Editorial Review Product Description When a dangerous flash flood comes to Snapfinger on the day of Florentine's funeral, Comfort learns again that life is full of surprises, good and bad, and that, ultimately, it's just good to be alive. This warm, witty novel, told in Comfort's voice (and a mix of letters, recipes, articles, and helpful hints), celebrates the joys of family, of prune bread, of freshly sharpened pencils, and of "each little bird that sings." The fairly constant philosophizing about life and death, the unusual character names (Tidings, Comfort, Joy), and the narrator's oft-precocious voice may fray a nerve or two, but readers will find more than enough humor and good old-fashioned storytelling here to make up for it. (Ages 8 to 12) --Karin Snelson Customer Reviews (42)

Editorial Review Product Description Perfectly pitched and hilariously imagined, this charming story about a universal experience will put a smile on the face of every child who has suffered a boo-boo and every parent who has struggled to come up with just the right way to give comfort. PRAISE FOR GRUMPY BIRD: - BORDERS' ORIGINAL VOICES PICK - REP PICK - FEATURED ON SCHOLASTIC'S CORPORATE CHALLENGE T-SHIRTS "Now, there is a story worth telling." --The LA Times "Tankard's deceptively simple tale is a useful tonic for moody kids -- and their parents -- but the best thing about it is the comic perfection of Bird's face as he marches along in a fury." --The Wall Street Journal * "The message that your friends still love you even when you're in a bad mood -- and that a good walk and some companionship can do wonders -- shines through." --Quill & Quire, starred review "A good addition to story times with themes of emotions or imagination." --School Library Journal "Tankard's illustrations alone will cheer up any bad mood." --Parent & Child "Keep this energetic picture book in mind for wee storytime members." -Kirkus Reviews "His appealing title and cover close-up of the hero say it all: this uncomplicated paper-over-board book describes a common condition and a way out of a bad mood for surly birds, whatever their species." -Publisher's Weekly Customer Reviews (9)

Editorial Review Product Description There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life! Misao thinks she's come to terms with being the bride of prophecy and dating a tengu lord, but is she ready to bear her handsome demon an heir?! Kyo's grandfather is impatient to secure the power of the prophecy and the line of succession, and he doesn't care which of his grandsons fathers Misao's baby. If Kyo doesn't act fast, he'll lose Misao and the leadership of the clan. But despite his desire for Misao, Kyo is hesitant to consummate their relationship, for that will bring about catastrophe...

Editorial Review Product Description The story of an Irish college student whohalf to amuse himself and halfto avoid workwrites an irreverent novel about the figures of Irish mythand legend in which characters come to life and riot against theirauthor, At Swim is a wildly comic send-up of Irish literature and culturewhich had a major influence on writers coming after O'Brien, includingAnthony Burgess, Gilbert Sorrentino, and William H. Gass (who has writtenan introduction for this edition). O'Brien opened up a whole new world of possibilities for fiction assubsequent novelists have played with his zany ideas, chief among thembeing the idea that characters in fiction have earned the right to be"recycled"after all, they've proven their reliability as characters!notput out to pasture once their stories are finished. O'Brien labored mightily to make At Swim-Two-Birds summary-proof.But here, anyway, are the bare bones: the narrator, a university student,is writing a novel, which keeps morphing from mock-heroics to middlebrownaturalism. Meanwhile, one of his characters, Dermot Trellis, is himselfwriting a Western--an Irish Western--whose cowpunching protagonistswill eventually throw off their fictional shackles and attempt to murdertheir creator. (Talk about the death of the author!) There's enoughstructural shenanigans here to keep an entire industry of critics afloat.Still, what matters most is the pungency of O'Brien's prose. His dialogueis agreeably grungy, his parodies delicious, and the narrator speaks in thesort of Jesuitical dialect that we associate with Samuel Beckett: Customer Reviews (46)

Editorial Review Product Description The Statfire Breeze steams its way north toward the Gulf of Alaska, buffeted by crisp sea winds blowing down from the Arctic. Those on board are seeking peace, relaxation, adventure, escape. But there is no escape here in this place of unspoiled natural majesty. Because terror strolls the decks even in the brilliant light of day... and death is a conspicuous, unwelcome passenger. And a former Seattle policeman -- a damaged Homicide Detective who has come to heal from fresh, stinging wounds -- will find that the grim ghosts pursuing him were not left behind ... as a pleasure cruise gone horribly wrong carries him inexorably into lethal, ever-darkening waters. He's also getting mistaken for a gold-digging gigolo by a band of middle-aged divorcées, led by one Margaret Featherman, who carries an anything-but-featherlight grudge against her ex-husband, successful neurosurgeon Harrison Featherman. Is it just a coincidence (as both claim) that Margaret and Harrison are on the same cruise ship? Or that Margaret is doing her best to seduce one of her husband's patients, who in turn has a crush on the good doctor's daughter? But the biggest potential coincidence of all is a horrific one, when Margaret is pushed overboard into the icy Alaskan waters. The only witness to the murder is an Alzheimer's victim. But when Beau starts poking around (after mistaken identity issue number two, in which the captain conveniently assumes he's an FBI agent), he discovers that Harrison was himself the target of a conservative medical ethics group with a deadly agenda. As the ship moves slowly amidst the icebergs, Beau finds out that there's a lot hidden under these particular waters. When Jance concentrates on the mechanics of her story, this Beaumont novel is perfectly entertaining. But when she strives for sentiment (or humor), her style tends toward an aw-shucks ham-handedness. Here's Beau talking about his partner, killed by an abusive ex-husband: "Her sons are orphans, and no amount of psychobabble from Dr. Majors is going to change that. No amount of talking it over and 'getting it out of my system' will alter the fact that Sue won't be there to see her boys graduate from high school or college. She'll never be the mother of the groom at a wedding or have the chance to cradle a newborn grandchild in her arms." If Beau is thinking about coming out of retirement, one hopes he'll stick to the basics. --Kelly Flynn Customer Reviews (32)

Editorial Review Product Description Joyce Carol Oates returns with a dark, romantic, and captivating tale, set in the Great Lakes region of upstate New York—the territory of her remarkably successful New York Times bestseller The Gravedigger's Daughter. Set in the mythical small city of Sparta, New York, this searing, vividly rendered exploration of the mysterious conjunction of erotic romance and tragic violence in late-twentieth-century America returns to the emotional and geographical terrain of acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates's previous bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and The Gravedigger's Daughter. When a young wife and mother named Zoe Kruller is found brutally murdered, the Sparta police target two primary suspects, her estranged husband, Delray Kruller, and her longtime lover, Eddy Diehl. In turn, the Krullers' son, Aaron, and Eddy Diehl's daughter, Krista, become obsessed with each other, each believing the other's father is guilty. Told in halves in the very different voices of Krista and Aaron, Little Bird of Heaven is a classic Oates novel in which the lyricism of intense sexual love is intertwined with the anguish of loss, and tenderness is barely distinguishable from cruelty. By the novel's end, the fated lovers, meeting again as adults, are at last ready to exorcise the ghosts of the past and come to terms with their legacy of guilt, misplaced love, and redemptive yearning.
