  Rose Howard has OCD, Asperger's syndrome, and an obsession with homonyms (even her name is a homonym). She gave her dog Rain a name with two homonyms (Reign, Rein), which, according to Rose's rules of homonyms, is very special. Rain was a lost dog Rose's father brought home. Rose and Rain are practically inseparable. And they are often home alone, as Rose's father spends most evenings at a bar, and doesn't have much patience for his special-needs daughter. 
   
  Just as a storm hits town, Rain goes missing. Rose's father shouldn't have let Rain out. Now Rose has to find her dog, even if it means leaving her routines and safe places to search. Rose will find Rain, but so will Rain's original owners. 
   
  Hearts will break and spirits will soar for this powerful story, brilliantly told from Rose's point of view.

  Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods, but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Find out if you’re brave enough for Tales from Cabin 23—the thrilling new series created by award-winning authors Justina Ireland and Hanna Alkaf.  
  Sean knows that one disaster tends to leads to another—like when his mother got sick and the cost of the treatment meant they had to move out of their cozy Texas home. As they try to get back on their feet, Sean’s parents send him to stay with his aunt and cousin, Zeke, in Victorvale, Massachusetts—a seaside town that has seen its own share of bad luck, with crumbling houses sitting on an eroding coastline that threatens to fall into the sea. It is into one of these decrepit old mansions that Sean and Zeke, along with their classmate Jenny, venture, looking for a neighbor's lost cat. Before they can rescue it, though, lightning cracks, the ground rumbles, and the cliffside crumbles.... 
  When Sean and Jenny come to, they find themselves trapped inside a house on its side, half submerged in the ocean, leaning against a sheer wall of rock. Zeke is in a room somewhere below them—one that is filling with water. And as night falls and the storm picks up, they discover there may be something else in the house with them. 
  Now, the three friends must escape before the cold water—or whatever lurks within it—consumes them. 
  And don't miss the other books in the hit Tales from Cabin 23 series: The Boo Hag Flex, Night of the Living Head, and?The Visitors!

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  Animal testing has long been a cornerstone of scientific research, serving as a method to understand biological processes, test the safety and efficacy of products, and develop medical treatments. It involves the use of live animals in experiments and observational studies to explore the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other substances on biological systems. This practice, while often viewed as essential, is fraught with controversy, ethical dilemmas, and scientific scrutiny. 
  The origins of animal testing can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle and Erasistratus conducted rudimentary experiments on animals to study anatomy and physiology. Over centuries, as medicine and technology advanced, the scope and complexity of animal testing expanded. By the 19th and 20th centuries, animal experimentation had become an institutionalized component of biomedical research, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries such as vaccines, antibiotics, and surgical techniques. 
  Today, animal testing is pervasive across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It is primarily used to evaluate the safety of products, ensure regulatory compliance, and develop new treatments for diseases. Animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, and primates are commonly employed because of their physiological similarities to humans, which researchers argue make them suitable models for studying human biology.
