Beyond the shore in the black woods, she will find a group of children who teach her everything the island offers to those chosen to stay...forever. The children have important rules. First, no one is allowed to leave the treehouses at night because the shadows will take you to places unknown. Second, no one should ever wander into the woods alone because the paths have a strange way of changing behind you. These are two basic rules Annabelle can't seem to follow. There is the hope of escape for those eager to take it. A massive project is being built deep in the island, hidden away from those holding the children here.

Book excerpt: College student Megs Devonshire sets out to fulfill her younger brother George’s last wish by uncovering the truth behind his favorite story. What transpires is a fascinating look into the bond between siblings and the life-changing magic of stories. 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it’s just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: “Where did Narnia come from?” Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life. After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brother’s request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: “The way stories change us can’t be explained. It can only be felt. Like love.” From the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea A captivating, standalone historical novel combining fact and fiction An emotional journey into the books and stories that make us who we are Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ripley is an unmistakable descendant of Gatsby, that 'penniless young man without a past' who will stop at nothing."—Frank Rich Now part of American film and literary lore, Tom Ripley, "a bisexual psychopath and art forger who murders without remorse when his comforts are threatened" (New York Times Book Review), was Patricia Highsmith's favorite creation. In these volumes, we find Ripley ensconced on a French estate with a wealthy wife, a world-class art collection, and a past to hide. In Ripley Under Ground (1970), an art forgery goes awry and Ripley is threatened with exposure; in The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980), Highsmith explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy underworld; and in Ripley Under Water (1991), Ripley is confronted by a snooping American couple obsessed with the disappearance of an art collector who visited Ripley years before. More than any other American literary character, Ripley provides "a lens to peer into the sinister machinations of human behavior" (John Freeman, Pittsburgh Gazette).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annabelle is a teen-aged girl who feels like a misfit most of the time. Her difficulties with friendship and trust are put fully to the test when she discovers a dragon hiding in the woods behind her home, and a strange and powerful bond forms between them. When this beautiful and enchanting creature is joined by a fellow ally from a far-away world called Qi^Ba^Ru, they invite Annabelle to go on an adventure she couldn’t possibly imagine. The dragon speaks of a legend of her return to a world that was once well known to her ancestors and explains that her human family is in great danger. An evil war lord from this world, Daramac, has dedicated his life to putting an end to humankind, and he may have finally found a way to get to Annabelle’s world and complete his mission. Full of fear, mistrust, and uncertainty, Annabelle embarks on this quest, relying more and more on the bonds she has formed with the dragon, Arielle, and the half-elf, Doogal. Once in Qi^Ba^Ru, Doogal, Arielle and Annabelle hope to recover Daramac’s greatest hidden treasure - the stolen golden eggs which hold the last of the female dragons of their time. The Legend of The Return paints Annabelle as the hero of the story, but she cannot believe it to be true. She is just a girl who misses her mom, and who feels afraid and unsure. This bond she has formed with her dragon, Arielle, is changing her, though. Maybe, when fueled by love and trust, anything is possible. Maybe their love is even strong enough to overcome great evil. As Annabelle faces this strange new world, she must find courage, confidence, and love within.
