A Deathly Irish Secret
Deathly secrets bog Blanche down in the idyllic Irish hillside... The last thing Blanche Murninghan expects when she answers the phone is to hear her mother's estate lawyer on the other side of the line.

More impressively, the news he brings is no small thing: Blanche is the last remaining heir to an Irish castle. He'd finally tracked down any remaining relatives and found them there, at Dunfaedan.

Mates, Dates, and Sequin Smiles
Izzie, Lucy, and T. J. crowded round and stared at me, like they were waiting for a circus freak to begin her act. I shook my head. "You're going to have to open your mouth some time," said Lucy. "Come on, put your hand down." I shook my head. "It's horrible. I look like a can opener." Nesta is devastated. She has to wear braces. She thinks that no boy will ever look at her again without thinking of the killer shark in Jaws. And practicing a smile that doesn't show her teeth isn't helping. There's only one option: to become a recluse. Lucy, Izzie, and T. J. try to help Nesta understand that her looks haven't changed, but Nesta's not convinced. Things change, however, when she meets Luke, who not only restores her confidence in her ability to attract boys, but also introduces her to a whole new side of her personality.

Most important, the book demonstrates the value of applying "architectural thinking" to the many serious issues - from global warming and homeland security to accessibility and diversity - facing our world today."--BOOK JACKET.

She was surrounded by a clan of families. They were determined to achieve a better lifestyle through sheer hard work, struggling to overcome hardships and failures on th...
