Editorial Review Product Description It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. Customer Reviews (135)

Editorial Review Product Description Amazon Exclusive: Susan Elizabeth Phillips Interviews Jennifer Crusie Susan Elizabeth Phillips is the bestselling author of Nobody’s Baby But Mine, What I Did for Love, and many others.She is the only four-time recipient of the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious “Favorite Book of the Year” Award and was also honored with their “Lifetime Achievement” Award.Read on for Susan Elizabeth’s hilarious and entertaining conversation with Jennifer Crusie: ![]() Susan Elizabeth Phillips: Exactly why is Susan Elizabeth Phillips your dear friend? Jennifer Crusie: Susan Elizabeth Phillips is everything I aspire to be in a writer, a Comic Genius with Incredible Insight into the Human Condition, so I stay close so I can be just like her.I remember the first time we met.It was in an elevator in Dallas.It was magic. She got off at the next floor. SEP: What do you like most about Susan Elizabeth Phillips? JC: I think it's her modesty, her willingness to give to others.And her shoes. SEP: Which Susan Elizabeth Phillips book is your favorite, or do you love them all too much to choose? JC: Heaven, Texas because I love a Cinderella story. SEP: Oh, wait!This is supposed to be about YOU?Sheesh...For those who haven’t read it and are waiting breathlessly, share a little something about your new book Maybe This Time? JC: Maybe This Time is my version of The Turn of the Screw. It's about a woman who goes back to tell her ex-husband that she's marrying somebody else and takes a job caring for two orphans he's inherited who are living in southern Ohio.When she gets to southern Ohio, she finds out the kids are delinquents and the house is haunted.Also, the ex-husband?Still very hot. SEP: What is special about this book? JC: It's a ghost story!And a love story!With kids! It's a Romantic Comedy Ghost Story With Kids.By me! (You don' t have a copy because it's not out yet.We'll send you one as soon as we get them.Pretend you've read it and it's the most amazing book EVER.I did for you.)SEP: What gave you the most difficulty writing Maybe This Time and what gave you the most joy? JC: Difficult--Ghosts.Ghosts are not easy to write without getting cheesy.Also, I generally do not write horror so the I-wants-to-make-your-skin-creep parts were a real departure for me. Joy--The kids.I'm living with two little girls right now, ages eight and 11, and I stole from them to write Alice.Alice was so much fun to write.Not so much fun to live with in the book, but to write?Alice rocks.SEP: How do the stories you want to tell now differ from the ones you wanted to tell when you started writing? How are they the same? JC: Such good questions.Are you a writer, too?Oh, wait.Never mind. I had no idea how difficult writing fiction was when I started so I just wrote stories.Then I Learned My Craft.Now I spend a lot of time staring into space, thinking about how much I don't know and panicking.So it's harder.But the books are better, more complex, better structured, better written.Also I'm kind of over that Oh-My-God-They-Have-To-Have-Sex-Right-Now-Let-Me-Describe-It-In-Graphic-Detail.I figure anybody reading my books has either had sex or seen it on cable so maybe there's something more interesting in the characters' lives to describe in depth.Like, oh, GHOSTS!SEP: You're an amazingly entertaining writer.Are you funny in real life? (I know the answer to this, but I'm thinking all of your readers might not.) JC: Well, not as funny as Susan Elizabeth Phillips, who is a Comic Genius, but I have inspired a few chuckles here and there.Mostly, no. SEP: Once I start a Jennifer Crusie book, I can't put it down. I know your loyal readers feel the same. What's your secret? (Please reply in 10 words or less because I hate making things too easy on you.) JC: I do everything Susan Elisabeth Phillips does, except backwards in high heels.(That's twelve words.We can cut the "Elizabeth Phillips" part if you want.) SEP: Did you finally get your messy office cleaned up so it looks as good as mine? (Oops...This is about you.I keep forgetting.) JC: Yes.And then it got messy again.Because I'm a creative person and we creative people cannot be bound by the shackles of conventionality that stifle the expression of those who feel compelled to clean their offices.How's your office look?

8. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon | |

Editorial Review Product Description Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca Customer Reviews (1642)

Editorial Review Product Description The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since. Timothy Egan’s critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect” (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is arguably the best nonfiction book yet” (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature.

Editorial Review Product Description A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant. An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come. Customer Reviews (2268)

Editorial Review Product Description But with the previous book, Crown of Swords, and now withPath of Daggers, the series is in a bit of a holding pattern. Pathcontinues the halting gait of the current plot line: Rand is still on thebrink of losing it, all the while juggling the political machinationsaround him and again taking to the field against the Seanchan. The rest ofthe Two Rivers kids and company don't seem to be moving much faster. Egwenecontinues to slowlyconsolidate her hold as the "true" Amyrlin (finally getting closer to TarValon and the inevitable confrontation with Elaida), and Nynaeve and Elaynekeep on wandering toward the Lion Throne, again on the run from theSeanchan. Mat Cauthon is barely mentioned, and fellow ta'verenPerrin keeps busy with politics in Ghealdan. The ending does providepromise, though, that book nine might match the pace and passion of theprevious books. If you're already hooked, you could sooner overcome a weave of Compulsionthan avoid picking up a copy of Path of Daggers. But if you're newto the series, start at the beginning with the engrossing,much-better-paced Eye of theWorld. --Paul Hughes Customer Reviews (1720)
