    <![CDATA[  One by one, five sixteen-year-old orphans are brought to a strange building. It is not a   prison, not a hospital; it has no walls, no ceiling, no floor. Nothing but endless flights of   stairs leading nowhere —except back to a strange red machine. The five must learn to   love the machine and let it rule their lives. But will they let it kill their souls?  This   chilling, suspenseful indictment of mind control is a classic of science fiction and will   haunt readers long after the last page is turned.]]>

    <![CDATA[Barney's new next-door neighbours are unlike anyone he's ever met - utterly charming, slightly odd, and completely obsessed with a board game. When they invite Barney to join in a game of Interstellar Pig, he's delighted...until things start to get a little strange. The game involves rival aliens traversing the universe to gain possession of 'The Piggy', often destroying one another in their efforts. But it soon becomes clear that this is not just a game. The trio is searching for a real pig, and Barney can't resist joining in the hunt. He outwits them, finds the pig and hides it in his cottage. And then he realises that the Pig isn't the only thing that's real. Zena, Manny and Joe are in fact aliens in disguise - aliens who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the Pig. And so, one dark night, Barney finds himself battling for his life against three vicious life-forms, each equipped with incredible powers...]]>

    <![CDATA[  Barney’s stuck at a boring after-school job, earning money to repay his parents after their beach house is destroyed in a battle with aliens. Of course, they don't believe that aliens did the damage. No one, in fact, realizes that sixteen-year-old Barney saved the world by outsmarting the visitors at their violent game, Interstellar Pig. No one but the aliens—and for them the game is far from over. Barney is about to become the unwilling partner of a chatty intestinal parasite; the potential snack of giant, man-eating crabs; and the competitor of a stinger-happy seven-foot wasp woman. Life just got a lot more interesting....]]>

But now that Humphrey is fifteen, the one-time child prodigy isn’t able to get any more bookings. Sam’s mother refuses to accept that Humphrey’s career is over and devises a scheme to recapture his fame: Sam will compose “new works” by a long dead gypsy composer, and they will tell the world that the composer is dictating the music to Humphrey from the grave. The scheme is a wild success—until some ghostly occurrences convince Sam that the spirit of the dead composer has actually taken over Humphrey’s fingers. Have Sam and his family unleashed a force from beyond the grave?<br/>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

But then memories begin to surface, and when Tim suddenly returns, Leo knows they are in otherworldly, extraterrestrial danger.  The author's many fanswill find plenty here to please. ---- <em>Kirkus Reviews</em>  William Sleator is the author of many enormously popular science-fiction and suspense thrillers for young adults.

    <![CDATA[With a devious older sister who wishes he hadn't been born, eleven-year-old Chris needs some heavenly intervention. But when that help arrives in the form of a boltzmon--the all-knowing, shape-shifting remnant of a black hole--Chris is in even bigger trouble.<br/><br/>In this clever sci-fi twist on the genie tales of folklore, a young boy suddenly has access to more power than he can handle. The highly unstable boltzmon flips Chris at random to different worlds, including one of his own imagining. It is in Arteria, a country he has mapped out on his computer, that Chris has the chance to confront his sister, Lulu, and end their rivalry before it has deadly consequences.<br/><br/>A villainous older sister, a quantum physics genie with a weird sense of humor, and a sharp young hero--this Bermuda triangle of characters is at the center of a funny, frightening novel in the spirit of William Sleator's masterwork, <em>Interstellar Pig</em>.]]>
