"A look at penguins and puffins through a humorous lens, for children"--
Sophie Andrews's life is rather routine. She fights with her twin sister, Alyssa, she still lives with her parents, and she isn't sure where the relationship with her boyfriend is going. But everything changes one night when an intruder breaks into her home. Sophie wakes up and finds a masked man pinning her down, and she is raped. It's only at the hospital that she realizes that while she survived the ordeal, her parents-as well as her rapist-did not. Hospital staff members ask Sophie if she wants a pill to ensure that she won't have a baby, but as a strong Christian she refuses because she believes that would be murder. She later finds out that she is indeed pregnant. Sophie struggles to recover from the rape and death of her parents. She accepts a job taking care of the sister-in-law of her boss. Meanwhile, she keeps receiving letters from a stalker expressing glee that she was left pregnant from the attack. In From Zero, Sophie must now contend with small-town gossip, overcome the trauma of a rape, and solve the mystery of who could be her tormenter.

Julie Corns felt trapped in her dull, boring life in Portsmouth, Ohio. That was until the day that Julie and her sister Shannon Wright stumbled upon an old mahogany mirror while they were cleaning out their deceased mom's basement. The mirror was originally owned by their great-great grandmother Emily, in 1920. Hidden inside a secret compartment, was Emily's diary and a three-pearl necklace on a leather cord. The necklace was powerful and could grant three wishes, one for each pearl, but it came with a warning that the mirror would own your soul after the third wish. Julie was desperate to change her life, and despite what was written in the diary and the warning from her psychic friend Charlotte, Julie made her wish. Julie's first wish came true making her appearance and life drastically change. So much so, that her old friend Irma Rios felt like someone else has taken Julie's place, but who? They decided to go to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and it was there that the new Julie emerged unleashing horror to whatever man crossed her path. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?
Miss Julie (1888), written in a fortnight, was regarded by Strindberg as his masterpiece, 'the first naturalistic tragedy of the Swedish drama'. Shocking in subject-matter, revolutionary in technique, it was fiercely attacked on publication for immorality. On Midsummer Eve, Miss Julie, the daughter of a count, sleeps with her father's valet, Jean. The subsequent conflict between sexual passion and social position, which leads to her suicide, is presented with startling modernity. The play's premiere at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by the censor and its first public production three years later in Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one performance. Miss Julie has since become one of Strindberg's most popular and frequently performed plays. Commentary and notes by David Thomas and Jo Taylor.
