The Angel's Game
by
Ruiz Zafon, Carlos
In the tradition of Dickens, who wrote books that enjoyed massive success in their time, The Angel's Game is a guaranteed page turner with many twists and turns of plot, a touch of horror, and much suspense. The story takes us back to the gothic universe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, the Sempere and Son bookshop, and the winding streets of Barcelona's old quarter, in a masterful tale about the magic of books and the darkest corners of the human soul. The book is an examination of the power of books to change our lives in ways we don't even realize.--Milane Christiansen, The Book Works (Del Mar, CA) |

"True literature can exist only where it is created, not by diligent and trustworthy officials, but by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels, and
skeptics."

Snowflake Bentley
by
Martin, Jacqueline Briggs,
Azarian, Mary
In among all the Christmas tales and stories, how about a little nonfiction? This beautifully illustrated 1999 Caldecott Medal winner tells the true story of Wilson Bentley of Vermont. Bentley was fascinated by snow from a young age. After years of trial and error he discovered a method of photographing snowflakes, and it was he who discovered the immense variety of snowflake shapes and patterns. Children and adults alike will love this book: Bentley’s enthusiasm and curiosity, dedication, and eventual triumph in such an ephemeral field gives hope to everyone. |
