Synopsis

There are things which never age. Such was the heart of the Maid who remained glad as a girl to the end of her century, and such the marvellous Chicago with a century rounded glory which is still the glory of a youth whose future magnificence no man can estimate.
In some measure, the story of the Sun Maid is an allegory.
Both the heroine and the city of her love grew from insignificant beginnings; the one into a type of broadest womanhood, the other into a grandeur which has made it unique among the cities of the world.
Discouragements, sorrows, and seeming ruin but developed in each the same high attributes of courage, indomitable will power, and far-reaching sympathy. The story of the youth of either would be a tale unfinished; and those who have followed, with any degree of interest, the fortunes of either during any period will keep that interest to the end.
E. R., Baltimore, January, 1900

    Every year, people ask Groundhog the same, boring old question. Is spring around the corner? Or are we doomed to more winter? Sure, they care about his shadow, but what about him and his interests? He's had enough! Groundhog packs his bags and sets out for a much-needed vacation. Now the town is holding auditions to find someone to fill his spot. None of the animals seem right for the job, though. Not Elephant, not Ostrich, and most certainly not Puppy. No one has Groundhog's flair for the dramatic, but is it too late to woo him back into the spotlight? 
    With a fresh take on a familiar event, this hilarious audiobook will leave listeners wishing it was Groundhog's Day year-round.

    A fire destroys, a miracle appears, a crime unfolds in this story of a young girl pulled deeper into a mystery that could destroy her family and the community she wants to call home. 
    When Saba Khan's apartment burns in a mysterious fire, possibly a hate crime, her Chicago high school rallies around her. Her family moves rent-free into a luxury apartment, Saba's Facebook page explodes, and she starts (secretly) dating a popular boy. Then a quirky piece of art donated to a school fund-raising effort for the Khans is revealed to be an unknown work by famous outsider artist Henry Danger, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Saba's life turns upside down again. Should Saba's family have all that money? Or should it go to the students who found the art? Or to the school? And just what caused that fire?  
    Greed, jealousy, and suspicion create an increasingly tangled web as students and teachers debate who should get the money and begin to point fingers and make accusations. The true story of the fire that sets events in motion and what happens afterward gradually comes together in an innovative narrative made up of journal entries, interviews, articles, letters, text messages, and other documents.

    Steve has kept himself quite busy, being the only builder in the world... 
    It's a fact. No matter how hard he has tried in the past, the villagers never catch on. So resigned to being the only one with his incredible, if he does say so himself, skill, Steve has settled into retirement from being an adventurer and instead turned to building. 
    After all, he’s defeated the Ender Dragon, explored sunken ships, and even gone on a mad run through the Nether. There can’t be much left to do, can there? 
    Even if it is a little bit lonely, being the only builder in the world. 
    Before long, Steve notices strange happenings around the mighty fortress he calls home. Sheep being let from their pen, blocks where they shouldn’t be, chests missing all of their items. 
    Steve doesn’t remember building that staircase either, but it had to have been him! 
    Hadn’t it?
