The Stranger Box, by Pamela Cuming, is a psychological thriller that is both shocking and entertaining. More importantly, it will keep readers turning the pages.

Picking up right where Gateways, Book I of The Elemental Chronicles left off, Victoria believes that she’ll be home tomorrow. After all, she defeated Ona, the mage who killed her father, and essentially saved the world. Or did she?
The Lycetta Legacy, Book One, by SJ Oaksley is a clever new addition to the young adult fantasy genre.
Alethea Cooper considers herself a practical and average high-school girl, if a world-class gymnast on her way to the Olympics. Sixteen and already focused on her career, her life takes a hard turn as a car accident leaves her wheelchair-bound. Through her slow and painful discovery she begins to learn that there’s more to life than just her career as an athlete, but also love, the joys of youth, and hideous green monsters that only her emergent superpowers and the unwanted guidance of an overly-knowledged doctor can keep at bay.
The second book in the Galadria fantasy trilogy, Galadria: Peter Huddleston & the Mists of the Three Lakes, follows Peter on more thrilling adventures. It starts off with Peter back at home with his father and stepmom. Once again Peter is in trouble with his stepmom and her nosy friends. Luckily for Peter, summer is upon him and soon he’ll be heading back to Hillside Manor, where he’ll continue his studies with his tutors to learn more about the golden realm of Galadria.
Peter Huddleston is an ordinary boy who lives in a dull town with his father and stepmother. No matter how hard he tries, he never fits in at school or at home. Peter, who is never without his trusty boomerang, moves from one blunder to the next until his father decides to ship him off to his aunt Gillian’s home, Hillside Manor, for a summer.
The final book in the Galadria fantasy trilogy is the shortest of the three novels but it packs quite the punch. Galadria: Peter Huddleston and the Knights of the Leaf starts right where the author left the readers hanging in the sequel. The previous book ended abruptly with a powerful cliffhanger, abandoning Peter in the midst of a battle with Knor of the House of Shadowray.
Dylan Prescott’s life hasn’t been easy. Her parents died in a car accident. A boy in middle school played a nasty trick on her. During her childhood she’d been the victim of pranks and rumors.
