  Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was the son of a minister, a top graduate of Harvard, and a great admirer of Benjamin Franklin and the virtues of industry, frugality, and temperance he advocated. Alger’s mission in life was to write exciting stories for young adults which showed that the virtues of study, work, thrift, temperance, honesty, generosity, and bravery lead to prosperity, while vice results in ruin.  
  Alger wrote over 100 thrilling, full-length, “rags-to-riches” novels exemplifying virtue and vice in the struggle to escape poverty. Alger’s novels enjoyed immense popularity. According to Wikipedia’s “List of best-selling fiction authors”, Alger is one of the best-selling authors, not just in U.S. history but in world history.  
  Alger’s writing has had an incalculable effect by inspiring millions of people to adopt the virtues of prosperity. Alger’s novels in audiobook format provide a way to adopt a more prosperous way of thinking with a long-sustained program of listening. Millions of young adults and not-so-young adults might benefit from listening and adopting the virtues that Franklin and Alger advocate. Narrated and slightly edited for readability and current norms by Christopher Crennen.

  HIGHER INSTITUTE OF VILLAINOUS EDUCATION  Otto Malpense may only be thirteen years old, but so far he has managed to run the orphanage where he lives, and he has come up with a plan clever enough to trick the most powerful man in the country. He is the perfect candidate to become the world's next supervillain.  That is why he ends up at H.I.V.E., handpicked to become a member of the incoming class. The students have been kidnapped and brought to a secluded island inside a seemingly active volcano, where the school has resided for decades. All the kids are elite; they are the most athletic, the most technically advanced, and the smartest in the country. Inside the cavernous marble rooms, floodlit hangars, and steel doors, the students are enrolled in Villainy Studies and Stealth and Evasion 101. But what Otto soon comes to realize is that this is a six-year program, and leaving is not an option.  With the help of his new friends: an athletic martial-arts expert; a world-famous, beautiful diamond thief; and a spunky computer genius -- the only other people who seem to want to leave -- can Otto achieve what has never been done before and break out of H.I.V.E.?
