Farsighted

Simmi Shergill's life is a mess. Her powers of psychic feeling are on the fritz, and Grandon Township's sudden population boom has brought quite a few unsavory characters to town. She also looks like an over-blown balloon in her size 14 pants, but not even starving herself seems to be working as a diet plan. Well, at least her boyfriend, Alex, loves her so much he'd do anything for her. Last summer he even risked his life to protect her from the mysterious boy everyone was convinced wanted to kill her. The problem is, she's not so sure she feels the same way. Is Alex really the man of her dreams? And why can't she stop fixating on her would-be killer, Dax? Whenever he's around, part of her wants to run screaming in the other direction while the other part longs to run into his embrace, no matter who she'd hurt or what she'd risk. Simmi's loyalty is on the line. Who will she choose-the blind seer who loves her, or the charming telekinetic with "bad idea" written all over him? Emotions run high as the tension mounts in book two of the Farsighted series.

A Bird Brain Book

Poppy the Proud

From the multiple award-winning author of the Bird Brain Books series, this lower grade mystery series is great fun for kids 7-11 years old. Evolved Publishing presents the third book in "The Pet Shop Society" series of mystery/detective stories centered around some young amateur sleuths and, of course, their parents' pet shop. Tyler Irving rules the roost at Monroe Middle School. Not only is he the star player on the winningest basketball team in school history-the '16 Monroe Falcons-but he's also managed to get and hang onto the high score for Clucking Zombies, not to mention the starring role in the drama club's performance of Bye Bye Birdy. So, because life can be funny sometimes, Tyler soon uncovers a fowl mystery of his own when two of the parrots at The Pet Shop Society's headquarters start squawking warnings his way. He wishes he could just ask the parrots what they mean, but they're trained to repeat-and what they keep saying over and over just doesn't make any sense: 'Look out. They're coming closer. Danger now. It's all over.' Can Tyler weave together the clues the birds have given him and solve the mystery before something terrible happens? Join Tyler and the rest of The Pet Shop Society gang as they decode the mystery of the Blabber-Mouth Birds.

Tyler and the Blabber-Mouth Birds

From the multiple award-winning author of the Bird Brain Books series, this lower grade mystery series is great fun for kids 7-11 years old. Evolved Publishing presents the second book in "The Pet Shop Society" series of mystery/detective stories centered around some young amateur sleuths and, of course, their parents' pet shop. Maddie Adams isn't your typical middle schooler. She'd much rather read about Amelia Earhart or Madame Curie than yet another fairytale princess finding her happily-ever-after with a dreamy prince. Yuck! She knows she'll change the world one day, just like her real-life heroes, so why not let that day be today? When a series of unexplained phenomenon start to take place around her home, Maddie turns to The Pet Shop Society for help. While her twin brother Mike is certain they're dealing with a ghost, Maddie is equally certain that there's a plausible-perhaps even scientific-explanation for the rash of missing objects, flickering lights, and other household mischief. With the boys too chicken to jump on the case, it looks like the girls will be handling this one. Join Maddie, Bree, and Nic for a sleepover gone very, very wrong, as they attempt to unravel the mystery of the Purrfect Crime. Be sure to check the rest of "The Pet Shop Society" series, including "Mike and the Dog-Gone Labradoodle," available now, and "Tyler and the Blabber-Mouth Birds," coming November 30, 2015.
