Breaking ​Free

Lauren Brooke - A ​vihar után
Heartland ​varázslatos hely a virginiai hegyekben: menedékül szolgál olyan lovaknak, akiket bántódás ért. Itt megtanítják őket újra bízni az emberekben. Amy nem látta Spartant a balesetet követően – miután az a viharos éjszaka örökre megváltoztatta mindkettejük életét. Spartan nemsokára Heartlandbe érkezik. Többé már nem ugyanaz a ló, és Amy hihetetlen dühöt vált ki belőle: vicsorog és dobol a patáival, amikor meglátja a lányt. Amynek még ki kell hevernie a történteket, és úgy tűnik, képtelen segíteni Spartannak, pedig talán ő az egyetlen, aki ezt megtehetné.

Lauren Brooke - Vihar ​után
A ​Heartland farmot lovak gondozására alakították ki az amerikai Virginia állam lankáin – ám sokkal több egyszerű lovas farmnál. Nincs még egy hozzá fogható hely: a múlt sebei itt begyógyulnak, és a rémült, bántalmazott lovak megtanulják, hogyan bízzanak ismét az emberekben. Amy a baleset óta nem látta Spartant – a viharos este óta, ami örökre megváltoztatta az egész család életét. Spartan most Heartlandre kerül, ám az addig békés ló megváltozott. Dühös, és úgy tűnik, haragja Amynek szól. Ha meglátja a lányt, rögtön ellenségessé válik: vicsorog és vadul toporzékolni kezd. Amy a saját problémáival is nehezen birkózik meg, úgy érzi, ő a legkevésbé alkalmas arra, hogy segítsen Spartanen. Csakhogy talán ő az egyetlen, aki képes rá.

Lauren Brooke - Szabadulás
Heartland ​varázslatos hely a virginiai hegyekben: menedékül szolgál olyan lovaknak, akiket bántódás ért. Itt megtanítják őket újra bízni az emberekben. Pegazus az egyetlen, aki Amy múltjából megmaradt, de az öreg ló állapota egyre romlik. Amy gondosan ápolja és ugyanakkor megpróbálja Heartlandet egybetartani. Eleinte arra törekszik, hogy édesanyja módszereit alkalmazza, de a farmon minden kezd széthullani. Amynek az összes bátorságára szüksége van, hogy szakítson édesanyja örökségével, mert ez az egyetlen mód, hogy szabaddá váljon és megtalálja saját útját.

Lauren Brooke - Coming ​Home
In ​the first title, Amy and her mother are in a fierce trailer accident after rescuing an abandoned horse. Amy's mother is killed immediately, and Amy is rushed to hospital in a serious condition while the horse is sent to a local vet. When Amy wakes from her coma, she must face returning to life at the stable without her mother. She cowers in her room after returning from the hospital, denying the comfort she could find in the familiar smell of grain and the welcoming nickers of the horse. Not until a pony falls terribly ill does Amy consider her mother's absolute commitment to horses; then she realises it is her own deepest passion as well.

Lauren Brooke - Hazatérés
A ​Heartland farmot lovak számára alakították ki Virginia állam lankáin – ám sokkal több egyszerű lovas farmnál. Nincs még egy hozzá fogható hely: a múlt sebei itt begyógyulnak, és a rémült, bántalmazott lovak megtanulják, hogyan bízzanak ismét az emberekben. Amióta csak az eszét tudja, Amynek Heartland volt az otthona. Itt figyelte, hogy az anyukája bizalommal és reménnyel tölti meg az egykor vad, rémült lovak szívét. És Amyben is megvan az anyukája képessége: a lovakra hangolódva megérti, mire van szükségük. Amikor egy tragikus baleset mindent megváltoztat, Amynek nem szabad szem elől veszítenie, amit az anyukája tanított neki – őszintén hinnie kell benne, hogy Heartland a csodák birodalma.

Loppuottelu on huippujännittävä ja kisojen tunnelma iloisen riehakas, kunnes tilanne yhtäkkiä muuttuu sekasortoiseksi ja uhkaavaksi: kuolonsyöjät marssivat esiin ja taivaalle leimahtaa pimeän piirto. Harryn neljäntenä kouluvuonna Tylypahkan koulussa järjestetään kolmivelhoturnajaiset, joihin osallistuu oman koulun lisäksi kaksi muuta velhokoulua, Beauxbatons ja Durmstrang.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
There ​is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror? Here are just a few things on Harry's mind: - A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey. - A venomous, disgruntled house-elf - Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team - The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams . . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice. Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.
