John and Nicky hate the health food that their Aunt Rebecca gives them, and would give anything for chips, chocolate cake – and especially spaghetti. Then they enter a competition which changes their mealtimes – for good.
Melbourne, 1929. The year starts off for glamorous private investigator Phryne Fisher with a rather trying heat wave and more mysteries than you could prod a parasol at. Simultaneously investigating the apparent suicide death of a man on St Kilda beach and trying to find a lost, illegimate child who could be heir to a wealthy old woman's fortune, Phryne needs all her wits about her, particularly when she has to tangle with a group of thoroughly unpleasant Bright Young Things.
On another day of "blisters and blasters and pretzel disasters" it seems that no one can bring order to the streets of Tangle Town, until a no-nonsense farm girl with the proper barnyard experience makes the topsy-turvy town a little less confusing.
Alfred’s Camera - A Collection of Picture Puzzles
Where is Alfred's camera? The answer to this question will take readers through the pages of this campy and unusual book and into the photographer dog's ten favorite collections—each one a fascinating jumble studded with dozens of hidden objects. Hilarious photographs of Alfred are inset in fancy gold frames on each spread, overlapping the intriguing collections: a tangle of keys, a batch of doggy treats, a box of shells.

No Fond Return of Love
Dulcie Mainwaring, the heroine of the book, is one of those "excellent women" who is always helping others and never looking out for herself- especially in the realms of love. The novel has a delicate tangle of schemes and unfulfilled dreams, hidden secrets and a castle or two. Told wonderfully in the deadpan honesty that has become a Pym hallmark, this book is a delight.
