While some are highly-regarded mystery writers, others are best known for their work in the fields of fantasy or science fiction.

When a wolf is found roaming the woods, Peter's grandfather warns him to stay at home. But Peter, who is mourning the loss of a parent, decides to venture into the deep, dark woods in search of this creature. This incredible retelling of the well-loved classic story, Peter and the Wolf takes children aged 7-9 on an adventure while exploring themes of love and loss. With its spellbinding punk rock illustrations, this book is a beautiful reminder that there is hope after loss and those we love most are never truly gone...In Prokofiev's original tale, Peter outsmarts the big, bad wolf, capturing him, and parading him victoriously around the town with the hunters. But this is not our ending and nothing is the way it seems. This extraordinary rendition of Peter and the Wolf echoes the message of courage that is so central to the famous classic, while gently introducing themes of loss, grief, and growing up and helping young readers to navigate them." -- Ages 8 to 11.

The Gestapo : the myth and reality of Hitler's secret police / by McDonough, Frank,1957-author.(CARDINAL)810664;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 274-295) and index.Becoming the Gestapo -- Gestapo men and methods -- Policing religious faith -- Hunting the Communists -- Denounce thy neighbour -- The racial war against the 'social outsiders' -- Persecuting the Jews -- The Gestapo on trial -- Glossary of German terms and organizations."Written with access to previously unpublished records, this is the fullest and most definitive account available on Hitler's secret police, the Gestapo. The book illustrates how, despite its material constraints, this group was able to extend its reach widely and quickly by manipulating and colluding with the general public during World War II, making ordinary German citizens complicit in the rendition of their associates, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. Though it was a powerful institution, it was not an all-powerful institution, and McDonough also relates the fascinating and underreported accounts of a cross-section of ordinary and extraordinary people who opposed the Nazi regime and its oppressive governance. The Gestapo will provide a chilling new doorway into the everyday life of the Third Reich and give powerful testimony from the victims of Nazi terror, while also challenging popular myths about the Gestapo and its inner workings."--Amazon.com.

"The Easy Life is the story of Francine Veyrenattes, a twenty-five-year-old woman who already feels like life is passing her by. After witnessing a series of tragedies on her family farm, she alternates between intense grief and staggering boredom as she discovers a curious detachment in herself, an inability to navigate the world as others do. Hoping to be cleansed of whatever ails her, she travels to the coast to visit the sea. But there she finds herself unraveling, uncertain of what is inside her. Lying in the sun with her toes in the sand by day while psychologically dissolving in her hotel room by night, she soon reaches the peak of her inner crisis and must grapple with whether and how she can take hold of her own existence. An extraordinary examination of a young woman's estrangement from the world that only Marguerite Duras could have written, The Easy Life is a work of unsettling beauty and insight, and a bold, spellbinding journey into the depths of the human heart."--

Six years in the Hanoi Hilton: an extraordinary story of courage and survival in Vietnam / by Hawk, Amy Shively,author.(CARDINAL)631040;
"I couldn't put this book down. In ten hours I cried through a box of Kleenex, laughed out loud, inwardly smiled, felt very nauseous, became extremely angry, then was filled with awe and gratitude. Six Years in the Hanoi Hilton should be required reading for every high school student in the nation. It is an American treasure, but then it was written about one. I am proud to have called Jim Shively a friend and I'm proud of his daughter. Amy is a gifted writer. Kudos to her for sharing her dad's story with the world." --Debra Wilde, former news anchor and journalist, Spokane "Six Years in the Hanoi Hilton is an outstanding tribute to a remarkable person. The story of Jim Shively truly shows off the best of the human spirit. Including the brutal, heartbreaking, and heroic six years he spent as a POW, this account also captures wonderful moments from his formative years, days as a fighter pilot, father, and family man. Amy has taken an extraordinary amount of history and detail and with wonderful storytelling has presented us the life of Jim Shively with a great deal of humanness and humor." --Ken Hopkins, program director and morning co-host of the Dave, Ken & Molly Show at 92.9 ZZU in Spokane "As a classmate of Jim Shively at the Air Force Academy and a lifelong friend, I am truly ecstatic that Jim's daughter, Amy, has written this book. My wife, Sandy, and I have spent many, many hours not just reading the book, but discussing it in considerable detail. I have not read any other book on the POW experience that impressed me to the same extent. I believe the reader will be greatly pleased and blessed by the absolutely wonderful rendition and research by Amy. Jim Shively was truly a gentleman and man among men, and I will never forget his terrible wounds staring us in the face each day from his heroic resistance. Obviously, by this outstanding book, it is clear his spirit, courage, and excellence remain with us on earth in his daughter, Amy, as well as with him where he is now. Thank you, Amy, this book has been a spectacular confirmation of my very highest opinion of your dear father and my dear friend. All the best to you for its wonderful success, which I believe will greatly bless our country in many, many ways." --Captain Guy G. Gruters, motivational POW speaker and author of Locked Up With God "Six Years in the Hanoi Hilton is not merely a story of war, captivity, and torture. It is the story of a special man, one of the best and brightest of his generation. Jim Shively's faith, inner strength, patriotism, and humility were the hallmarks of a truly great American. He was a man of character and dedication to service. It was my distinct privilege to know Jim Shively. We became friends relatively late in his life. He shared many memories, some about his captivity in Vietnam. But mostly Jim offered a perspective on life filled with a rare honesty and sincerity that made every hour with him an honor. Through the pages of this book, that honor is now yours." --Mike Fitzsimmons, award-winning radio and television journalist, news director, and talk radio host, KXLY Newsradio 920, Spokane "A wonderful tribute to a great man. This book is great for Vets, family or friends of Vets, and just about anyone who appreciates our servicemen. The stories in Amy's book are heartbreaking, frustrating, but also inspiring. I love Jim Shively and I love this book!" --Dave Sposito, morning co-host of the Dave, Ken & Molly Show at 92.9 ZZU in Spokane (WorldCAT)
