| School of the Dead by Avi; narrated by Michael CrouchJuvenile Fiction. Tony's Uncle Charlie has always been odd -- it's one of the things he has in common with seventh-grader Tony, who shares his interest in the supernatural. After Uncle Charlie dies suddenly, Tony is so heartbroken that he's actually comforted when he starts seeing Uncle Charlie's ghost. Less comforting is Tony's new school, where students go missing, spirits haunt secret passageways, and no one is what they seem. Pairing a suspenseful plot with otherworldly chills, School of the Dead is just creepy enough to please fans of mystery and horror alike, and Michael Crouch's narration supplies the right touch of uncertainty and anxiety. |

| Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas; narrated by Mary Jane WellsAdult Fiction. Once a shop assistant, now proprietor of the department store that bears his name, Rhys Winterborne has become accustomed to getting what he wants. And Rhys wants Lady Helen Ravenel, the shy beauty who nursed him through his recent illness. But Lady Helen, however willing, is an aristocrat, while Rhys, for all his wealth and influence, remains the son of a Welsh grocer. And society's disapproval is nothing compared to the couple's fears that love doesn't necessarily conquer all. Mary Jane Wells' convincing narration enlivens the personality differences between Rhys and Lady Helen in this 2nd book in the Ravenels series (after Cold-Hearted Rake). |
