  Breaking up is hard to do—so why not pay someone to do it for you? 
    
  Twelve-year-old Quentin never asked to be the Heartbreak Messenger. It just kind of happened, and he can't let a golden opportunity pass him by. The valuable communication service he offers is simple: He delivers breakup messages. For a small fee, he will deliver that message to your soon-to-be ex. If you order the deluxe package, he'll even throw in some flowers and a box of chocolates. You know … to soften the blow. 
    
  At first, Quentin's entrepreneurial brainchild is surprisingly successful, which is great, because he suspects his mom, who works as a car mechanic, is worried about money. But as he interacts with clients, message recipients, and his best friend, Abigail, it doesn't take long for him to wonder if his own heart will remain intact. In The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance, Quentin discovers that the game of love and the emotions that go with it are as complicated as they come—even for an almost-innocent bystander.

  Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick - Something went wrong... and Ed Fletcher got mixed up in the biggest thing in his life 
  It was bright morning. The sun shone down on the damp lawns and sidewalks, reflecting off the sparkling parked cars.The clerk came walking hurriedly, leafing through his instructions, flipping pages and frowning. He stopped in front of the small green stucco house for a moment, and then turned up the walk, entering the back yard. 
  The dog was asleep inside his shed, his back turned to the world. Only his thick tail showed. 
  "For Heaven's sake," the clerk exclaimed, hands on his hips. He tapped his mechanical pencil noisily against his clipboard. "Wake up, you in there." 
  The dog stirred. He came slowly out of his shed, head first, blinking and yawning in the morning sunlight. "Oh, it's you. Already?" He yawned again. 
  "Big doings." The clerk ran his expert finger down the traffic-control sheet. "They're adjusting Sector T137 this morning. Starting at exactly nine o'clock." He glanced at his pocket watch. "Three hour alteration. Will finish by noon." 
  "T137? That's not far from here." 
  The clerk's thin lips twisted with contempt. "Indeed. You're showing astonishing perspicacity, my black-haired friend. Maybe you can divine why I'm here." 
  "We overlap with T137." 
  Exactly. Elements from this Sector are involved. We must make sure they're properly placed when the adjustment begins."

  "Please, Sir, I want some more."  
  Uttered politely by a young malnourished boy who never had anything, and the ensuing consequences set us up for Dickens' classic tale of an orphan boy. Oliver's treatment and experience from every side of society from Mr. Bumble to Fagin, to benevolent Rose. How can a boy with no connections to anyone hope to survive in Victorian England? With vivid characters, biting social criticism, and moments of humor and hope, Charles Dickens exposes the cruelty of a society that punishes the poor while the wealthy are sometimes blissfully ignorant, at other times complicit in their oppression. Oliver Twist is both a gripping adventure and a powerful moral tale, championing kindness and resilience in the face of corruption, and reminding readers that even in the darkest streets, goodness can survive and be found there.  
  This edition is part of Benny Fife Audio Junior Classics Series and features his commentary on Oliver Twist and how it applies to twenty-first century life.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  In the rolling Devon countryside near Appledore, six-year-old Chloe Brown lives with her parents John and Eliza on their dairy farm with Jersey cows. John tends the gentle herd while Eliza creates a warm, loving home filled with the memory of Chloe's great grandmother. 
  On a rainy day, curious Chloe ventures into the attic and discovers her great grandmother's old toy chest. Inside, she finds a magical collection of Victorian toys: Tommy, a brave tin soldier drummer in a red uniform with his entire battalion of fellow soldiers, Arabella the graceful porcelain ballerina, Sooty the cheerful chimney sweep, Sir Gallop the wooden rocking horse, Patches the raggedy bear, Captain Whiskers the one-eyed stuffed cat, Buttons the jack-in-the-box clown, and Rosie the elegant porcelain doll. 
  As Chloe touches Tommy with loving care, the toys miraculously come to life, awakening from decades of slumber. Tommy explains they belonged to her great grandmother and have waited patiently for another child to love them. Overjoyed at their freedom, the toys eagerly befriend Chloe. 
  Together, they embark on wonderful adventures throughout the farmhouse and farm. Tommy leads his soldier battalion in marching parades while beating his drum, Arabella performs beautiful ballet dances, and Sooty cheerfully sweeps and cleans. They play hide-and-seek, have tea parties, build castles, and explore the countryside, even meeting the friendly Jersey cows. 
  The toys teach Chloe valuable lessons: Tommy shows courage and leadership, the soldiers demonstrate teamwork, Arabella embodies grace, Sooty proves work can be joyful, and each friend contributes their unique gifts. They hold a grand celebration party, cementing their friendship. 
  As Chloe grows up and eventually has children of her own, she brings them to meet the magical toys. The cycle continues as Tommy and his friends welcome new generations of children, proving that love and friendship transcend time.
