  In Hate List, Jennifer Brown delivered a powerful story about grief, friendship, and forgiveness in the aftermath of a school shooting. Now, she explores an evocative new narrative while digging deeper into the themes first touched upon in her debut novel.David Judy knows what it's like to be bullied. Shy and gentle, with a soft voice and "a girl's name for a last name," he is a prime target. Thankfully, there's one girl David feels at ease with – Valerie, the girl who's been dating his neighbor and sometimes-friend, Nick. Valerie is kind to David and pulls him into their circle of outcast friends, where he finally feels like he (sort of) belongs. So when David starts to suspect that Nick and his friend Jeremy are planning a revenge plot against their tormentors, he wrestles with whether or not to tell someone. By the time he finally works up the courage to say something...it's too late.David tries to put what he knows behind – to forget and move on – but that's hard to do as senior year starts and he watches his old friend, Valerie, struggle in a deep, dark place of guilt and confusion. It's time to speak up. David may not be able to end bullying, but by standing up, he might just make a difference. And that's what matters.A Hachette Audio production.

  The Planet of Illusion

  The Planet of Illusion by Millard V. Gordon - "A phantom land and a phantom folk Come sailing out of the deep unknown With a soundless roar and a lightless flash To conquer a void for them alone." 
  "Planet sighted!" sang out Kendall, eye glued to the electro-telescope. 
  "Where away?" rang Fred Broster from his place at the controls. 
  "Five point on ten left from star. Point three seven above the elliptic," came Kendall's voice again from the forward observation window. 
  "You're daft and dreaming. Snap into it and look again," Broster yelled, staring hard at the automatically-recording space-chart. "There's nothing here but a particularly empty species of nothingness." 
  The captain's keen gray eyes stared carefully at the glowing panel before him. On it shone out tiny points of light which revealed each of the different bodies through whose vicinity the Astralite was passing. A remarkable device actuated by delicate gravital detectors which marked out every body they approached. 
  And according to this chart, there was no such planet recorded in the depths of the device as that which Kendall had sighted. 
  "I'm not dreaming. Your chart is wrong if you can't find it there," Kendall remarked after a pause, still staring through the lens of the instrument. 
  Broster examined the chart again. No; there positively was no planet circling the star as his observer claimed. 
  "Come away from there!" he called, straightening up. "Dr. Seaward, will you please take the observer's place and check." 
  Seaward dropped the calculations in hand, walked across the control room of the great interstellar explorer, up to the very tip. Kendall stood aside while the doctor applied his eye to the lens. 
  "It's there all right, Broster. A little red disk exactly where he called it off; the chart's wrong."
