Mister Fishback's Monster by Steve Sabatka A massive storm leaves a dead heap of tentacles, fins — and one awful, staring eye — on an Oregon beach. Is it a fish? A mammal? A prehistoric throwback right out of a 1950s monster movie? Three high school students take on the gruesome, rotting mystery — and learn the truth.

The Diary of an Extraordinarily Ordinary Woman and Her Rather Eccentric Sister by Pam Dehnke The story of two sisters’ parallel but divergent lives.

The story spans seventy-five years of love, loss, intrigue, death and betrayal.
