Animals talk...if you know how to listen.Robin Calloway has always been special--a misfit who lives more in her own head than the real world. Even her father thinks she's crazy. So when her brother is found murdered, she's sent to a mental institution for observation. With the help of Dr. G, Robin begins to untangle memories of the killing, but is reluctant to admit the truth about herself: she can both hear and speak to animals, and this curse forces her to "sleepwalk"--or blank out--for most of her day.Fearing both the local sheriff and the label of schizophrenic, Robin escapes the hospital and flees into the Texas Hill Country during hunting season. To survive, she must not only accept her unique senses, but use them before she's hunted down by a killer desperate to hide the truth. A must read for fans of dark and disturbing suspense and psychic fantasy.

For children ages 3-8 years old. Philadelphia's history of rowing and Thomas Eakins paintings have inspired this children's story about Harry and his horse friends from the carousel who are learning to row. When the Coach asks Harry to be the cox and steer the boat, Harry is not happy. He thinks the Coach chooses him only because he is small. In a dream he meets Will who tells him that the cox is very important because he or she wins or loses the race. Harry listens and learns how to be a cox who wins. Real Life Notes describe the Philadelphia landmarks, events and the Thomas Eakins painting that inspired the story.
