Nine. Yes, that’s my name. I was inspired by the mysterious tattoo on my arm; BD-DC-009. I have no memory of who I am. I woke up in a stone cube of a room, no way in, or out. The only object in my prison is a tarnished, ancient mirror. With no clues as to what I am to do, I reach out and touch the mirror, which reflects a grey human-shaped creature. Words form in the air.Mirror of ChangeA device used to form me into what I am meant to be. I have found myself in a place called The Labyrinth. An endless realm, continuously changing, filled with carnivorous mushrooms and deadly traps.The only purpose that has been given to me was from smoky, translucent words that appeared in front of me.Escape The LabyrinthDisclaimer: This is not your usual MC.

She can't wait to see her dad, even though he's asked Bitsy to keep his visit from California a secret from his new wife.

Bitsy's best friend Gina has her back so she's cool with the labyrinth. Josie thinks it's lame. Dylan is clueless. And then there's Nick. Bitsy and Nick are buddies, but lately she's felt, well, something more. When tragedy strikes Bitsy's world, the unexpected happens. And much of it has to do with Bitsy's labyrinth.

The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic–and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil. . . .Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember–Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia.

Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces–and bring the Republic to its knees.From the Compact Disc edition.

Hal Franklin and his friends have made it safely into Miss Simone's world. As shapeshifters, some of them are looking forward to meeting their alternate kind. But others dread the prospect. Dewey, for instance, quickly feels the pressure of being a centaur. Meanwhile, Lauren and Hal are quaking in their shoes. The village in the north is under constant attack from harpies and dragons, and these vicious creatures must somehow be reasoned with and persuaded not to plunder and steal, and most importantly, not to eat humans! The trouble is, neither harpies nor dragons are interested in negotiating. Hal and his friends join forces to deal with these serious issues. They end up in the heart of dragon country, down in the Labyrinth of Fire beneath an oozing volcano. Somehow they must make the dragons see the error of their ways. Their quest forces them to question the extent of their shapeshifting abilities... and this leads to a shocking discovery that is likely to start a war.
