The Amazing, Enlightening and Absolutely True Adventures of Katherine Whaley
This is a story about a girl, born at the beginning of the 20th century. She grows up in a small river town in upstate New York. One day the mysterious Charles Varnay, an eccentric who dresses in the style of an 18th century dandy, comes to town, his sole companion a remarkably intelligent dog named Rousseau. Varnay wants to star Katherine in a movie serial he plans to make, called The Goddess of Enlightenment. Katherine is rather put off when she discovers that he expects her to appear nude in this film. But even more strange is the film’s subject matter: It has to do with seven metal urns that Varnay claims are actual recordings of the voice of Jesus Christ which, he says, contain an urgent message that the modern world needs to hear!
Sam Wu Is Not Afraid of Ghosts
“Reluctant readers and fans of the Wimpy Kid series and its ilk will appreciate the book’s dynamic type, graphics galore, cartoonish illustrations, and ironic footnotes.”—Kirkus Don’t call him scaredy-cat Sam, because Sam Wu IS NOT AFRAID of ghosts! Except . . . he totally is. Can he conquer his fear by facing the ghost that lives in the walls of his house? After an unfortunate (and very embarrassing) incident in the Space Museum, Sam goes on a mission to prove to the school bully, and all his friends, that he’s not afraid of anything—just like the heroes on his favorite show, Space Blasters. And when it looks like his house is haunted, Sam gets the chance to prove how brave he can be. A funny, touching, and charming story of ghost hunting, escaped pet snakes, and cats with attitude!

The Christine Emerald
The Christine Emerald, a gem in the class of the Star of India, is the target of a not too smart gang of jewel thieves. The difficulty lies in the fact that the emerald is rarely seen except on the lovely neck of Mrs. Jonathan Prescott, the wife of a multi-millionaire owner of a newspaper and broadcasting empire. Billy and his "gang" have devised a plan to remove the emerald from Mrs. Prescott's neck during an anniversary party attended by the elite of the city. Their success becomes more and more unlikely as one difficulty after another arises, but Billy pursues the plan to a surprising finale. The Christine Emerald is a fun read reminiscent of stories told during the Roaring Twenties.
Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives
Katherine Mansfield’s French Lives explores how both the literary, cultural, editorial and biographical influence of French arts and philosophy, and life as an émigré in France shaped Mansfield’s evolution as a key modernist writer, while setting her within the geographies and cultural dynamics of Anglo-French modernism. Mansfield’s many stays in France were decisive in intellectual, personal and psychological terms: discovering ‘Murry’s Paris’ and the Left Bank; escaping to the War Zone to join Francis Carco; living as a civilian in wartime during the bombardments of Paris; travelling and finding lodgings as a single woman in war-ravaged towns; the experience of bereavement and debilitating ill-health abroad; and the joys and pitfalls for an outsider of a foreign land and idiom.
Sovereignty's Entailments
Based on over five years of ethnographic research [carried out] in the southwest Yukon, Sovereignty's Entailments is a close ethnographic analysis of everyday practices of state formation in a society whose members do not take for granted the cultural entailments of sovereignty.
Beyond the Nightmare
For three years, the world suffered from a pandemic. Millions died, and countries were destroyed. The United States was not spared and divided into east and west. In the east, the government was controlled by the military. In a desperate attempt to fund a bankrupt budget, it turned to drug and human trafficking. The western states set up a provisional government and supported an underground movement in the east. Five years after the last pandemic, an underground unit in the east was ordered to disband and its members were to escape. As Frank Edwards began his escape, he wanted to escape not only from the nightmare that he had been fighting in the east, but from his own personal nightmares. H...
