Voodoo Island / Michael Duckworth Oxford Bookworms Level 2
Mr James Conway wants to make money. He wants to build new houses and shops - and he wants to build them on an old graveyard, on the island of Haiti.
When men find gold in the frozen north of Canada, they need dogs - big, strong dogs to pull the sledges on the long journeys to and from the gold mines. Buck is stolen from his home in the south and sold as a sledge-dog. He has to learn a new way of life - how to work in harness, how to stay alive in the ice and the snow...and how to fight. Because when a dog falls down in a fight, he never gets up again.

Dorothy lives in Kansas, USA, but one day a cyclone blows her and her house to a strange country called Oz. There, Dorothy makes friends with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. But she wants to go home to Kansas. Only one person can help her, and that is the country's famous Wizard. So Dorothy and her friends take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, to find the Wizard of Oz . . .
Using her mobile phone-camera, Meaghan Wallace records the death scene of an underage Asian girl at the home of a wealthy Australian businessman. Before she's caught, she sends the digital video to a friend. When Meg is murdered, her boss hires P. I. Makedde Vanderwall to investigate. Mak seeks answers from the seedier sides of Sydney and Melbourne, including strippers, junkies, and a dominatrix named Serena. Moss reads the book herself, and while her reading is not flash and fireworks, it's intelligent storytelling delivered in a straightforward manner. Her voice is rich and pleasant, and she avoids overdoing characterizations. The fourth in Tara Moss's series about the gorgeous ex-model-forensic psychologist-private investigator is fast paced and fun.
