The only thing Maddy Young knows for certain is that he died. As Two's newest public defender, Maddy's first case is to defend a man accused of killing three scientists. Three Historians. But there is more to Maddy's client than meets the eye. He is a Born. A protector of the Pure. Soon, Maddy finds himself embroiled in a war for all the world's memories and he begins to doubt the only truth he knows. Did he really die? Excerpt from Chapter One:"How did you die?" I turned my head. The girl couldn't have been more than seven. She had light brown hair held back in a ponytail. Her nose was dusted with light freckles, her cheeks as well, only not as densely as the freckles on her nose. She waited a second for my response, then said, "I went into diabetic shock." I nodded, like this wasn't the craziest thing I'd ever heard. She continued, "I have an uncle here. Uncle Trent. He died in a car crash when I was five. I'm supposed to go live with him I guess." She wrinkled her nose. I had a feeling she didn't like Uncle Trent. Maybe Uncle Trent was like my Uncle Bill. Maybe Uncle Trent liked to make up stories after ten cans of Miller High Life, then get pissed off when you told him he was full of shit. "So how did you die?" She came again. This was the hundredth time I'd been posed that question in three days. How did you die? It was yet to lose its level of absurdity . . . In three days, there hadn't been many answers, only promises that in time everything would make sense. The only answer, the only definitive that anyone would share, the only time anyone would look you directly in the eye was when you asked them if you died. They wouldn't waver, they wouldn't blink, they would only nod their head and say, "Yes."
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.
Who was Cinna? What do the hawthorn and primrose symbolize? Or President Snow's roses and Peeta's bread? What about Katniss's last name? Bringing details from myths, herbal guides, military histories, and the classics, English professor and award-winning pop culture author Valerie Estelle Frankel sheds light on the deeper meanings behind Panem's heroes and villains in this hottest of YA trilogies. In her series, Collins not only weaves a heroic tale of deep complexity but harnesses the power of Shakespeare and Rome to retell an ancient epic of betrayal, violence, and glory on the stage of an apocalyptic future. The perfect treat for fans of all ages. Everything Hunger Games, packed into one volume. From Alma Coin to Wiress you'll learn about? Why roses are a flower of death? How eighteen of the characters are used in Shakespeare's plays? Katniss's nickname Catnip? The meaning of "The Hanging Tree"? Peeta's pearl and Katniss's salvation ? Effie the saint and Finnick the Irish hero

An eleven year old boy wakes up in a bedroom. He doesn't know where he is and doesn't remember who he is. He finds a very strange household whose members insist he is part of their family. When the creepy dad starts asking him strange questions, the boy notes his observations in a journal, to solve the puzzle of his very peculiar situation. A mystery with twists and turns Dan Brown would admire. Editorial Reviews:From Stacey Turner, of The Author Spot(http://staceyturner-authorspot.blogspot.com/)"For a very entertaining, quick read- look no farther than The Strange Journal of the Boy Henry. It's compelling, amusing and entertaining all in one. Let's face it, good writing is good writing regardless of the age group it's intended for. Fans of suspense & intrigue will really be pleased."From Nordic Reader's Ingmar Berglund:"A now commonplace idea made new; a complex plot laid out in simple detail. Henry's Journal is one hell of a read." Excerpt:Entry 1I was woken, this morning, by a man's voice. "Time to get up, son," is what I heard, over and over. So I opened my eyes and saw him. He was sitting on the bed, staring down at me. "You sleep okay?" he asked. And he smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder. "My little prince," he continued. "You sleep okay?" I didn't know how to answer him. Because I didn't know this man. I'd never seen him before in my life. He had black hair and a mustache and light blue eyes. His skin was very pale. Almost pinkish, like he'd just taken a bath. He had big hands and long arms. "You sleep okay?" he asked me again. "I think so," I told him. "Well, time to get up. You and your brother both." And he looked across the room, so I looked there too. I saw another bed with a boy about my age. He wore blue pajamas, and was laying on his stomach; but his eyes were on me. His head was shaved all around the bottom, leaving a brown clump on top. And I didn't know him either. "Where am I?" I asked the man. "Home, of course," the man said. "Where else?"I didn't have an answer for him. I wanted to panic. Am I crazy? Or was he? What if he was? I better just play along, I decided."Let me know if you start feeling faint or dizzy, Henry," the man said.Henry. I'm pretty sure that that's my name. "You've been ill," he said. "Anyway, I'm making breakfast and you're gonna like it." He rose, and I saw that he was tall. He sighed and smiled at the same time, then left the room. The boy stared at me and I stared at him. It was weird. We just looked at each other for like a whole minute. Then he got up and walked out too. I looked around at the room. The walls are a light blue, and there's a map of the world, another of the universe, and a Periodic Table. There's also a picture of a sword and a shield. A round window hangs above the boy's bed. The glass is blurred, so you can't really see anything outside. You can only tell that there's sunlight. Aside from our two beds, there're two desks.I didn't know this room. I tried to remember what my room should be like. What my dad should look like. And my brother - the man had said the boy was my brother. When did I have a brother? I couldn't remember. It was all blank. I wanted to scream: where in the world am I??I made a decision to not freak out. Really I just needed to think about this rationally. *Author: San Alini A mere simpleton fumbling through life's many mysteries. He writes screenplays and children's books because he didn't know any better. He lives not too far from you, and draws cartoons and tries to make the best of things.
