Book Description
Geoffrey Downs seems to be ageless. His biography would suggest it, but when an automobile accident puts him in the hospital, he realizes his vulnerability. He seeks out an investigative book author to help find his origin. She is highly skeptical but finds herself in a lengthy interview with him that triggers her curious mind. She begins a search that evokes more and more intrigue. At an old Catholic orphanage in Worcester, England, she finds another clue. But now she needs his help that involves travel to England and France. The charm of Paris throws them into a romantic affair. They try to disregard it so they can pursue answers, but their attraction for one another is always waiting in the shadows. Again, they go back to the abbey where secrets live only as myths to be passed from one generation of nuns to another, always keeping alive the mysterious arrival of six babies at their doorstep three hundred years ago. A message is revealed at the orphanage that six babies were mysteriously left at the orphanage some three hundred years ago. So is there another world like ours? Are there more ageless persons like Geoffrey? Sarah is determined to find out. She scours England for months and returns to Chicago empty-handed. Then a very unusual source discovers another ageless person.

Book Description
Inside the closed community of Borough Park, where most Chassidim live, the rules of life are very clear, determined by an ancient script written thousands of years before down to the last detail-and abuse has never been a part of it. But when thirteen-year-old Gittel learns of the abuse her best friend has suffered at the hands of her own family member, the adults in her community try to persuade Gittel, and themselves, that nothing happened. Forced to remain silent, Gittel begins to question everything she was raised to believe. A richly detailed and nuanced book, one of both humor and depth, understanding and horror, this story explains a complex world that remains an echo of its past, and illuminates the conflict between yesterday's traditions and today's reality.

Book Description
* "Mott’s deft prose and well-written characters will keep readers engaged from start to frightening finish. This is the perfect read for people who love the chill of terror running down their backs." —School Library Journal (starred review) A delightfully creepy story perfect for the middle school set! Hush-a-Bye is an old, broken doll found by Lucy and her sister in the woods. It seems to possess extraordinary powers, but will it use them for good or evil? Like most kids with younger siblings, Lucy loves her sister Antonia, but is all too frequently annoyed with her as well. The two spend most of their time together since their mother works so hard, but without friends Lucy can't help but feel lonely anyway. She's always tried to ignore the bullying and teasing at school about her family being poor--it's always best to keep her head down and do nothing. When the girls find an old, muddy doll head in the river, Antonia claims it as her newest treasure. At night Lucy hears her talking to Hush-a-Bye--and does she hear the doll talking back? Soon, Hush-a-Bye seems to be protecting Antonia by making bad things happen to others, and it isn't long before Lucy asks for its help against her tormentors, too. Slowly Hush-a-Bye's influence forms a wedge between the sisters, and Antonia's dependence on it becomes frightening. The doll has a mind of its own, and soon it will have Antonia's as well. Can Lucy solve the mystery of Hush-a-Bye to stop its evil plans?
