When Nikki Janicek sprints from the 200-degree sauna out into the 100-below darkness wearing nothing but bunny boots, at least she's not alone. She already has survived months of solitary confinement, a forced swim with sharks and a scary journey to the South Pole.

Staff Pick of the Week: Rabbit Cake by Annie Hartnett
"Imagine Maria Semple, Jeanette Walls and Alexandra Fuller all knocking heads to create an eccentric, quirky and utterly charming tale of a ten year old protangonist dealing with the loss of her mother. And, her name is Elvis.
Annie Hartnett conveys bittersweet/hilarious moments with a southern twang.
