His Illegal Self by Peter Carey - Audio Book


His Illegal Self by Peter Carey - Audio Book

"Che is a precocious young boy raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother. Yearning for his famous outlaw parents—radical 1960s activists who are now among the FBI’s most wanted—he’s denied access to television and the news. But he takes hope from his teenage neighbor, who predicts, “They will come for you, man. They’ll break you out of here.”

One afternoon, the prediction appears to come true. Soon Che, too, is an outlaw, fleeing into the subway and pitched into a journey that leads to a hippie commune in the jungles of tropical Australia. Here, Che slowly, bravely confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems."

Those Extraordinary Twins audio book by Mark Twain:



"Mark Twain's first draft of the tragic novel Pudd'nhead Wilson, this little book is a humorous tale about a pair of Italian conjoined twins/concert pianists and their effect of their arrival on the inhabitants of a small midwestern town.

There is a love affair, a duel, and a climactic courtroom scene, just as in Puddnhead Wilson, but in this book it's all for laughs..."

First Generation: The Story of Annie audio download

First Generation: The Story of Annie audio download

"First Generation is the story of great-great grandmother Annie, an iguana, who was brought to the United States from Mexico. It follows her capture, journey, and acclimation to her new home.

Young listeners will experience Annie’s feeling of loss and loneliness, her apprehensions and fears, and most importantly how she deals with these feelings, and overcomes perceived setbacks which are not actual setbacks at all.

I wanted to convey these important concepts in addition to many others, including being a first generation citizen, learning to adapt in a new environment, life away from family and familiar faces, remembering lessons and teachings, dealing with bullies and prejudice, and last but certainly not least...hope!"
