Book Description
Nine-year-old Eddie has such a wonderful imagination that late one night he catches a Sandman who escorts him to Dreamland. Once there, he learns Mortimer has cast an evil spell on the Sandman's sand with one diabolical aim: to steal Eddie's imagination. Eddie's only hope to break the spell and get back home safely is to find the last good wizard in Dreamland. During that journey, he encounters many perils in his desperate race against time. All of this happens because Eddie is not asleep as he should be. Eddie is Wide Awake in Dreamland. Conjuring memories of such classics as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, John Duel's Wide Awake in Dreamland celebrates its 20th anniversary as a treasured favorite in the library of children's literature. From the whimsy of the clueless but well-meaning Sandmen to the terrifying Trogs, Wide Awake in Dreamland packs its page-turning story full of adventure. Booklist said "this rollicking fantasy has it all" and those words are as true today as they were when the book was first published in 1992. March 1, 1992 Booklist review: This rollicking fantasy has it all: an exciting plot, a likable hero, an evil warlock, a powerful wizard who's "just a girl," tiny sandmen who sound suspiciously like leprechauns, hordes of awful creatures, and a kindly giant who isn't tall. Nine-year-old Eddie has a terrific imagination. That's why he's able to catch Sandy, the sandman. Though initially shocked that Eddie can see him, Sandy recovers quickly and invites Eddie to Dreamland, assuring him that nothing can harm him as long as he's really asleep. Eddie accepts the invitation, but when the pair reach Dreamland, they learn that Mortimer, the evil warlock, has tainted the sleep sand so he can steal Eddie's imagination. The only one who can help Eddie now is the wizard Beni, and the expedition to find Beni results in one adventure after another. Middle-school fantasy lovers won't be able to put this book down, and older readers will also enjoy the puns and silly situations-even though Eddie is only nine. A wonderful read-aloud. -Chris Sherman "bright, original...swift and involving." -Children's Bookwatch "a spell binder... This is a fairy tale for children of all ages." -Abilene Reporter-News

Book Description
Hardcore is a man who is cloaked in violence yet suffocating within its dark folds. His chance for hope is stolen from him when he discovers his lover, Rebecca, dead from what the police believe is a supposed overdose. They would though, wouldn't they? An ex-junkie mob bitch-who gives a damn? He does, so using the only method he knows he blindly sets out for answers, whatever the cost, no matter who he has to hurt along the way. The trouble is his answers only lead to more questions. Further complications arise in the form of Stella and the opportunity of redemption she offers, making him question if he is even capable of escaping the shackles of his life. As the story weaves towards its conclusion and the final pieces begin to fall into place, will he like the picture that it paints-or will it reveal the truth behind Rebecca, her death and the people who surround him to be far more sinister than he could have ever believed?

Book Description
A chance to rewrite the past… but every change comes at a price. For Private Investigator Darren Camponi, it’s the offer of a lifetime: track down an old high school friend who’s on the run — and who just happens to be in possession of an extraordinary, and highly dangerous, piece of technology. Jason Caufield has stolen a groundbreaking device, one that allows the user to step back in time. Now, everyone is after him, from the government to powerful tech giants. And they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on it. Darren reluctantly accepts the job, but his mission is about to get personal. When Jason offers him a one-time chance to revisit his own past, Darren takes the plunge, only to land in the days just before his grandmother’s suspicious death — an event that has haunted him for years. But every small change Darren makes in his quest for answers alters the future in unexpected ways, weaving a complex web of consequences that threaten to trap him in a nightmare of his own making. With each choice he faces in the past, Darren finds himself entangled in a conspiracy that spans decades, where no one can be trusted and every action has a ripple effect. As he races to solve a murder in the past and unravel a deadly plot in the present, Darren must tread carefully… or risk losing everything he holds dear. Time Stand Still is a gripping mystery-thriller that explores the power — and danger — of second chances. Fans of time-bending suspense and high-stakes investigations will find themselves captivated until the very last page.

Book Description
An engrossing examination of the science behind the little-known world of sleep. Like many of us, journalist David K. Randall never gave sleep much thought. That is, until he began sleepwalking. One midnight crash into a hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep. In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of our lives. Taking readers from military battlefields to children’s bedrooms, Dreamland shows that sleep isn't as simple as it seems. Why did the results of one sleep study change the bookmakers’ odds for certain Monday Night Football games? Do women sleep differently than men? And if you happen to kill someone while you are sleepwalking, does that count as murder? This book is a tour of the often odd, sometimes disturbing, and always fascinating things that go on in the peculiar world of sleep. You’ll never look at your pillow the same way again.
