Synopsis Jake and the man-eating picnic basket by : Peter Preston

Jake Crabtree is an unwilling volunteer for his granddad’s inventions. They’re supposed to cure the twelve-year-old of his stammer, but more often than not he’s lucky to escape with all of his limbs intact. He has an accident at a local science fair when his secret formula spills onto his neighbour’s harmless picnic basket. This creates a creature that starts to abduct the villages of Little Codswallop, replacing them with not so perfect copies. Jake and his family have to come up with a plan to stop the man-eating picnic basket taking over the planet. And try to avoid Granddad’s crazy inventions.

Synopsis Friends--And Then Some by : Debbie Macomber

One of acclaimed author Debbie Macomber’s classic novels, this is a tender story of two people daring to be more than “just friends.” Lily Morrissey knows exactly what she wants in a husband: a big bank account. Not that she’s greedy or shallow; she just needs the security for herself and her beloved grandmother. But husband-hunting is harder than she expected, especially with her best friend Jake in the way. In fact, Jake—who would be perfect for her if he weren’t so committed to everything money can’t buy—is becoming downright distracting, with those jade eyes and that disarming grin. All Jake wants is the freedom to sail his boat, write his stories, and live life on his own terms. Then his best friend tells him she’s going groom shopping. But Jake can’t imagine life without Lily or bear the thought of her in another man’s arms. How can a rootless guy living a no-strings existence and a woman looking for someone she can count on both get what they need? By letting their hearts choose love. BONUS: This edition includes excerpts from Debbie Macomber's Last One Home and The Inn at Rose Harbor.

Synopsis Going Home by : Raymond Lescault

Going Home is a story of lost and found, a story of a family torn apart by the depression and poverty of the 1930s. It tells of their struggle to survive and find a place in a new world of dust and despair. This family travels a lifetime to find the home they once knew. In the end death brings them together once more and points them to the road that was always there all along. This is a story the author knows well because he was one of that lost generation. (Authors note) I thought of many titles for this novel before I decided on Going Home. I believe that sometime in our lives we have all wished that we could go home to a simple, uncomplicated, warm and loving place we once knew or always hoped to find. I believe that the two words in this title are both a hope and a prayer; it speaks of a universal desire that lives in all of us. Thomas Wolfe looked into his half full glass and remarked, You cant go home again, but even if this is true, hope still lives. No matter where we go in the world we all long to see home again. Truly, in our hearts we are always going home.

Synopsis Jodi by : Karin Olson

Jodi was a Special Forces Angel who rushed to disasters to help humans. But she, oh so much, wanted to be a Guardian Angel. Finally God granted her the opportunity and assigned her to Gerald, an impulsive, distractible, accident-prone child with ADHD. The story of their lives together covers his childhood through his middle adult years in the early 1900s taking place in rural America. Jodi frequently breaks angelic rules and tries the patience of the angelic hierarchy; for example, she introduces herself to Gerald when he is but a boy of four. The reader becomes acquainted with the angelic hierarchy with its rigid rules as well as participates in the development of the possibilities when humans and angels collaborate in the solving of earthly problems.
