Ben was just a young boy living in a small town; but, already had a life that was less then perfect. Just a normal boy that wanted to play and be happy; however, he could never find that sanctuary. Between the constant teasing, the lack of compassion, or the lack of protection from teachers -Ben was all alone in school. Home was just as isolated with his abusive and drug addicted parents that offered nothing but neglect. He was always alone. Until one specific night, when what remained of that little boy's innocence was ripped from him. Like the devil stealing a soul. Laying in bed one evening, he could hear his parents fighting upstairs. He hated it when this happened because he always feared that one of these times his father would kill his mother, and than come for him. He would just lay there, sinking into the mattress as deep as possible. Eventually the screaming and fighting stopped, and it went silent long enough for him to fall asleep. But this night was different. It was the night that changed everything. The night where a little innocent boy was lost for good, and, a monster was accidentally created.

As one of Frankenstein’s Creatures, Natalie Gray knows that unique parts sometimes make up a great whole. Still, leading a diverse support group for monsters—now including Cthulhu!—isn’t an easy task. Especially not since the internet arrived. New York City embraces the different and the bizarre. Still, even for such a fun-loving city, the supernatural and monstrous might be a bit too much. It’s been six months since the members of “Club Monstrosity” overcame the most recent spate of anti-monster violence and they’ve reestablished their routine of meeting in a church basement once a week to (ugh!) talk about their feelings. Still, they also know a war against them is brewing. Natalie and Alec (the werewolf) have begun dating, and the mummies Kai and Rehu are tighter than a bug in a…well, bandage. But when modern means (YouTube, Twitter, bits and bytes) are used to chilp away at the solidarity of these ancient monsters, it’s up to Natalie to save the day. #MonstersInNewYork may be trending on Twitter, but this girl’s trending toward saving the day…somehow.

After Lawrence’s death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn’t take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd’s feisty new matriarch Frankie didn’t like her. In this heart-warming and moving book, Françoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue center a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house, and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos, and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she’d had Frankie wrong all along. Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in My Kitchen is a captivating and gripping read.

One should never underestimate the breadth of a child's imagination. From dreams of grandeur to fears of monsters lurking in unsuspecting places, a child's mind operates, in many ways, on a different level than adults. There's A Monster In My Popcorn provides an example of the power of the imagination while giving a riveting story about a little girl whose imagination runs wild. There's A Monster In My Popcorn depicts the events of a typical Saturday morning for any child: watching cartoons, crafts, coloring, and snack food. However, when her bowl of popcorn appears to be moving, young Claire's ordinary Saturday morning becomes filled with disorder, fear, and worry of a monster living on the inside of her popcorn bowl. "I know it's probably big and green and fuzzy with two big eyes and two smelly feet just like I watch on TV," she exclaims. With the reassurance of her mother, Claire confronts the popcorn monster of her runaway imagination while revealing greater life truths. The story serves as a reminder, to children of all ages, that things are not always as bad as they might seem at first glance. Furthermore, it reveals important lessons that one can find joy and peace in each of life's stressful experiences.
