Markus Zusak narrates the story of Ed Kennedy in the thrilling and mysterious novel, I am the Messenger.
Ed Kennedy is a loser drunk who lives in a shack with his smelly dog, The Doorman. After stopping a bank robbery, Ed receives a series of playing cards with tasks that he is expected to fulfill to help others in his community. Ed is completely devoted to his courier work, and for a short while, he is happy with his life. He becomes a messenger of kindness and help for an unknown cause. But who is sending these cards? Why have they picked Ed as their messenger?
"Interesting premise, moved along at a decent pace." ~ goodreads.com
"Through this enchanting, abnormal storyline, Zusak clearly reveals a theme many of us know, but few embrace. That is, anyone (not just the richest, most beautiful or successful people) can perform simple deeds to make the world a better place." ~ Emelie Sanders, pioneerwoman.com

Mama
Mama tells the haunting tale of two young girls who disappear into the woods the night that their parents are murdered. Years later they are discovered and begin a new life. They find that something has followed them into their new life and won't leave them alone.
Reviews:
The A.V club-
" Plenty of horror movies are willing to settle for making audiences jump. Mama is more ambitious by far: It makes sure viewers are emotionally committed even when they aren't clutching their armrests or covering their eyes"
New Orleans Times-
" It's a good, old-fashioned sit-around-the-campfire ghost story, one that delivers on its sole reason for existence: to raise the hairs on the back of your arms."
