As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

Millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, Brian’s Winter, and Brian’s Return know that Brian Robeson is at home in the Canadian wilderness. He has stood up to the challenge of surviving alone in the woods. He prefers being on his own in the natural world to civilization. When Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and whimpering, he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as Brian cares for it, he worries about his Cree friends who live north of his camp. With his new companion at his side, and with a terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets out to learn what happened.

In Hatchet, 13-year-old Brian Robeson learned to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness, armed only with his hatchet. Finally, as millions know, he was rescued at the end of the Summer. But what if Brian hadn't been rescued? What if he had been left to face his deadliest enemy - Winter? Gary Paulsen raises the stakes for survival in this riveting and inspiring story as one boy confronts the ultimate test and the ultimate adventure.

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

This book had me cheering out loud when no one was around! I literally felt like I travelled back in time with his writing. Now I want to rewatch half the films of my 80s teenage life. I look forward to more writing from Kline.

You ask me if I can forgive myself? I can forgive myself. And so begins The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains, a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. This audiobook is brought to vivid life by the characters and landscape of Gaiman’s award-winning story. In this volume, the talents and vision of two great creative geniuses come together in a glorious explosion of color and shadow, memory and regret, vengeance and, ultimately, love.

Would you listen to The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains again? Why?
This may be the best short story, mystery-type thriller I have ever read so far. Clever and unusual. I will remember it always. I love the audio and the music paired with it. Neil's narrating is genuine. I think I will be reading more of his books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Main character
What about Neil Gaiman’s performance did you like?
The mood, character and color of his voice appropriately matches the need of the story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me gasp.

Life on the Waller plantation is harsh and bleak. Twelve-year-old Sarny knows that it won’t be long before she will be forced to leave Mammy and join the other young women who serve the master’s household as breeders. Then one day a new slave arrives, bought from an overseer for a thousand dollars. He comes in a bad way, walking in front of the horses and Waller’s ready whip. His back is covered with scars as thick as Sarny’s hand, but he holds his head high.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I loved this book! Being African American, sometimes it is difficult for me to indure slavery stories beyond a certain point. What occurred during American slavery was appalling and I find myself becoming so depressed I can not finish the story. I love that Paulsen's book includes the hardship of slavery without making the story too unbearable to stomach. It is honest, yet leaves a sliver of purposeful hope for Sarny through her hero of the story, Nightjohn. I look forward to reading more about Sarny as well as other Paulsen books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Nightjohn, because he sacrificed freedom to give more to others in bondage.
Which character – as performed by Michele-Denise Woods – was your favorite?
Sarny.
