And you thought your family was strange. I am dying. . . I might get the chance to know you before death takes me...I would like you to be my guest at Sommerset. . .I have enclosed a check for $ 10,000. . . Should you accept my offer... Uncle Silas has always been greedy, evil, insulting, and extremely rich! But a dying uncle with a vast fortune is definitely one worth getting to know. Even if it means spending 2 months on his secluded island home with a houseful of suspicious servants and a hungry pet crocodile. But what is Uncle Silas really up to? Will Adele, Milo, and Isabella outlive Uncle Silas to inherit his money? And just who is that mysterious "guest" in his basement? Is it worth the money (or their lives) to stick around and find out?

Beautiful and brilliant, eighteen-year-old Genesis Weatherby lives a charmed life as the clone of a long-dead silent film star. She is loved by her close-knit family as well as her two best friends, and being a clone isn’t so bad when everyone in the world is one too. Thanks to an organization known as GOD, there have been no Original births in one hundred and thirty years. In a successful attempt to eradicate cancer, GOD has taken control of human procreation, and only the human copies that are proven to be free of the once devastating disease are allowed to thrive. Genny never questions anything about her world, until she meets handsome and mysterious Nat Wilkinson. Now, she is forced to make choices that can alter the course of her life, as well as the lives of everyone on the planet.

Her death was just the beginning! Death guides usually have rather normal names like John, Mary, Harry, and Jessica. And even ones not quite so normal, like Bartholomew or Ambrosia. They also have the most interesting tales behind their deaths. But one particular death guide has a few problems: she cannot remember her name or the details of her demise, and thus has no story of her own. One fateful night, she meets a young girl that may change her death forever. Inspired by the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman, and in the style of children's tales of old, The Death of Death is a tragic, yet sweet little tale about loss and acceptance. Suitable for ages 12 and up.

The Quarantine had been running smoothly for over thirty years. It opened right after the antidote was discovered and the plague that had been destroying the world was finally stopped. Or so they had thought. Unfortunately, all children who tried the antidote died even faster. The whole culture of the country was now based on making sure the Quarantine was the safest place for children to live until they were able to have the antidote and leave.But all of that changed when a small girl disappeared from the Quarantine and her sister never stopped looking for her; no matter how hopeless or impossible the search was becoming...

In a world called Synn, magic is kept under tight control and a disease, known only as the Curse, threatens the lives of the people. Azaria, a seventeen year old healer, has spent her life working at an apothecary in the city of Tenera, quietly toiling away in hopes of someday being able to help her sick brother. An opportunity is granted to her when she is discovered to possess magic. She is forced to flee from her home, and the elven King who wants to use and contain her abilities for his own sinister reasons, but not before she hears rumors of a cure in a distant land. Since she cannot return home, her only option is to go forward, and find this cure. Finding the cure proves much harder than she ever imagined as she is sought after not only by the King, but by an embittered dark elf empress who is using questionable means to achieve order in the chaotic world. Caught in midst of a play of power, danger, and revenge between nobility, Azaria must gain the courage to find her own purpose and create her own destiny. She must learn to harness a great power of her own and make a choice that could change the world.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"One life will make the difference." Macey Holsinger has heard that promise for as long as she can remember. But it hasn't saved anyone yet, not even her little brother. Little is known about the disease, except that it’s a rapid and absolute killer. Countless lives have been claimed in the last hundred years, and government scientists are working hard to stop the spread through human experimentation. Testing has killed nearly as many people as the disease and, to Macey at least, it seems like they’re no closer to a cure. At sixteen, conformity to the government’s idea of “sacrifice for the greater good” is a difficult concept for Macey. Shocked by how many aspects of life the disease controls, she faces her own testing reluctantly. Macey feels alone as questions plague her about things that are simply a way of life for most. Questions no one else thinks to ask. Why is the quest for a cure reason enough to ban things like flags and freedom of expression? How can death be justified with more death? In the end, how much will the cure cost, and why is Macey the only one who thinks the price is too high? Answers evade her until she's left with only one question… How much will she sacrifice in the name of the cure?
