Vanished ($3.99 Kindle), by Kristi Holl, is free at B&N courtesy of Christian publisher Zonderkidz.

Book Description
Lonely and a long way from her Iowa home, twelve-year-old Jeri McKane reacts to boarding school the way most middle schoolers would. Even with close friends, she wonders whether her scholarship to prestigious Landmark School was worth it. She's tempted to give up when her Mom can't make parents' weekend, and the school bus carrying her roommate, Rosa, disappears. But this reporter for the sixth-grade newspaper has an eye like Nancy Drew and more faith and courage than she realizes. Jeri solves the mystery---and makes landmark decisions to trust God and his Word through circumstances and feelings that don't make sense.

Free Book (Kobo,Borders) - Lydia Bennet’s Story

Lydia Bennet’s Story: A Sequel To Pride And Prejudice ($7.99 Kindle), by Jane Odiwe, previously free on Kindle, is now free in both the Border's and Kobo stores. Currently, the free version is currently only compatible with their Kobo reader and apps (no EPUB), although you can read it on the web page at Kobo. BTW, if you show your Border's reading app on your phone, you can get a free hot coffee or tea in their bookstore cafe.

Book Description
Lydia Bennet is the flirtatious, wild and free-wheeling youngest daughter. Her untamed expressiveness and vulnerability make her fascinating to readers who'll love this imaginative rendering of Lydia's life after her marriage to the villainous George Wickham. Will she mature or turn bitter? Can a girl like her really find true love?

In Lydia Bennet's Story we are taken back to Jane Austen's most beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, to a Regency world seen through Lydia's eyes where pleasure and marriage are the only pursuits. But the road to matrimony is fraught with difficulties and even when she is convinced that she has met the man of her dreams, complications arise. When Lydia is reunited with the Bennets, Bingleys, and Darcys for a grand ball at Netherfield Park, the shocking truth about her husband may just cause the greatest scandal of all
