The Roman and the Runaway - $0.99

Having a good family friend as your headmaster might sound ideal, but Luke Brownlow soon finds that it just makes life even more complicated.

In with the wrong crowd at school, Luke is falling behind in his work. His parents take drastic action: banning him from seeing his friends making him change schools. Luke falls out with his family completely and escapes from them by forming a friendship with their neighbour, Ned Kelly.

Luke's plans to get expelled from his new school have to be reassessed when he discovers that his new headmaster is the neighbour he has been getting to know over the summer. The actions of an antagonistic fellow student and the arrival of a runaway teenage girl make it harder to avoid confrontations with Ned than Luke had hoped. By the end of the school year he is in imminent danger of expulsion and is sure that he has lost the respect of the man he most admires.

5 Bestselling YA Novels under $5 from the Kindle Store!

Dracula ~ $2.99

Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker’s Dracula received when it first appeared in 1897, the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: 'It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror.'

A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.

Lord of the Flies - $8.99

William Golding's classic tale about a group of English schoolboys who are plane-wrecked on a deserted island is just as chilling & relevant today as when it was 1st published in 1954. At 1st, the stranded boys cooperate, attempting to gather food, make shelters & maintain signal fires. Overseeing their efforts are Ralph, "the boy with fair hair," & Piggy, Ralph's chubby, wisdom-dispensing sidekick whose thick spectacles come in handy for lighting fires. Altho Ralph tries to impose order & delegate responsibility, there are many in their number who'd rather swim, play or hunt the island's wild pig population. Soon Ralph's rules are being ignored or challenged outright. His fiercest antagonist is Jack, the redheaded leader of the pig hunters, who manages to lure away many of the boys to join his band of painted savages. The situation deteriorates as the trappings of civilization continue to fall away, until Ralph discovers that instead of being hunters, he & Piggy have become the hunted: "He forgot his words, his hunger & thirst, & became fear; hopeless fear on flying feet." Golding's gripping novel explores the boundary between human reason & animal instinct, all on the brutal playing field of adolescent competition.--Jennifer Hubert (Goodreads.com)
