    School for Psychics, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    An entrancing new series starring a funny, impulsive, and sometimes self-congratulatory young woman who discovers she has psychic abilities - and then must decide whether she will use her skills for good or...not. Teddy Cannon isn’t your typical 20-something woman. She’s resourceful. She’s bright. She’s scrappy. She can also read people with uncanny precision. What she doesn’t realize: She’s actually psychic. When a series of bad decisions leads Teddy to a run-in with the police, a mysterious stranger intervenes. He invites her to apply to the School for Psychics, a facility hidden off the coast of San Francisco where students are trained like Delta Force operatives: It’s competitive, cutthroat, and highly secretive. They’ll learn telepathy, telekinesis, investigative skills, and SWAT tactics. And if students survive their training, they go on to serve at the highest levels of government, using their skills to protect America and the world. In class, Teddy befriends Lucas, a rebel without a cause who can start and manipulate fire; Jillian, a hipster who can mediate communication between animals and humans; and Molly, a hacker who can apprehend the emotional state of another individual. But just as Teddy feels like she’s found where she might belong, strange things begin to happen: break-ins, missing students, and more. It leads Teddy to accept a dangerous mission that will ultimately cause her to question everything - her teachers, her friends, her family, and even herself. Set in a world very much like our own, School for Psychics is the first book in a stay-up-all night series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madeleine Maby.

    The Institute
    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It.In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis's parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents-telekinesis and telepathy-who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, "like the roach motel," Kalisha says. "You check in, but you don't check out."In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don't, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute.As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute is Stephen King's gut-wrenchingly dramatic story of good vs. evil in a world where the good guys don't always win.

    Six Crystal Princesses (eBook, ePUB)
    In this heroic Xanth adventure from the New York Times-bestselling author, there's no time like the present to free six plucky princesses from the past. Young Vinia is enjoying her life with her boyfriend, Prince Ion. They complement each other perfectly: her telekinesis helps him walk, and his ambiance abolishes all allergens, allowing her to breathe freely. But Ion and his twin, Hilda, are bored with their easy royal lives and are restless for an adventure . . . While telling the story of how their parents met, the twins remember their mother was once captured by a dragon and frozen in crystal along with a half dozen other strong-willed princesses. She managed to escape, but the six other maidens continue to be held captive-which gives Vinia, Ion, Hilda, and Hilda's caprine-crossbreed boyfriend the perfect excuse to embark on a quest. But first they must get the approval of their parents-and the Good Magician. Since Vinia is the protagonist in this story (though she's much more comfortable as a background character), it's up to her complete the Magician's challenges. And then comes their greatest test: to free the princesses from their patriarchal prison, frozen in place by the Dragon with the Girl Tattoo . . . Praise for Piers Anthony "Piers Anthony is one of those authors who can perform magic with the ordinary. . . . [He] is a craftsman." -A Reader's Guide to Science Fiction "Anthony's unflagging sparkle, verve and wordplay spin everyday trials of Mundane life into storytelling gold." -Publishers Weekly

    34 Signs You Are an Indigo Child: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Coping Mechanisms of the Indigo Child , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
    Many people go through life as a sensitive empath, wondering why they are so misunderstood. They feel as though they have never fit in well with others. They may have psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance, telekinesis, or lucid dreams. They may have difficulties with sensory overload, or may even be diagnosed as having sensory processing disorder. These people are often overwhelmed when they are exposed to noise, fluorescent lights, people, physical touch, or chaotic environments. They may shy away from social interaction, confused on how to interpret and interact with other people. What many of these people don't realize is that they are indeed special, but not necessarily special education. They are often misconstrued as being naughty, weak, spirited, learning disabled, or stubborn as children. They are difficult to control by the adults around them. They are often punished without understanding really why they are being punished. They might run in front of cars or running away from their parents, often tempting fate. They might even experience near-death experiences or mysterious illnesses that other people cannot seem to diagnose or pinpoint. These children often grow into adulthood, confused about their place in the world. Children who fit these descriptions are often referred to as "Indigo children." They are talented, spirited, and special in ways that other children are not. They stick out like a sore thumb because they are not at all like other children. They are extremely unique in how they interact with other and interact with the world. They are often exquisitely sensitive because they have advanced empathy. They are able to see, hear, intuit, and feel things that other children and adults are never able to feel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D. Gaunt.

    Teddy Telemachus is a charming con man with a gift for sleight of hand and some shady underground associates. In need of cash, he tricks his way into a classified government study about telekinesis and its possible role in intelligence gathering. There he meets Maureen McKinnon, and it's not just her piercing blue eyes that leave Teddy forever charmed but her mind - Maureen is a genuine psychic of immense and mysterious power. After a whirlwind courtship, they marry, have three gifted children, and become the Amazing Telemachus Family, performing astounding feats across the country. Irene is a human lie detector. Frankie can move objects with his mind. And Buddy, the youngest, can see the future. Then one night tragedy leaves the family shattered. Decades later the Telemachuses are not so amazing. Irene is a single mom whose ear for truth makes it hard to hold down a job, much less hold together a relationship. Frankie's in serious debt to his dad's old mob associates. Buddy has completely withdrawn into himself and inexplicably begun digging a hole in the backyard. To make matters worse, the CIA has come knocking, looking to see if there's any magic left in the Telemachus clan. And there is: Irene's son Matty has just had his first out-of-body experience. But he hasn't told anyone, even though his newfound talent might just be what his family needs to save themselves - if it doesn't tear them apart in the process. Harnessing the imaginative powers that have made him a master storyteller, Daryl Gregory delivers a stunning, laugh-out-loud new novel about a family of gifted dreamers and the invisible forces that bind us all. ungekürzt.

This is also a great book for middle school students and their teachers. It is a short, easy listen.The audiobook was produced by Pace University's Education Department and was performed by Pace University Drama students. Thus, it's a great listen-along project, and can also be enjoyed by special needs students who are unable to read. The book is used as a text by Pace University's Special Education classes. This is a great way to educate kids about autism and tolerance in a fun way. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
