  Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she'd do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.    And she might just have got away with it, if it weren't for her husband's job. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma a well-known marine biologist. When she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife's life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers the woman he loves doesn't really exist. Even her name isn't real.    When the very darkest moments of Emma's past finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was . . .    But first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.•«Love of Life»•«The Story of Keesh»•«The White Silence»•«Grit of Women»•«The Marriage of Lit-lit»•«The White Man's Way» •«The Story of Jees Uck»

  Benjamin Franklin was a proud citizen of America all his life. And a proud subject of the British Empire. Until he wasn’t. 
   
  Under British rule Franklin prospered as a printer, newspaper publisher, and writer. 
  • He served in the Pennsylvania Assembly that made laws for the colony. 
  • He led campaigns to build the first college, library, hospital, and fire department for Philadelphians. 
  • He even proposed a closer political union of Britain and its American colonies to create a stronger Empire. 
   
  But when the British Parliament began chipping away at the colonies’ rights to govern themselves, Americans rebelled. At first Franklin used all his wit and wisdom to patch up the quarrel. When that failed, his dream of a stronger Empire died. 
   
  But a new dream was born—an independent America. 
   
  Gretchen Woelfle uses Franklin’s witty and wise words to portray Benjamin Franklin’s long winding road to revolution.

  A spine-tingling and heart-warming story about friendship and finding your special place in the world. 
    
  Gus doesn't want to make friends. She also doesn't want to be intrigued by the cat-lady teacher at her new school, or the Riley's Comet project that she and her seaweed-eating science partner are working on together. 
  And she definitely doesn't want to fall in love with her job as the projectionist at the Starlight, a drive-in movie theatre that her family is reviving. 
  Because, knowing Gus's luck, she and her family could be moving on in a day, or a week, or a month. When the ghosts that haunt Mum catch up with them. Or if the Starlight doesn't succeed.  
  Then she'll have to say goodbye. Again.  
  And saying goodbye is too hard. 
  PRAISE FOR GUS AND THE STARLIGHT 
  'A magical middle-grade book with a feather-light fantastical touch that wonderfully helps the young protagonist figure out their complex and confusing family; the hope they have in their heart for a fresh start, and the ways that the past can haunt and help us. Just - stunning!' 
  - Danielle Binks, award-winning author of The Year the Maps Changed 
  'An utterly captivating tale of family, friends and a haunted drive-in cinema, told with gentle humour and poignant moments that tug on the heart-strings.' 
  - Kate Forsyth, best-selling and award-winning author of The Chain of Charms series 
  'What a beautifully-put-together middle grade novel. Victoria has done such a great job of bringing this tale to life. Gus is a wonderful hero and I was cheering for her and the Ables the whole way. This has the perfect mix of feels, humour and pathos, and a sprinkle of supernatural!' 
  - Karen Foxlee, award-winning author of Lenny's Book of Everything and Dragon Skin 
  'A novel that is as full of heart as it is ghosts. Charming, exciting, poignant. An enchanting debut.' 
  - Rebecca McRitchie, award-winning author of the Whimsy & Woe and Jinxed! series 
  'A delightfully offbeat ghost story, featuring cinema, snacks, school projects and the joy of second chances.' 
  - Jaclyn Moriarty, award-winning author of The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone 
  'A moving and haunting read. This magical and quintessentially Australian tale is all about storytelling and how we have the capacity to rewrite our own destinies.'

  You Are Forbidden by Jerry Shelton - In a future where fate is determined by Predictable Life-Lines, Dr. Jules Craig wrestles with the ethical dilemma of revealing a patient's grim destiny while concealing his own. As he grapples with the weight of his own experiment to alter his predicted future, a chilling revelation threatens to unravel his sanity and reshape his understanding of destiny. 
  Dr. Jules Craig, P.L.L., was unhappy. He was famous. He was young. He was talented, healthy, successful. He carried the distinguished degree of P.L.L. He had everything! 
  But he was unhappy. 
  He sat at his tastefully furnished desk, shuffling the Life-Line charts of the patient seated across from him. The patient awaiting the diagnosis was nervous. 
  Poor devil! Craig thought. This man is going to die. He doesn't know it—and I can't tell him. 
  A wave of pity swept through him, intensifying his own brooding unhappiness. Despite the fact he had instructed his psycho-color experts to design his inner consultation office in as soothing a shade as scientifically possible, the patient was sweating profusely, awaiting the verdict. The room was comfortably air-conditioned. 
  The patient was a little fat man. The face was putty-white. Eyes shifty, breathing rapid, voice shaky and twisting of the hat. This man would be dead in three weeks, and he, Dr. Jules Craig, had to lie to the man. With an unpleasant sensation, he summoned his resolution, looked at the name near the upper left-hand corner of the charts, and spoke. 
  "You have no cause for worry, Elder Wayman," he said. He forced his voice to sound as smoothly professional as possible.
