Book excerpt: A gripping YA sci-fi thriller by German and Spiegel-bestselling author, Karl Olsberg. The Boy in a White Room was nominated for Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2018, Germany’s most prestigious youth fiction award. A fifteen-year-old boy wakes to find himself locked in a white, cube-shaped room. No windows. No doors. Total silence. He has no memories. No clue how he got there. No idea who he is. A computer-generated voice named Alice responds to his questions. Through her, he is able to access the internet. As the boy uncovers snippets of his story -- an attempted abduction, a critial injury, a murder -- it becomes clearer. But when some of the pieces don't fit, how can he tell what's real and what's not? Who can he trust? And who is he really?

Book excerpt: From celebrated South African novelist and playwright Craig Higginson, an international literary tale of loss and love. South African playwright Hannah Meade arrives in London for the opening night of her new play. She has arranged to meet Pierre, the student she was in love with when she taught English in Paris. During their time together, they lied their way towards truths they were too young and inexperienced to endure. Perhaps this time they will have a second chance. As the reader is drawn from contemporary London back to Paris on the eve of the war in Iraq, the mystery of past events is brought to vivid life in a series of dramatic, intriguing and deeply moving encounters. Written in layered, stark prose, The White Room lays bare many of our assumptions about language, identity, memory, loss and love.

Book excerpt: Dancing in the white room is slang for skiing or boarding in deep powder snow. The dancer is PD Bell, one of the best extreme skiers on the planet. Mallory Prescott, the woman who lives with him and loves him, is used to Bell's exploits. A patrolwoman at Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid, New York, Mallory is no stranger to risk, but this time Bell is taking on the West Rib of Denali, highest and most dangerous mountain in North America. It's a descent that has never been done, though it's been tried. Five years ago, Bell tried it. The attempt nearly killed him. Five years ago he promised Mallory he wouldn't try again. Over the six weeks in which he's gone, Mallory begins to question her relationship with Bell. Does he really love her? Is he in it for the duration? What has loving him cost her? Mallory's life choices are thrown into stark relief when her daughter Emily takes a terrible fall. Together with her lifelong friend, Creech Creches, she must work her way through a maze of uncharted territory at a hospital miles from home. Dancing in the White Room is the story of the love we keep, the price we pay for that love, and the forgiveness it takes to hold on to what is precious.

Book excerpt: "...please excuse yourself and apologize for the inconvenience of your incontinence." Arianna thought she had a good job working at ALACARC with Carrie Ritter, but when the mice went missing she got called into the office and then found herself brusquely escorted to an unmarked vehicle and confined within four walls of a prison cell deep in the bowels of the Totenbett Police Department. One lone visitor in seven years' confinement, madness rampant and time-keeping the only thing available to sustain her, her jail-keep is a giant Rat Sentry well-armed with weapons of antiquity and constantly searching for signs of escape. Not that Ben is faring much better, but at least he has his dreams, where Clarisa and the Mouse King not only keep him company and provide companionship but, eventually, they claim to be able to provide a way out of his four-walled cell-and a way back to his beloved Arianna, whose inexplicable arrest was the reason Ben went to the Totenbett Police Department in the first place. Mrs. Muñez is sick and tired of what's been happening in her hometown of Totenbett-from turning the Muñez house into a tourist attraction to generate revenue to recent national attention regarding the children born there: Telekinetic, pyrokinetic, facilitating children-often enrolled in Baby Baby Daycare Center, administered by the Totenbett Children's Society and "legitimized" by the Arizona Society for Psychical Research. Nevermind that she's also been doing well for herself over at Quercus Arizona, expanding that business from being merely an arboretum to being a manufacturer of home goods and furniture, purveyor of fine lumber, and provider of oak jewelry, trinkets, and watches: Mrs. Muñez is determined to get down to the bottom of Totenbett's problems, especially now that she's dealing with an unlikely pregnancy of her own...

Book excerpt: Joe Secrist was born with a rare condition called coloboma, which means that part of the one or more structures inside an unborn baby's eye does not fully develop during pregnancy. A coloboma occurs in about 1 in 10,000 births. He was not diagnosed until his early childhood and was considered the clumsy boy who crashed his bike. This is Joe's story and his account of life during his years of abuse and neglect. Once sent away, his abuse continued at the Indiana School for the Blind. Joe has kept his silence until now. To come clean and tell his story of sexual abuse, struggle, and triumph, Joe wants his story to encourage others who have been failed by the system and to know their worth. Once told he would never achieve his goals, Joe went on to become a blind skydiving, martial arts champion, driving, EMT, triathlon. Today, he uses his disability to help others achieve their goals and dreams.
