Tending to the Past: Reflections of an American History Teacher , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
Florida native Jim McGinnis explores through narrative, essays, and poetry what it is that makes teachers like Frank Quinn so fiercely loyal to the art of teaching, so committed to their calling. This novel is a reflection on all that is good in the classroom, giving voice to the beauties, frustrations and truths that make up a teacher's day. Frank Quinn, a veteran American History teacher, has seen a lot in his day - promising students, apathetic students, lessons good and bad, endless mandates, and teachers that become legendary in their own right. Now in the twilight of his career, Quinn is struggling to navigate the ever-changing sea of educational reform being thrust upon teachers, trying to reconcile the current state of education with the experiences he's had and beliefs he's cultivated over his lengthy career. If you have any interest in public education, history, smart memoir, humor, political happenings, music, poetry, Florida's distinctive culture and landscape...oh and really good writing...this book is for you. ungekürzt.

The Female of the Species , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a dark and riveting contemporary YA novel that blends the unflinching honesty of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak with the relentless pacing and alternating perspectives of Gone Girl. A stunning, unforgettable listen. Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it. Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best - the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher's kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone. As their senior year unfolds, Alex's darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Not a Drop to Drink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
Regret was for people with nothing to defend, people who had no water. Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most important, people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty or doesn't leave at all. Confident in her own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby fields and forest. Having a life means dedicating it to survival and the constant work of gathering wood and water. And, having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles in hand. But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing: strangers. The mysterious footprints by the pond, the nighttime threats, and the gunshots make it all too clear that Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won't stop until they get it.... With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, debut author Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl's journey in a barren world not so different from our own. ungekürzt.

In a Handful of Dust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy's life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy's childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy's future is settled already - a house, a man, children, and a water source - and anything more than life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what's killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn's mind, and the prospect of a "normal" life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epic journey west to face new dangers: hunger, mountains, deserts, betrayal, and the perils of a world so vast that Lucy fears she could be lost forever, only to disappear in a handful of dust. In this companion to Not a Drop to Drink, Mindy McGinnis thrillingly combines the heart-swelling hope of a journey, the challenges of establishing your own place in the world, and the gripping physical danger of nature in a futuristic frontier. ungekürzt.

To Dance with Dragonflies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min
Life was simple for Kaity Jordan, which was just how she liked it. She lived alone in her grandparent's old, rundown house, but working as a barista, she was barely getting by. The peaceful moments for her was the time she spent watching dragonflies at the old Thaxton house and being in church. For Derek Mason, life was rushed and chaotic. As the owner of more than one multi-million dollar business, his main focus was on the bottom dollar and enjoying life. Money wasn't a problem for Derek, but loneliness and feeling like he has no purpose in life was. From the moment Derek saw Kaity on the sidewalk, he was intrigued. She didn't seem like the other women he knew. Her smile was contagious and honest. There was nothing fake about this woman. When he saw her gazing at dragonflies in his field with pure joy, he knew he wanted to get to know her. They were an unlikely pair. Him a billionaire and her a barista, but could it work? Could she show him how to find the joy she had? Was she the answer he had been looking for? Kaity didn't know it yet, but her life was about to change. ungekürzt. Language: English.

This Darkness Mine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
Mindy McGinnis, award-winning author of The Female of the Species and A Madness So Discreet, returns with a new dark and twisted psychological thriller - perfect for fans of Gone Girl and Fight Club. Sasha Stone knows her place - first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her Oxford-wearing boyfriend. She's worked her entire life to ensure her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved. But suddenly there's a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she's never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well - too well - when she doesn't know him at all? Sasha discovers that her by-the-book life began by ending the chapter of another: the twin sister she absorbed in the womb. But that doesn't explain the gaps of missing time in her practice schedule or the memories she has of things she certainly never did with Isaac. Armed with the knowledge that her heart might not be hers alone, Sasha must decide what she's willing to do - and who she's willing to hurt - to take it back. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Fourteen-year-old Linda lives with her parents in the beautiful, austere woods of Northern Minnesota, where their nearly abandoned commune stands as a last vestige of a lost counterculture world. Isolated at home and an outlander at school, Linda is drawn to the enigmatic, attractive Lily and new history teacher Mr. Grierson. When Mr. Grierson is charged with possessing child pornography, the implications of his arrest deeply affect Linda as she wrestles with her own fledgling desires and craving to belong. And then the young Gardner family moves in across the lake, and Linda finds herself welcomed into their home as a babysitter for their little boy, Paul. It seems that her life finally has purpose, but with this new sense of belonging she is also drawn into secrets she doesn't understand. Over the course of a few days, Linda makes a set of choices that reverberate throughout her life. As she struggles to find a way out of the sequestered world into which she was born, Linda confronts the life-and-death consequences of the things people do - and fail to do - for the people they love.
