This month’s Title:

The Freak II: Visions
By Carol Matas

The second book in the exciting new series The Freak Trilogy

Jade is having nightmares, again. It’s been a few months since the episode at the synagogue—a few months since she discovered her strange new “powers”—and she’s pretty sure that a dream is no longer just a dream. How else do you explain seeing someone in your sleep who ends up on the front page of the morning paper—the victim of a murder? And what happens when one of the intended victims turns out to be someone a little too close to home? This time, Jade is more than willing to use her abilities to solve the murder. But will she figure it out in time?

Looking for an adventure?

Ever thought of running away?

That’s what Sydney and Turk do in this fun new book, The Royal Woods, only running away isn’t at all what they expect! When the two siblings hop a freight train and ride West heading for the farm where their Aunt Lily and Uncle Frank live, they’re sure that life will be just as great as their memories of the summers they’ve spent on the farm. But when they arrive and find the farm gone and in its place a strange new subdivision called The Royal Woods, things seem to have taken a turn that even quick-witted Sydney can’t fix.

But rather than return home and admit defeat, Sydney and Turk embark on the adventure of a lifetime. With an eccentric wanderer and friendly gas station attendant as their only friends—and some neighbourhood bullies as their sworn enemies—the pair struggle to make a life for themselves in their odd new surroundings.
