Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The powerful story of a boy's fear and courage in the face of a force of nature too huge to even imagine. Based on Hurricane Mitch's devastation of Honduras in 1998, Terry Trueman's acclaimed Hurricane is a gripping, realistic story told from the perspective of a hurricane survivor. After hours of cowering in the dark with no lights, no warmth, and the terrible noises of the rain and wind pounding on the walls, José walks out his front door and steps into a nightmare. Everything is gone. Everything except for the desperate courage of those who survived that terrifying night. But his nightmare has only begun as he and the few who are left in his small village dig for survivors, search for food and water, and try to start pulling their lives back together. When everything is gone, how do you find the strength to start over? Based on a True Story: Experience the harrowing events of Hurricane Mitch, which devastated Honduras in 1998, through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy. Coming of Age: With his village destroyed and his father and siblings missing, José must discover a strength he never knew he had to lead his community. Heart-Pounding Survival: From the terrifying roar of the storm to the silent, muddy aftermath, this is a minute-by-minute struggle for food, water, and hope. The Power of Community: Witness how a handful of survivors, neighbors turned family, come together to rebuild their lives from nothing.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. How sick is this: I'm the major jock-stud in high school, but my brother has the brain of a badminton birdie and a body to match. I've got everything and he's got nothing. I'm a three-year, three-sport letterman and Shawn can't even stand up! Like I said, sick, huh? It's hard to be a brother to someone who doesn't even know you're there. How can you talk to him when he can't understand a thing you say? How can you listen to him when he can't speak a word? How can you love him when he's so messed up, he can't love you back? And how can you have a life of your own when your father bailed on the family, leaving you to be the "man of the house"? Fueled by rage at what has happened to his family, Paul is ready to explode. And he is haunted by something even worse--something he can never tell anyone. It is something he will have to face if he is to have any hope of a future at all. While Cruise Control is a companion to Terry Trueman's Printz Honor book, Stuck in Neutral, it is the completely independent story of a family's "other" son--the one who is healthy, gifted, normal. It is a courageously hopeful story told with power, compassion, and humor.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. WORTH THE WAIT Ella Tipton is a survivor. In the wake of an attack that left her nearly dead, she's spent each day since reclaiming her life and holding on to her hard-won lessons. While that doesn't include romance, it doesn't mean she has to stop sneaking looks at Mister Tall, Dark, and Tattooed. Security professional Andrew Copeland is no stranger to women, but the nervous flush he gets every time he talks to Ella is different from anything he's known before. Determined to help her--and to get close--he offers her hands-on training in self-defense. The prospect of being able to touch him and regain her sense of security is more than Ella can resist. Soon Cope reignites something deep inside her--something that could turn them both inside out.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In baseball, fielding your position at third base is tricky--that's why third is called "the hot corner." You have to be aware that anything can happen at any time. This should be the best year of Scott's life: It's his last season of varsity ball, his team is about to go to the city championship, and a pro career is on the line. Instead, everything he always counted on comes crashing down at the same time, and his whole life is like one blazing hot corner--full of deadly line drives and crazy "bad hops." Scott can't believe the awful stuff coming his way, but it's time to find out whether he has what it takes to play the hot corner--on the baseball diamond and off it.…
