Lost on the stepping stones through time, could Jeanette and her friends ever find home again?
The
glowing stones seemed to throb with some unknown power. What were these
stones and why were they here in this hidden cavern? All
fifteen-year-old Jeanette Lacy and her younger brother Neil knew was
that the stones were calling to them... and they couldn't resist!
But
their first steps on this weird pathway took them whirling through time
to Texas - one hundered and thirty years ago in another past. Texas,
where two moons hung in the sky, where unicorns were only too real, and
where a boy named Jesse became an unexpected ally in their quest to
return home. Then, instead of home, the stones sent them off to a
frightening future where travelling in time was the worst crime of
all...

The Reading Room by Ruth Hamilton
Leanne Chalmers has made a
career for herself presenting her own style of home decorating and
design on the nation's screens. That was her past life, at least. For
now Leanne has been forced to start again as Lily, leaving her name,
job, and marriage behind. No one in the Lancashire village of Eagleton
has a clue about Lily, save that she's come up from the South West with
her best friend and a small child. But it’s hard to lead a solitary
existence in a small place, and Lily and Babs are swiftly embraced by
some of the local characters: Mike, the Catholic priest, who the girls
can't help noticing is easy on the eye; Eve, a Liverpudlian, who has a
big mouth but a heart of gold; the

Forgive Me, Alex by Lane Diamond
Book Blurb:
Tony Hooper stands in
shadow across the street, one amongst many in the crowd of
curiosity-hounds gathered to watch a monster's release. Seventeen years
after Mitchell Norton, "the devil," terrorized Algonquin, Illinois on a
spree of kidnapping, torture and murder, the authorities release the
butcher from psychiatric prison.
Tony longs to charge across the street to destroy Norton—no remorse—as if stepping on a cockroach. Only sheer force of will prevents his doing so.
"The devil" walks the world again. What shall Tony do about it? Aye, what indeed.

The Z Word (Apocalypse Babes) by Bella Street
The Z Word follows
Seffy Carter and her longtime friends Gareth, Addison and Lani. The four
besties share a past dysfunctional and dark enough to keep them bound
together under do-over identities. But rends develop in their
relationships from the flesh-eating pressures of ending up in 1980, in a
Montana desert, surrounded by zombies wearing dated disco duds.
My review:
This is basically Zombie light. It is a lovely diversionary bit of Zombie fun. Nothing too gruesome. Nothing too scary. Seffy and friends somehow seem to have traveled back in time to 1980 Montana, but it is a very different Montana than you might expect. For one thing, there are Zombies and lots of 'em. Zombies who seem to like disco music.

The Turtle Boy by Kealan Patrick Burke
School is out and summer
has begun. For eleven year old Timmy Quinn and his best friend Pete
Marshall, the dreary town of Delaware Ohio becomes a place of magic,
hidden treasure and discovery. But on the day they encounter a strange
young boy sitting on the bank of Myers Pond a pond playground rumor
says may hide turtles the size of Buicks everything changes. For it
soon becomes apparent that dark secrets abound in the little community,
secrets which come cupped in the hands of the dead, and in a heartbeat,
Timmy and Pete's summer of wonder becomes a season of terror, betrayal
and murder.
