Audiobook—Witch & Wizard, Book One
The world is changing — the government has seized control of almost everything and kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother, Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no reason they can comprehend, except that the new government is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Imprisoned together in a decrepit cell, Wisty and Whit clint to the only things they have left — a blank book, a drum stick and each other. While searching for ways to escape, both begin exhibiting strange abilities. Maybe there is a reason they were singled out! Can Wisty and Whit, a witch and a wizard, master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents — and maybe the world?

Single of the Week
Who doesn’t want to be recognized and even loved for who they truly are? That’s the lyrical theme for Orianthi’s snappy pop-rock gem According to You. The message also applies to the instrumental skills of the mid-twentyish native southern Australian and onetime guitar wunderkind. She’s not just an energetic guitarist; she’s a six-string slayer. She’s earned the praises of none other than Carlos Santana and was Michael Jackson’s last live guitarist; you can see her in the late King of Pop’s rehearsal footage feature film and soundtrack, This Is It.

Artist: Jason Derulo
Track: Watcha Say
Canción de la Semana
Former Closer Musik maestro Matias Aguayo is responsible for this whimsical, jumpy, electronic-driven creation. Rollerskate is an elusive, slippery groove of a track where the vocals and rhythms begin to slur and morph into one another, creating a kind of disorienting haze. While the breeziness reflects the feel of such (unfortunately) bygone pastimes as rollerskating, Aguayo’s methods of achieving such a feeling are purely from the future.
