[Young Adult Fiction][Read by Stephen Briggs]The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits. For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hungerstricken streets. Set in Terry Pratchett's widely popular Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny.

Historical

[Read by Danny Campbell, Andrus Nichols, Robin Miles]Suffused with Banks' trademark lyricism and reckless humor, the twelve stories in A Permanent Member of the Family examine the myriad of ways we try--and sometimes fail--to connect with one another. In the title story, a father looks back on the legend of the cherished family dog whose divided loyalties mirrored the fragmenting of his marriage. ''Former Marine'' asks, to chilling effect, if one can ever stop being a parent. And in the haunting, evocative ''Searching for Veronica,'' a mysterious woman looking for her missing daughter may not be who she claims she is. One of our most acute and penetrating authors, Banks' virtuosic writing animates stories that are profoundly humane, darkly funny, and absolutely unforgettable.

A Permanent Member of the Family

[Read by Kirby Heyborne]When we first meet him, Chappie is a punkedout teenager living in an upstate New York trailer park. During this time, he slips into drugs and petty crime. Rejected by his parents, out of school, and in trouble with the police, he claims for himself a new identity as a permanent outsider; he gets a crossedbones tattoo on his arm and takes the name ''Bone.'' He hops from place to place, finally settling in an abandoned school bus with Rose, a child he rescues from a fasttalking pedophile. There Bone meets IMan, an exiled Rastafarian, and together they travel to the ganjagrowing mountains of Jamaica. It is an amazing journey of selfdiscovery through a world of magic, violence, betrayal, and redemption.
