Summary

Toni has always had nightmares about fire, and she also has burn scars but no idea how she got them. So when fire destroys the orphanage she has grown up in, she is ready to make her way to Toronto, where she hopes to discover the truth about the mother she believes hurt and then abandoned her. Toronto proves to be both daunting and exciting for Toni, whose charm and innocence attract attention—not always positive—wherever she goes. Buoyed by the music she hears at the folk club where she finds a job, and encouraged by her glamorous landlady, Toni unearths shocking information that contradicts everything she believes and makes her re-evaluate what she feels for all the new people in her life.
Part of the SECRETS—a series of seven linked novels that can be read in any order.

    The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King, the latest children’s book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul.Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate―and Davey’s master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it―until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people.The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus’ Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.

    In the bustling aquarium, Finley lives a peaceful, albeit monotonous life with her fellow fish. She is content with her routine and has no desire for anything more. That is until one day, a majestic sea fish named Coral is unexpectedly placed into their aquarium. Coral, having been caught by the aquarium owners on a fishing trip, shares tales of the vast ocean and its wonders with Finley. 
As Coral describes the expansive ocean filled with big and extraordinary things, Finley's curiosity is piqued. However, fear also lingers in her heart as she contemplates the unknown world beyond the glass walls of her aquarium. The ocean seems both alluring and intimidating, with its mysteries hidden around every corner. Finley begins to wonder if she has what it takes to embrace the freedom and vastness of the open ocean. 
Driven by her newfound desire to explore the ocean, Finley seizes an opportunity to make her dream a reality. In a moment of bravery, she jumps out of the aquarium, determined to swim towards the door leading to the outside world. Yet, her daring escape does not go unnoticed by Markiss, the family pet cat, who quickly gives chase. Frightened, Finley retreats back to the safety of her aquarium just in time.

    "As her birthday approaches, [Amber] desperately wants a watch so she can be independent...
Dana Lubotsky's voice has a childlike quality, and she narrates with both the matter-of-factness and urgency of an almost 7-year-old. A moderate pace assures the listener time to follow the storyline and appreciate Tony Ross's illustrations. Perky music provides background." - AudioFile Magazine
