|  | Up a Creek by Laura E. Williams
Starshine Bott is embarrassed by her activist mother--doesn't she know that the '60s are over? Starshine's mom, Miracle, is always standing up for something--saving the whales, protecting the ozone layer, and now attempting to stop the oak trees in their town square from being cut down. When Miracle announces her plan to protest the removal of the trees by living in one of them, Starshine is convinced that her mother has gone too far. AUTHOR: Laura E. Williams

 | The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice, Frank Muller
In the process of successfully outing himself as a vampire via his simultaneous career choices of rock star, author, and actor, Lestat has annoyed much of the vampire community, who are furious that he has revealed their secrets (even if most of Lestat's fans don't really believe in his bloodsucking ways). More importantly, however, Lestat's antics have awakened the legendary Akasha, the mother of all vampires, and she is not exactly pleased with the way things have been going in the 6,000 years since she last ruled the world.

But strangely, important items--like her wooden spoon, her big bolsa for grocery shopping, and even her mousetraps--keep disappearing!
