Whispering statue7/6/2023 She has been credited with the creation of Nancy’s plucky, adventuresome personality, and is considered by many lovers and collectors as the “truest” of all of Nancy’s ghostwriters. Benson penned twenty-three of the first thirty Nancy Drews. The Whispering Statue was penned by Mildred Wirt Benson. Although all the Nancy Drew novels are attributed to the writer, a Carolyn Keene, the series was in fact written by a collection of twenty-eight ghostwriters. Consisting of 175 volumes published between 1930-2003, the Nancy Drew books were commissioned by the publisher Edward Stratemeyer to be the female counterpart to the Hardy Boys. The Whispering Statue is the fourteenth volume of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. An attempted kidnapping, a nearly disastrous sailboat collision, and an encounter with a dishonest sculptor are just a few of the exciting challenges that Nancy is faced with as she gathers evidence against a clever ring of art thieves. Despite these precautions, danger stalks Nancy’s every move. To solve both mysteries, the famous young detective disguises herself and assumes a false identity. The second mystery revolves around the baffling theft of a beautiful marble statue. Horace Merriam commissioned an art dealer to sell that may be too good to be true. The first concerns a valuable collection of rare books that Mrs. Once again, she faces to puzzling mysteries simultaneously.

Goodnight moon book7/6/2023 This exercise feels dangerous, since a close reading may raise more questions than answers (when was the bunny planning to eat that mush, anyway?). Reviewers have described the book as less a story than “an incantation,” and writers on the craft of writing have labored to tease out the strands of its genius. Unlike so many children’s books, with their pat plots and clumsy didactics, it’s also one that parents can stand rereading-and not only for its soporific effect on their sons and daughters. The text she jotted down upon waking is at once both cozy and unsettling, mimicking and inducing the unmoored feeling that comes with drifting away to sleep. It has been translated into at least a dozen languages, from Spanish to Hmong, and countless parents around the world have read it to their sleepy children.Īuthor Margaret Wise Brown, subject of a new biography, based Goodnight Moon on her own childhood ritual of saying goodnight to the toys and other objects in the nursery she shared with her sister Roberta, a memory that came back to her in a vivid dream as an adult. Goodnight Moon has sold more than 48 million copies since it was published in 1947. The plot could not be simpler: A young bunny says goodnight to the objects and creatures in a green-walled bedroom, drifting gradually to sleep as the lights dim and the moon glows in a big picture window. Mister monday book7/6/2023 Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'. By the end, you might be winded from all the fantastic explanation, but you'll definitely be salivating for what's to come. After an action-packed crescendo to the book's middle - when Arthur finally learns his destiny - Nix keeps the drama going and doesn't let it fall. With a weapon-wielding hero and a villain who doesn't make Mondays any nicer, Nix's Keys to the Kingdom launch is imaginative and gripping. Thankfully, Arthur is up to the challenge, but as he finds out, his fight seems to be only one-seventh over. That means getting past Monday's henchmen and journeying to the Dayroom itself. After meeting Suzy Blue and the first part of "the Will" (a frog-looking entity that knows everything about the House), Arthur learns that he's been selected as Rightful Heir to the House and must get the other part of the clock hand in order to defeat Monday. But when the confused and curious boy discovers that a mysterious virus is spreading through town, he decides to enter an otherworldly house to stop it. Arthur Penhaligon's first days at his new school don't go too well, particularly when a fiendish Mister Monday appears, gives Arthur a magical clock hand, and then orders his gang of dog-faced goons to chase Arthur around and get it back.

Michael Hosea is a godly man sent into Angel’s life to draw her into the Savior’s redeeming love. The heroine, Angel, is a young woman who was sold into prostitution as a child. Bestselling author Francine Rivers skillfully retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea in a tale set against the exciting backdrop of the California Gold Rush. Yet Rupert Goold’s fascinating production emphasises that there are multiple aspects to the power dealing that fuels the evening. Though Patriots covers some of the same ground as Lucy Prebble’s A Very Expensive Poison (2019), it does not attempt Prebble’s surreal sweep nor is the dialogue complicated by much psychological intricacy. It brims with information: Boris Berezovsky, the businessman who “used to own the news”, and who, having turned against Putin, ended up hanged in England, is revealed as a maths prodigy, specialising in decision making. Morgan’s is a driving drama of clever encapsulation, quick character sketches and dynamic interactions. In doing so it has some frisky nudges at the UK it also asks fundamental questions about who runs any country: financiers, or politicians. Patriots, conceived before the invasion of Ukraine but no doubt shaded with its consequences, puts on stage the oligarchs who floated Vladimir Putin to power. Peter Morgan, who in The Crown dramatised a family that calls itself the firm, now throws light on firms that call themselves a family. A play that deals with a floundering country and a power struggle at the top. W hat a time to be putting on a play stuffed with Borises.

Caught running madeleine urban7/5/2023 'I activated my emergency equipment to cause it to stop on St Andrews Road, I believe. I followed the vehicle for a period of time and observed that its speed dropped down to about 20mph even though there were no obstacles in the road.

These critics demystify the figure of the president Floriano Peixoto (1891–1894), known as the Marechal de Ferro ("The Iron Marshal"), and also of the Brazilian military. The work is comical in the beginning, transiting to harsh criticisms by the end. The focus of the work is the nationalism in the early years of the First Brazilian Republic and criticism to the middle-class and the bureaucratic government. The work was published under feuilleton form in 1911, from August to October in the Jornal do Commercio.
