Disaster for Hire (Hardy Boys Casefiles #23)
by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: Timber War Frank and Joe race to Seattle to help their father, Fenton, who stands accused of murder! In their father's rented house, they're met by burglars, who try to gun them down. When the brother detectives follow their trail, they learn that valuable timber is being destroyed by a deadly virus. They also find an entire town has been sealed off to prevent a mysterious flu epidemic. Meanwhile Fenton Hardy is the hostage of a sinister scientist with a formula for certain death. And if the brother team can't reach him in time-he'll become the victim in a doomsday experiment. ======= From inside the book: HOT PURSUIT Frank was already working on the doctor's ropes. "Soon as I get you loose, get clear of here," he ordered. "We'll get Jenny and Dad." Joe ran for the staircase leading up to the next floor, where Jenny Bookman and their father were imprisoned. Frank paused long enough to grab up the doctor's notebook and tuck it under his shirt. Then he started after his brother. They'd just started up the stairs when the far wall of the lab began to breathe smoke. Then, with a great gust of flame, the lab was ablaze.
Disciples of Chaos
by M.K. LobbIn this thrilling sequel to Seven Faceless Saints, Roz and Damian must face their destiny as the world crumbles around them amidst a worsening war—perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Kerri Maniscalco. Damian Venturi isn't aware of it yet, but as small shifts start to crack the foundations of the Ombrazian power structure after the Rebellion's attack, cracks are beginning to show in Damian's own facade. Uncontrollable anger is bubbling to the surface and can't always be pushed down. Can he keep everyone safe, even from himself? Rossana Lacertosa should feel victorious. She accomplished everything she set out to do, and more. The Rebellion's attack set countless prisoners free and brought attention to the unfairness in the Palazzo's structure. And Damian is back by her side where he belongs. Yet the war with Brechaat rages on and government officials are hellbent on keeping the status quo. Then an Ombrazian general arrives from the front lines, and orders dozens of arrests, shipping Roz and Damian's friends up north. Determined to free those who matter most, Roz and Damian set their sights on Brechaat. But their journey is dogged by strange magic, and Damian shifts further from the boy he used to be. The complications of love, magic, faith, and war will keep readers eagerly turning the pages as they head towards the gripping conclusion in the Seven Faceless Saints duology.

Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
by Connie Goldsmith“The common perception of Alzheimer’s from people who haven’t experienced it is that it’s more like a ‘quirk’ which all elderly people experience at some point. But Alzheimer’s is so much more than simple forgetfulness. With the memory loss comes confusion . . . What was once the bedroom turns into a frightening place . . . . They may not recognize family members and instead see them as strangers with unknown intentions. This gives them so much stress every day that they may lash out or become depressed.” —Charlie Poole, Alzheimer’s caregiver Alzheimer’s patients are one of the fastest-growing populations among aging communities in the United States. In 2024 roughly 6.9 million Americans aged sixty-five and older had Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050 that number is set to nearly double. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis affects more than just the patient—it impacts their family and friends too. As the disease progresses, the patient’s memory deteriorates, and their behavior may suddenly change. They may need more attention, care, and supervision. Many people are thrust into the role of a caregiver without preparation or knowledge of what's to come. In Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease, author and registered nurse Connie Goldsmith looks at the stages of Alzheimer’s, details current clinical research, and shares more than a dozen stories of patients and their families. No matter what age you are, it’s important to grow awareness for Alzheimer’s, recognize its signs and symptoms—and learn what you can do in the event that someone you love is diagnosed with the disease.
