Can Christian foil her diabolical plans?<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since Queen Olympia's fateful fall into the river, newlyweds Christian and Marigold have been living happily ever after. And they had every intention of keeping it that way--until they find out that Olympia may not be as gone as they thought. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Turns out Olympia is alive and well in a faraway village, having lost her memory after her ill-timed tumble. But one day she awakes and remembers her previous glory as queen. Accompanied by Lazy Susan (Sleeping Beauty's slacker sister) and Stan Lucasa (a gentleman with a surprising destiny), Olympia returns, determined to take back the kingdom. Yet, thanks to a cast of familiar characters, grabbing the throne may not be as easy as Olympia thinks! <br/>          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Full of zany humor, this highly anticipated sequel to <em>Once Upon a Marigold</em> will be welcomed by fans everywhere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Jean Ferris gives the tried-and-true coming-of-age story an unusual and  refreshing twist with this young adult novel about a high school senior who is  the only &quot;hearie&quot; in his deaf family. Frustrated daily by his family's demands  and depressed by the silence that dominates his house, Theo seeks solace with  thoughtful, purple-haired Ivy. Ivy, also the hearing child of a deaf parent,  understands better than anyone what Theo is going through. But after his dad  suffers a stroke, Theo fears that his wants and needs, especially concerning Ivy  and college, will be swallowed whole by the responsibility of caring for his  egotistical artist mom and clingy younger brother. Does Theo have the strength  to change his fate? By turns both comical and gut-wrenching, <em>Of Sound  Mind</em> joins the ranks of other stellar quirky teen boy novels like <em>Rats Saw God</em> and <em>Tribute to Another Dead Rock  Star</em>. (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Grubstake is a grubby down-on-its-luck mining town filled with grubby down-on-their-luck miners. So when a decidedly nongrubby city slicker shows up and offers to buy the tapped-out mines, the miners are sorely tempted. But not Arley, the brash sixteen-year-old girl who runs the boardinghouse. No, Arley smells a rat. What could some fancy-britches rascal want with empty mines? Is there more in those desolate pits than the Grubs realize? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like Jean Ferris&#8217;s popular <em>Once Upon a Marigold,</em> this lighthearted, endearingly goofy story is packed with quirky, lovable characters and piercing insights.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Inspired by the author's work in a girls' rehabilitation center. </strong><br/><br/>Ray called it skating when we did the crazy things . . . Hot-wiring a fancy car for a joyride after midnight. Boosting stuff from stores . . . <br/><br/>Sixteen-year-old Dallas loves the rush, the excitement of &quot;skating.&quot; But then she and her friends decide to rob a convenience store and it's Dallas who gets caught while the others get away. Since it is her first offense, she thinks her father will help her out - but when the judge says she can go home on probation her father says no, he can't control her. So the judge gives Dallas six months in the Girls' Rehabilitation Center. Once there, Dallas meets an assortment of &quot;bad&quot; girls, many of whom don't expect to change, and those who do often don't make it. How Dallas comes to terms with herself - both the bad and the good - makes for a heartfelt and insightful novel about troubled teenagers and the odds they face in trying to turn their lives around.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 1839, visitors from miles around come to Kentucky to tour Mammoth Cave. But sixteen-year-old Charlotte, the maid at Mammoth Cave Hotel, doesn&#8217;t understand its appeal. As a slave, she is already trapped, and she doesn&#8217;t see the point in risking being trapped underground as well. Still, she&#8217;s curious when Stephen Bishop, another slave who is the cave&#8217;s expert guide and chief explorer, makes some big discoveries underground, and she&#8217;s interested in Stephen himself, with his quick mind and kind ways. Then Charlotte makes a discovery of her own: runaway slaves sometimes come to the hotel seeking refuge. As she helps them, she wonders if she should run away. Stephen, on the other hand, feels that he belongs with the cave and that he is free enough when he is underground. When an opportunity presents itself, Charlotte must decide whether she should stay with Stephen or risk everything for her own chance at freedom. <br/> <br/>In this compelling novel, two young people explore what sorts of freedom they can find, even as slaves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Each ride on the bucking bull is a lesson in pain. Each landing on the packed dirt is a jarring reminder of reality. Rodeo camp is a tough way to spend a summer, but John is having the time of his life. No clingy girlfriends, no nagging moms, no annoying sisters. Just him and the guys and the biggest bulls he's ever seen. All he has to do is stay on a bull for eight seconds. It may feel like an eternity to his aching body, but for once John feels in control of his own fate. Then he learns his new rodeo buddy Kit is gay. Shaken by the news, he tries to deal with the other guys' reactions and his own self-doubts.<br/>Suddenly, riding a bull seems easy. . . .<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
