When Did You See Her Last? (All the Wrong Questions)

lemony Snicket • unde

Product Description <br/>In the fading town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are all the wrong questions.<br/> From School Library Journal <br/>Gr 4-6–In this follow-up to “Who Could That Be at This Hour?” (Little, Brown, 2012) 12-year-old Lemony Snicket is an apprentice in a mysterious organization and still stationed in Stain'd by the Sea with his stern and unimaginative chaperone, S. Theodora Markson. (Readers still don't know what the S. stands for.) Lemony and his mentor have been assigned to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Cleo Knight, a brilliant chemist and daughter of the richest couple in town. Markson is content to believe the far-fetched theory that Miss Knight has run away to join the circus and considers the case closed. Lemony is convinced that the girl's disappearance is connected to a string of recent crimes in town and believes that only one man can be responsible: the villainous Hangfire. With a little help from his friends (most of whom are familiar faces from the first book), Lemony sets out to find Miss Knight himself and to stop Hangfire and his dastardly accomplices in their tracks. While the abundant wordplay and several unanswered questions may trip up some younger readers, Snicket goes to great lengths to keep his audience up to speed, recounting backstory and defining advanced vocabulary in a way that is never patronizing, and is in fact fairly humorous. The author's trademark wit and talent for sustaining suspense make this fast-paced, noir mystery a fun choice for kids who enjoy a good whodunit. And for the faithful fans of Snicket's “A Series of Unfortunate Events” (HarperCollins), this is a must-have.–Liz Overberg, Darlington School, Rome, GAα(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.<br/> From Booklist <br/>In book two of the All the Wrong Questions series, we find young Lemony still in Stain’d-by-the-Sea, still in the company of mentor S. Theodora Markson, but with a new mystery to solve: Where is Miss Cleo Knight? And what is the secret project on which she has been working? But as Snicket’s pal, reporter Moxie Mallahan, knows, those aren’t the right questions, at least as far as the big picture is concerned. These are: What is this job exactly? Where did you come from? How long will you stay? When will you leave? Why are you investigating things in this town? Though the Cleo case gets closed, the larger issues remain, becoming curiouser and curiouser. While we wait for answers, Snicket introduces a sometimes charming, more often alarming cast of characters: the bickering husband-and-wife police force (and their smirking son, Stew); Pip and Squeak, the taxi-driving Bellerophon brothers; the mysterious (and cute) Ellington Feint; and the mysterious (and sinister) Hangfire—all of whom keep the pages turning. The droll young Snicket makes a perfect presenter as he careens from difficulty to difficulty, yet always with his eye on the ball. Or is it? HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The major marketing campaign continues, including a national author tour. There’s no stopping Snicket! Grades 4-7. --Ilene Cooper<br/> Review <br/>"There's no stopping Snicket!"―<br/>Booklist<br/><br/><br/>Praise for "Who Could That Be at This Hour?":<br/><br/>"A Pink Panther-esque page turner...exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious...illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this outrageous, long-overdue, middle-grade follow-up series from a truly beloved narrator."<br/>―<br/>Los Angeles Times<br/><br/>* "Wil

All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque • 2025

Discover the poignant and timeless masterpiece of war literature with Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," hailed by many as the greatest war novel of all time. This iconic work, now an Oscar-winning film streaming on Netflix, offers a gripping portrayal of the German experience during World War I.<br/>Enlist with Paul Bäumer and his classmates as they eagerly join the German army with youthful enthusiasm, only to find their world of duty, culture, and progress shattered by the harsh realities of trench warfare on the Western Front. In this gripping narrative, Paul reflects on the despair, death, and fear that permeate his young existence, vowing to fight against the senseless hatred that pits young men of the same generation against each other in different uniforms.<br/>As Paul confronts the horrors of war, Remarque skillfully crafts a narrative that explores the mundanity and misery of life on the frontlines. Pressured into patriotism by idealistic parents and a stern schoolmaster, Paul and his comrades grapple with the stark contrast between the authorities they trusted and the unimaginable danger and squalor they face.<br/>Amidst the relentless bombardment and unimaginable horrors, Remarque's searing prose brings to life the embattled consciences of soldiers, offering timeless insight into the transformation of strangers into enemies by the arbitrary "word of command." With characters whose survival is hoped for against all odds, "All Quiet on the Western Front" is a powerful exploration of the human cost of war and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who endure it. Immerse yourself in this unforgettable tale that captures the essence of the Great War and the indomitable will to survive against the backdrop of a world in its death throes.

Jane Eyre (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)

Charlotte Brontë • 2003

Charlotte Brontë characterized the eponymous heroine of her 1847 novel as being &quot;as poor and plain as myself.&quot; Presenting a heroine with neither great beauty nor entrancing charm was an unprecendented maneuver, but Brontë's instincts proved correct, for readers of her era and ever after have taken Jane Eyre into their hearts. The author drew upon her own experience to depict Jane's struggles at Lowood, an oppressive boarding school, and her troubled career as a governess. Unlike Jane, Brontë had the advantage of a warm family circle that shared and encouraged her literary pursuits. She found immediate success with this saga of an orphan girl forced to make her way alone in the world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the estate of the majestically moody Mr. Rochester, and beyond.

A Tale of Two Cities: (150th Anniversary Edition) (Signet Classics)

Charles Dickens • 2007

<b>The French Revolution comes to vivid life in Charles Dickens's famous novel about the best of times and the worst of times...</b><br><br>The storming of the Bastille…the death carts with their doomed human cargo…the swift drop of the guillotine blade—this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in his famous work <i>A Tale of Two Cities</i>. With dramatic eloquence, he brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime. With insight and compassion, Dickens casts his novel of unforgettable scenes with some memorable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken father; Charles Darnay, the lover with a secret past; and dissolute Sydney Carton, whose unlikely heroism gives his life meaning.<br><br><b>With an Introduction by Frederick Busch <br>and an Afterword by A.

<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future.

<b>Two friends form a detective agency—and must solve their first murder case—in this “sharp-witted debut” (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review) that is the first adventure in a brand-new middle grade mystery series set at a 1930s boarding school.</b><br><br>Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are best friends at Deepdean School for Girls, and they both have a penchant for solving mysteries.

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES<br/>Dear Reader,<br/>You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages.<br/>I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats. It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.<br/>With all due respect,<br/>Lemony Snicket

The Soul of an Octopus A Surprising Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness

Sy Montgomery • 2016

<b>A <i>New York Times</i> bestseller from the author of <i>The Good Good Pig</i>, this “fascinating...informative” (<i>The Daily Beast</i>) book dives into the intelligence, behavior, and emotional world of the octopus—one of the ocean’s most complex and captivating creatures—and the extraordinary bonds it forms with humans.</b><br> <br><b>Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * <i>New York Times </i>Bestseller * A <i>Huffington Post</i> Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of the Month on <i>Goodreads * Library Journal </i>Best Sci-Tech Book of the Year * An American Library Association Notable Book of the Year</b><br> <br> <b>“Sy Montgomery’s <i>The Soul of an Octopus</i> does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s <i>H Is for Hawk</i> did for raptors.” —<i>New Statesman</i>, UK</b><br> <br> <b>“One of the best science books of the year.” —<i>Science Friday</i>, NPR</b><br><br>In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food.<br> <br>Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (<i>Library Journal</i> Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, <i>The Soul of an Octopus </i>reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.
