Now a major motion picture - Originally published as The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud In a snug New England fishing village, Charlie St. Cloud tends the lawns and monuments of an ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried. After surviving the car accident that claimed his brother's life, Charlie is graced with an extraordinary gift: He can see, talk to, and even play catch with Sam's spirit. Into this magical world comes Tess Carroll, a captivating woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that propels her into Charlie's life. Their beautiful and uncommon connection leads to a race against time and a choice between death and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and letting go -- and the discovery that miracles can happen if we simply open our hearts.
When eleven-year-old Charlotte, who prefers the spunkier moniker Charlie, vanishes from her apartment in a public housing high-rise, the real-world consequences for her aunt (and newly adoptive mother) include a visit from Child Protective Services. But Charlie has been whisked away to Eridul, where her mysterious powers are coveted by warring factions who seek to heal-or destroy-their fractured world.This holiday fantasy, the prelude to the forthcoming series The Chronicles of Eridul, deftly combines the menace of traditional fairy tales, a deep-rooted struggle between good and evil in an animal-ruled kingdom, and contemporary economic struggles tinged with Scrooge-y villainy.The author keeps the reader's attention by masterfully using dialogue to establish character traits and by cutting between Charlie's adventures in a majestic, post-apocalyptic forest and the events in her depressed hometown, where struggling families face endemic corruption. Sisterly bonds are key to the narrative, including the antelope Adeline and great blue heron Millicent, once as close as siblings, and now the leaders of opposing forces in Eridul. The many characters in the story range from venal to benevolent, embodying the fears and promise of the Christmas season.Juxtaposing holiday morality tales of just rewards for good behavior with a magical realm where animals unite to save their dying world, Charlie Saves Christmas offers young readers a vision of triumphant goodness-one that doesn't come without a fight.Takeaway: A young girl discovers her own power and the true meaning of family in this epic adventure.Great for fans of: Tamora Pierce's Alanna: The First Adventure, Liz Braswell's A Twisted Tale series.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A captivating chronicle of the incredible story of one of America's most iconic, charismatic, and still polarizing figures--baseball immortal Pete Rose--and an exquisite cultural history of baseball and America in the second half of the twentieth century - "Comprehensive, compulsively readable and wholly terrific."--The Wall Street Journal "Long before the inquiry into Ohtani's ties to betting, there was Pete Rose....Charlie Hustle chronicles one of the most polarizing figures in sports."--NPR, All Things Considered "Baseball biography at its best. With Charlie Hustle, Pete Rose finally gets the book he deserves, and baseball fans get the book we've been craving, a hard-hitting, beautifully-written tale that will stand for years to come as the definitive account of one of the most fascinating figures in American sports history."--Jonathan Eig, New York Times bestselling author of King: A Life Pete Rose is a legend. A baseball god. He compiled more hits than anyone in the history of baseball, a record he set decades ago that still stands today. He was a working-class white guy from Cincinnati who made it; less talented than tough, and rough around the edges. He was everything that America wanted and needed him to be, the American dream personified, until he wasn't. In the 1980s, Pete Rose came to be at the center of one of the biggest scandals in baseball history. He kept secrets, ran with bookies, took on massive gambling debts, and he was magnificently, publicly cast out for betting on baseball and lying about it. The revelations that followed ruined him, changed life in Cincinnati, and forever altered the game. Charlie Hustle tells the full story of one of America's most epic tragedies--the rise and fall of Pete Rose. Drawing on firsthand interviews with Rose himself and with his associates, as well as on investigators' reports, FBI and court records, archives, a mountain of press coverage, Keith O'Brien chronicles how Rose fell so far from being America's "great white hope." It is Pete Rose as we've never seen him before. This is no ordinary sport biography, but cultural history at its finest. What O'Brien shows is that while Pete Rose didn't change, America and baseball did. This is the story of that change.
