Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Atria Books, 2/2013 
"Some might say it was because of the flute. It was the reason Kalu, an abandoned

street kid,ever learned to play. It was the reason Malti, a servant girl, found her

inner courage and the reason Bal,the local buffalo herder, found freedom. After

reading this enchanting story of life in rural India, the reader is bound to think

it was much more than the flute."

"We are all wild about Cheryl Strayed's Wild, From Lost to Found on the
Pacific Crest Trail. Especially after hearing her speak at the Art of Fact
Award May 1, 2013 brought to us by Brockport's Writers Forum. She is the
most honest and sincere human we have seen in a long time. Too bad if you
missed her talk about her experiences both on the trail and on paper. She
was something very special. But you can make it up to yourself by reading
her book. Now in paperback. We have signed copies while they last!" - Archie

Ex-Patriots (Paperback)

By Peter Clines
$14.00
ISBN-13: 9780804136594
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Broadway, 4/2013
Other Editions of this Title
"Ex-Patriots by Peter Clines probably should've been a comic book, but I'm not complaining. Engaging characters, exciting plot, zombies, it's all there. The superheroes who've devoted themselves to sheltering a small population from the chomping mass of walking corpses know they'll never get a break, but with the appearance of a surviving US military regiment comes a cautious sense of hope. I picked up this book after hearing that it was better than it's prequel, Ex-Heroes. It's not something I normally do, but with so much to read, why not skip to the good stuff? The superheroes' struggle for redemption after losing most of the world to a vicious plague has been my favorite part, though, so I think it's safe to say I'll be picking up their earlier story anyway." - Kevin

first story is about a young boy accused of killing another. The second is about the
childhood of the lawyer defending the young boy. Both stories are good. You are left

"Hallucinations, violent outbursts, extreme paranoia and then a grand mal seizure.
Blood work, MRIs, urine screenings all back normal. What happened to this 25 year
old newspaper reporter who was energetic, independent and fully functioning? Did she
suddenly become psychotic, schizophrenic, demon possessed? Can medical science help
her? Will she ever be the same? This memoir reads like a novel with just enough info
on the brain and how it functions" - Taysie
