  Harry Houdini, born Eric Weiss on March 24, 1874, was a legendary magician and escape artist who gained international fame for his daring and death-defying stunts, such as escaping from handcuffs, chains, and locked containers, often submerged underwater. His incredible physical strength, skill at manipulating locks, and next-level charitable acts made him a household name. 
  In addition to his escape acts, Houdini was a passionate debunker of fraudulent spiritualists and mediums. He believed that their tricks were performed using natural means—not ghostly manifestations or the ability to speak with the spirits. Houdini's crusade against fake spiritualists was so intense that he even conducted experiments to communicate with his wife after death, which ultimately failed. He continued to perform and innovate until his death on October 31, 1926, in Detroit, Michigan, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest magicians and escape artists of all time. 
  Never has a biography been so successful at making you feel like you are really there, reliving every moment with Harry and his wife, Bess. Whether you are a student needing information for a term paper, or simply someone who enjoys a riveting tale of gritty determination, Houdini: Master of Escape will provide you with what you need.

  Intelligent, imaginative and kind Sara Crewe is the the only daughter of a man who thinks the best thing for her is a London education. Captain Crewe is a loving father, but mistakenly sends her to Miss Michin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, where all is not quite what it seems. 
  At first, Sara embraces the status of  'princess' afforded her, and lives up to it with compassion and generosity. But soon tragedy strikes and she finds herself thrown into the life of a lowly scullery maid, with no hope of escape.  
  With unerring wit and determination she does her best to muddle through. But eventually it all becomes too much for her, and she falls into deep sorrow. 
  If only by some miracle, there was an end to her suffering... 
  With the vocal mastery of award winning Stephanie Poppins, who 'inhabits ever character as though they are her very own', this is a must have for those seeking quality without exception.

  The Abandoned of Yan by Donald F. Daley - The Abandoned have neither rights nor hopes. They only have revenge! 
  After her husband left her, Marigold filed a protection-request form and an availability form. 
  She did not do this immediately. She stayed up for the better part of the night, hoping that he would come back. She could not bring herself to believe that he would really walk out on her and leave her available for confiscation, or for the slavery pool. She also thought for quite a while about the possibility of somehow getting back to Earth, where she would not be available for either. 
  She even went to the fantastic expense of televiewing there to talk with her father and mother. They had been shocked and unfriendly. They had said good-by with a finality which left little room for doubt as to what they thought of an Abandoned. They had never had one in their family, they had pointed out, neither of them, and they did not intend to have one in their family now. They had warned her that they intended to report the call to the Beta III Protection People. 
  This did not worry her much. The call almost certainly had been monitored anyway. If they wanted to go to the considerable extra expense of reporting it, in order to impress the Protection People with their loyalty, that was their own lookout. She understood that, now, she had no family. She thought for a moment of going up-ramp to say good-by to the children, but she knew that this would not help. 
  Besides, it was illegal. They were no longer hers. She was an Abandoned.
