Simon Camish, an embittered, diffident lawyer in a loveless marriage, would not have particularly noticed Rose Vassiliou had he not been asked to drive her home one night after a dinner party. Yet at one time she had been notorious-her name constantly in the news.Now, separated from her Greek husband, she lives alone with her three children. Despite all the efforts and sneers of her friends, she refuses to move from her slum house in a decaying neighborhood to which she has become attached. Gradually, Simon becomes aware that Rose is a woman of remarkable integrity and courage. He is drawn into her affairs when her husband takes legal action to reopen the question of custody of the children-a scheme for getting his wife back. And, while the precise nature of their ties eludes him, Simon comes to realize that Rose and her Greek ex-husband are forever and inextricably bound to each other.

One of the better ones!
Format: Hardcover
As law school text books go, this has definitely been one of the easier to read. I’m hoping that translates to a good grade!

Hilarious Nonfiction!
Format: Hardcover
I'm always on the lookout for a nonfiction book that will grab the students' attention. This is it! The author does a great job of melding accurate information with a fun format. Of course, there's also the narrative tension of not knowing the superpower until the very end, so readers never stop turning the pages. Am excited to see this is a series. Will order the second book today!

So much fun!
Format: Hardcover
Kids will LOVE this book. I'm an adult and I LOVED this book! Try it out ... just say "stinkbird" and "superpower" to a kid and see what happens. I'm 99.9% sure that you'll be purchasing this book OR that you'll be on your way to the library. It's adorable! It's humorous! Jill Esbaum's text paired with Bob Shea's artwork make this book a true winner. Read it and revel in the fun as stinkbird's superpower is revealed.

Here's to Stinkbird!
Format: Hardcover
I love a story where I learn something new. I think young readers will delight in following Baby Stinkbird as he discovers his superpower. While he has many amazing traits, like his poopy smell and falling into a river (both of which keep him safe from predators), he has one fabulous talent that no other baby birds have. So dive in and find out more about Stinkbird’s adventures.
