Book Description
Printz Award-winning author Meg Rosoff's latest novel is a gorgeous and unforgettable page-turner about the relationship between parents and children, love and loss. Mila has an exceptional talent for reading a room—sensing hidden facts and unspoken emotions from clues that others overlook. So when her father’s best friend, Matthew, goes missing from his upstate New York home, Mila and her beloved father travel from London to find him. She collects information about Matthew from his belongings, from his wife and baby, from the dog he left behind and from the ghosts of his past—slowly piecing together the story everyone else has missed. But just when she’s closest to solving the mystery, a shocking betrayal calls into question her trust in the one person she thought she could read best.

Book Description
Molly Bang's brilliant, insightful, and accessible treatise is now revised and expanded for its 25th anniversary. Bang's powerful ideas—about how the visual composition of images works to engage the emotions, and how the elements of an artwork can give it the power to tell a story—remain unparalleled in their simplicity and genius. Why are diagonals dramatic? Why are curves calming? Why does red feel hot and blue feel cold? First published in 1991, Picture This has changed the way artists, illustrators, reviewers, critics, and readers look at and understand art.

New York Times–Bestselling Author: “A real page-turner . . . romantic suspense that will appeal to fans of Catherine Coulter, Iris Johansen, and Linda Howard.” —Booklist Police rookie Ashley Montague is shocked by the discovery of a body on the highway—and her glimpse of a mysterious hooded figure watching from the side of the road. At another crime scene in the heart of the Everglades, Detective Jake Dilessio stares at the mutilated body of a woman—and notes the striking resemblance to previous victims he’s seen. But he put away a cult leader for those murders five years ago. Is this a copycat killing, or is the wrong man behind bars? As they join their investigations together, the last thing Ashley and Jake want or need is the electric pull of desire as they are dragged deeper into a dangerous conspiracy. Now, with time running out and their lives on the line, they have everything to fight for . . . and everything to lose. “The fast action is neatly punctuated by red herrings and false clues . . . Graham’s tight plotting, her keen sense of when to reveal and when to tease, and her eye for the Florida landscape will keep fans turning the pages.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Sage Lowery needs a break after the disaster of her last relationship. Ready for a fresh start in a cozy house in the Berkshires, the plan is to focus on her photography, fix up her new house, and forget about her crash-and-burn love life. But fate has other plans for her when she meets Rowan Kennedy, the sexy electrician who had intended to buy her new house for himself. Rowan Kennedy is a single dad with a big chip on his shoulder. He doesn't need any distractions from his goal of providing a stable home for his daughter, especially not a gorgeous woman who snatched his dream house from under his nose. It’s easy to be angry and resentful toward the new owner, until he meets her face to face. They agree to keep things casual, until small sparks light a fire they can’t contain. Once they start to fall for each other, secrets and misunderstandings threaten to ruin everything. When Sage is given reason to make her doubt Rowan's intentions, she’s convinced he's just the next in a long line of jerks who broke her heart. They both have scars from their pasts, and they both crave a fresh start. But can they overcome their fears and trust each other enough to take a chance on love? Picture Me Yours is a heartwarming romance about finding home in the most unexpected place.

Book Description
In 2001, Quentin Blake - the first Children's Laureate - chose twenty-six of his favourite paintings for an exhibition at the National Gallery. Very different artworks were chosen, some by fine artists and some by children's illustrators, but they all had one thing in common: a story to tell. The accompanying book urges children to use their imaginations and look for the stories in the pictures. Reissued with a new introduction from the author, Tell Me A Picture will show a new generation the adventures that await in looking at art.

Book Description
In Civilization, a top curator offers an unprecedented look at contemporary photographs that track the visual threads of humankind’s frenetic, collective life across the globe. We hurtle together into the future at ever-increasing speed—or so it seems to the collective psyche. Perpetually evolving, morphing, building and demolishing, rethinking, reframing and reshaping the world around and ahead—and the people within it—an emerging, planetary-wide Civilization is our grand, global, collective endeavor. Never before in human history have so many people been so interconnected, and so interdependent. With close to 500 images, many previously unpublished, this landmark publication takes stock of the material and spiritual cultures that make up "civilization." Ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from our great collective achievements to our ruinous collective failings, Civilization: The Way We Live Now explores the complexity of contemporary civilization through the rich, nuanced language of photography. Featuring images by some 140 photographers—from Reiner Riedler’s families at leisure parks, Raimond Wouda’s high schools, Wang Qingsong’s Work, Work, Work and Cindy Sherman’s Society Portraits, to Lauren Greenfield’s displays of ostentatious wealth, Edward Burtynsky’s oil fields, Pablo Lopez Luz’s views on a sprawling contemporary megapolis, Thomas Struth’s images of high technology, Xing Danwen’s electronic wastelands and Taryn Simon’s Contraband, Civilization draws together the threads of humankind’s ever-changing, frenetic, collective life across the globe. Visually epic, Civilization contains eight thematic chapters, each featuring powerful imagery and accompanied by provocative essays, quotes, and concise statements by the artists themselves.
