Book Description
For many generations, a group of owls lived together in a wood filled with towering trees. As the owls grew, so did the treesand so did their happy owl community. The nights were filled with the sound of hoots and flapping wings as owls visited each others trees, family to family. All was well in the forest until, one day, things changed. One morning, the owls wake to find a bunch of strange equipment in their forest. The sound of hoots is replaced by the loud sound of hammers and saws. Then, the worst thing possible happens: a tree is cut down! A family of owls flees their home and hoots their goodbyes, but they are only the first of many to be forced to leave. The owl forest has been chosen as the site of a new housing development. Before houses are built, the trees must go. Will the owls be forced to leave the place theyve called home for generations? If they do leave, where will they go? Sometimes, humans dont give any thought to these questions, but its about time we did!

Book Description
The lives of three very different women intersect in shocking ways in this “outstanding psychological thriller” (Library Journal, starred review), by the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookseller. In the autumn of 1960, Angie Glass is living an idyllic life in her Wisconsin hometown. At twenty-one, she’s married to handsome, charming Paul, and has just given birth to a baby boy. But one phone call changes her life forever. When Paul’s niece, Ruby, tells them that her father, Henry, has committed suicide and her mother, Silja, has gone missing, the newlyweds drop everything to be by Ruby’s side in the small upstate town of Stonekill, New York. Angie thinks they’re coming to the rescue of Paul’s grief-stricken young niece, but seventeen-year-old Ruby, self-possessed and enigmatic, resists Angie’s attempts to nurture her. While taking up residence in Henry and Silja’s eerie, ultra-modern house on the edge of the woods, Angie discovers astonishing truths about the complicated Glass family. As she learns about Henry and Silja’s spiraling relationship, and Ruby’s role in keeping them together, and apart, Angie begins to question the very fabric of her own marriage. As details of the past unfold and Ruby dissects her parents’ state of affairs, the Glass women realize what they’re capable of when it comes to love, secrets, and ultimate betrayal. As turbulent and electrified as the period it’s set in, The Glass Forest is an “intoxicating slow burn [that] builds to a conclusion rife with shocking reveals.” (Publishers Weekly)
