A Ladder to the Sky

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne, read by Richard E. Grant, Richard Cordery, Nina Sosanya and Laurence Kennedy. A psychological drama of cat and mouse, A Ladder to the Sky shows how easy it is to achieve the world if you are prepared to sacrifice your soul. If you look hard enough, you can find stories pretty much anywhere. They don't even have to be your own. Or so would-be writer Maurice Swift decides very early on in his career. A chance encounter in a Berlin hotel with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann gives him an opportunity to ingratiate himself with someone more powerful than him. For Erich is lonely, and he has a story to tell. Whether or not he should do so is another matter entirely. Once Maurice has made his name, he sets off in pursuit of other people's stories. He doesn't care where he finds them - or to whom they belong - as long as they help him rise to the top. Stories will make him famous but they will also make him beg, borrow and steal. They may even make him do worse.

John Boyne (Author), Laurence Kennedy, Nina Sosanya, Richard Cordery, Richard E. Grant (Narrator)

A Knack for Embarrassment

Have you ever wondered why, when you throw a flat rock, it never flies straight...and accidentally hits your sibling in a vital organ? Have you ever survived a night in a den of 40 snorers intent on rearranging your circadian rhythm...forever? Did you ever blow up cuisine in the microwave and then try and hide it from your clairvoyant mother...by sucking it up in her vacuum cleaner? If so, then these stories are right up your alley! Follow the author and his family and friends in their rollicking adventures sledding down the dreaded Sleddin' Road, riding in a Volkswagen Rabbit that expels more exhaust than a convention of chain smokers, and practicing 'Premeditated Bear Situation Thinking' while out in the woods. Just try not to laugh as you hear about the cutthroat cookie-decorating contest of Christmas 2007 or as the author guinea-pigs his younger brother in a game of spit wads. Reminiscent of Patrick F. McManus yarns and Erma Bombeck columns, these stories are sure to get you laughing. Born in Idaho, raised on ice cream, and schooled in calamity and disaster, author James D. Beers tells the 'somewhat true' tales of his zany life from a unique and humorous perspective in A Knack for Embarrassment, his first collection of short stories.

James D. Beers (Author), Chris Brinkley (Narrator)

A Guest in the Jungle

At thirty-one, Pittsburgh attorney Whitehill rarely has been required to make a decision more stressful than which Brooks Brothers suit to wear to the office. Yet all that changes when a vacation to South America leaves him stranded in the depths of the Amazon jungle. There, he finds himself at the mercy of an opportunistic scientist whose motives are murky at best...and deadly at worst. Though the good doctor offers a variety of excuses as to why he is dragging Whitehill through an actual rainforest - emeralds, valuable plants, insects - Whitehill's not buying it. He escapes with the help of some hungry vampire bats and falls in with an English-speaking Indian whose tribe is at the heart of a raging conflict with land-hungry developers. Trapped in the jungle, Whitehill must gather what little courage he has to stop an Indian war and preserve a vanishing culture. Along the way, he has a fling with a gorgeous native, narrowly survives being sacrificed to the gods, and is rescued from a bombing by a pair of hard-drinking American expats. Smart, engrossing, and uproariously funny, A Guest in the Jungle is a remarkable novel about the power of one man to make a difference in the world. "Hilarious-A wonderful book and highly recommended" - WORLD RAINFOREST REPORT

When Jimmy Pitt bets an actor friend that any fool could burgle a house, offering to demonstrate the feat that very night, he puts his reputation on the line. He hires the services of a professional burglar, but his difficulties are increased when he has the misfortune to select police captain McEachern's house for the burglary. And imagine Jimmy's consternation when he learns that Captain McEachern's daughter is none other than the beautiful Molly, whom he has worshipped from afar for quite some time.

A Genie Ruins Everything

Phenomenal Cosmic Power... Itty Bitty Moral Compass. With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. They're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client. That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world. Brooks and Smith have to set things right, but their attempts at doing so are complicated by a genie-thieving venture capitalist, self-sabotage, and a newer, stupider detective in town. Some wishes really can’t come true. About the Series From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. A Genie Ruins Everything is Book #3. *1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award About the Audiobook Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People), A Genie Ruins Everything is guaranteed to induce laughter. Real laughter. Not just a slight exhale. It is not recommended that you listen while chopping down a tree, conducting a train carrying radioactive waste, or anything else requiring intense focus.
