  Should they travel back in time? They know when—but not why. Either way, danger awaits! 
  When two cousins cross paths with the time-traveling Baxter children, they have no idea their lives are about to change forever. Janie and Lenny, kids from the rough side of town, are used to facing challenges in the present—but when they’re swept into an extraordinary adventure in the past, they begin to wonder: Is escaping into history easier than facing an uncertain future? 
  Meeting the Baxters at a family gathering is just the beginning. Before long, the cousins find themselves traveling through time to solve a mystery. But will uncovering the truth help them fix their problems in the present? And when the moment comes—will they even want to return? 
  Stuck Between Two Lives is a gripping standalone adventure and the seventh book in the Stuck series. Blending history, mystery, and time travel, it’s a thrilling and thought-provoking read packed with drama, adventure, and a touch of humour. 
  Perfect for readers 8+, but adults will be captivated too! If you love The Secret Lake by Karen Inglis or The Time Hunters Saga by Carl Ashmore, you won’t want to miss this exciting time-travel adventure.

  England 
   
   
  1616 
   
   
  Robert Belstrang, ex-magistrate bored with country life, comes to London to investigate the strange disappearance of Thomas Jessop, son of a poor Catholic neighbour. He locates the youth in Bedlam asylum, silent and starving himself. When he tries to free Jessop, he is warned off the case by a politic lawyer, Anstis. Soon after, Belstrang finds himself drugged, robbed and falsely imprisoned. 
   
   
  Once released Belstrang persists in his investigation, but he is thwarted at every turn: unseen forces are at work who seemingly want Thomas Jessop to die. When Belstrang confronts Anstis, even he turns up dead. 
   
   
  The trail grows murkier by the hour, drawing Belstrang into the fear-ridden Catholic underworld - until he uncovers a plan with its roots in the Gunpowder Plot of more than a decade ago. Young Thomas, an embittered papist, was being used in a desperate scheme to mark the anniversary of the Plot. The scheme failed – and now the conspirators seem eager to cover up the whole business. 
   
   
  But Belstrang’s a stubborn man. With the help of ex-soldier Daniel Oldrigg, he sticks doggedly to his purpose - and stumbles on the real causes of the Anniversary Plot, which stem from the very heart of a corrupt government. 
   
   
  Belstrang must uncover the truth, or die trying.

  VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
  The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
  It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

  A gripping testament to human endurance and the indifference of nature, The Open Boat by Stephen Crane captures the harrowing true story of survival at sea after the wreck of the steamer Commodore. Based on Crane’s own near-death experience, this masterpiece of American naturalism follows four men—the captain, the cook, the correspondent, and the oiler—as they struggle against exhaustion, hunger, and the merciless power of the ocean in a tiny dinghy adrift off the Florida coast. Through vivid imagery and piercing realism, Crane explores courage, camaraderie, and the haunting realization that nature is vast, beautiful, and utterly indifferent to man’s fate. 
  Narrated with raw intensity by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook immerses listeners in the rhythm of the waves, the quiet desperation of survival, and the fragile bonds that form in the face of oblivion.
