 Our price: $9.95 Exploring life, relationships & love within 100 Miles.  Our price: $19.99 Rich with local history.  Our price: $19.99 Offers a historic look at Quincy, California through images.  Our price: $35.00 Copious information about the corporate chemical companies—makers of war materials—and their successful efforts to push poisons into agriculture.  Our price: $14.00 A sweeping saga of the western frontier in the 1870s, filled with colorful characters, stark images, and absurd situations. Edward Turrentine Bayard III ("Turpentine"), a tubercular easterner, is sent to a Nebraska sanitarium to heal his lungs. Instead, through a series of mishaps and coincidences, this wide-eyed innocent is launched on a cross-country odyssey, involving wealthy entrepreneurs, Mormons, Indians, and a variety of rustic frontier types. There's no shortage of sudden death and grim gore, all of which remains comically on the surface. Characters come and go, often violently, but astonishingly, the sweetness of the story keeps it afloat.  Our price: $25.95 A Thousand Splendid Suns brings Hosseini's compassionate storytelling and his sense of personal and national tragedy to a tale of two women that is weighted equally with despair and grave hope.  Our price: $17.00 A super novel for tweens and teens. It is authentically written from the perspectives of two high school students, Walk and Kristen, in alternating chapters. Though the characters are in high school, it's mom-approved and readable for 5th grade and up. Set in affluent Mill Valley, the kids cope with issues of race, being "fat," difficult family relationships, academic pressure, class struggles, and mean "friends." They learn that each person has a unique contribution to make, and that trees always make a sound when they fall.  Our price: $8.99 Great, fun book for young children. Wonderful way to introduce young ones to the ideas of eating right and staying fit so they can be healthy and strong. |
