  This is the story of a singer whose voice sailed through the air like the wings of a condor, inspiring people everywhere. 
    
  Written by Aixa Pérez-Prado, this is the powerful biography of Argentinean folksinger and human rights advocate Mercedes Sosa.

In the face of a cruel dictatorship, Mercedes refused to be silenced. She bravely stepped on stage to lend a “voice to the voiceless” with uplifting songs of empathy and empowerment. Her unforgettable music and messages of hope continue to resonate with people across the world to this day. 
    
  "Distilling Argentina's history into accessible text, the work ends on an uplifting note, discussing how the figure's 'songs of empathy and esperanza, fearlessness and fuerza helped the country begin to heal.'"—Publishers Weekly

  Join Frank and Joe, two adventurous teenage brothers with a knack for solving mysteries, in the sixth installment of the classic mystery series for young readers: The Hardy Boys!  
  The city of Bayport is at the mercy of a ring of car thieves! Vehicles have been disappearing off of the well-traveled Shore Road for three weeks; eventually, the gang gets bolder and starts moving their sights to the city. With the police and even Fenton Hardy running into dead ends, the town is in an uproar. The ring runs like a well-oiled machine: no one sees the thieves and the cars seemingly disappear into thin air despite patrols on either end of the Shore Road. Incentivized by a victimized friend, the Hardy Boys are determined to bring down the gang… but at what cost?  
  Publishers Note: This audiobook edition of The Shore Road Mystery is based on the first edition, originally published in 1928, not the 1964 revision.
