Publisher's summary
There’s more to the swamplands than meets the teeth. In this supernatural tale of magic and mysticism, Henry Lemarchand grew up in Philadelphia knowing very little of his family—his father disappeared when he was young, leaving behind only a strange pouch of animal teeth. When he is sent to the Louisiana bayou to spend the summer with his eccentric uncle and cousin in their decaying ancestral mansion, Henry learns about his family’s supernatural legacy—he is part of a long line of rootcrafters, folks who can absorb the powers and memories of anyone whose teeth they touch. In delving into his family’s strange legends, Henry soon discovers that some secrets bite back, especially in the swamplands. This tale of identity awareness and the need for belonging, is set in a world where everything is not as it seems.

Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

A week of softball, sprinting, and sweaty socks isn't exactly Amelia’s idea of a good time - in fact, she's deeply, appallingly unathletic. By the end of day one, she’s puked her guts out in track, gotten a black eye in no-contact flag football, and firmly established herself as the Least Valuable Player at camp.

A Sneak Peek of House of Teeth
A city boy in a supernatural swamp
Henry, a troubled 12-year-old boy from Philly, is sent by his mother to the Louisiana bayou to reconnect with his deceased father’s family in the hopes that spending more time with his relatives will help him find himself. As it turns out, Henry’s lineage proves to be supernatural: he’s part of a long line of rootcrafters, those who can absorb the powers and memories of anyone (or anything) whose teeth they touch. Eww, right? But this admittedly weird conceit ends up being both functional and fantastical; Henry not only wins the speed of an eagle and the strength of a bear by touching ancient talons and teeth, but also a deeper sense of belonging by connecting with his ancestors’ memories. This is well-told a tale of identity and belonging set in a world entirely unlike any other.

A comment
This was a free book for me so I thought I would give it a listen. I'm almost sixty and this book was clearly written for a younger audience. Guess what, it drew me in and I couldn't turn off my phone while I was at work listening to it. very good story. Do we really ever get old, just a thought.

Old non fiction guy enjoying this
Preface; I'm an old guy mostly into WWII and other war stuff. And other non fiction, mostly history.
I had a lull in listening to books for a month or so, and responded to an email suggesting these free titles. So I clicked.
I listened to several samples before settling on this one. And I'm glad I chose it!
This story is very well told, and the story line is unlike any other supernatural fiction I can recall. A nice twist all around. The beginning sets the stage well, and quickly progresses into the meat and potatoes. The set stage, and exciting adventure are well scripted and held my interest. The story moved along at a brisk pace without dull, or boring periods.
The only complaint I have is in it's ending. After the climax 'scene', the return to 'normal' happened too quickly. There should have been more immediate aftermath in the story. An annoyance, but still glad I listened to it.

Bad Guy Conveniently Tells All
This was a cool premise and story idea. I was enjoying listening for the first 3/4. But towards the end the “bad guy” gives a long tell all speech about how he did it and how he might be stopped. After that the rest of the story was tied up with a nice bow and wasn’t very engaging anymore. I know it’s a YA book but it felt like a let down that could have been avoided.

Narrator annoyed me
Josh Hurley read in exclamation points. Maybe he thought a young adult novel about weird things told by a boy required that, but it was so tiresome I couldn't finish the book. I couldn't even finish it when I skipped over to the end.

Pretty good book
If you are a fan of young adult fiction, you will probably enjoy this book. The voice acting is pretty good. I’m not from Louisiana but his accents worked for me. I would recommend this book, for sure.

It was ok for a kids book.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I kept losing focus and kept making myself listen. The ending was good.

i didn't enjoy the story.
i didn't think it had much character development. At the end I didn't fell good or feel anything for the characters. Good stories, in my opinion, make you feel close to the characters, you understand them and there motivations. I'm at the end of this story and I'm starting to forget it already.

Cool, enjoyable story for young teens.
Though perhaps not as much for old geezers. But, it made me smile a lot & was a fun rapper from my usual, more serious, fare. Good lessons for my grandsons, whom, I know, will love it.

Gripping Tale (tail?)
I like this story because it is set in am unusual location and uses that location as a character. A well spun yarn that kept me eager for the next chapter.

But everything is about to change. One night, Kay tags along on another one of Will’s adventures, and they both end up recruited by a talking fox to become Netherjacks, protectors of all the worlds. Once they arrive at the training academy, though, Will is paired with a legendary Netherwing mount and quickly rises in the trainee ranks, leaving Kay behind with barely a glance.

Whether you’re a sunling or an earthling, growing up isn’t easy. Shy nine-year-old Gustafer Yellowgold has to grapple with neighborhood bullies, an over-achieving brother, and parental expectations just like kids on Earth do. He would rather lose himself in comic books and dream the day away than make deliveries for his father’s raisin-butchering business after school. Fateful events put Gustafer at his ultimate crossroad when he sees a darker opportunity to control his own destiny on the Sun.
