Welcome to the club! Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!
The soulful, hilarious memoir of a chronic people pleaser who surprised everyone in her life by abandoning an unfulfilling career and marriage to join a convent—and learned how much we stand to gain when we fully embrace our authentic selves.

When a woman is killed by her own state-of-the-art smart home, FBI Agent Jude Mackenzie is stumped by the seemingly impossible crime. With no fingerprints, the killer is elusive. Special Agent Victoria Tennant, an expert in cybercrime, reveals the chilling truth: a machine only acts on direction. As more "accidents" occur, the agents realize they're hunting a human perpetrator who manipulates technology to kill. The danger escalates, placing Jude and Victoria in the digital crosshairs. With smart devices everywhere, they race against time to unmask the murderer before they become the next victims, facing a threat that's as close as their own phones.
