The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (annotated)
Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Twain’s tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life and array of irresistible characters—the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky—as well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave...
Beloved by readers, Sophie Kinsella's national best seller, Confessions of a Shopaholic, introduced the irrepressible one-woman shopping phenomenon, Becky Bloomwood. Now, in this hilarious follow-up, Becky and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic. With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. And worse, figuring out how to "pack light." But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business - and he asks Becky to go with him!
TRIPLETS is a much-loved series from a bestselling author, Holly Webb, rejacketed for a new generation of fans. Disaster strikes the Ryan household when Becky's rats escape from their cage and decide to snack on Annabel's bridesmaid dress (the one she's wearing to Auntie Janet's wedding in two weeks' time!). How on earth is Becky going to salvage the dress without Mum finding out? ...This calls for some serious triplet teamwork!
Becky is up to her old tricks, here in Shopaholic to the Stars. Luke has a job opportunity to work with a famous actress in Hollywood, and Becky sees stars- the opportunities are endless in LA for encountering celebrities, and the shopping isn't bad either. She is gung-ho to find a celeb and act as their personal stylist. A seemingly perfect fit for Becky's skills, and an excuse to shop to her heart's content, because after all it's a business expense and therefore necessary.
It's hard to express the feelings of joy that accompany the arrival of a new baby girl-but Sugar and Spice gets it just right. Becky Kelly's feathery soft and spirit-infused watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the delicate beauty of a "freshly arrived" little one. Paired with heartfelt yet playful verse, Becky's touching images offer a vivid reminder that little girls are much more than just sugar and spice. This little gem of a book is the perfect keepsake gift for any parents lucky enough to be welcoming a sweet little girl into their lives.
