#readON - VMA - Survival and challenging topics

If you like Odd Thomas or CBS's Ghosts...

Veronica Wilson's whole life is behind her. That's what she realizes as she stares down at her own body with its hideously broken neck and no memory of how it got that way. What was supposed to be a routine haunted house investigation quickly turned into anything but.

Cut off from the land of the living, imprisoned in a house with secrets far darker than she'd imagined, Ron's only hope is her sister, Chris, who has a gift for seeing the dead. If only she can get a message out. But something is keeping her from reaching her sister. Something dark and malevolent. Maybe the something that killed her.

#readON - MA - Survival and challenging topics

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother’s infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present.

At first consumed by despair and self-pity, Brian slowly learns survival skills—how to make a shelter for himself, how to hunt and fish and forage for food, how to make a fire—and even finds the courage to start over from scratch when a tornado ravages his campsite. When Brian is finally rescued after fifty-four days in the wild, he emerges from his ordeal with new patience and maturity, and a greater understanding of himself and his parents.
