Paper Things , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. There's just one problem - Gage doesn't actually have a place to live. When Ari's mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when eighteen-year-old Gage decided he could no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knew she had to go with him - even though she'd miss baking cookies with Janna and curling up to watch HGTV. What Ari didn't realize was that Gage didn't have an apartment yet. And now, two months later, he still doesn't. He and Ari have been "couch surfing," staying with Gage's friend in his tiny apartment, crashing with Gage's girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have listeners thinking about homelessness in a whole new way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kate Rudd.

Looking Through the Bent Back Tulips: John Lennon: The Secret Life of a Very Public Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
When I was five years old, my mother always told me happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. (John Lennon)Who was the real John Lennon? We all know the music and the basic story, but this wildly passive aggressive kid from suburban Liverpool with a huge chip on his shoulder was an unlikely model for the international pop icon to come. He first started bashing out banjo chords on an old guitar, without even the requisite number of strings as a teen. Young John was very close to his mother and auntie, loved cats, attended church services, did his schoolwork, and excelled at poetry and drawing, but he had something else, too - a wild uninhibited love of American rock 'n' roll.In this one-of-a-kind audio treasure by the world’s acknowledged foremost prolific Beatles biographer Geoffrey Giuliano, the real John Lennon is laid bare and a deeper understanding of his magnetic personality and timeless music emerges. Here is the perfect audio treasure for every committed Lennon fan, pop historian, casual listener, student of 1960s art and culture, curious commuter, as well as all school and university systems. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the real John Lennon! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/162215/bk_acx0_162215_sample.mp3.

In a minute everything changes. Fifteen-year-old Jenna Flood's discovery of a bomb ticking down from sixty seconds is the first in a series of explosive revelations that destroy her understanding of the world and her place in it. Jenna believes she is an ordinary teenager, busy with schoolwork and helping her father run a Key West charter boat. But when a team of killers shows up, intent on erasing her from existence, she learns the unbelievable truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Alone and on the run, betrayed at every turn, Jenna's path takes her from sun-drenched Key West to the alligator-infested Everglades, the streets of Miami, and the Caribbean islands. Along the way brutal criminals, deadly assassins, and the forces of nature conspire to end her life unless she can rise to embrace an impossible destiny and unleash her own lethal potential. Everything Jenna has been told about herself is a lie, and the truth is a secret that may destroy the world--or save it. Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis, the best-selling team behind The Brainstorm Trilogy, Prime, and Savage, have thrilled audiences with stories of science gone wrong and monsters on the rampage. Now they break new ground with a taut suspense thriller sure to appeal to fans of 24 and The Bourne Identity, with all the pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching action you've come to expect. ungekürzt.

A Very Different Game: Ferryl Shayde, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 952min
After the huge battle with a leech nest, Abel now has the key to Castle House, a big old house wreathed in lethal magic. But the key only opens the first door, leading him to the next clue. His friends want to help, but the house won't let them, and even the first puzzle needs sorcerer-level magic. Luckily, Abel has something up his sleeve or, rather, in his tattoo! Even so, he'll need another missing key, and a way through all the other doors before he can reach the mystery at the center and claim his heritage. Along the way, someone might work out just who or what a Fraggon is.Abel might make faster progress if sorcerers and an archbishop would be a little more helpful. Even his solicitor, magical of course, can't tell him what waits inside Castle House. Worse, magic isn't helping Abel very much with schoolwork, keeping magical secrets from his mum, or a new schoolgirl he likes much more than he ever expected. With so many Taverners mastering their basic glyphs, some begin to think that magic gives them privileges and power. Abel and his friends, backed by Ferryl Shayde, decide to set out some rules.It all seemed so simple, but as with most things magical, a big explosion is only a careless moment away. In a few frantic minutes, Bonnie's Tavern becomes a completely different sort of game! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Bunce.

Ants and Elephants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
Ants and Elephants is a story about a 12-year-old boy named Wil who is bullied by Big Mike. Wil admits to being afraid of Big Mike, who has threatened to stomp him. The guy is twice Wil's size and has buddies only too willing to help him beat Wil to a pulp. Chloey, Wil's girlfriend, will not allow him to be intimidated. This savvy young lady teaches Wil psychological techniques that will help him stand up to his enemy. Meanwhile Wil builds a tree house and stakes it out, skipping school until he's mastered the art of showing Big Mike who's boss. Chloey tells everyone Wil has tonsillitis, and brings his schoolwork to the tree house. Wil becomes a town hero when he rescues the old proprietor from a burning building. With his esteem at an all-time high, Wil returns to school. When Big Mike walks over to his table in the cafeteria, Wil doesn't blink. He tells Big Mike off without raising his voice, leaving the bully in a dazed stupor. I enjoyed the witty dialogue, including the friendship between Wil and Chloey. This story can be enjoyed by all ages, but it's especially geared to grammar and middle school-age children. The message Mr. Jordan conveys is constructive and needful. With the right mindset and technique, the blundering elephant is no match for the savvy ant. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Jordan.

The Silva Method: Tapping the Secrets of the Mind for Total Self-Mastery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 417min
Take a quantum leap toward leading a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled life! The Silva Method equips you with the tools you need to evaluate your productivity... increase your creativity...supercharge your problem-solving capability...and greatly exceed your goals. Award-winning Silva trainer Robert B. Stone teaches you how to enter the Alpha State - an inner conscious level of brain wave frequency. At the Alpha state, you'll activate deep states of accelerated mental activity, intuition, learning, memory, ESP, tranquility, rest, and relaxation. The inventor of The Silva Method, Dr. Jose Silva, was a successful businessman. He had various patents and had managed to build a thriving electronics business. He was all set for a nice, comfortable life. Then, in trying to help his children with their schoolwork, he experimented with various techniques. He discovered a remarkable fact: Geniuses use special levels of their mind, levels which we all can tap! You see, our mind is like a gearbox with many gears. Much like the gearbox of a car, each gear has a specific purpose. Which gear we are in is decided by the electrical activity in our brain. Most of the time, most of us are engaged in Beta gear. But your brain has another gear. A higher gear - called Alpha. Alpha has a slightly slower pulsation rate than Beta. In other words, if Beta is like driving a car in third gear, Alpha squeals the tires in sixth gear!PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
