 | Bones of Coral by James W. Hall, Richard Ferrone
Like any big-city paramedic, Shaw Chandler had probably seen a thousand suicides. But he knows a murder when he sees one--and this time its his own father. Suddenly hes got a metal canister marked U.S. Navy in his hands, as hes dragged back to the crazed coral shores of his birthplace, sunny Key West, to explain it.There, two people from Chandler`s past--an impassioned doctor harboring his own long-buried secrets and his seductive actress-daughter, Trula--hold the key to a bizarre environmental scam turned deadly. And as the snares of a suspicious trap of suicides close about him, Chandler confronts a deranged killer with a negative IQ, a knack for rhyme, and a genius for killing... and the psychotic mastermind behind the southernmost monopoly on death...

 | Ribbons by Laurence Yep
Eleven-year-old Robin is a gifted ballet dancer whose demanding teacher thinks has the potential to become professional. But her family can no longer afford to pay for Robin's lessons because they need the money to bring her grandmother over to America from China. Robin resents having to give up her lessons, and is even more displeased when her grandmother finally arrives, and seems to be just a grumpy old woman. Determined to keep up with her ballet, Robin practices dutifully in her garage, but she has outgrown her toe shoes and that, combined with the hard cement of the garage floor, damages her feet. While the rest of Robin's family is aghast at her behavior, only her grandmother, whose feet were bound as a child in China, truly understands Robin's determination to dance, and the two begin to form a true affection for each other.
