  Annie's Adventures

  A large problem has befallen the Huit girls. (Sisters, actually. Octuplets to be exact.) One particular New Year's Eve, the girls wait for their mommy to bring them hot chocolate and their daddy to return with more wood for the fire. But they don't. Mommy and Daddy, that is. They're gone. Poof! Maybe dead—no one knows for sure. 
  You must see the problem here. Eight little girls on their own, no mommy or daddy to take care of them. This is not a good thing. 
  So now these little girls must take care of themselves. Get to school, cook the meals, feed the cats (eight of them, too), and pay the bills. They can't ask for help, oh no. After losing their parents, being split up would be completely unbearable. 
  At the same time, the question remains: What happened to Mommy and Daddy? 
   
  The Sisters Eight (as they are called, affectionately and otherwise) are determined to find out. Luckily, they do seem to have someone or something helping them. 
  It's a good old-fashioned mystery with missing (or dead) parents, nosy neighbors, talking refrigerators, foul-smelling fruitcake (is there any other kind?), and even a little magic. Eight little girls, eight cats, and one big mystery—let the fun begin!

Coretta Scott King Honoree Lesa Cline-Ransome unravels the fascinating history of how Adolphe's once reviled instrument was transported across Europe and Mexico to New Orleans. Follow the saxophone's journey from Adolphe's imagination to the pawn-shop window where it caught the eye of musician Sidney Bechet and became the iconic symbol of jazz music it is today.

  The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times, now adapted for younger readers.In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.But with a criminal justice system with the cards stacked against Black men, Hinton was sentenced to death . He spent his first three years on Death Row in despairing silence—angry and full of hatred for all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon—transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015.With themes both timely and timeless, Hinton’s memoir tells his dramatic 30-year journey and shows how you can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends

  Welcome to the whimsical world of the Clangers, a family of pink mouse-like creatures who dwell on a mysterious blue planet deep in space. Let's meet the inhabitants of this craggy yet charming world.Major Clanger is the father of the family, forever inventing all kinds of curious contraptions. Mother Clanger tends to their home with steady kindness and a comforting nature. Small Clanger, their adventurous son, is eager to explore and make marvellous discoveries, though his curiosity sometimes leads him into mischief. Tiny Clanger, the youngest, has a generous spirit and embraces everyone she meets with open arms.Alongside the Clangers live their friends: the Soup Dragon and her playful Baby Dragon, who live deep underground and provide the Clangers with delicious green soup; the Iron Chicken, the Music Trees, the Froglets, and the gentle Hoots.When unexpected debris from outer space floats around their peaceful planet, the Clangers explore these strange arrivals with curiosity and wonder. As a peculiar object orbits around their home, the Clangers work together capturing the mysterious gadget with a butterfly net. After investigating, the Clangers discover the strange contraption is a TV set. They fiddle with the collection of buttons, but terribly raucous sounds emerge from it. Far too loud for the Clangers' liking, they launch the TV back into space keeping their home quiet and peaceful. These Clangers audiobooks offer a rare opportunity to experience a quiet kind of magic—one where every whistle tells a story, and every crater holds a lesson in friendship, generosity, or wonder. As the Soup Dragon bubbles up her green soup and Tiny and Small venture across their musical world, listeners of all ages are invited to slow down and listen.This special audiobook edition of The Clangers has been produced from the original audio recordings by Oliver Postgate, and carefully adapted for a new generation of listeners by Framewood Media Ltd.
