Cobweb ghosts are inconvenient—especially grumpy ones with bad breath. Don’t they know silence is golden? Johnny Strong is the expert; he hasn’t spoken in two years. Not one word to anyone except the ghost. The main purpose of life is to avoid people and not get noticed. Friends? He doesn’t need them; and certainly nobody wants him despite what the ghost says. Until a new boy appears at Windybank—Finn Lyons, teenage wizard. He eats frogs, concocts potions, and is always hungry. Not only does Finn stand up for Johnny; he actively seeks his company and soon becomes part of life. First love; family and words; a heady mix to go in the potion but how will it all turn out? Hubble bubble; Johnny Strong’s in trouble! Silence is not always golden in this sweet, zany story of the purest magic.

After Hours

By: Claire Kennedy

Scandals and hook-ups abound in a summertime restaurant drama where four teens are all willing to do whatever it takes to make it through the workday…and hopefully to win the money in the after-hours dare-based game of Tips. Isa, Xavi, Peter, and Finn know that a job at the high-end Waterside Café isn’t just about waiting tables. It’s about the gossip, the hook-ups, the after-hours parties, and, most of all, it’s about Tips. Tips—the high-stakes game based on dares. Whoever completes the most dares wins the collected money. A sum that could change a wasted summer into a Summer to Remember. Isa is the new girl with an embarrassing secret, and as long as she stays on top of her game, she sees no reason why anyone could ever find out. Xavi will do anything for the money…absolutely anything. Peter, Xavi’s stepbrother, has been in love with her for years, and he thinks the game is the perfect time to confess his feelings. Finn is in the game just for the thrill. He has enough tips coming in to keep him happy…even if those tips come with some conditions. From seduction to stealing to threats, the dares are a complete free-for-all, and only the best can win.

Time Flies

By: Claire Cook

After accompanying Melanie and B.J. on their hysterical road trip, readers will feel like they’ve made friends for life.”—Kirkus TWO BEST FRIENDS. A HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. AND A ROLLICKING ROAD TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. “A spunky, lighthearted road trip down memory lane. Another delightful beach read from Claire Cook.”—Booklist Years ago, Melanie followed her husband Kurt from the New England beach town where their two young sons were thriving to the suburbs of Atlanta. She’s carved out a life as a successful metal sculptor, but when Kurt leaves her for another woman, having the tools on hand to cut up their marriage bed is small consolation. She’s old enough to know that high school reunions are often a big disappointment, but when her best friend makes her buy a ticket and an old flame gets in touch to see if she’ll be going, she fantasizes that returning to her past might help her find her future . . . until her highway driving phobia resurfaces and threatens to hold her back from the adventure of a lifetime. Time Flies is an epic trip filled with fun, heartbreak, and friendship that explores what it takes to conquer your worst fears . . . so you can start living your future. From the New York Times bestselling author of the much-loved book Must Love Dogs, made into a romantic comedy movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack and now a 7-book series, comes a feisty and fabulous novel about picking up the pieces and reinventing your life when everything falls apart. “Genuine, deftly drawn characters. . . Cook’s poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires . . . It’s the perfect companion for an afternoon under a beach umbrella with sand between your toes.” —Savannah Magazine “Cook’s characters are always looking for the next exciting chapter in their lives . . . Time Flies takes her trademark theme in a thought-provoking new direction . . . the resulting story is both touching and hilarious.”— The Bourne Courier “Cook delivers again . . . Past and present riotously collide and give birth to an ending as heartfelt as it is hopeful.”— Shelf Awareness “The perfect summer beach read . . . Funny, charming and downright lovable!”— Times Record News “The beach-bag-worthy story is one that may appeal to those who can commiserate with starting over.”— The Free Lance-Star “Laugh-out-loud funny . . . Time Flies is the perfect novel to read on your summer vacation or while lounging by the pool.”— The News-Gazette “More than a beach read, Claire Cook’s Time Flies is an absorbing and humorous look at lives lived during a particular era. . . . The author’s facility with setting evocative scenes past and present is refreshing. —New York Journal of Books “Full of engaging characters and humorous situations . . . This lighthearted story will have readers plumbing its hidden depths and enjoying the ride.” —Romance Reviews Today “The exuberant and charming Claire Cook is one of the sassiest and funniest creators of contemporary women’s fiction.”— The Times-Picayune “Reading Claire Cook might be the most fun you have all summer.”— Elin Hilderbrand “Charming, engagingly quirky, and full of fun, Claire Cook just gets it.”— Meg Cabot “Claire Cook has an original voice, sparkling style, and a window int family life that will make you laugh and cry.”— Adriana Trigiani “Inimitably warm and witty . . . Tender, touching, and terribly, terribly funny!”— Mary Kay Andrews

Bitter Orange

Bitter Orange

By: Claire Fuller

An NPR Best Book of the Year "Unsettling and eerie, Bitter Orange is an ideal chiller." —Time Magazine From the author of Our Endless Numbered Days and Swimming Lessons, Bitter Orange is a seductive psychological portrait, a keyhole into the dangers of longing and how far a woman might go to escape her past. From the attic of Lyntons, a dilapidated English country mansion, Frances Jellico sees them—Cara first: dark and beautiful, then Peter: striking and serious. The couple is spending the summer of 1969 in the rooms below hers while Frances is researching the architecture in the surrounding gardens. But she’s distracted. Beneath a floorboard in her bathroom, she finds a peephole that gives her access to her neighbors' private lives. To Frances’s surprise, Cara and Peter are keen to get to know her. It is the first occasion she has had anybody to call a friend, and before long they are spending every day together: eating lavish dinners, drinking bottle after bottle of wine, and smoking cigarettes until the ash piles up on the crumbling furniture. Frances is dazzled. But as the hot summer rolls lazily on, it becomes clear that not everything is right between Cara and Peter. The stories that Cara tells don’t quite add up, and as Frances becomes increasingly entangled in the lives of the glamorous, hedonistic couple, the boundaries between truth and lies, right and wrong, begin to blur. Amid the decadence, a small crime brings on a bigger one: a crime so terrible that it will brand their lives forever.

The Celtic Book of Seasonal Meditations

By: Claire Hamilton

The ancient Celts lived in harmony with nature, celebrating the season through raucous festivals, which always included feisty tales with morals and soul-stirring poetry. The Celtic Book of Seasonal Meditations offers an inspirational collection of prose, verse, and meditations drawn from ancient lore and designed to draw modern seekers into the rhythms of nature. Claire Hamilton's overall introduction, simply and briefly, gives readers the tools they need to interpret the recurring symbols and meanings in these excerpts. She gives ideas for meditation using the readings--how to invoke nature, how to go to the Well of Wisdom, how to meet the Goddess in one of her many aspects. The body of the book is organized by season, each beginning with a short introduction of Celtic practices and beliefs particular to the season. What follows are the tales of warriors and lovers, goddesses and gods, and maidens and faeries, the songs of heroes and poetry in celebration of nature. Meet Queen Medbh, an independent ruler who chose her husband by the qualities he must lack--meanness, fear, and jealousy. Spring has its Meditation on Air, and other ways to consider the meaning of things new, not just at the time of year. Ditto all the other seasons. This collection offers a wealth of scholarship and information in an easy-to-understand and use format. Summer' from Amergin's Poem of the SeasonsSummer is the season for long journeys, silent is the wood of the tall trees undisturbed by wind, green is its clothing, a sheltering canopy. The water sucks and swirls in the stream and there is warmth now in the very clods of earth. A celebration of the ancient Celts and their spirituality--use it for individualmeditation or in group rituals and practice. Mythic tales of warriors and faeries, meditations on the meanings of elements, and the symbols of nature. Celtic wisdom and lore made simple and interesting.
