The Animals by Richard Grossman: “Consisting of 400 poems, this environmental bible is set in a mythical “field” where a shepherd engages in a series of discussions on a wide range of issues, both practical and mystical, with his flock of 200 different creatures ranging from an amoeba to a whale. Additionally, each animal tells its own intimate story in its own unique voice to the assembled group.” (October 2011)

The Chameleon Goggles (Book 2 in the Kraken’s Caribbean series) by Maureen O. Betita: “Captain Jezebel came to the Kraken’s Caribbean thirty years ago, a fiery young girl of fifteen with more nightmares than six adults. Born and raised on the capitalistic steampunk world of Novan, she left all the filth and terror behind to become a pirate captain with her own ship. And she flourishes in her new role. Until the day an offhand comment about a zeppelin in the sky above the bay of Tortuga brings all her fears to the surface.” (October 2011)

Spartacus and the Circus of Shadows By Molly E. Johnson: “When Spartacus Ryan ‘Poop Lip’ Zander finds his house destroyed and his wacko, Human-Cannonball mother missing, it’s obvious that she’s been kidnapped by Bartholomew’s World-Renowned Circus of the Incredible. But when his dad and brother refuse to believe it—because they’re morons, obviously—it’s up to Spartacus to be the hero.” (October 2011)
