A catastrophic tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, in 2011. It was part of a larger tornado outbreak in the spring of that year and reached a maximum width of nearly one mile during its path through the southern part of the city, killing 158 people, and injuring over 1,000. It caused damages amounting to $2.8 billion, making it the costliest single tornado in US history. Lauren will bring her signature intensity to this distinctly American natural disaster, placing a young boy in the middle of one of the deadliest tornadoes to strike the United States since 1947.

In Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery, you meet Anne Shirley—a young orphan whose spirit is far too big for the life she’s been given. When she’s mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at Green Gables, her boundless imagination and dramatic flair begin to reshape every life she touches. Suddenly, the quiet village of Avonlea bursts with new color: sunlit roads become adventure paths, simple chores turn into stories, and ordinary days brim with possibility. Yet beneath Anne’s charm lies a tender heart longing for belonging, friendship, and a place to finally call home.

Such a fashionable choice of weapon comes in handy when Sophronia, her best friend Dimity, sweet sootie Soap, and the charming Lord Felix Mersey stowaway on a train to return their classmate Sidheag to her werewolf pack in Scotland.
