Secret ballrooms, hidden artwork and unlikely friends—welcome to the Regency, where even time moves in surprising ways!
Jake Simmons hates his new home.
The Regency is nothing more than floor after floor of peeling wallpaper and faded glory. Jake misses his old life. He misses the time when his mother was employed. He misses living in a house where the wind doesn’t make the windows whistle.
Loneliness (and a trail of kittens) leads Jake to the apartment of an elderly lady, then to the bowels of the building and then to a part-time job assisting Larry the custodian. With each passing day, the building reveals more of its mysteries to Jake. The occupants grow on him too.
Unfortunately, Jake’s feeling of belonging is short-lived: the city plans to demolish the Regency. Jake feels powerless. And then fate throws him a curveball. He’s summoned to apartment 713. An apartment he’s been told is off-limits. But when he opens the door . . . he travels to the past!
Alongside Beth, his new friend and guide, Jake begins searching for any clue that might help him save the Regency. As their friendship blooms, the mystery around the building’s makers deepens. The Regency’s own storied past will give Jake the key to saving his own future—if only he knows where to look.
Nach oben fallende Regentropfen? Atmende Steine? Eiskaltes Feuer? Unmöglich? Nicht im Universum der Unwahrscheinlichkeiten! Dorthin werden Anton und Marlene mit einer wichtigen Mission geschickt: Die Grenze zwischen den Universen hat ein Leck, und durchsickernde Unwahrscheinlichkeiten bringen die normale Welt in Gefahr. Anton und Marlene müssen die Welt retten. Zum Glück sind die beiden ein super Team!
Vergleichsweise harmlos: ein Geldautomat, der mehr Geld ausspuckt, als er fassen kann. Schon gefährlicher: das ständige Gefühl, beobachtet zu werden. Alarmierend: Immer mehr Kinder verschwinden, aber niemand scheint sich dafür zu interessieren. Unwahrscheinlich, dass es da einen Zusammenhang gibt? Anton und Marlene machen ihrem Ruf als Weltretter alle Ehre und kommen den tatsächlichen Tatsachen auf die Spur.
Antigravity Heroes is an exciting good-versus-evil battle between a brother-sister superhero team and the evil Mephisto. It is book #3 in the “Wanted: Superheroes” series.
In previous stories, our heroes, Eddie and Samantha Hertz, faced earthquakes and hypnotized zombie-like people. What could be worse?
Birds. Yes, birds. And lots of them. Eagles, hawks, owls, herons, and more. The villain Mephisto has hypnotized tens of thousands of them to do his evil bidding.
The situation gets even stranger. Our heroes have to battle gravity itself. Mephisto has stolen antigravity belts that allow him to fly. But the belts have a flaw, and he tries to force Eddie to perfect them. In the meantime, Mephisto uses the hypnotized birds to paralyze the city while he steals millions of dollars.
Against all odds, Eddie and Samantha, their mother, their Uncle Milligan, the new Damocles, and the eccentric Dr. Gilbert G. Godwin, work together to battle the hypnotized birds and their controlling master.
As usual, the entire world is in danger, and only the Hertz heroes can save it.
The plan was simple. Ethan Cheeseman, along with his three smart, polite, and relatively odor-free children, would travel back in time to end a family curse and save their mother. Now that the LVR (a super-secret time machine) is working, it's easy peasy. Except they didn't account for one basic rule of science: Murphy's Law - if something can go wrong, it will. The LVR crashes, with a meteor-sized hole in its roof. They've made it to 1668, but they're stuck in the middle of nowhere, without a way back home, and someone thinks they're weetches - er, witches. Could it get any worse? How about when they encounter a pirate ship, a haunted castle, and two mysterious visitors - one there to rescue the family, the other, mmm . . . not so much. Our trusty narrator, Dr. Soup, has a ton of unsolicited advice for listeners but not a lot to say to help the Cheesemans. Just this one thing: GOOD LUCK.

"They don't act much alike," says Mister.
Angus and Sadie are brother and sister. Angus is bigger. He is a good, brave, and clever dog -- and he likes that. Sadie isn't as quick to learn -- or to obey. When cats jump at her, she yelps and runs away. Angus thinks that means she's scared of everything. But Sadie isn't so sure that's true.
