Sing Them Home Sing Them Home
by Kallos, Stephanie
I have goose bumps just thinking of how much I loved Sing Them Home. Stephanie Kallos is an original, brilliant storyteller of the highest ranking, and I am in awe of her talent. Watch out Tyler, Irving, and Russo, because the competition has arrived. More, please!

The Terror
by Simmons, Dan
"Skillful writer Dan Simmons has reached new heights as he puts you in the story with the doomed Franklin expedition, which tried to find the Northwest Passage in the late 1840s. Simmons gives us fully realized characters, riveting action scenes, and mutiny and treachery galore, along with generous jolts of, well, pure terror. I couldn't put The Terror down." --Frazer Dobson, Park Road Books, Charlotte, NC
