Insanity (Susan Vaught)

Sinopse

Never, Kentucky is not your average scenic small town. It is a crossways, a place where the dead and the living can find no peace. Not that Forest, an 18-year-old foster kid who works the graveyard shift at Lincoln Hospital, knew this when she applied for the job. Lincoln is a huge state mental institution, a good place for Forest to make some money to pay for college. But along with hundreds of very unstable patients, it also has underground tunnels, bell towers that ring unexpectedly, and a closet that holds more than just donated clothing....When the dead husband of one of Forest's patients makes an appearance late one night, seemingly accompanied by an agent of the Devil, Forest loses all sense of reality and all sense of time. Terrified, she knows she has a part to play, and when she does so, she finds a heritage that she never expected. With her deep knowledge of mental illness and mental institutions, Susan Vaught brings readers a fascinating and completely creepy new book intertwining the stories of three young people who find themselves haunted beyond imagining in the depths of Lincoln Hospital.

Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll)

Sinopse da 
edição brasileira

O livro conta a história de uma menina chamada Alice que cai em uma toca de coelho e vai parar num lugar fantástico povoado por criaturas peculiares e antropomórficas. O livro faz brincadeiras e enigmas lógicos, o que contribuiu para sua popularidade. Lewis Carroll também faz alusões a poemas da era vitoriana e a alguns de seus conhecidos, o que torna a obra mais difícil de ser compreendida por leitores contemporâneos. É uma das obras escritas da literatura inglesa que tiveram mais adaptações na história do cinema, TV e teatro.

Help Me Jacques Cousteau (Gil Adamson)

Sinopse

"Help Me, Jacques Cousteau" presents the life and times of Hazel, who is born into an extraordinary family alongside her brother Andrew. Hazel’s experiences, at once odd and completely believable, involve a diverse cast of family members who share only one thing: a penchant for eccentric behavior. In portraying a strange, compelling, dysfunctional family, Adamson demonstrates her powerful prose style, uniquely combining a scientist’s loving attention to detail, a comic’s unerring delivery, and a poet’s sublime ear.
