Come away into a mysterious little cottage hidden deep within a lovely wooded area of the coastal mountains of California, known as the Carmel Highlands... When budding young artist Sara Lee Walker's parents suddenly decide to move the family from New Jersey to California, she is bewildered, lonely and misses her two best friends desperately. That is, until the day she finds herself out exploring with her cat Jaxx Tuxedo, and they stumble upon the cottage. And from that day forward-their lives are changed forever. The cottage is an enchanted place long deserted, and touched by "fire stroke". Within its walls, impossible things happen. In this first book of her Room of Enchantment series, debut author C. L. Colletto weaves an intriguing and thought-provoking tapestry of adventure and fantasy laced with lively emotion and subtle humor. This is a delicious tale featuring vibrant, memorable characters and vivid scene presentations. The unusual concepts it introduces are interesting and certain to appeal to the young, as well as the mentally agile young-at-heart. Its delightful magic lingers-long after the final page has been turned.
Sara Paretsky is known for her influential V.I. Warshawski series, which transformed the masculine hard-boiled detective formula into a vehicle for feminist values. But Paretsky does more than this. Her novels also illustrate the extent to which detective fiction acts as a literature of trauma, allowing Paretsky to address the politics of agency in ways that go beyond the personal, for trauma always has a social and a political dimension. Paretsky’s work also exploits the way detective fiction mirrors the writing of history. Here, Paretsky uses the form to expose the partiality of historical accounts – whether they be personal, institutional, or national – that authorise ‘forgetting’ of a particularly insidious kind. Significantly, all these issues are explored within the framework of the traditional hard-boiled detective novel. As a result, Paretsky’s achievement forces us to acknowledge the deeply subversive potential of detective fiction.
“It’s the vivid, insightful depiction of Sara’s internal struggles that readers will remember.” —Booklist In this prequel to the Edgar Award–winning OCDaniel, fan-favorite Sara quests for “normal” and finds something even better along the way.Sara’s Rules to Be Normal 1. Stop taking your pills 19. Make a friend 137. Don’t put mayonnaise on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sara wants one thing: to be normal. What she has instead are multiple diagnoses from Dr. Ring. Sara’s constant battle with False Alarm—what she calls panic attacks—and other episodes cause her to isolate herself. She rarely speaks, especially not at school, and so she doesn’t have any friends. But when she starts group therapy she meets someone new. Talkative and outgoing Erin doesn’t believe in “normal,” and Sara finds herself in unfamiliar territory: at the movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her crush—in short, with a friend. But there’s more to Erin than her cheerful exterior, and Sara begins to wonder if helping Erin will mean sacrificing their friendship.
