    When the World Was Ours
    From the New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Windsnap series, Liz Kessler, comes a "brutally honest and totally believable" (Booklist, starred review) story of three young friends whose fates are intertwined during the devastation of the Holocaust—based on a true story. Three friends. One memory. Vienna. 1936. Three young friends—Leo, Elsa, and Max—spend a perfect day together, unaware that around them Europe is descending into a growing darkness and that they will soon be cruelly ripped apart from one another. With their lives taking them across Europe—to Germany, England, Prague, and Poland—will they ever find their way back to one another? Will they want to? Inspired by a true story, When the World Was Ours is an extraordinary novel that is as powerful as it is heartbreaking and that shows how the bonds of love, family, and friendship allow glimmers of hope to flourish, even in the most hopeless of times.

    Seven Wonders of Sassafras Springs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
    When Eben McAllister reads about the Seven Wonders of the World, he longs to escape the small farming community of Sassafras Springs and do some exploring of his own. No one else ever seems to want to leave Sassafras, however, not even his best pal, Jeb, and so, for now, Eben figures he's stuck on the farm with Pa and Aunt Pretty until he grows up. All that changes when Pa, tired of Eben's moping, challenges him to find the Seven Wonders in Sassafras Springs that can stand up to the real Seven Wonders of the World. And if he does? Then Eben will get the adventure he's been craving: a trip out west. Eben doesn't reckon he'll have any luck; he can't think of even one thing that could be called "interesting", let alone wondrous, in Sassafras, but he figures he'll give it a try. Told in a down-home narrative with glimmers of magical realism woven throughout, Betty G. Birney's tale about a boy's journey of discovery reminds us all that extraordinary things can happen in the most ordinary of places...even Sassafras Springs. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Turnaway Girls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
    Delphernia Undersea wants to sing. But everyone on Blightsend knows music belongs to the Masters - and girls with singing throats are swallowed by the sea. On the strange, stormy island of Blightsend, twelve-year-old Delphernia Undersea has spent her whole life in the cloister of turnaway girls, hidden from sea and sky by a dome of stone and the laws of the island. Outside, the Masters play their music. Inside, the turnaway girls silently make that music into gold. Making shimmer, Mother Nine calls it. But Delphernia can’t make shimmer. She would rather sing than stay silent. When a Master who doesn’t act like a Master comes to the skydoor, it’s a chance for Delphernia to leave the cloister. Outside the stone dome, the sea breathes like a wild beast, the sky watches with stars like eyes, and even the gardens have claws. Outside, secrets fall silent in halls without sound. And outside, Delphernia is caught - between the island’s sinister Custodian and its mysterious Childer-Queen. Between a poem-speaking prince and a girl who feels like freedom. And in a debut that glimmers with hope and beauty, freedom - to sing, to change, to live - is precisely what’s at stake. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bailey Carr.

    Get Lucky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    A hundred thousand bucks, all for killing an animal with less natural intelligence than a barnyard pig.  What would you do? For Christian Wiley, the answer is simple.  It's time to pull up his threadbare cashmere socks, push some bourbon through his teeth, and dust off his pistol. Either that, or watch the vampires at the bank dig their teeth into the deed for his house.  With a backdrop of greedy corporations, beautiful women, and punishing Santa Ana winds, Get Lucky is a wild ride through the uneven streets of Hollywood at the dawn of the 21st century.   Wiley, once a reputable police detective, now swerves between personal demons, Hollywood's decadent elite, and the bruised hustlers who have been kicked in the teeth and into the gutter. A modern tale of immorality and excess, Get Lucky is a noir fiction that should feel right at home on your bookshelf somewhere between Raymond Carver and Raymond Chandler.  "Not since The Grifters has someone so perfectly crafted a hybrid of modern and hard-boiled genres. Los Angeles glimmers like a piece of coal mashed into a smoky diamond. Get Lucky is a heartless and hopeful tale just aching to be turned into a movie." (John Doe - Of the band "X") ungekürzt.
