  Samurai Shortstop , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min

  Tokyo, 1890: High school can be brutal, even in turn-of-the-century Japan.From his first day at boarding school, Toyo Shimada sees how upperclassmen make a sport out of terrorizing the first-years. Still, he's taken aback when the seniors keep him from trying out for the baseball team, especially after he sees their current shortstop. Toyo isn't afraid to prove himself; He's more troubled by his uncle's recent suicide. Although Uncle Koji's defiant death was supposedly heroic, it has made Toyo question many things about his family's samurai background. And worse, Toyo fears that his father may be next.It all has something to do with "the way of the warrior", but Toyo doesn't understand, even after his father agrees to teach it to him. As the gulf between them grows wider, Toyo searches desperately for a way to prove there is a place for his family's samurai values in modern Japan. Baseball might just be the answer, but will his father ever accept a "Western" game that stands for everything he despises? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Morey.

  Three freshmen must join forces to survive at a troubled, working-class Catholic high school with a student body full of bullies and zealots, and a faculty that's even worse in Anthony Breznican's Brutal Youth. With a plunging reputation and enrollment rate, Saint Michael's has become a crumbling dumping ground for expelled delinquents and a haven for the stridently religious when incoming freshman Peter Davidek signs up. On his first day, tensions are clearly on the rise as a picked-upon upperclassmen finally snaps, unleashing a violent attack on both the students who tormented him for so long, and the corrupt, petty faculty that let it happen. But within this desperate place, Peter befriends fellow freshmen Noah Stein, a volatile classmate whose face bears the scars of a hard-fighting past, and the beautiful but lonely Lorelei Paskal - so eager to become popular, she makes only enemies. To even stand a chance at surviving their freshmen year, the trio must join forces as they navigate a bullying culture dominated by administrators like the once popular Ms. Bromine, their embittered guidance counselor, and Father Mercedes, the parish priest who plans to scapegoat the students as he makes off with church finances. A coming-of-age tale reversed, Brutal Youth follows these students as they discover that instead of growing older and wiser, going bad may be the only way to survive. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Audible Originals and the team from RiffTrax present an intergalactic tale of intrigue and Olympic heroism in this multicast, sci-fi comedy adventure! Kara Everglades has just finished her first year of high school and is longing for an adventure. So far, her only option is an invitation from some upperclassmen to watch them race a bunch of bullfrogs in a ditch. To be honest, she was hoping for something a bit more exciting.Her grandfather, Cornelius Everglades, is a family legend (and a loose cannon), who founded his own island micronation. Unfortunately, the rest of the world refuses to acknowledge it (possibly because he’s gone about the nation-building process using wildly illegal and unethical means).When Cornelius shows up at Kara’s door needing her help and promising an adventure, Kara agrees to go along with his far-fetched plan, even though a) she thought Cornelius was dead, and b) his scheme depends heavily on Kara wearing a mascot costume.If Kara had only known about the giant alien spaceship currently speeding toward her grandfather’s country with the intent to subjugate and humiliate mankind, she might have reconsidered.Full cast of voice actors and performers: Bill Corbett, John DiMaggio, Jackie Kashian, Colin Mahan, Kevin Murphy, Mike Nelson, Eliza Skinner, Dulce Sloan, Reggie Steele, Paul F.

  Lucas (Cambridge, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

  Welcome to the world of the ton's notorious Cambridge brothers. All six of them. Book 1 kicks off a regency historical romance series that follows each brother's life in their search for wives. Lucas Cambridge is the eldest son and heir to a dukedom. He is cynical, jaded, and a devilish rake. Marriage is the furthest thing from his mind. Unfortunately, his meddlesome family has other plans. While attempting to extricate himself from one of their ridiculous schemes, he dives behind a curtain during a ball in the hope of escape. The only problem is his hiding spot is already occupied by a most peculiar woman. Something about her piques his interest because she looks vaguely familiar. He has seen her eyes before in a very different setting, and like a moth to a flame, Lucas is determined to find out everything about her. Caitlin Drummond dreams of the day when her stepmother stops parading her in front of every eligible bachelor within a ten-mile radius. Fortunately, she knows the best hiding spots in every ballroom throughout the ton. A wallflower entering her third season on the marriage mart, Caitlin has no interest in capturing the attention of any lord and views them all with a generous amount of disdain. As a secret understudy to a progressive physician, she knows the vices most upperclassmen partake of when they are not in polite society. Caitlin is relieved when Lucas Cambridge fails to recognize her and is committed to keeping her distance. Because if he remembered her from that night months ago, it would ruin her life. Warning: Alpha males, reluctant heroines, and frivolous entertainment ahead. Not suitable persons under 18. It contains mature content.
