In the first book in the exciting new Model Mystery trilogy, Nancy's friend Sydney is getting married, but things keep going horribly wrong at the wedding. Who would want to ruin her special day?
The blue box Elfangor used to create the Animorphs has been found by a kid named David. David has no idea what he has -- or what it can do. But Marco does. And when he sees David with it, he knows the Animorphs have to get that box. At any cost. But what should have been a simple plan ends up going horribly wrong. And David is on the run with the Animorphs and Ax. Now they have only two choices: turn David over to the Yeerks. Or make him the sixth Animorph.

The Gulag Rats
A page turning thriller about the wartime exploits of these prisoners freed from the Gulag on condition that they fought in the front line in punishment battalions, always given the most dangerous assignments with no retreat or the slightest wavering allowed. It's quite a horrific book, with killings and woundings on all sides graphically described, most horribly those of the Dirlewangers, an SS group of notorious criminals whose atrocities appalled even the head of the SS in occupied Poland.

The Shadow of the Wind
The time is the 1950s; the place, Barcelona. Daniel Sempere, the son of a widowed bookstore owner, is 10 when he discovers a novel, The Shadow of the Wind, by Julián Carax. The novel is rare, the author obscure, and rumors tell of a horribly disfigured man who has been burning every copy he can find of Carax's novels.
