, I hesitated because after reading the publisher's summary about a young boy named Jordan joining a gang, I was not interested in the story line. When I discovered that young Jordan would be going back in time to discover the history of his ancestors, it captured my attention. I am happy to say that I was NOT disappointed. Arvella Whitmore did an excellent job entertaining me with this delightful story. This story is one that could be helpful to youngsters willing to listen. The story definitely helps one appreciate how you do not know how much you fail to appreciate something until you lose it. Young Jordan certainly learned this valuable lesson, especially after learning about the life of his ancestors. Thumbs up to this book! You will not be disappointed. It is well worth the listen.

Members Reviews: Failure This is a fictional account of a spy for England in Philadelphia during the days leading up to the Constitution being ratified.It dealt a lot with the slavery issue.It was good.I liked Alexander Parrish reading but some of his narration could use some work.I was provided this book free by the publisher, author or narrator for a honest review. Fun informative story This was an entertainment jaunt through the Philadelphia of the Constitutional Convention. Not exactly a cliffhanger but a little bit of suspense about the heart posture of the main character. The narration was great and engaging. If you like this story and you want some more, you could check out "James Madison and the Struggle for the Bill of Rights". I'm excited to read some of her other titles I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review Historically Accurate! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I loved this book! It is written from the perspective of Henry, a British man sent to keep an eye on the Constitutional Convention delegates. It was really interesting to see the terms of what would eventually become the Constitution from the outside, from the perspective of somebody who represented the vast majority of America. It was historically accurate, which I loved and it was well written. Well worth a read. Well written and performed If you could sum up Failure in Philadelphia? in three words, what would they be? This book was well written, well performed and kept my attention, I loved the perspective the author used and I learned history at the same time. I enjoyed the voices the narrated used. What other book might you compare Failure in Philadelphia? to and why? I can't think of any quite like it. The Rush Revere book series comes to mind because they also are a fun way to learn history. Have you listened to any of Alexander Parrishs other performances before? How does this one compare? No I have not. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I liked that George Washington was so revered, even by the spy it seemed. Any additional comments? I really enjoyed that the author used the POV of a British indentured servant "spy" to bring the history to life. The Constitutional Conv. with a twist of Screwtape Where does Failure in Philadelphia? rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I place this audiobook in the top 20% of the 500+ books to which I've listened.

Title: The Old Brown Suitcase Author: Lillian Boraks-Nemetz Narrator: Sofia Bunting-Newman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-15 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: The Old Brown Suitcase, an award winning book that has sold extraordinarily well both around the globe, now appears in a new edition by Ronsdale Press. The novel narrates the absorbing story of a young girl who survived the Holocaust against all odds. Slava, a 14-year-old teen, comes to Canada with her parents and sister and a suitcase filled with memories of a lost childhood, memories that now haunt her new life. She cannot forget the hunger, stench, and disease in the Warsaw Ghetto, nor the fear and humiliation of being incarcerated behind a high brick wall. She cannot forget her extraordinary escape from the Ghetto, leaving behind her beloved parents and sister. Nor can she forget being swallowed up in a strange and unknown place to survive under a hidden identity. The story juxtaposes heart-wrenching scenes from a child's life in war-torn Poland with the life of a teenager trying to adjust to a new country in time of peace. In Canada, it is not easy for Slava to build a bridge between two cultures; nor is it easy to live with the turmoil of her immediate past. At the same time she must face the new challenges involved in being an immigrant, a Jew and a teenage girl.

His brother has become mixed up with local criminals who use the familys tea shop as a front for a smuggling operation. His sister, meanwhile, has fallen in love with an apprentice to a puppet master who stands accused of murder. Somehow, Seikei senses the two are connected. His loyalties divided between his new family and his old, Seikei must find the real killer before it is too late. Set against the eerie backdrop of the old Japanese puppet theaters, where life-sized marionettes were controlled by black-cloaked men, Edgar Award-winners Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler render their most satisfying mystery to date. Editorial Reviews: Family ties, honor, and loyalty are the main themes explored in this audiobook entitled A Samurai Never Fears Death. The main character, Seikei, is torn by ties between his birth family and his adopted family. The setting is the old puppet theaters of Japan, which add a surreal, disturbing element to this thrilling murder mystery.

Listeners will appreciate the sweet, almost boyish voice of Hadyen Lee, who narrates this audio. Members Reviews: Boring Audio was great but story wasn't very good. Not really my type of book!!

Chow Narrator: Kieren Metts Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Jennifer J. Chow Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: From Jennifer J. Chow, author of the award-winning The 228 Legacy, comes a young adult novel about immigrant struggles and family conflict. It's 1880 in Fresno, California when 17-year-old Topaz Woo dies after giving birth. She can get an extension in a non-physical body if she uses The Ten Commandments to influence her newborn. Over the course of ten years, she finds herself stymied in parenting by intergenerational drama and spiritual battle. Will she adjust to an otherworldly existence and give her daughter a solid foundation? Or will she become mired in family disputes and forfeit her soul to evil? Members Reviews: Interesting take on afterlife This story is unique and a bit sad. It is about a mother's love and her journey to help her daughter. The story starts off with the mother dying during childbirth. It is sad because it could have so easily been prevented. Her father-in-law is a piece of work. Narration was fairly good and brought the story to life. The journey is an unusual one because the mother will have to incorporate one of the 10 commandments into her daughter's life yearly. She will have ten years to get through all of them. It is frustrating that she cannot be much of a part of her daughter's life. Occasionally, she is able to interact with her but very minimally. It was a good story with some unique ideas about the afterlife. I enjoyed listening to it. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." Dragonfly Dreams This was a good story.The whole '10 commandmant' thing with a twist was a nice touch.Kieren Metts was a good narrator.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Interesting concept but sadly underdeveloped NOTE: This book was provided for free at my request and I voluntarily wrote this review. The premise of the story - a young woman from an immigrant family dying in childbirth only to be given more time as an influential spirit in her daughter's upbringing - gave me high hopes, as it's unique and had a lot of potential. I'm also a sucker for tragic protagonists, and Topaz certainly fit the bill, with her low social status, in-law issues, and the whole dying in chapter 1 thing. Sadly I ended up frustrated with her throughout the story; in an effort to avoid spoilers, I won't go into detail, but she continuously makes thoughtless decisions and does not learn from the repercussions, in a way that felt less 'realistic, flawed character' and more 'oh come on, really?'. The world itself fell flat as well, and could've benefited from hefty doses of vivid, historically-accurate descriptions. I did enjoy the more supernatural imagery (angels, auras, golden threads, etc.), and the intermixing religions and cultural values, but those features couldn't make up for the rest of the story. The narration was fine, but the voice didn't seem like a great fit for the main character, and I noticed an audio editing error (a line repeated, as if it was a take that wasn't properly edited out of the final recording)...not the end of the world, but jarring. All in all, it was okay, but felt more like a solid draft than a fully developed novel. Wished that change lives. Any additional comments? This is a fairly sad tale.

Title: Neonazis & Euromaidan Subtitle: From Democracy to Dictatorship Author: Stanislav Byshok Narrator: Jack Chekijian Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-14 Publisher: Eugene Luzgin Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: The audiobook describes the development of Ukraine's nationalist groups since 1991 until present day. It focuses on the history of the parliamentary right-wing radical Svoboda party and the nonparliamentary Right Sector movement. The authors study the ideology, psychology, and methods of political struggle of these structures. The experts seek to answer the question: How did the radical neo-Nazi groups manage to become the key driving force behind the Ukrainian revolution? Members Reviews: Explanation of events which led to Euromaidan Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this audiobook who wants to understands the history of political movements in Ukraine and underlying reasons which led to Euromaidan revolution and an ongoing civil war in Ukraine. Who was your favorite character and why? This is History book with many characters. What does Jack Chekijian bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Jack Chekijian clear voice and perfect diction makes it easy to follow storyline in this audiobook. In just over 7 hours listener receives a volume of information and gains understanding of events available to very few analysts. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I found history of Right Sector partuculary interesting. Also when you listen to Manifesto in appendix chapter - you will find many parallels to ideas once expressed by Adolf Hitler about super race and clearing Europe from all inferior races. And then you realize the danger of such ideas taking hold even in modern day and age. Any additional comments? The book Neonazis & Euromaidan was presented in many major cities in Europe Brussel, Berlin, Paris, Moscow, Warsaw, Athens. And in some cities the book was presented twice. The book was also (presented) announced in both European and Russian parliaments. Since its first presentation, the authors never faced a single instance of criticizm on the subject and content of this book. However, almost all book presentations were accompanied/confronted by provocations of some EU residents supporting new Ukrainian government. Sometimes circumstances led to us to change time and places of the meetings with readers. On the contrary, the other group of people, who originally came from Eastern Ukraine, and now live in EU, visited our presentations and thanked us for informing the public about the tragic events that are taking place in their homeland. Public interest to this book by Europeans, who want to know an alternative to the one-sided view of the events presented by the mainstream media, have been great resulting in the second edition of Neonazis & Euromaidan being sold out in just one month. The latest, or the third, edition of the book practically presents the same material, as in its previous edition, but it is updated with more reference materials to the sources of information found in the book. This references should help any interested reader, or a researcher, to expend further on the information found in the book through their own research on this topic. We dedicate this last edition of the book to the memory of all those who died in imposed civil war in Ukraine that started shortly after Euromaidan.

House of Dead Maids Audiobook by Clare Dunkle

Title: House of Dead Maids Author: Clare Dunkle Narrator: Emily Gray Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Young Tabby Aykroyd has been brought to the dusty mansion of Seldom House to be nursemaid to a foundling boy. He is a savage little creature, but the Yorkshire moors harbor far worse, as Tabby soon discovers. Why do scores of dead maids and masters haunt Seldom House with a jealous devotion that extends beyond the grave? As Tabby struggles to escape the evil forces rising out of the land, she watches her young charge choose a different path. Long before he reaches the old farmhouse of Wuthering Heights, the boy who will become Heathcliff has doomed himself and any who try to befriend him. Members Reviews: Worthy Read When I first began reading , I didn't think this book was what I thought it would be. As I continued it captivated me. The surprise twist ending made the book a keeper. a decent read This novel was a quick read for me. Unfortunately, I knew what the gotcha of the mystery was so that diminished the impact for me. I do recommend it for those who like YA ghost stories. Three Stars Okay She's seen the cold ones Clare B. Dunkle has tried out a lot of different genres -- a fantasy trilogy, a sci-fi duology, and a masterful historical horror tale. "The House of Dead Maids" easily fits into the last category, with ghastly dead girls slipping through a strange cursed house, but Dunkle makes the living characters just as creepy... even a strange little boy with no name. Tabby Ackroyd is the new "young maid" at Seldom House, charged to take care of a wild, nameless boy (known as "Himself"), who is apparently the new master of the house (even though he's not related to the OLD master). But Tabby soon discovers that there's something horribly wrong with her new position -- nobody except her cares about Himself, there isn't a church nearby, and strange ghostly girls with pitlike eyes keep appearing. But the most horrifying discovery is when Tabby realizes that one of the dead girls was the previous maid -- and she's only one of many maids who has died there. As she tries to protect herself and Himself from the evil forces surrounding (and filling) Seldom House, Tabby begins to realize that the danger is not just aimed at the little boy, but at herself as well. "The House of Dead Maids" has some interesting literary connections -- Tabby is based on the Bronte sisters' housekeeper, and Himself... well, you'll find out who he is, and why his wild, passionate ways are so important. But even if you're unfamiliar with Bronte lore, this book is still a magnificent story -- think a gothic horror story for kids. Most of this comes from Dunkle's command of language and atmosphere. The entire book drips with dank, heavy gothic atmosphere and a general feeling of impending doom ("She was nothing but a hollowed-out skin plumped up with shadow"). And she manages to reveal just enough of the mystery surrounding Seldom House without making us feel like Tabby should know what's going on -- there's something horrible coming up, but we don't really know what it is. The two most impressive characters are, of course, Tabby and Himself -- she's a prim, rather ordinary 19th-century servant girl with very strong Christian beliefs. Himself is the exact opposite: a wild, strange child who is swayed entirely by his own selfish passions. Mrs.

After reading "Rimrider", I immediately bought "Outlaw Jane". I was anxious to get to it, so I totally ignored all the other books I've had in my TBR list (as well as housework and sleep!) , and dove right in. I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. It's a good sequel, and I'm looking forward to book three coming out, though it looks like I'll be waiting awhile on that. Kelley did well expanding on her world, adding more to it as the story unfolded. It was an enjoyable read, with interest and excitement that kept me reading when I should have been doing other things! I can't wait for the next one so I can immerse myself in the continuing adventures of Jane, Gem, and all the others! Five Stars This is a very good read. Insightful, thoughtful and very well-written. Love L.A. Kelley's books. 2nd book in an enthralling series of 3. Read the first one then immediately bought the second and third. This was the second and it moved seamlessly from the first book and also into the third. These stories are suitable for any age from 12 to my age (67). Great story, well planned and well delivered. Love all the characters including the Leewits. Check it out. Start with "Rimrunner" and you'll be hooked. Love it Love the setting, and I love the character s. I got the first as a lark and I am on the edge of my seat Ride the Rim, it is a good ride I really enjoyed this second book in the series, as much as the first one. I cannot wait to get the 3rd book to see how the author brings everything to a conclusion. It was hard to put down. Worth the read.

The Last Execution Audiobook by Jesper Wung-Sung

Title: The Last Execution Author: Jesper Wung-Sung Narrator: Graham Rowat Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 03-24-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Based on the chilling true story of the last execution in Denmark's history, this award-winning, mesmerizing novel asks a question that plagues a small Danish town: Does a 15-year-old boy deserve to be put to death? On February 22, 1853, 15-year-old Niels Nelson is prepared to be executed on Gallows Hill. The master carpenter comes to measure Niels for his coffin. The master baker bakes bread for the spectators. The messenger posts the notice of execution in the town square. The poet prepares his best pen to record the events as they unfold. A fly, Niels' only companion in the cell, buzzes. A dog hovers by his young master's window. A young girl hovers, too, pitying the boy. The executioner sharpens his blade. This remarkable, wrenching story is told with the alternating perspectives of 11 different bystanders - one per hour - as the clock ticks ever closer to the moment when the boy must face his fate. Niels Nelson, a young peasant, was sentenced to death by beheading on the dubious charges of arson and murder. Does he have the right to live despite what he is accused of? That is the question the townsfolk ask as the countdown begins. With strong social conscience, piercing intellect, and masterful storytelling, Jesper Wung-Sung explores the age-old question: Who determines who has the right to live or die? Members Reviews: The Last Execution gave me a few nightmares and I loved every minute of it! THE LAST EXECUTION by Jasper Wung-Sung is an historical fiction account about the execution of 15-year-old Niels Nielsen. The book recounts the hours leading up to the execution and the differing opinions on the boy and his actions. The reader is even able to experience the last hours with Niels and discover what thoughts might have ran through his mind on his final day. Niels sits in his prison awaiting his execution when the book begins. He is convicted on multiple counts of arson and murder of the sheriff's young son. But Niels has not led the life the other children in Denmark have lived. He and his father spent years on the run from the police who would put them in the workhouse because they could not pay to eat. His dead mother and his ailing father are all that consume Niels' thoughts throughout the day. His father struggles to find them work but most employers cast them away without a second thought. They are filthy beggars and no one bothers with them. The scene flashes back to the boy's prison cell where he sits daydreaming about lost love and his life that could have been. When the carpenter comes to get the measurements for Niels' coffin he stares straight forward as if everything is normal. But he cannot help but think of his lost love's beautiful hair and enchanting smile as the hours draw to a close on his last day. He did not mean to set fire to the barn, it was just cold outside. And the sheriffs' son insulted both of his parents. But he does not think he meant to kill the little boy. At least that's what he tells himself. But it does not matter now --- not now that the people curse his name and spit on the ground at the thought of his crimes. But the people who meet him know that there must be something more to this murderer than the pure evil everyone throws upon him. They all know that somehow he is different. Somehow he is special. Wung-Sung does a fantastic job of making historical fiction not only seem realistic but also jump off the page.

Trudy Cameron, an 11-year-old girl introduced to listeners in The Dream Bucket, meets a 13-year-old neighbor, Manuela Blayne. Trudy and her seven-year-old stepsister, Bailey Benton, make friends with Manuela, while Trudy realizes she can never understand her new friend. Yasmin, Manuela's mother, has given the girl to Nettie and Herschel Blayne, who were born into slavery. Manuela's grandmother, Nettie, is epileptic. Her grandfather, Herschel, an alcoholic, makes and sells all kinds of illegal spirits. Manuela Blayne the fourth book in the Covington Chronicles. It is a complete story that stands alone. To understand some of the characters fully, however, it would be beneficial to listen to The Dream Bucket first. In first-person point of view, Trudy tells the story in her own words. As Trudy and her siblings mature, they indulge in surprising mischief. The novella tells the struggles of young people to achieve what they hope for by overcoming various obstacles. Manuela Blayne is not primarily a romance, but it contains an unexpected romance. Trudy sees how different her opportunities are from those afforded to Manuela. Trudy finds it impossible not to suffer some of what her friend endures. She hopes to help her friend make a difference in life, while Manuela exemplifies a beautiful new kind of hope. Members Reviews: The little girl voice was great - very compelling! Where does Manuela Blayne rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Very high. I plan to listen to it again. What did you like best about this story? Love the Covington Chronicles, and how this fits in. What does Victoria Phelps bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Loved her "little girl" voice, felt like I was there! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The whole book was a moving story - I listened to it while on a trip to Houston- enjoyed every minute! Any additional comments? I can't get enough of Mary Cheatham's books. Looking forward to the next one! Manuela Blayne This coming of age novel depicts a realistic, earthy view of rural Mississippi life in the past. Vivid descriptions help the characters come alive as they face challenges of the times. I look forward to reading and/or listening to other books by this author. Wow!!! This extremely well-written story is a must read for anyone who enjoyed the Dream Bucket by Mary Cheatham. The author shows great depth by being able to write this sequel but maintain its readability as a stand alone book. The story encompasses the social injustice of the times as well as a broad array of emotions. Compassion, sorrow, serenity and love are central to the story. I am eager to see what the author has in store for us next following Manuela Blayne. I am thirsty for what develops in the lives of Trudy and Will.

This is the defining moment of his generation and he wants his chance to achieve glory. His loyal dog Sam won't be parted from him. Though he thinks human warfare is madness, he becomes the mascot for the Georgia regiment.

And who will achieve glory in this Civil War tale? This story is written can be enjoyed by pre-teens and adults alike. Journey to Glory has clean language but some violence as it takes place during a war. Members Reviews: A Boy And His Dog, Not Quite...A Dog With His Boy Journey to Glory At first glance I thought this would be a book about Ethan Meyer and his journey to the Civil War. However, most of the book is from the perspective of Sam, a dog with clever observations, who accompanied Ethan in his "human warfare [is] madness." This is excellent for any teen or preteen (8 years and older.) It is real to life without being gory or off putting. Haley Whitehall and John Lowe are a perfect writer and performance duo. Well done! *I reviewed this, free to me book, without bias. If you found this review helpful, would you take a moment and select "YES" below? Feel free to follow me on audible.com.

Title: Stone and Silt Author: Harvey Chute Narrator: Kathryn Merry Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-14 Publisher: Red Adept Publishing, LLC Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: A ruthless murder and a stolen shipment of gold At school, 16-year-old Nikaia Wales endures the taunts of bullies who call her a "half-breed". At home, she worries about how her family will react if she reveals her growing feelings for the quiet boy next door. Those are soon the least of her troubles. Nikaia discovers a hidden cache of gold, and when police find a corpse nearby, her father becomes a suspect. Worse, Elias Doyle is circling, hungry to avenge his brother's death. Nikaia desperately searches for clues to save her father. In her quest to find the killer, she learns about the power of family, friendship, and young love. Members Reviews: A wonderful Historical Fiction novel written from the heart. I was really excited to read this book upon its release from a debut author, and I must say, it was an amazing read that I couldn't put down. The story starts out slow-paced up until chapter 7, as much of it is backstory and engrossing the reader of the day-to-day life of Nikaia and her family, as well as the lives of other people in the town of Fort Yale, B.C. where much of the story takes place. Not much really going on pacing-wise, but the author does a great job in going into details about what life was like for people of various races and creeds during the 1860s Gold Rush era. After chapter 8, however, the story's pacing immediately quickens and things begin to fall in place. Nikaia, a 16 year-old girl, is on a mission to save her family, and attempt to clear her father's name from a serious crime. She ends up finding help in some unlikeliest of places as a result. The story becomes an instant page-turner with action, mystery, some heart-wrenching moments, and even a bit of love. My only complaint about the story was Nikaia's younger sister, Klima. It was difficult to determine her age because sometimes she acts older like a teen (such as handling a boat by herself), and most times she acts like a small child (such as asking a bunch of trivial questions to adults). Whereas Nikaia maintained the same maturity level as a 16 year-old throughout the book. 'Stone & Silt' reads a lot like a cozy mystery, and the author does a great job in dropping a few hints here and there which builds up for the end as you try to guess 'whodunit'. The author presents some great imagery of the Fraser Canyon during the Gold Rush years as Nikaia's family travels to and from Fort Yale to Lytton. We also learn a lot about the First Nations people (or 'Native Indians' as the author refers in the book) and their rich customs. 'Stone & Silt' is a story for all ages that also leaves behind a great message of the importance and value of family. This story was written from the author's heart, and it shows. Unforgettable! Stone and Silt is the kind of book I didn't want to stop reading, and one which I missed once through reading. Mr. Chute obviously did thorough research of the history of the place and time. His craft of storytelling left me anxious to continue reading, always wondering where the journey of the characters would lead. Stone and Silt is a book suitable for any audience. It was an unforgettable story, told with a beautiful voice. M. C. Llaurador A First Rate Page Turner for Young Adults! Well constructed story line and characters.

Title: Remembering the Titanic Subtitle: A Novel Author: Diane Hoh Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 02-12-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: A year after the sinking of the Titanic, four teens try to cope with memories of that horrific night.... Its April 1913, and survivors of the RMS Titanic have gathered to remember those who didnt make it onto the lifeboats. Debutante Elizabeth Farr, who had been in first class, lost her father. Steerage passenger Katie Hanrahan nearly lost her life. Still, neither of them wants to be at the remembrance service. All they really want to do is forget. A year after that awful night, Elizabeth still feels the chill of the frigid arctic air, and Katie cant sleep because of nightmares of being trapped belowdecks, waiting for death. They want it to go away, but Titanic will never leave them. On their voyage one year ago, Elizabeth met a struggling artist named Max, and Katie fell for a boy from her hometown whose brother perished in the disaster. As the four of them strive to make new lives in New York, they struggle to move beyond the night that changed them all forever. Members Reviews: I read the first part (The Long Night) and enjoyed it also I'm really enjoying this book. I read the first part (The Long Night) and enjoyed it also. The main character reminds me of Rose from the movie but not a bad thing. Also nice to hear from 3rd class pov. Good This is the sequel to Titanic: The Long Night. It's a continuation of the character's lives after the sinking. It does pretty well but like most sequels it's just good but not great. Amazing tale of love, hope, and revival. I absolutely loved it I remember reading this book a long time ago, but because itâs been so long it was like reading it anew. Sometimes you forget things and it makes it feel like the first time you have read the book. It was so good this time. It was, in my opinion, even better than the last time I read it. Elizabeth, Max, Katie, and Paddy all survived the sinking of the Titanic. Now they are back home and each one is trying to move forward with their lives. Elizabeth is dealing with her clingy mother who refuses to let her move on with her life.Â Max is working hard on his painting career. These two are also trying to continue with their relationship against her motherâs wishes. Katie has kicked off her singing career while Paddy is trying to become an author. They each fight daily to keep their romance strong, but thatâs easier said than done. This book was very good, but I did find one inconsistency in the book that bothered me. It talks of Elizabeth Farr and in the same chapter her last name is switched to Fair. Being the fact she is one of the main characters it just did not sit well with me. Other than that, the book was written well. It told an amazing tale of love, hope, and revival. I absolutely loved it....Stormi Titanic Survivors Tale Interesting book about4 survivors from the tragedy of the Titanic. Kathleen,Paddy,Elizabeth and Max This book tells of how they coped for2 yrs.after the sinking. Another great read by author Diane Hoh. Brilliant Sequel This sequal to Titanic: The Long Night hits all the right targets in moving on after a terrible disaster. Since there hasn't been a book on the aftermath of the disaster, this was completely new to me. I was able to read this thanks to my friend who happened to have it. Summary: It's a year after the sinking.

Title: Hider, Seeker, Secret Keeper Author: Elizabeth Kiem Narrator: Andi Arndt Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Lana travels to New York City on tour dancing with the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet in this thrilling followup to Dancer, Daughter, Traitor, Spy. Lana Dukovskaya has spent her life in her mother Marina's shadow, and nowhere more so than at Russia's world-famous Bolshoi, where Marina danced years ago. But when Daniela, Lana's friend and chief rival, is brutally attacked on the eve of a New York tour, Lana is given her coveted solo - an unlikely stroke of luck that makes Lana the chief suspect in the attack. Once in New York, Lana meets Georgi Levshik, a powerful Russian émigré who claims to know the truth about Marina's past. She's torn between her distrust of Levshik's offered patronage and her need for answers. But when another young dancer is struck down on the day of her debut, Lana becomes the prime suspect in not one but two attacks. On the run and still in the dark, Lana puts her trust in Levshik's alluring young bodyguard, Roma. Together they must uncover the truth about a Bolshoi blood feud involving three generations of Dukovskaya dancers. Members Reviews: Spotlight on the Bolshoi Russian political intrigue fascinates me â revolution and control shots among the onion domes and fountains of Moscow â count me in. Ballet â contrived elegance concealing groomed athletes sweating like horses - tell me more. Both are killing games where infinite sacrifices allow a few divas and oligarchs to live like czars, perhaps portending our American future. When the young artistic director of the Bolshoi was attacked in 2013, I was riveted â is there really a world where people want to disfigure each other over art? Are there really people so passionate about the timeless things - art, beauty, truth - that they resort to physical violence over the artistic direction of a ballet company? Elizabeth Keimâs second novel inhabits the world of Putinâs Russian and its diaspora and takes place 18 years after Dancer, Daughter, Traitor, Spy, continuing and embroidering those events, augering a compelling series. Sheâs a master of the turn of phrase and like LeCarre, steers us with the internal dialogue of a stressed fugitive. She collects moments and strings her prose with orange, glinting sunbeams in New York and the purple lights of her beloved Moscow at night. But most of all, she captures the freedom and atavistic expression of dance. Our heroine Lana Viktorovna Dukovskaya is a great dancer â wild, confident, innovative - who becomes her best self in moments of prose where the dance and the words swirl together in an accelerating passion of rhythm, movement and energy. I still remember Maryaâs uninhibited dancing in her Brighton Beach room from the first book, the new book gives us an unobserved rehearsal on a nighttime Bolshoi stage and a solo debut, dancing for her life: A single downbeat propels me onstage, my body in forward motion and my head turned back, still watching for my pursuer. I take slow, halting steps to the center of the stage â no one will breathe, I am saying â no one will breathe easy. The strings in the orchestra pit flutter like an elevated pulse, and I bounce uneasily on their vibration. The horns and the drums shout threats and I retract my body and soul. I gather all the tension with grasping arms, and then with a single leap, I take possession of the stage.

John Diamond Audiobook by Leon Garfield

Title: John Diamond Author: Leon Garfield Narrator: Ron Keith Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: The adventure of 12-year-old William Jones lifetime begins when he hears his fathers footsteps, pacing back and forth late at night across the floor of the bedroom beneath his own - even though his father is dead. To stop the restless pacing of his fathers ghost, William goes to London to find John Diamond, the son of the man his father cheated two decades earlier. In a strange, shadowy world of thieves, swindlers, and cutthroats, William tries to make amends for the sins of his father - before someone with a 20-year-old grudge kills him! Members Reviews: Journey into Dicken's London. Leon Garfield takes his readers into the world of Dicken's England. The journey is exciting, humorous, frightening and thought-provoking. In short, it is extremely well written. From the first sentence, 'I ought to begin with the footsteps,' I was hooked. The promise of drama is there from the start and Leon Garfield delivers in spades. Characters from the seamy side of life, thieves, cut-throats and the flotsam of the city's poor who exist from minute to minute contrast with the well-to-do who are not always what they should be. The story is very believable and moves at a brisk pace to deliver a climax that is unexpected and shocking. And don't think this book is just for children. It's one of my prized possessions. If you like it, try 'Smith'. Leon Garfield's characters capture your heart. Highly recommended. This book is full of the suspense and of the poignant, masterfully depicted scenes and vivid characters, typical of this writer. Highly recommended. Captivating historical adventure The ominous and suspenseful atmosphere of this historical adventure story (alternately titled Footsteps) is leavened by humor. William Smith is kept awake every night by the sound of his fatherâs footsteps from the room below. One night the footsteps stop: he learns his fatherâs dark secret and sets off to London in search of the elusive John Diamond. There he encounters odd and sometimes frightening characters. Garfield is a captivating storyteller with a gift for humor. I recommend all of his historical adventures (the reason for four stars instead of five is that some of his other books are even better). If you like his works, try Joan Aiken Hodgeâs The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. John Diamond is 100% carrot This is a exciting tail of a young boy named Willium hows father had told him a deep and dark secrate on his death bed. Willium runs away from home to set his fathers wrongs write. Once again a griping tail by Leon Garfeild. You will not be abel to put it down.

Come August, Come Freedom Audiobook by Gigi Amateau

Title: Come August, Come Freedom Subtitle: The Bellows, The Gallows, and The Black General Gabriel Author: Gigi Amateau Narrator: J. D. Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-11-12 Publisher: Candlewick on Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Born a slave in 1776, Gabriel grows up capable and literate only to be taken from his mother and sent to the capital city as a blacksmiths apprentice. There in the forge, a meeting point for many travelers and news bearers, his work awakens him to the sparks of resistance that are igniting into rebellion around the globe. When he is unable to both defend the love of his life and earn the money to buy her freedom, and with the news of Toussaints successful rebellion against Haitis slave masters ringing in his ears, Gabriel makes a decision: freedom for just his own family would not be enough. Using the forge to turn pitchforks into swords and his eloquence to turn dreams into rallying cries, Gabriel plots a rebellion involving thousands of slaves, free blacks, poor whites, and Native Americans. To those excluded from the promise of the Revolution, Gabriel intends to bring liberty. Interwoven with authentic original documents, this poignant, illuminating novel about a major figure in African-American history gives a personal face to a remarkable moment in our past that is little known but should be long remembered. Members Reviews: Enlightening story of true events In this book for younger readers (12 and up), Gigi Amateau tells the beautiful story of a failed slave rebellion in 1800. The story is largely imagined, and yet it is clearly based on meticulous research, and it sheds light on a historical event with which I was not familiar. I am not in the habit of reading books aimed at younger readers. This one I read, though, because I know Gigi and because the book is a finalist for the Library of Virginia's People's Choice Award. Told mostly from the point of view of Gabriel, the leader of the failed rebellion, the story depicts his childhood on a Virginia plantation. It is often the story of betrayal-at the hands of his white playmate who becomes his "master" and his compatriots in the rebellion. But it's also a love story. For me, primarily, it was a history lesson. I would definitely recommend this book for young readers. Great read! I read this book with my middle-schooler for a historical fiction book report. We really enjoyed the story and the accurate historical story line. We live in central Virginia where the story takes place which added to our reading experience. Five Stars Truly enjoyed it. Come August come Freedom It was a good story from the point of view of the slaves. It was well researched and fiction made believable. Five Stars As described, prompt shipping, thanks!

Kraków, 1939, is no place to grow up. There are a million marching soldiers and a thousand barking dogs. And Anna Lania is just seven years old when the Germans take her father and suddenly, shes alone. Then she meets the Swallow Man. He is a mystery, strange and tall. And, like Anna's missing father, he has a gift for languages: Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, even Bird. When he summons a bright, beautiful swallow down to his hand to stop her from crying, Anna is entranced. Over the course of their travels together, Anna and the Swallow Man will dodge bombs, tame soldiers, and even, despite their better judgement, make a friend. But in a world gone mad, everything can prove dangerous.... Members Reviews: Covers many areas of growth into adulthood Would you listen to Anna and the Swallow Man again? Why? Yes, you gain new and deeper perspectives with each read. What was one of the most memorable moments of Anna and the Swallow Man? The ending works out well, as it leaves the reader in the same circumstances as the main character. Nuanced literary novel, don't let the YA tag deter This is a literary novel, beautifully written and narrated and well worth a listen even if you are far removed from the labelled 'Young Adult' audience. C.S. Lewis wrote, 'No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally and often far more worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond. And, of that, Anna and the Swallow Man is a perfect example; I expect most adult readers will take more away, read more into the subtlety of this story and its characters, than most of the YA genre's intended age group. If the summary and sample at all grab you, I'd recommend the listen. I know it'll be on my re-read/re-listen list in the future. Beautifully read by allun corduner This is a heart warming, gut wrenching, thought provoking book. It deserves many accolades. If you read only one book about WW 2, make sure it is this one.

The Mabinogion is a collection of 11 stories from medieval Welsh manuscripts dating from around 1060 to 1200 --- one of them being the story of the Longbow Girl. The well-to-do de Courcys and the down-on-their-luck Owens have remained tense neighbors for many generations. The protagonist Merry Owen strives to find a way to save her familyâs farm from being taken by the de Courcys in both the past and present. When she finds the Mabinogion, she realizes it could save them. If she is lucky, situations in both the past and present can be resolved to benefit the Owen family. However, Merry soon discovers the book holds answers to many mysteriesâ. Author Linda Davies employs an interesting parallel structure in this novel with the past and present conflicts. In the present day, the Owen family struggles to pay its debt to keep the farm that has been their home for many generations. Likewise, in the past, the Owen family must fend for themselves farming and hunting when the father of the family is imprisoned. Merry sees to both conflicts, with the help of her best friend James de Courcy, though in different ways. In the past, she competes at a royal tournament to try to win her ancestorâs freedom and lands, despite being female. In the present, she tries to sell the Mabinogion book she found in the woods on the Owen land to save the farm. The weakness in this novel is character development. The novel doesnât have the feel of a coming-of-age story. Merry Owen doesnât really change or grow during the course of the story. Even though Merryâs vision is compromised as she has only one eye, there is no emphasis of her overcoming challenges because of it, like an archery contest for example. I would suggest this book for readers between the ages of 10-12. There is no foul language or romance. The reading level is not difficult, and the movements between the past and present create no difficulty to follow. The time travel and female hero will keep pre-teens engaged. Reviewed by Cat S., Teen Board Member Longbow Girl Some books defy genres. Longbow Girl is one of them. It is well-researched historical fiction and also a meticulously crafted, time travel novel. No easy feat, but one that Linda Davies pulls off with aplomb.

Mark Twain & the River of Timeless Temptation Audiobook by Jon Kerr

Title: Mark Twain & the River of Timeless Temptation Author: Jon Kerr Narrator: Jon Kerr Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Old Man River Press Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Did Sammy Clemens sell his soul for fame and fortune? In 1866, a young Mark Twain went on his first international trip, crossing Central America through Nicaragua. His travelogues included a mysterious companion named Mr. Brown. But what Clemens didn't describe was Brown's satanic purpose in taking them on a journey back in time, meeting other travelers on the Rio San Juan, including Cornelius Vanderbilt, future Lord Nelson, pirate Henry Morgan, and Christopher Columbus. Will Sammy trade his soul for fame and fortune? Or will he rewrite history forever? Members Reviews: Fun, quirky read! âï historical fiction, time travel & a hint of mystery. Fun read. I love historical fiction. This book plays with the idea that Samuel Clemens' may have struck a deal with the devil for his success, fame, remarkable life and timeless relevance. This inventive, quirky (in the best ways), compact book takes the reader on an Amazon-like river journey based on a little known part of Clemens' actual life, including his first international trip. It takes place on Nicaragua's intriguing, but also little known, Río San Juan. The river essentially becomes a main character offering up story layered upon story. Traveling through time, Mark Twain crosses paths with an amazing array of historically significant characters who play a role in what may have been a soul sucking dance. In an unusual, off-beat style Kerr interweaves Twain's/Clemens' real words with the fictional Sammy's. While he identifies the source of each usage, it may confuse some readers. The ending leaves us hanging a bit, but hopefully that means the writer will continue to play with and further develop his curious idea. Given Mark Twain's globetrotting, there's plenty more actual history and imaginative storytelling to be done. Where to next for Mark Twain and his mysterious traveling companion, Mr. Brown?!? I wish I'd have learned history this way! Time traveling down the river with Mark Twain? Well, it isnât the Mississippi, but the Rio San Juan and Lake Nicaragua, and the future-great-author isnât alone on this voyage. He has a traveling companion who goes by the name of âMr. Brownâ, who, for his own nefarious reasons, gives Twain a lesson in real history. Who knew that so many famous people, from different periods of time, would show up on this small and oft-forgotten part of the world? After reading Jon Kerrâs âMark Twain and the River of Timeless Temptationâ, youâll may never look at history in quite the same way again. Kerr blends his deep understanding of this region with a wonderfully clever and humorous writing style that moves this book along like a soft tropical breeze down the Rio San Juan. But it ainât all fun and games. Watch out for those sharks, some human, some not. * I really liked this book. Mr Kerr 's knowledge and clear affection for Twain are put expertly to the service of his story; and his choice of a wry, sarcastic voice for his narrator is a wise one. As another reviewer points out, this book fairly cries out for a sequel. I sure hope Mr Kerr obliges. You will love this book Jon Kerr is a truly talented writer. You will love this book! The devil made me do it The devil made me do it, says Mr. Brown, the narrator of this nicely conceived and well-written novel. The devil in this case is his uncle, Lucifer. Mr.

Alan Lewis Narrator: John Dunleavy Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: D. Alan Lewis Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Join us tonight for the latest in our series of top-rated documentaries that put the significant moments of human history to test like no other. War, religion, assassinations, we cover it all on... History Now! On tonight's broadcast, award-winning chrono-journalist Jace Vern travels to one of the most turbulent periods in modern history to call into question a key moment in human understanding of worlds beyond the Old Blue And Green - the Apollo 11 mission changed the world forever, but did everything happen as the Man recorded it? Witness the drama unfold as we watch events occurring from every angle. Listen in to the immortal words spoken on the lunar surface, as well as the conversations on NASA's private radio channels. Walk in Neil Armstrong's footsteps as he boldly went where no man had gone before... Only on History Now! Members Reviews: Good Time Travel Mockumentary History NOW!: Apollo 11 Author: D. Alan Lewis Narrated by: John Dunleavy Historical documentaries are a favorite of mine. History Now! is a nice twist on them. How do the documentarians in this story know what really happened? A trusted few are granted access to time âships. These Chrono-journalists carefully record and document the events they witness. At least the ones they witness in that particular time stream, for slightest change could send ripples through time changing the very event witnessed. This story tells the tale of mankindâs first landing on the moon. Did you ever wonder what may have sparked the tale of aliens on the moon? Jace Vern, Chrono-journalist, might be have an answer. Most consequences can be predicted but as Jace says, âItâs always something you donât think about that bites you in the ass.â Or in this case, it bites us all. As we learn in the end, even as we try to remember our past and learn from it, the past always has a way of returning. For those who chronicle history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it. We can only be glad the DaVinci accords of 2218 are in effect preventing everyone from re-writing history in their image. John Dunleavy provides the perfect voice for a documentary. His enunciations are clear, though a little gravelly, which for the nature of this story provided a bit of gravitas. You can clearly distinguish which character is speaking. There were no background noises to distract from the story. DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for writing a review. I was not obligated to give a positive review, and all thoughts are my own.

Blood Road Audiobook by Amanda McCrina

Title: Blood Road Author: Amanda McCrina Narrator: Kevin Stillwell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Nineteen-year-old Torien Risto has seen dissidents dealt with before. He knows the young local girl who just knifed him will hang for assaulting an Imperial officer, unless he can stop it. Someone inside the provincial government is kidnapping Imperial citizens and selling them across the desert to the salt mines, silencing anyone who tries to intervene. The girl's brother is one of those who has been taken. Rejected by the corrupt courts, she's waging a personal war against the Empire. Determined to save her life, Torien sets out in search of answers on the Salt Road, the ancient trade route running deep into the heart of a desert - territory claimed by the hostile Mayaso tribe. Now, Torien is no longer sure where his own loyalty lies, or how far he will go to break the cycle of tyranny, political bullying, and social injustice in an empire that seals its borders in blood. Members Reviews: Torien is a new hero to watch out for. A new champion! This is the story of Commander Torien Berio Risto. The second son of Lord Risto of Cesin. An unfortunate event led him to make a blood oath to a girl named Lida. In order to perform his promise, his journey brought him to the Salt Road or more popularly known as the Blood Road. Named so because of the rampant killings and blood shed on this road. Torien Risto wants to get to the bottom of the corruption in the government involving kidnapping of Imperial citizens. His search will lead him to a very deep hole with very influential and filthy rich individuals involved. Wow! This is like one man versus a world of corrupt government officials. Torien's oath opened up a canned of worms with people bent on killing anyone who will expose their dirty deeds. The rich and the government holds all the power. The high and mighty. While the ordinary citizens are eating scraps. Not exactly far from the real world--might be the same scenario in any third world country. Torien's crusade brought on by an oath to a poor girl lead him to deadly situations and ambush. Along the way, he finds good souls who share the same aspiration as his and they try to topple the vicious and corrupt system. In the end of this story, their efforts seem to have paid off but they are not sure if the problem has really ended. It's obvious that new adventures and deadly situations are going to be waiting for Torien. One of the most memorable characters in this story is Torien's adjutant--Lt. Senna. He is also from a rich family but was disowned by his father. I like his and Torien's relationship. Honest and loyal. Lt. Senna can be blunt with Torien about anything. He can speak his mind and truth without fear. These two have each other's back and would lay down each other's life for one another. I just hope that the author will not kill Senna's character in the next stories. I have observed that throughout the story, Torien kept passing out. He lost consciousness a lot of times. More than I could count. Maybe it's due to the fact that Torien has it in his personality to try to take on the world alone. He is often blind-sided though he also often escapes those very tight situations with help from unlikely and unexpected sources. The propensity for him, more often than not, ending up unconscious bothered me. It seems like a flaw to his very admirable and strong character. I am not sure if this flaw will eventually lead him to his end or will continue to save his butt.

Title: Revolt of the Wildlife Author: Idson Charles Narrator: Bryant Sullivan Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 02-04-15 Publisher: Nibs Books Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Africa has always been the habitat of all the wild animals that spark humans' attention and curiosity. Hunters from around the world would go to Africa to capture many of these wild animals and utilize them for many purposes. Two of the main reasons for exploiting these wild creatures are for the sole purpose of entertainment and profit. Jack Anderson has always been intrigued by the fierce nature of the lions. When he was a young boy, he would watch the Wildlife Channel of Africa and fantasize about a world where all wild animals could be taught human traits and co-exist with mankind. He believed that all animals share emotions similar to ours-humans. Well, Jack's fantasy was no longer a fantasy when he moved to Africa, where he encountered the thrill of life. Fasten your seatbelts, what you are about to discover will change your perception of the wildlife-forever! Members Reviews: WOW! This book, should be the the way all humans would think of wild animals and to protect their habitat not destroy what they (the wild animals) call home. Truly an excellent book! In this witty, entertaining and beautifully written story, the author creates an awareness to young and mature audiences alike of the cruel practices involved in wild animal hunting. Idson Charles also sends a strong message about the importance of following our dreams, duty, empathy, loyalty to friends and kindness. Wilfredo & Marta Garcia

Your Eyes in Stars Audiobook by M. E. Kerr

Kerr Narrator: Amy McFadden Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Set during the Depression, this haunting historical novel by M. E. Kerr follows two teenage girls - one German, the other American - whose friendship plays out against the quickly shifting political world stage. Jessie Myrer is the daughter of the prison warden in Cayuta County, where there are few foreigners and even fewer Jews. Jessie's provincial views change when she meets her new across-the-street neighbor. At 15, sophisticated, German-born Elisa Stadler is a year older than Jessie. The girls would seem to have little in common, yet they soon become the best of friends. Then one night, they hear the music of the prison band's spellbinding solo bugler. Convicted murderer and gifted musician Slater Carr is the newest arrival at Cayuta Prison. Jessie and Elisa become obsessed with Slater, who to Jessie is like a local John Dillinger - and who was an unwitting part of a botched robbery in which two people were killed. When a daring escape culminates in murder, Elisa's family moves back to Germany, where Hitler is rising to power. Years later, Jessie makes a shocking discovery about her long-lost friend. Your Eyes in Stars is a stunning novel about friendship, prejudice, assimilation, and the end of innocence. Members Reviews: Confusing at times I had a hard time choosing between 2 and 3 stars for this book so I'm giving it a 2.5. The first part of Your Eyes in Stars wasn't bad. The characters were interesting, but I just didn't feel that wow factor. There were times when I was a little confused by the writing. I'm not really sure what Slater Carr had to do with the book. He could have been left out of the book completely and I don't think it would have hurt the story. I kind of felt like his part should have gone somewhere at least, but it just ends. To be honest, I probably would have given this a 2 star rating if not for part two. I wish the whole book would have been written in the form of letters. I couldn't put it down once I started reading that part. The ending left me feeling sad, but I'm glad I found out what eventually happened to Jess and Elisa. A Wartime Novel Tests the Limits of Friendship It is 1934, and fourteen-year-old Jessica Myrer lives next door to the prison. That might bother most people, but Jessie has been living next to prisons her entire life. Her father, as the warden, oftentimes assigns actual convicts to do supervised yard work just outside Jessie's window. Jessie feels comfortable around them and even admires them, collecting wanted posters of famous criminals like John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde, and begging her father for the inside story. She is especially interested in the newest arrival, Slater Carr, a young and talented musician incarcerated on a life sentence for involvement in murder. Jessie doesn't have many friends and pretends not to care, maybe to ward off the hurt she feels at her classmates' rejections and her own mother's coolness and criticism toward her. But that begins to change when the new neighbor drops in to say hello. Elisa hails from Germany, and her family moved to town for her father's teaching job. Jessie first thinks of Elisa as exotic, refined and arrogant. But she soon learns that Elisa is just a bit shy, not used to making friends for having moved a lot. The two become fast and true friends. Through her friendship with Elisa, Jessie begins to open herself up, expand her interests, and really care about others.

Munich, 1931. Gretchen Muller has been cherished and protected by Adolf Hitler ever since her father, a senior Nazi officer, sacrificed himself to save the life of the Führer. And now Germany has the chance to be great once more, under the command of her 'Uncle Dolf'. But secrets cannot be silenced forever. When Gretchen meets a young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who claims that her father was actually murdered, she becomes swept up in a desperate and dangerous search for the truth. With the full might of the ever-powerful Nazi party on her tail, and the motives of her dearest friends now in question, Gretchen must risk everything to determine her own allegiances - even if her choices could get her and Daniel killed. Critic Reviews: 'It's terrifying and incredible to think how much of this story is true" (Elizabeth Wein, author of Code Name Verity) Members Reviews: I really loved this book and the cover really caught my eye I really loved this book and the cover really caught my eye... it looked dark and haunting and when I read the description of the book, I was immediately hooked. And the story definitely didn't disappoint me...I fell in love with the main characters and could feel their pain as they struggled with their forbidden romance. The only reason why I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I did feel that some moments needed a little more of a punch line... the author did an amazing job building up the story... but there were some moments when I felt the story after being built up, fell flat. Saying that though I truly loved this book and I think having the main character be close to Hitler was a great touch! I would definitely recommend this book to my friends... which I actually already have! Wonderful! 4.5 stars! Wow! I'm impressed that this is the authors debut novel. The amount of work and research she put into this payed off. The writing is really good as well. If you read the Authors Note at the end the you'll see how great of a job she did of weaving fictional characters in with real events and characters. This is definitely an amazing historical fiction read! At the beginning I was very unsure of how I would end up liking it, but by the end I was glad I had decided to read this. The beginning is slightly slower, but interesting enough to want to keep reading. By the end I was racing to find out what happened. Occasionally it would seem like the author was info-dumping, but it didn't happen very often so it's not enough to make me dislike the book. A great aspect was the romance. It wasn't insta love which is a plus! I thought it was very well developed and happened over a believable amount of time. Overall: This is a strong debut with very good writing. I can't wait for the sequel! I strongly recommend if you're a fan of historical fiction. I LOVED THIS BOOK I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I couldn't put it down and am so scared to read the next one because I don't want to ruin the ending I have pictured in my head.

And seventeen-year-old May has just awoken to...what? A ghost girl. A girl with Mays face, hair, and complexion. A ghostly twin named Cristofana. And this twin wants a favor of May: Come to Old Florence; come to the year 1348. In modern-day Florence for the summer, May is soon seduced into saying yes. And when she encounters a brooding medieval painter, her curiosity about the past explodes into desire. But Old Florence is falling apart: the Black Death is sweeping the city, and Cristofana has vowed to save herself by escaping into the future. May is in a fight for her life.The only problem is that Cristofana is just as determined to steal it. Members Reviews: Meh....if you must read it, BORROW it from your library rather than buying it This book got a very nice review in my local newspaper with a shout-out to the author, a local, so I was interested in reading it. I borrowed it from my local library, and wasn't impressed with the writing or with the storyline. I thought it had great potential, but writing was dull and didn't pull me in, and the story and characters were flat. There are a number of authors who do fantastic jobs with time travel, and even with time travel novels for young adults (my library classified this book as YA--young adult, but many YA books are perfectly fine for adults too). Noyes even referenced another time travel book in this book, and having read both, I'll take the former. Too bad Noyes wasn't more inspired by the Moberly-Jourdain book "An Adventure". While "An Adventure" might be a harder read for the most modern readers, I found it well-written and an engaging story. What others might find challenging is the slightly arcane language used by authors, two Oxford dons whose book was published in the early 20th century. It is a vast improvement over Noyes' effort (although the apples-to-oranges, non-fiction-to-fiction comparison is tough). If you're looking for time travel books, try Nancy Bond's "Another Shore", which is also YA but it is much better written with better drawn characters and storyline. For non-YA time travel, try the Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain "An Adventure" (referenced above)--although if you decide to borrow before buying, you might have to go to an academic (college or university library, and one with a good collection at that) library rather than a public library unless you live in a college town. Other superior time travel books: Jan de Hartog's "The Centurion" and Marcy Heidish's "The Torching". All of these (Bond, de Hartog, Heidish, and Moberly-Jourdain) are all excellent and put Noyes' effort to shame. They're all much better written, with better developed stories and characters. Bond's, de Hartog's, and Heidish's novels all date back to the 1980's while Moberly's-Jourdain's date back to 1911 but written about their personal experiences going back a decade earlier. It is too bad--time travel books can be most entertaining, and Noyes' "Plague in the Mirror" is a disappointment.

The Children of Willesden Lane Audiobook by Mona Golabek

Title: The Children of Willesden Lane Author: Mona Golabek Narrator: Katherine Manners Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-17 Publisher: Franklin Watts Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler's armies advanced on prewar Vienna, Lisa's parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport, they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. As she yearned to be reunited with her family while she lived in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa's music became a beacon of hope. A memoir of courage, survival and the power of music to uplift the human spirit, this compelling tribute to one special young woman and the lives she touched will educate and inspire. Based on the true story of 14-year-old girl Lisa Jura, who had to flee her home in Vienna and rebuild her life in London, the story brings home the reality of the Holocaust. Members Reviews: Interesting and educational I didn't know what to expect from this memoir-style book but ended up liking it very much. The real-life story of a young girl's escape from Nazi-occupied Vienna to the completely different world of London is compelling and touching. It's also informative about what life was like living in greater London during the heavy bombing. Kudos to the residents who "stayed calm and carried on." Such conditions are difficult to imagine. Lisa's determination is inspiring as she struggles to keep a promise made to her mother to continue her music studies. The lives of her closest friends in the refugee orphanage are also hinted at. They all served as a substitute family in place of the ones they left behind. I give it four stars instead of five only because the story is told second-hand. The author, Maya Golabek, is Lisa's daughter. She does a fine job of evoking the time and place and covering the major points of her mother's life. Still, it's always preferable to get such a story firsthand. But overall, this was an excellent book. Highly recommended Amazing, heart-warming life story. I cried. Highly recommended for music lovers, biography lovers, history buffs, and people in general. It is perhaps not obvious from the title, but this is a Holocaust story that never enters a camp. It is about not knowing and caring so much it hurts. Lisa Jura, one of the Children, is sent to London on the Kindertransport soon after Kristallnacht. Her parents are taken by the Holocaust, but she does not know this for sure until months, maybe years, after the war is over. This book provided a new and unexpected point-of-view plus the wonderful details of a tale of growing up in wartime poverty that Lisa does not allow to define her. A Tale Of Inspiration and Survival Lisa Jura is a talented 14 year old living in Vienna when Hitler comes to power and invaded Austria. Her father is a simple tailor and the family lived in a working class ghetto of Vienna. They are not rich. Lisa is a talented and promising pianist who studies piano with a prominent teacher in this city of music. It is Lisa's dream to play a concert in the much loved Vienna State Opera House. The first consequence of the Nuremberg laws which discriminated harshly against the Jews was that her much loved Music professor, Dr. Isseles could no longer teach her piano. Non-Jews could no longer teach Jewish students. It was with great regret that professor Isseles has to dismiss his promising student, Lisa. Lisa returns home downtrodden.

Although she wed a kind and respectful individual, something remained absent from their relationship. Before she could fully understand her growing despondency and restless emotions, England declared war on Germany. Like a jigsaw puzzle turned upside down, the pieces of Grace's life scatter in different directions. When her husband leaves for France to fight for his king and country, Grace is left behind to face years of loneliness, temptation, and loss. After the declaration of peace, the picture puzzle of her life is reassembled, but paints a vastly different scene than it did before.

Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am a Jew. And as far as they are concerned, that is all that matters. This is my story. Members Reviews: Harrowing but compelling The fictional account of the murder of the Jews in Riga, Latvia by the Nazis and their Latvian collaborators from 1941-4. Historical detail (but with superfluous and highly improbable teenage love story). Narrator irritating at times as does not know Yiddish or Hebrew. Why read it? Because it is a rare accesable account of this terrible time and place. It is worth putting up with the recording's drawbacks in order to hear he story.

Autor:: Willi Fährmann Erzähler: Tim Bergmann Format: Abridged Spieldauer: 5 hrs and 14 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07-19-07 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Lukas' Vater verschwindet spurlos und hinterlässt seiner Familie einen Berg Schulden. Zusammen mit seinem Großvater und einer Zimmermannskolonne macht sich der 13-Jährige nun auf die Reise nach Amerika, um dort das fehlende Geld zu verdienen. Schon auf dem Schiff entdeckt Lukas Spuren seines Vaters und beschließt, ihn zu suchen. Kritik Bewertungen: Fährmanns Roman beweist, dass und wie aus Geschichte Geschichten gemacht werden können. Er legt einen Roman vor, der sich wesentlich von anderen dickbäuchig daherkommenden Historien unterscheidet. Behutsam, als entfernte er die Schutzschicht, demaskiert er eine Zeit, die in üblichen Erzählungen so oft als die "gute, alte" dargestellt wird. Er kommt ohne namhafte Helden aus, berichtet von den Namenlosen, auf deren Rücken Geschichte ausgetragen wurde und wird. --Die Zeit

Night Runner Audiobook by Tim Bowler

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/274/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Night Runner Author: Tim Bowler Narrator: Daniel Coonan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-15 Publisher: Jammer Audio Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Zinny's life is falling apart. Shadowy figures are following him. His parents are keeping secrets but he can't figure out why. Then his mum ends up in hospital, his dad disappears, and Zinny has to do whatever he can to save his family. Even if it means helping the very men he's been running from... As the clock ticks, Zinny knows it's only a matter of time before someone ends up dead - and it could be him. Critic Reviews: "one of the truly individual voices in British teenage fiction" (The Independent) "the master of the psychological thriller" (The Sunday telegraph) Members Reviews: Mum snapping at me like she never used to" ''Night Runner" takes us inside the head of a confused teenager, Zinny, who is beset by troubles - both in his home and at school. In the opening paragraph of Tim Bowler's taut new novel, Zinny complains of his father's "whipping off his belt"; " ...Mum snapping at me like she never used to"; being bullied at school and the family being harassed by a predatory landlord, and concludes, "I've had it up to here". The rest of the novel is a nightmarish look into the very real demons which bedevil Zinny throughout his angst-ridden childhood. Zinny is continuously at breaking point throughout the novel, and one is reminded of the iconic image from Edvard Munch's dark Expressionist dream like painting, "The Scream". I can see Zinny frozen in this image, even as he attempts to run away from his traumas. The tension grips like a vice, throughout, but Bowler also brings many sensitive touches to his portrayal of a flawed and dysfunctional - yet loving - family. Zinny keeps a book of nature photos - which he later gives to his injured mother in hospital - and thi sbook acts as a symbol for his yearnings for a world full of possibilities, outside the cramped confines of the gangs, shootings and dark shadows of his painful reality. The character of Phaedre, the nurse looking after Zinny's mum, is also beautifully life-affirming, and a welcome shaft of sunlight in an often uncomfortable read.

She seemed to think she was above reproach and did not care what anyone else thought of her. It was her way or the highway. Her smoking, drinking and fast living ended up with Queen Elizabeth at her bedside and having the anguish of watching her child die. The Queen, as a child, wanted to please her parents, and early on was inculcated with a sense of duty, although she, too, had her moments. I may be wrong, but I think the information in the 'diary' can be gleaned from the plethora of books written about the family. However, reading it as a diary was very entertaining and I often felt very sorry for Lilibet as she dealt with Margaret and her attitudes. If I had been the elder sister, Margaret would have been in serious peril. Good and would like More Engaging and readable this little book, which purports to be the secret memoirs of a ten year old Queen Elizabeth is evidence of the author's imagination and passion for her subject. It would be good to see this idea done up completely-full disclaimer, more details and a book that **could** start before the abdication and shows the child's shift in perspective from innocent to queen in the making. I do not think that has been done, and it might be extremely interesting. Very cute and imaginative A fictional account of Queen Elizabeth II's diary from when she was 10 and Uncle David abdicated and she and Margaret had to move to Buckingham Palace. Lots of humorous references to Margaret's missteps as an adult, boys they would like to marry and the corgis. I can't wait to read the second book. A very cute diary! What a delightful story! This story is told from 10 year old Lilibet's Point of View, and Ms. Christou does a fine job of capturing the voice of young Lilibet. I found myself imagining Lilibet at this age and thinking how overwhelmed she must have been, knowing she would eventually grow up to be Queen. I think I enjoyed the antics between Lilibet and Margaret the best. Needed an editor This book had numerous editorial mistakes. Did no one proof read it? Very disconcerting.

Title: Cimarrona Author: Sara Monteagudo Narrator: Kristin Wheatley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-14 Publisher: Sara Monteagudo Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Raw courage... sharp instincts... an innate sense of justice... Using the 19th century timeline as an instrument of magical realism, Chabelis accelerates the listener through the events that lead up to the Spanish-American War in the YA novel, Cimarrona. Trained by the cimarron, the wild men who live in the hills of Cuba, to shoot her prey and lead trails of captive slaves to freedom, 12-year-old Chabelis is sent to a mission for killing one of her clan members. It is at the mission that Chabelis is once again faced with General Valeriano, the soldier who killed her mother right before her eyes. In this action-adventure, Chabelis must decide whether she will escape the fortress walls or will remain there long enough to help the innocent break out of the mission: a military post for the Spanish Infantry disguised as an orphanage. Members Reviews: Very enjoyable...a good read, different. I enjoyed the life of Chabelis. Her determination and hunger for life. She had character of soul and purpose of heart instilled in her by her early life experiences and relationships with the cimmarones. I was taken into the story by the author's well written tale woven of fact, fiction, and folklore. I loved the characters so much that I took a long ... Cimarrona far exceeded my expectations. I loved the characters so much that I took a long time reading the book so I could live with them longer. Great read! Couldn't put it down Although CIMARRONA is intended for the Young Adult audience, I found it to be such a page-turner that I could not put it down. The story, which takes place in 19th Century Cuba, tells of how the young girl Chabelis was rescued by cimmaron Cooley Valdez when the coffee plantation where she lived was raided and her mother was killed. She was taken in his saddlebag to the Palenque Cave where a small band of cimmarones, or freedom fighters, lived while helping slaves escape the plantations. Chabelis, who was taught by Cooley to be a cimarrona, is relatable and easy to visualize. She is gutsy, intelligent, curious, and at times impulsive. The fast-moving plot is multi-themed and covers such topics as friendship, sexuality, relating to authority figures, racism, and personal identity. The author combines fact, fiction, and foklore to tell this coming-of-age tale, which reminded me a bit of the work of Isabel Allende. Chabelis learns many painful and valuable lessons on to way to maturity. The book is a bit "edgy" for very young teens, but has much to offer Young Adult readers who are preparing for the rights and responsibilities of the adult world.

In Darkness Audiobook by Nick Lake

Darcie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: In darkness, I count my blessings like Manman taught me. One: I am alive. Two: there is no two. In the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, a boy is trapped beneath the rubble of a ruined hospital, thirsty, terrified, and alone. Shorty is a child of the slums, a teenage boy who has seen enough violence to last a lifetime, and who has been inexorably drawn into the world of the gangsters who rule Site Solèy; men who dole out money with one hand and death with the other. But Shorty has a secret: a flame of revenge that blazes inside him and a burning wish to find the twin sister he lost seven years ago. And he is marked. Marked in a way that links him to Toussaint lOuverture, the Haitian rebel who led the slave revolt and faced down Napoleon to force the French out of Haiti 200 years ago. As he grows weaker, Shorty relives the journey that took him to the hospital, with a bullet wound in his arm. In his visions and memories he hopes to find the strength to survive - perhaps then Shorty and Toussaint can find a way to be free.... Critic Reviews: A tale of two Haitis - one modern, one historic - deftly intertwine. This double-helix-of-a-story explores the nature of freedom, humanity, survival, and hope. A dark journey well worth taking - engrossing, disturbing, illuminating. (Kirkus Reviews) "Remarkable...Lake's elegant, restrained prose and distinct characters will reward adults and older teenagers able to brave a story with strong language, harrowing scenes of brutality and an almost painful stab of joy at the end. (Wall Street Journal) "Nick Lake weaves Haitis dark past with its painful present into a story that is gripping, moving, and uplifting. This novel dances with extraordinary confidence from one era to another, mixing the contemporary with the historical to create a rich and fascinating dialogue across the centuries. In Darkness is stunningly original and hard-hitting." (William Sutcliffe) Members Reviews: Haiti's hurt Any additional comments? This powerful mix of history past and more recent, of the real world and the world of voodoo, of guilt and of innocence is a disturbing and brilliantly crafted piece of writing. I knew nothing of Haiti, and now throuh this author's wonderful work feel I have been given a priviliged view of people and place and sadly of a world of nightmare that the country is still awakening from. The reading was credible and heartfelt and Benjamin Darcie's range of expression and tone gave a telling authenticity to the first person point of view parts of the story and of the darkness that is the theme on so many levels. This is a deeply serious and disturbing work. I would recommend it highly. It is differerent from anything else I have listened to and has left me with images that I think I will stay with me for a long time.

Title: The Double Shadow Author: Sally Gardner Narrator: Susannah Fielding Format: Abridged Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-11 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Arnold Ruben has created a memory machine, a utopia housed in a picture palace, where the happiest memories replay forever, a haven in which he and his precious daughter can shelter from the war-clouds gathering over 1937 Britain. But on the day of her 17th birthday, Amaryllis leaves Warlock Hall and the world she has known and wakes to find herself in a desolate and disturbing place. Something has gone terribly wrong with her father's plan. Against the tense backdrop of the Second World War, Sally Gardner explores families and what binds them, fathers and daughters, past histories, passions and cruelty, love and devastation in a novel rich in character and beautifully crafted. Members Reviews: Terrific! Sally Gardner is my favorite author. Double Shadow transcends categories of young adult, sci fi, adult, etc. A great read. Should be more easily available in the U.S. Original and amazing Amaryllis is a troubled teenager. She's sixteen years old and has no memory of the first eight years of her life. Her father is strict from afar as he isn't around much and her mother passed away when Amaryllis was a young girl. After a disastrous night Amaryllis is being kicked out of boarding school. Her father decides to hire someone to tutor her instead of sending her away again. Her new teacher is very smart, but Amaryllis has no interest in the lessons. Her father hires Ezra, the son of their cook, to keep her company and to attend the lessons which will be good for his education. Amaryllis will soon be seventeen. It's 1937 and in Britain there are already signs of an inevitable war. There's something else of major importance happening in her father's picture palace as well. When at the night of a fire several people disappear there's a man called Basil who's starting to ask questions. He's been keeping an eye on the memory machine Amaryllis's father has built for many years and is now afraid the idea might fall in the wrong hands. When more people disappear and aren't coming back it's clear that something isn't right, it isn't right at all. The Double Shadow has been published by Orion Children's Books and this is one of those rare gems that can easily become a classic. The writing is amazing, the story is beautiful and the idea behind it is so original. I liked the clever theories about time and the memory machine. When the story begins Ezra and Amaryllis are at the end of their childhood, almost ready to become adults. They form an unusual bond, one that's vital to the story. I loved that part and couldn't wait to see how their connection would develop. This book is fantastic on so many levels and all the characters play their own key part. It's is an excellent example of how fine literature can be. Very enjoyable, but not exceptional Sally Gardner is one of my favorite authors; her previous books I, Coriander, The Red Necklace, and The Silver Blade are all magical. Her writing is eloquent and grips you from the start. Double Shadow was also magical and engaging, however I didn't enjoy it quite as much as her previous books. There were some parts that just seemed awkward and out of place. Those parts were the "romance" scenes. Now don't get me wrong... I have no problem with love and feelings fluttering around in a magical story. However, as I said, the romance in the beginning scenes just seemed awkward and unnecessary.

Title: Tell the Moon to Come Out Author: Joan Lingard Narrator: Andrew Sachs Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: It is 1939. Spain is shattered by civil war. Nick's father left home to fight on the losing side three years ago; he never returned. Now Nick has gone after him crossing illegally into Spain, trying to get information. Members Reviews: Excellent story, not just for kids This is a terrific story which our ten year old listened to on his own initiative in almost one go. And this is a child who is not known for his interest in anything of that kind!! The only criticism would be that the narration by Andrew Sachs is a bit strained when he attempts to sound like a girl, or sound like the main character's Scottish mother. But the story is great, always developing, cliff hanging chapter endings, historically instructive, beautifully descriptive and undeniably exciting. I would guess of interest to boys and girls, adults too, those interested in adventure or history and especially those interested in travel and Spain. Well worth the price.

Title: Sarah's Escape Author: Jim Baumgardner Narrator: Ashley Luckett Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-09 Publisher: Tate Publishing Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: In the third of the Sarah books, Author Jim Baumgardner elevates the action and suspense to a new level. Brace yourself for excitement as you ride with Sarah on the steamboat Anna Marie. With no going back and an uncertain future, Sarah remains narrowly one step ahead of her evil uncle. She desperately needs rescue - but how? From where can it come and from whom? With her fate in the hands of God, the fast-paced, heart-pounding action reaches a shocking climax on the plains of Kansas. Witness and experience the emotional, spellbinding ordeal of Sarah's Escape. Members Reviews: Third in the Series of Sarah's Wish, named "Best Book 2010" This is the third book in the series of "Sarah's Wish" which was the winner of "Homeschool Crew of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine". The excitement and adventure in this book is as good as the first two. The fourth and final book in the Sarah series has just recently come out titled "The Making of a Spy". The historical background is a wonderful way to teach our youth about the America their great grandparents lived in. Get the whole series. You won't be disappointed! Can Sarah solve the clues in time? Sarah's Escape is book three in the Sarah series by Jim Baumgardner. It begins whereSarah's Promiseleft off. Uncle Rafe has entered back into Sarah's life. Sarah must find her mother's will and solve the clues to keep the farm, but Uncle Rafe is an evil man who will stop at nothing to get his way. Sarah's friends and family will band together with her as she fights against her uncle and the horrid things that he has in store for her. Along the way, Sarah grows into a more independent young lady who has to chose to hate or forgive her Uncle. Sarah's Escape is more dark than the previous books due to Uncle Rafe's character. There were times when my daughter was a bit frightened by some of the scenes in the book, but she wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen to Sarah and her friends. She thought it was cool that Sarah got to meet Abraham Lincoln and spend time with the Indians. As the books go on, we have been able to watch Sarah grow and mature not just physically and mentally, but also spiritually. We look forward to seeing how Sarah handles the hatred that currently burns inside of her.

Title: Newes from the Dead Author: Mary Hooper Narrator: Eve Matheson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Teens, History & Historical Fiction Publisher's Summary: Moments later, her lifeless body is lifted down from the scaffold and carried to the College of Physicians for brutal dissection. But as Anne's corpse lies on the table and the doctors assemble, a strange rattle is heard in her throat. Against all the odds, could she still be alive? A riveting book for older children based on the true story of a girl who cheated the hangman's noose. Critic Reviews: "First-rate ... Anne's story, handled with skill and passion, will be hard for anyone to put down." (The Times, UK) "Anne's thoughts, from coffin to dissecting table, are juxtaposed with a third-person narrative, centering on a nervous young surgeon who is on hand to witness and assist in the young woman's dissection....Give this to readers who prefer their historical mysteries straight up - without an overlay of fantasy." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Loved every single page! It is 1650s in England. A girl lies in a coffin, dead, after being hanged. Welcome to the story of Anne, a story that just happened to be based on real events. I picked this book because xxxx mentioned it as one book that hasn't received enough attention but should. I TOTALLY agree with you Brandi. I am not going to tell you why Anne was hanged, you need to read the book to find out by yourself :-) After Anne was hanged, her body was to be dissected for medical studies. However, just when the first incision on Anne's body is about to be made, Anne's eyelids move... or so is though by everyone in the room. How could she not be dead after she was hanged? What follows is an intense and funny set of procedures to determine if, in fact, Anne's body and soul are still on this world or the other. Oh! Newes from the dead is lovely! I enjoyed every single moment of the story. Granted, I was mad at Anne for believing her master but, it's not much that she believed him but that she chose to do so. Back to the writing, Hooper hypnotized me with her style. It was never too much, or too little but just perfect. The ending: not a typical happy ending if you call it a happy ending at all. Since the story is based on the real life of Anne, it ended the way, I guess, it did centuries ago. Exciting True-ish Story This book is not for children. There is some sexual material that would be inappropriate. This is an exciting tale based on a true story of a girl who was hanged until "dead" and lived. The majority of the story takes place as flash backs as the two main characters think about their lives. Lots of great historical details. It is very apparent that Mary Hooper does her research. Good book We read this book for our book group. It was definately very interesting. And well written. For some reason though, I had a hard time getting thru it. But it was good. Excellent book, historians and mystery readers will love! I could not put this book down. Although the book is for the young adult readers I found it to be interesting and not dumbed down in any way. The history in the story coupled with the imagination of the writer is wonderful. A must read. loved it Great book. Enjoyed the story, purchased for my teen daughter and decided to read it first myself. Glad I did

A young bisexual British lord embarks on an unforgettable grand tour of Europe with his best friend/secret crush. An 18th-century romantic adventure for the modern age written by This Monstrous Thing author Mackenzi Lee - Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets the 1700s. Henry "Monty" Montague doesn't care that his roguish passions are far from suitable for the gentleman he was born to be. But as Monty embarks on his grand tour of Europe, his quests for pleasure and vice are in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family's estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy. So Monty vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty's reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores. Witty, dazzling, and intriguing at every turn, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is an irresistible romp that explores the undeniably fine lines between friendship and love. Members Reviews: Even better than I expected... This was a wonderful book that took me by surprise with its humor, well-paced plot, and memorable characters. I took a chance on it, and I am so glad I did. The fact that characters felt flawed and real, yet didn't irritate me, was a refreshing change from other books I have picked up recently. I recommend it to anyone who wants a quick, fun read. Must Read Loved it so much. Witty, fun and romantic. Plus the performance was amazing. I couldn't put it down. My absolute FAVORITE audio book ever Christian Coulson does such a fantastic job performing this book that I cannot express how glad I am that I decided to listen to it rather than read my physical copy. Not only is it an amazingly well written story, full of excitement and heartache and love, but Coulson brings Monty and all the other characters to life in a way that my own mental adaptation could not. It's an absolute must listen and a definite read. Fun story BRILLIANT Narration I enjoyed this YA story, it was a fun story, witty and cute. I am glad I finally got to it, but I am so happy I listened to the audio the narrator was brilliant he just nailed it, sometimes a bad narrator can ruin a book this is actually the first time for me the narrator improved the story. I don't think I would have enjoyed the humor as much if I was reading it. Wonderful! This book was so good! I'm going to get the physical copy due to how good it was.

Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City - and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It's 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. Evie worries her uncle will discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer. As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfold in the city that never sleeps. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A student named Jericho is hiding a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened.... This audiobook includes an introduction read by Libba Bray. Members Reviews: It was the bees knees!!! If you could sum up The Diviners in three words, what would they be? Captivating, thrilling, and historical. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Diviners? The most memorable moment for me was when Blind Bill put his hands on Isaiah and caused him to go unconscious. I was so shocked and pissed off that he would exploit a child's gift in order to better himself. I know he's a bum, but I did not see that coming. Then, I did not understand why he threw Ms. Williams under the bus to Octavia? There are others but it will spoil the book. Have you listened to any of January LaVoys other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not listened to January LaVoy before, but she is my favorite narrator now! She did a phenomenal job separating the characters through voices and accents. I was blown away! She made the story come alive for me and I would have not gotten that experience if I had read it myself. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I was anxious to know if they would figure out that they were dealing with a demon and how the heck they were going to destroy him! Any additional comments? If you love the 20s and paranormal stories then you will love this book! The author did an amazing job at creating solid characters and a smooth plot using a historical background. I wanted to know if there was actually a person that killed people under the persona naughty John in New York. A delightful surprise. I purchased this because I had enjoyed the author's previous works, even though the premise and blurb didn't really sound that enticing. I didn't know much about the '20s, and wasn't that interested in it, but I needed an audiobook for the commute so I took a chance. I'm so glad I did! The author brings the '20s and all its sparkling energy to life in this book, and I really felt immersed in it, in a way that I rarely do with YA novels. The narrator did an excellent job giving each character a unique voice, and capturing the inflection and tone of speech in the '20s. She even sounded great singing some of the songs! Unlike the other reviewer, I thought the characters were well fleshed out and true to life.

Members Reviews: but too sad for me Interesting read, but too sad for me. Of course with the title AUSCHWITZ in it I should have expected it. I learned a couple of new facts about the camps that were too unpleasan and chilling. . Based upon a true story of a young Jewish teenage girl's survival in Auschwitz The Librarian of Auschwitz is based upon a true story. I was truly moved by all that the prisoners had to endure. The story follows the life of Dita. A young woman who is selected to be the librarian of the eight books that the "school" possesses. And, then.. there are the living books. Teachers who vividly recall a book that they've read and re-read over the years and now, tell that story to the children in the "school" in Auschwitz. Dita is part of a special transport of Jews to Auschwitz. The Nazis are prepared to show the Red Cross at anytime.. that the Jews who are moved from their homes to the ghetto.. and then Auschwitz are still very much alive and living a normal life. Of course, they don't call them prisoners.. they call them detainees. It is due to the fact that the Red Cross may request to visit this select group.. that this specific Jewish group of prisoners are safe from the showers and furnaces. Books are forbidden for Jews by the Nazis. Books are knowledge. And, knowledge is something the Nazis do not want getting out into the populace. For the government that controls knowledge, fair news and books.. controls the people. The main goal of the teachers at the "school" is to hide that they are actually teaching the children how to read and write. The only thing that they are supposed to be doing.. is allowing the children to play games and draw pictures. The Angel of Death aka Mengale.. likes to have the children occasionally come to his "lab" so that he can do "tests" that will satisfy whatever twisted theory the madman could think up and carry out his experiments. This is a very important historical novel that I hope will find it's way into classrooms all over the world. Never forget. Brilliant and hard story to read âItâs the war, Edithââ. itâs the warâ.

Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map - the key to a legendary treasure trove - 17-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.

But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.

Where does Daughter of the Pirate King rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is definitely in my top 10. It wasn't the sort of story that I couldn't stop listening to but I was always excited to start listening to it again. I usually don't write reviews but felt this book earned one! What did you like best about this story? What's not to like! Pirates, romance, adventure, and a super strong yet believable female protagonist! What does Marisa Calin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? This is the first time I've listened to Marisa Calin and I will seek her out from now on. She is one of the best narrators ever. Her voices are perfect for all the characters and each character is different and recognizable. I can't say enough about how amazing she is! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? This book was a good casual read. Very enjoyable but not so suspenseful that I had to finish it quickly. Any additional comments? If you like Pirates of the Caribbean you'll eat this book up. This needs to be a movie! This book was so fun to listen to! It was such an awesome adventure and I loved the characters! I can't wait to continue on with the story to find out what happens! I loved it! I haven't read a pirate story this good before and it really reminds me of the pirates of the Caribbean! I can't wait to get 'Daughter of the siren queen' and come aboard on another adventure with my new favorite pirates! My first audiobook Would you listen to Daughter of the Pirate King again? Why? I have been! I love it. Each time I re-listen to it, I get more details, and it the book just seems like a totally new story. Which scene was your favorite? It was towards the end of the book when Alosa stopped using restraint and used her full training. I was obsessed with the book from the beginning I picked up my hardcover copy and started it and became so obsessed that I used a leftover credit to get the audiobook to listen to when I couldn't read the book itself. I wasn't the biggest fan of the narrator but I thought her voice fit well for Alosa's character that I forgave it. I haven't been so addicted to a book in so long, I'm so glad I picked this up! Excellent story, beautifully read!!! I loved every minute of this story, and can't wait to start the next book!!

But as he works with a band of outlaws using guerrilla tactics, he also begins to pay attention to the teachings of a wandering rabbi from a nearby town.

Yes! Such an enjoyable story of a young man's journey to overcome hate and embrace love. Very redemptive theme, that can be heard over and over again. Who was your favorite character and why? So many great characters in this story it is too hard to choose. But I love the authentic nature of Daniel. A young man struggling to give up what many would agree is justifiable hate and deciding to love in spite of what has taken place in his past. Which scene was your favorite? When Thacia realizes that Daniel now has peace and is free to pledge his love to her. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The moment of forgiveness in Daniels heart, peace washing over him and Leah being set free from her demons! Any additional comments? A wonderful book to read as a family. So many great discussions have spurred from this text. :-) great classic
loved it. will listen to again. family book read on a Christmas vacation meeting family Wow! Amazing story. A must read for all ages. This was a fantastic and engaging story from the very beginning. So many life lessons to be learned. Love conquers hate this is a great story of how God's love can help over come all the battles and hate we face in life. My favorite book I've read this book about 10 times. It's my all time favorite book. When you first read it, it is slow to get into the story so give it time. If you read it all the way through, I'm sure you will love it too!
