A New York City drama teacher risks her life to expose a potentially deadly public hoax in this “most uncommon thriller” (New York Herald Tribune). Olivia Hudson, a drama teacher at a Manhattan girl’s school, refuses to let her uncle John Paul Marcus play the role of dupe in a real-life revenge story. Uncle John is a beloved war veteran, a New York institution, and a hard-working philanthropist with an unimpeachable reputation. His mistake—an honorable one, at that—was disclosing the financial chicanery of industrial heir Raymond Pankerman, and it could cost John his life. Raymond has staged the perfect crime, and the perfect frame-up, to destroy the old man. He has everything he needs: a failed and penniless playwright who’d sell his soul if the price was right, a budding television starlet looking for a breakout role, and a susceptible public suckered into believing a supernatural swindle that’s making headlines. As a good man is taken down by the outlandish claims of an “otherworldly” publicity-seeking beauty nicknamed the Dream Walker, Olivia refuses to stand idly by—especially since she has the talent to outwit and outplay an actress at her own duplicitous game. Inspired by the mob mentality of the postwar McCarthy hearings, Charlotte Armstrong’s The Dream Walker (also published as Alibi for Murder) is both an ingeniously clever mystery of double-crosses and triple-twists, and a still-relevant cautionary tale about the irreversible consequences of tabloid journalism and the gullibility of the masses.

Be careful what you wish for . . . Becky Seville is excited when she finds her hard-to-buy-for family the perfect Christmas gift: a self-help book about using positive thinking to make dreams come true. All they have to do is write their greatest wishes at the front of the book and then follow the instructions. She even buys a copy for herself to get a date with her gorgeous new neighbor. Her family agrees that this year is going to be different; they are no longer going to let fear hold them back from achieving their goals. The Sevilles are on their way to having everything they’ve ever wanted—or so Becky thinks. But when everything starts going wrong, Becky realizes that just because you wish for something doesn’t mean you’re ready for the consequences of having it granted.

The Cat Who Chose to Dream shares the story of a cat's choice to be interned in a World War II internment camp as a gesture of loving support to the Japanese American family to whom he belongs. We witness through the cat's eyes the devastating condition of the camp as well as the sense of injustice he feels seeing his family go through this demoralizing experience. Young readers also share in the cat's triumph over feelings of hopelessness and anger, as they witness the cat's use of breathing and visualization exercises that help transport his creative mind to a place in his heart where he no longer feels encumbered and restrained, but self-empowered and free. Through the beautiful artwork of former internee, Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani, and the inclusion of therapeutic relaxation and visualization techniques, Child Psychologist Loriene Honda demonstrates how the imaginative mind can prove to be one's most powerful tool in surpassing adversity.

The absence of the angel of death, one of the most powerful celestial beings, had persisted for forty years. The resulting turmoil encouraged the demons of the covenant to unleash a dangerous plan. If they discovered Azriel's location and turned him to their cause, the tide in the eternal struggle between heaven and hell would shift significantly in their favor. If they failed, their own existence would most likely be forfeit. The difficulty of their search was amplified due to the fact that Azriel was also lost to himself with no recollection of his angelic form. Meanwhile, Aaron Todd, concurrently a youth pastor at a small Midwestern church and a logistics coordinator for a secret antislavery organization, wanted only to help those in need and keep his daughter safe. Thus far in life, he had been successful at both. As these two worlds collided, Aaron's dreams became a mix of horrific nightmares and arguments with demonic voices. In his waking reality, he was forced into a journey from Earth through the outskirts of hell. On this path, he would have to reunite with his loved ones and his own identity if he wanted to defeat the covenant and discover his own true purpose.
