Misfit's Magic: The Last Halloween

"A friendless, misfit boy unwittingly becomes a wizard and ends up having to save the town he is desperately trying to escape. Readers' Favorite Gold Medal, Benjamin Franklin Gold Medal, Booklife Editor's Pick, IR Approved, Kirkus: Get It 'I'm a Harry Potter fanatic. This was a wonderful book! Fell in love with the characters...I laughed and cried. I was hooked.' -Amazon Review All Goff wanted was for his essay on witchcraft to be good enough to win a scholarship to a private academy far away from Spraksville, the miserable, spooky little town he is stuck in. But, if he’d known that Spraksville’s history of witchcraft was more than just folklore, he never would have experimented with casting a spell in the cemetery at midnight as research to make the essay great. He ends up transformed into a wizard and becomes the mortal enemy of the most powerful dark wizard in centuries. Now it's up to Goff to stop him from performing an ancient ritual that will destroy the town and make this Halloween night the last night of freedom the world ever knows. Written for young readers of all ages, Misfit's Magic is a spooky, action-packed, feel-good book that children, adults, and entire families enjoy any time of year as a '...a gorgeous treat to fans of urban fantasy.' - The Book Commentary. “...you won’t put this book down...” A. Reynolds, Readers' Favorite “Epic. Two thumbs way up...this is one of the best books I have read all year…I would recommend this book to both adults and children alike…” Award-winning author M. A. Hernandez Jr. '…will delight fans of Harry Potter and Septimus Heap.” K. Zimmerman, Readers' Favorite"

Call Him Jack: The Story of Jackie Robinson, Black Freedom Fighter

"'Narrator Torian Brackett brings vocal gravitas to this biography of Jack Robinson, which dwells as much on the athlete's youth and post-baseball civil rights activism as it does on his groundbreaking career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It's a powerful, stirringly delivered account...' - AudioFile Magazine An enthralling, eye-opening portrayal of this barrier-breaking American hero as a lifelong, relentlessly proud fighter for Black justice and civil rights. According to Martin Luther King, Jr., Jackie Robinson was “a sit-inner before the sit-ins, a freedom rider before the Freedom Rides.” According to Hank Aaron, Robinson was a leader of the Black Power movement before there was a Black Power movement. According to his wife, Rachel Robinson, he was always Jack, not Jackie—the diminutive form of his name bestowed on him in college by white sports writers. And throughout his whole life, Jack Robinson was a fighter for justice, an advocate for equality, and an inspiration beyond just baseball. From prominent Robinson scholars Yohuru Williams and Michael G. Long comes Call Him Jack, an exciting biography that recovers the real person behind the legend, reanimating this famed figure’s legacy for new generations, widening our focus from the sportsman to the man as a whole, and deepening our appreciation for his achievements on the playing field in the process. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux."
