Hunting Annabelle


Book Description

“Her scream echoes in my memory. I know what happened. Whether anyone believes me or not, I know.” Sean Suh is done with killing. After serving three years in a psychiatric prison, he’s determined to stay away from temptation. But he can’t resist Annabelle—beautiful, confident, incandescent Annabelle—who alone can see past the monster to the man inside. The man he’s desperately trying to be. Then Annabelle disappears. Sean is sure she’s been kidnapped—he witnessed her being taken firsthand—but the police are convinced that Sean himself is at the center of this crime. And he must admit, his illness has caused him to “lose time” before. What if there’s more to what happened than he’s able to remember? Though haunted by the fear that it might be better for Annabelle if he never finds her, Sean can’t bring himself to let go of her without a fight. To save her, he’ll have to do more than confront his own demons… He’ll have to let them loose. A chilling, deeply suspenseful page-turner set in the 1980s, Hunting Annabelle is a stunning debut that will leave you breathless to the very end.

Annabelle and Aiden in the Story of Life


Book Description

In this inspirational storybook written in rhyme, Annabelle asks "Why do we look, the way that we do? With hands and feet, in neat sets of two? What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body, from my head to my toes?" A wise owl answers with the amazing story of Darwinian evolution, and perhaps more importantly, what we can learn from it: to be kind to one another, as we are all related in the same family tree.




The Good Ship


Book Description

In the middle of the Atlantic, a doorway opens. Through this doorway is an island explored only by those still trapped here. Thirteen-year-old Annabelle Cross has traveled this stretch of the ocean before. In her memories, there has never been an island here. Beyond the shore in the black woods, she will find a group of children who teach her everything the island offers to those chosen to stay...forever. The children have important rules. First, no one is allowed to leave the treehouses at night because the shadows will take you to places unknown. Second, no one should ever wander into the woods alone because the paths have a strange way of changing behind you. These are two basic rules Annabelle can't seem to follow. There is the hope of escape for those eager to take it. A massive project is being built deep in the island, hidden away from those holding the children here. This insane plan will either get them killed or set them free, but this is the ultimate answer to find their way back home.




Saints and Avengers


Book Description

Eccentric, ironic and fantastic series like The Avengers and Danger Man, with their professional secret agents, or The Saint and The Persuaders, featuring flamboyant crime-fighters, still inspire mainstream and cult followings. Saints and Avengers explores and celebrates this television genre for the first time. Saints and Avengers uses case studies to look, for example, at the adventure series' representations of national identity and the world of the sixties and seventies. Chapman also proves his central thesis: that this particular type of thriller was a historically and culturally defined generic type, with enduring appeal, as the current vogue for remaking them as big budget films attests.
