  Kristy Barrett is a soccer star. She's been a star since elementary school, and now is so good that she's been told she may someday make the women's Olympic team. 
   
   
   
  Everything changes in an instant, when a blow to her head during a game results in a severe concussion. It's not her first head injury, but it's the worst one she's ever had. The doctors say it will take time to recover; they don't know how long. All Kristy knows is that her team is moving on without her, and her purpose—soccer—is gone, and she doesn't know what to do, or even who she is. Her days are marked by pain and panic attacks. 
   
   
   
  Through two unexpected new friendships and insightful therapists, Kristy starts to rebuild her life. The question is, will her new life include soccer? 
   
   
   
  Sports injuries are a reality of competitive play, for both male and female athletes. Here is a story that athletes and other listeners will relate to as they navigate middle-school and their own identities.

  A delightful version of Alice's Adventures following that scurrying Rabbit with the watch that is shortened for the enjoyment of younger children. She meets all of the strange talking animals (and they are just as rude or silly as usual) and eats and drinks from all of the bottles and grows and shrinks alarmingly just like in the longer version. Enjoy.

  Mowgli is the boy who was raised by wolves. As a very young child, little Mowgli had toddled into the jungle and away from the sight of his distraught mother. Tracked by the lame tiger, Sere Kahn as a tasty morsel to eat, he had been taken in by a wolf family in their lair and protected from the tiger. But the tiger, frustrated from having an easy meal, had vowed he would eat him one day and he plotted for years as the child grew to boyhood. This is the story of how, having been banished from the wolf pack at the age of 12 for being a human, he learns that Sere Kahn is now determined to find and kill him and of what he does about it with the help of his old father and mother wolf. An exciting tale.
