Riding the Rainbow (Children's Books)

1 chapters — updated May 13, 2015 06:38PM

Description: With two out, loud and proud mothers, plump and clumsy Lily is miserable in fifth grade. Across the room Clara sits still as a statue.

The Boxer Rebellion (Literature & Fiction)

1 chapters — updated May 13, 2015 06:34PM

Description: Sixteen-year-old Nick is relentlessly pursued and bullied. No one cares until one of his bullies becomes a psychotic killer, sucking everyone around into the nightmare.
