  What is happening to the children in Wintermoor? Secret organisation The Night House exposes the bone-chilling truth in this terrifying thriller from master of sci-fi Dan Smith. 
  Tara Fisher’s best friend Zoe is the first to see the lights over Wintermoor – and she’s never the same again. Soon more and more teenagers are affected and start behaving strangely, often appearing to be trapped in some kind of trance, while talking about being “chosen”. The adults dismiss what is happening as some kind of hoax or mass hysteria. 
  But will they finally listen when the kids start to disappear …? 
  In this sequel to the acclaimed series, Dan Smith takes us back to the mysterious Wintermoor, where the old and reluctant reader will find themselves engrossed in the latest story. The children's and young adult fiction genre is given a fresh twist, making it a top pick for those seeking a thrilling reading experience. 
  For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Christopher Edge (The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day), Keith Robinson (Wolf Road), Phil Hickes (Shadowhall Academy), and A. M. Dassu (Boy, Everywhere).

  The Street That Wasn't There by Carl Jacobi and Clifford D. Simak - He did the same thing at the same time every night for 20 years. Then he realized something was wrong, something was very wrong. 
  Mr. Jonathon Chambers left his house on Maple Street at exactly seven o'clock in the evening and set out on the daily walk he had taken, at the same time, come rain or snow, for twenty solid years. 
  The walk never varied. He paced two blocks down Maple Street, stopped at the Red Star confectionery to buy a Rose Trofero perfecto, then walked to the end of the fourth block on Maple. There he turned right on Lexington, followed Lexington to Oak, down Oak and so by way of Lincoln back to Maple again and to his home. 
  He didn't walk fast. He took his time. He always returned to his front door at exactly 7:45. No one ever stopped to talk with him. Even the man at the Red Star confectionery, where he bought his cigar, remained silent while the purchase was being made. Mr. Chambers merely tapped on the glass top of the counter with a coin, the man reached in and brought forth the box, and Mr. Chambers took his cigar. That was all. 
  For people long ago had gathered that Mr. Chambers desired to be left alone. The newer generation of townsfolk called it eccentricity. Certain uncouth persons had a different word for it. The oldsters remembered that this queer looking individual with his black silk muffler, rosewood cane and bowler hat once had been a professor at State University. 
  A professor of metaphysics, they seemed to recall, or some such outlandish subject.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Book 3 of The Clockmaker Series, The Clockmaker of Backward Dreams, begins on a quiet night when Kevin’s bedside clock starts ticking in reverse. Instead of guiding him forward, his dream begins to unwind, pulling him backward through moments he no longer remembers. Lina wakes to the sound, strange, gentle, wrong, and follows it with her faithful dog Rex into a moonlit realm where dreams do not grow, but unravel. They arrive in the City of Clocks, a place where golden gears spin in reverse, dancer-clocks unspin mid-leap, and Kevin’s Dream Clock turns against time itself, erasing every memory that once made him brave. The Clockmaker, wise and kind, cannot simply mend what has been forgotten, for dreams obey the child who owns them, not the tools that shape them. Worse still, a quiet force lingers in the shadows, whispering that forgetting is easier than trying, and that bravery is not worth repeating. To save Kevin, Lina must walk forward in a world moving backward, stepping into his dream to remind him of a single moment he once feared, conquered, and survived, the moment he trusted her to catch him when he fell. The Clockmaker of Backward Dreams is a gentle, cinematic tale about courage lost, courage found, and the memories that keep us moving forward, even when time itself slips in reverse.

  Darby O'Gill and the Good People...

  These are six brilliant and enthralling stories that, while making you both laugh and cry,  also leave you desperate to know what happens next.  A nineteenth-century Ireland is depicted; steeped in the supernatural, it's a place where both humans and fairies collide, both refusing to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.
  
  We witness the friendship between Tipperary farmer Darby O'Gill and King Brian Connors of the Good People grow. These two, who first thought that the differences between them meant that they were forever mortal enemies, later realise that circumstances unite rather than divide them. The stories also celebrate the most powerful fairy of them all, the Banshee, who is not really the scary villain that people sometimes imagine, but rather a career-minded, kind-hearted messenger from the Otherworld.
  
  Brian McManus has made some changes to the original stories to present them to modern readers at their absolute best, while still remaining true to the spirit and intention of Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.
  
  These delightful tales of genuine Irish folklore, full of charm, wittiness, and poignancy, will appeal to children of all ages.
