Dazzling faerie kingdoms grace the American landscape alongside ice sheets and expansive magical woods, where deserts stand today.
Teenage cowgirl and amateur scientist Feleena Ochoa, along with her fantasy-loving younger brother, Jack, find themselves unintentionally transported to the Ice Age by a spell meant for their geologist and plant expert mother, Jane. The benevolent elves, whose magic relies on rare plants, originally sought Jane's knowledge to track down these elusive botanical treasures, but an unfortunate glitch brings the kids into the mix.
As a brewing war against the orcs unfolds, Feleena, armed with her mother's plant knowledge and cowgirl smarts, takes it upon herself to assist the elves and find a way back home. The stakes escalate when Jack is kidnapped by the orcs, who believe he possesses the key to winning the war against the elves. Now, Feleena must join her newfound friends on a quest to brew a potion that will thwart the orcs' conquest of Ice Age North American Ice.
Will Feleena succeed in saving the future, rescuing her brother, and returning to her own time? The challenges and adversaries she faces in this enchanting adventure will determine the fate of her quest.

How far will teen girls go for approval from their peers? PI Georgia Davis finds out.
When pretty, smart Sara Long is found bludgeoned to death, it's easy to blame the man with the bat. But when Georgia Davis -- former cop and newly-minted PI -- is hired to look into the incident at the behest of the accused's sister, what she finds hints at a much different, much darker answer.
It seems the privileged, preppy schoolgirls on Chicago's North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot-under-the-collar businessmen.
But while these girls can pay for Prada price tags, they don't realize that their new business venture may end up costing them more than they can afford.
Eine mitrei ende Geschichte über den Zweiten Weltkrieg, in der ein junger Deutsch-Jude von Europa in die USA flüchtet und der Army beitritt, um gegen die Nazis zu kämpfen
Als die Nazis Europa erobern, fliehen der jüdische Max und seine Eltern vor der Judenverfolgung der Deutschen nach Holland, wo Max nicht nur gute Freunde findet, sondern auch eine lebensverändernde Liebe erlebt. Doch als Hitler 1940 in Holland einmarschiert, flüchtet Max nach Chicago. Seine Eltern und Freunde muss er zurücklassen. Als er vom Tod seiner Eltern erfährt, verpflichtet sich Max umgehend freiwillig für den Dienst in der Army. Nach der Grundausbildung wird er ins Camp Ritchie in Maryland geschickt. Dort nimmt er an einem Ausbildungsprogramm für den Geheimdienst teil und lernt alles über Verhörtechniken und Spionageabwehr.
Max wird an das OSS entliehen und führt gefährliche Aufträge in den besetzten Ländern durch. Au erdem verhört er deutsche Kriegsgefangene, vor allem nach dem D-Day und der Ardennenoffensive, wo er trotz lebensbedrohlicher Umstände wichtige Informationen über die deutschen Truppenbewegungen ausspioniert.
Nach dem Krieg arbeitet er für die Amerikaner im Entnazifizierungsprogramm, was ihn in seine Heimatstadt Regensburg zurückführt. Obwohl die Stadt von grö erer Zerstörung verschont blieb, ist die jüdische Gemeinschaft stark dezimiert worden. Max läuft durch bekannte und ihm doch völlig fremde Stra en und lässt Erinnerungen an die vielen Menschen aufleben, die durch die schreckliche Tragödie ausgelöscht wurden. Vor Ort begegnet er einer alten Bekannten aus seinem früheren Leben, die ebenso wie er im Ausland Zuflucht gesucht hatte. Können sie ihr Leben wieder aufbauen? Gemeinsam?
Diese mitrei ende und spannende Geschichte über das Erwachsenwerden und den Krieg ist Libby Hellmanns Tribut an ihren verstorbenen Schwiegervater, der beim OSS war und Dutzende von deutschen Kriegsgefangenen verhört hat.

A sweeping World War 2 saga in which a young German Jew flees Europe, emigrates to America, and joins the Army to fight Nazis
As the Nazis conquer Europe, Jewish teen Max and his parents flee German persecution to Holland, where Max finds true friends and a life-altering romance. But when Hitler invades in 1940, Max escapes to Chicago, leaving his parents and friends behind. When he learns of his parents' murder, Max immediately enlists in the US Army. After basic training he is sent to Camp Ritchie, Maryland, where he is trained in interrogation and counterintelligence.
During the war, Max performs missions in Occupied countries with the OSS, his Ritchie Boy teams, and by himself, where he elicits critical information about German troop movements on land.

He also receives an unexpected visit from someone in his past, who, like him, sought refuge abroad.
