Airman
Eoin Colfer
Conor Broekhart was born in a balloon and ever since then he has wanted to fly. Living on the island of Great Salty off the coast of Ireland with a soldier for a father, a princess for a best friend, and a teacher who will help him get back to the air. His life is going just fine until Conor finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, he just witnessed the assassination of the King and his teacher. The killer then makes it look as though Conor had something to do with it and locked him away on the little prison island Little Salty. Now Conor must find a way to survive long enough to get off the island and some how get back to Great Salty in order to clear his name.
This was a good book I listened to this with my family on our road trip and everyone liked it. My favorite part is when Conor and Isabella light the tower on fire and Conor saves her. I would recommend this book to kids and teens who are interested with flying and aviation as it talks a lot about planes and other flying machines.

Mystery
Bride Collector
Ted Dekker
Brad Raines is a special agent with the FBI and he has just been called out to another horrific crime scene. But this one is not the first, it seems as though the serial killer known as the "Bride Collector" has claimed his fourth victim. None of the women have anything in common except the way they were killed, each was tranquilized with manicures and make up done, and then had their blood drained through their feet. No leads no DNA, nothing. That is until the forensic examiner discovers a small role of paper hidden on the body, this is the first communication from the killer. Now Brad must try to solve the Bride Collector's riddles in order to save the "favorites". But the Rainman better watch out because the Bride Collector is much smarter than they think and he has a plan that could really hit home with the Special Agent.
This is a really good murder mystery without too much blood and gore. There is even a little bit of a romance angle played in here as well. I have read this book twice and each time I read this I am amazed by Ted Dekker's work, he is a great author. My favorite part is when Paradise stands up to the Bone Collector when he threatens Brad. I would recommend this book to teens and parents who do not want their kids reading to much with blood and gore.
