What do you call it when you ride to a spooky house in the middle of the night and accidently find a device that allows you to talk to animals, and then get kidnapped twice just to become a laboratory experiment, and finally join forces with FBI Agent Scott Tracker to help rescue an entire town? You call it a day in the life of an eleven-year-old boy named Ben Meyer who reads to many detective adventure stories, doesn’t get along with his dad, and isn’t thrilled about any of his teachers at school. His only saving grace is his neighbor’s pet rabbit whose name is Ricky. He’s furry, cuddly, warm, and Ben considers him to be his best friend. That is until someone stole him. Enlisting the help of his two friends Spencer and Tara, Ben sets out to find his friend at all cost. Slowly, little by little, like peeling an onion, he brings to light not only who kidnapped his friend, but a devious plot that will threaten his home town, New Pinehill in Vermont as well as the White House in Washington D.C. With special effects and music sprinkled throughout the audiobook edition, this non-stop epic adventure is dripping with destiny, faith, and hope.

Chicken in a Cage is the second book of a trilogy set in Southeast Asia and China. The first book, Truth Gone Missing, introduced Laney and Cade, two seasoned travellers, whose vacation in Malaysia turned out to be a journey through a maze of theft, poaching, kidnapping, and murder. A year after their return to California, Laney and Cade set out again -- this time to Borneo. Because the trip is not to be a long one, they treat themselves to a stay at the luxurious Iban Longhouse Resort, where they intend to relax by a river in the midst of a tropical rain forest. Their peace is soon violently disrupted by murder, attack by pirates, and kidnapping -- all the result of a crime-web woven by self-serving officials and tribal members, corrupt developers and conservationists, alienated travellers and refugees, discontented employees and dysfunctional family members -- each a suspect, and each a Chicken in a Cage.
December 31, 1889. As the sky over New York City explodes with fireworks on the eve of the new decade, an explosion in the streets causes social tremors that will rock the lives of three women who share a house on Twenty-Third Street: suffragette Columbine Nash, her assistant Bell Huxton, and Marguerite Corbeau, a young woman they’ve adopted from the streets. Lovely noble Columbine, a woman ahead of her time, strives to correct the social ills that are created by her class; lush, beautiful Bell, battered and abused as a child, searches for a true love and a pure philosophy; and Marguerite, a passionate woman of mystery and self-indulgence, attempts to rise above her station and join the glittering stars of New York theatre. Their paths will diverge, but their destinies are entwined in this volatile decade of high contrast, a time when wasp-waisted beauties attend fabulous balls, while underpaid seamstresses talk of anarchy and strike, and in the midst of it all are three women, each living in a gilded cage of her own design, trapped by a difficult past, a promise made in haste, a blind faith in an unbending philosophy, Their liberation is the true story of The Gilded Cage.

Fire at her fingertips. Watch the world burn. When Monroe Benson was born with the power to summon fire from her fingertips, her family knew she had to stay hidden. But when Queen Viera calls for the Culling, an age-old tradition in Erydia where ten goddess-touched girls battle to the death in order to claim the crown, Monroe can no longer hide. She’s whisked away from her home, from her mother, from everything she’s ever known to fight alongside the other girls–each with their own power—for a throne she does not want. Duty is his destiny. There’s no way out. As the son of the queen and the next king, Cohen can’t question tradition. Not even when he’s being mysteriously poisoned. Not even when his sister goes missing and no one seems to care. The Culling makes his life’s choices for him—who will become his wife, who will rule by his side. And when rebellion rises around him, what little control Cohen has over his future is threatened. Together they’ll stand. Together they’ll fall. But Monroe sees a different Cohen than the rest of the world. She sees him as more than just the crown, more than just the next cruel ruler in a long line of cruel leaders. In turn, he sees her as more than just her powers. More than just a goddess-touched girl destined to lose her life. When a betrayal threatens both their relationship and the monarchy, Monroe and Cohen face a choice that will change their lives . . . forever. For goddess-touched girls, there is only one destiny: the Culling From the moment Monroe Benson is born with a mark on her hand and the ability to summon fire from her fingertips, her life will never be her own. She’s goddess-touched, which means she’s destined to participate in the Culling, an age-old competition to determine the next queen of Erydia. For most of her seventeen years, her family has managed to keep Monroe—and her powers—hidden. But now, as Queen Viera calls for the Culling to start, and war looms on the horizon, Monroe can no longer hide. She must face her destiny whether she wants to or not. For the ten goddess-touched girls, all with different powers, the inevitably of this fight to the death has always ruled their lives. The tradition is both barbaric and cruel, but to make matters worse—Monroe isn’t prepared. She hasn’t trained her whole life for this day. She doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. She doesn’t want the crown. While Monroe struggles with her fate, a rebellion is brewing in the castle and in the country. A group called the Culled are banding together; their goal—to topple the monarchy. And the more they rise, the more merciless Viera is with her kingdom, recruiting younger and younger people from poorer and poorer places to fight in a war no one wants to be waging. Monroe finds herself on the front lines of the rebellion’s inner circle, and only one thing stands in her way: Cohen. The queen’s son and the man who will be king. Cohen’s dedication to duty, to family, to tradition stands in stark contrast to the boy Monroe sees at night in the kitchens, secretly making the two of them a snack. As the fight crescendos around them, and the death of innocents becomes a reality, the choices Monroe makes will reverberate through the kingdom . . . and her heart forever.

Beautifully written and taking us into an exotic land, Karen Connelly’s debut novel The Lizard Cage is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit. Teza once electrified the people of Burma with his protest songs against the dictatorship. Arrested by the Burmese secret police in the days of mass protest, he is seven years into a twenty-year sentence in solitary confinement. Cut off from his family and contact with other prisoners, he applies his acute intelligence, Buddhist patience, and humor to find meaning in the interminable days, and searches for news in every being and object that is grudgingly allowed into his cell. Despite his isolation, Teza has a profound influence on the people around him. His very existence challenges the brutal authority of the jailers, and his steadfast spirit inspires radical change. Even when Teza’s criminal server tries to compromise the singer for his own gain, Teza befriends him and risks falling into the trap of forbidden conversation, food, and the most dangerous contraband of all: paper and pen. Yet, it is through Teza’s relationship with Little Brother, a twelve-year-old orphan who’s grown up inside the walls, that we ultimately come to understand the importance of hope and human connection in the midst of injustice and violence. Teza and the boy are prisoners of different orders: only one of them dreams of escape and only one of them will achieve it—their extraordinary friendship frees both of them in utterly surprising ways.
