 Catch-22- Joseph Heller, Paperback, 576 pages

survive.

The Legend of Luke- Brian Jacques, Hardcover. 40% off and available now!
Brian Jacques and his tremendous Redwall books never cease to amaze: this is the 12th book in the series and it just gets better and better.
This time, the interweaving story of a father and a son is told in three parts, starting with a visit to Redwall Abbey by a young hedgehog maid
who, by singing a half-remembered song recounting the adventures of a warrior called Luke, begins to unlock some of the mysteries behind
the Abbey's early years.

millions since its inception, The Legend of Luke is an absolute must- read for anyone--young or old--who likes their fiction fast and fantastical, and will certainly leave them breathless for more. (Ages 9 and over)
