There are three rules in Black River Falls: Don’t break curfew unless you want the monsters to find you. Don’t ask questions, no matter what. And when someone goes missing, don’t go looking. Joey Barnes obeyed those rules, until the day her mother vanished without a trace. She’s spent two years secretly hunting for clues, and she’s discovered plenty of things that don’t make sense, even for Black River Falls.

It’s two months before Amelia’s big audition for the Mystwick School of Musicraft. If she gets in, she will learn to spin music into powerful magic - but her Gran has one last-ditch plan to persuade her out of it: sports camp. 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.

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.

Performed as a 1930s radio drama, it’s bursting with humor for all ages, orchestral scoring, and some of the most talented voices on Broadway. When their ace pilot parents (and adorable puppy) mysteriously disappear over the Pacific, the Flamingo Sisters - Flo, Faye, and Franny - escape the clutches of their evil Uncle Freidrich (who believes girls should never pilot aeroplanes) and join a flying circus.

His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Great Book
This was an awesome book! I easily finished it in a day. The description of New Orleans was so vivid, it made me want to visit. My friends & I are planning our next Girls Trip (HA) to New Orleans. Also, the storyline was awesome, twists, turns, and a very nice and unpredictable plot! Excellent writing!! The only thing that could’ve complimented this book would’ve been to have someone from New Orleans or someone who could speak with that same accent, narrate the book. This was a great read regardless!! I look forward to listening to some more from Ashli Armant.

Summer mystery-solving adventure!
This is a really fun YA mystery adventure. I'm waaaayyyy past my teenage years but I enjoyed it immensely. The narration, music and production was excellent. The story was intriguing and as I'll probably never get to visit New Orleans myself, I really appreciated the glimpses of that precious, fabled city. Viva is one sharp young lady, resourceful and brave. And, of course, persistent!

iPhone lighthearted New Orleans detective story
t this was an entertaining Novela bringing in the flavor of New Orleans, it’s food music and culture. The narration did a great job with just a few slight miss pronunciations of local streets. Of course, maybe it’s just because of the neighborhood I come from.

Amazing!
Wonderful, but when Viva thinks inside her head, the whisper is very quiet. But it is still amazing!

Love it, very gripping & escaping.
I find I can easily escape with the Voice and mind set of Viva, find her down to earth, honest and funny, plus kind hearted. Love her relationship with her Grandma. And that she can solve mysteries, that don't have to be murders. Easy to listen to.

It’s two months before Amelia’s big audition for the Mystwick School of Musicraft. If she gets in, she will learn to spin music into powerful magic - but her Gran has one last-ditch plan to persuade her out of it: sports camp. 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.
