  A charming look at the Depression Era through the eyes of a young girl growing up in northern Minnesota. Barbara was born in 1931 when economic times were hard but life was simple. She lived with her parents and siblings in five houses by the time she was twelve, and takes the listener along as describes the houses and shares her stories of saving for a bike, paying for piano lessons with porcupine meatballs, enjoying five-cent ice cream cones, and learning the basics of journalism work at the local newspaper office. This story was written by Barbara Braseth Johnson at age 85 so her grandchildren could get a glimpse of what it was like to live without tv and cell phones and computers. She can be reached by email at barbjohnson104@gmail.com.

  Step into the cobbled streets of 16th-century London in The Prince and the Pauper, Mark Twain’s classic tale of mistaken identity, compassion, and the contrast between privilege and poverty. When two boys—Tom Canty, born in the slums of Offal Court, and Edward Tudor, heir to the English throne—meet and discover their uncanny resemblance, they impulsively swap clothes... and lives. What begins as a game leads to a life-altering adventure as each must navigate a world utterly foreign to them. Through hardship and revelation, they gain a deeper understanding of justice, dignity, and humanity. 
  This abridged edition, narrated with heartfelt nuance by Joe Reeder, brings Twain’s sharp wit and deep empathy to new and seasoned listeners alike. A timeless reflection on class and character, this story speaks just as powerfully today as it did over a century ago.

  In this spooky and atmospheric debut contemporary fantasy, Snow White and Rose Red meets the modern world after sisters Neve and Rose’s lives are upended when a swamp witch kidnaps Rose. Perfect for fans of Jodi Lynn Anderson and Katherine Arden. 
  For twelve-year-old Neve, it’s always been she and her older sister against the world, their lives entwined just like sisters in a fairy tale. So, if Rose loves tennis, Neve will play it too—even if secretly she’d rather be home turning cardboard boxes into offbeat art projects. Not even being moved to the piney woods outside Etters, South Carolina, can change what they are to each other—until a mysterious fog seems to swallow up Rose before Neve’s eyes. 
  Naturally, the adults don’t believe that something supernatural is at play. So, with the help of Piper, a classmate with a tomato fixation; Sammy, a boy with memories of an otherworldly stranger; and a stray dog that seems to belong to the woods, Neve discovers that her sister has been taken by a swamp-dwelling witch with a terribly wicked plan. It will be up to Neve to save her sister. Otherwise, she’ll be separated from Rose . . . forever 
  A gorgeous, haunting debut about sisterhood and finding your voice.
