Summary

Exploring a sewer near his home, David Hamilton encounters Alphonsus Tooms, a mysterious old man who warns him that the Forces of Chaos have targeted his neighbourhood, Trentham.
 
A supernatural steam engine takes David to meet the long-deceased Duke of Sutherland, who gives him the key to a hidden library. Here he finds a book containing a mirror in its centre. Thereafter, David and his new friend Helen are flung into a series of fantastical and dangerous adventures. Their school is terrorised by a witch and Trentham filled with bats before they're hung out to dry from the stars. But this is only the beginning of the longest day of their lives, in which they must battle demonic strangers, dragons, Wild Riders, giant blackbirds, spectral warriors and more.
 
Can the children defeat Chaos and restore their home town to sanity? All this and it's still only Monday...

Robinson Crusoe: The Original 1719 Edition is Daniel Defoe’s timeless tale of survival, faith, and human resilience. This unabridged audiobook brings to life the story of an Englishman cast away on a remote tropical island after a shipwreck. Alone for 28 years, Crusoe must learn to survive through ingenuity, courage, and unyielding determination. 
Told in the voice of Crusoe himself, this gripping account explores themes of isolation, divine providence, and the transformative power of solitude. From his early seafaring adventures to his struggle for survival against nature—and eventually, cannibals—Crusoe’s journey is both harrowing and deeply reflective. 
This is the complete, original 1719 edition as Defoe first published it, preserving the rich language and detail of one of the first true novels in English literature. Whether you're new to the story or rediscovering it in audio form, this classic tale will transport you to another world—where every day is a fight to live, and every moment is a lesson in human strength.

Wanted: One amazing forever home for one amazing sixth grader. 
 
 
 
"My name is Gaby, and I'm looking for a home where I can invite my best friend over and have a warm breakfast a couple of times a week. Having the newest cell phone or fancy clothes isn't important, but I'd like to have a cat that I can talk to when I'm home alone." 
 
 
 
Gaby Ramirez Howard loves volunteering at the local animal shelter. She plays with the kittens, helps to obedience train the dogs, and writes adoption advertisements so that the strays who live there can find their forever homes: places where they'll be loved and cared for, no matter what. 
 
 
 
Gaby has been feeling like a bit of a stray herself, lately. Her mother has recently been deported to Honduras and Gaby is stuck living with her inattentive dad. She's confident that her mom will come home soon so that they can adopt Gaby's favorite shelter cat together. When the cat's original owners turn up at the shelter, however, Gaby worries that her plans for the perfect family are about to fall apart.
