Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Over the course of one sunbaked summer vacation, a family is pulled into a web of mysteries that the younger daughter sets out to solve. A tense, page-turning debut of childhood, innocence, and evil. At ten years old, she catches more than her parents and older sister suspect. Over their summer break, her mother plans to finish her novel, her father wants to grill and watch cricket, and her fifteen-year-old sister hopes to catch the eye of a local lifeguard. With everyone around her distracted, she teams up with a new friend to solve a mystery that haunts this vacation community: they'll close the case of what happened to Charlotte, a child who was presumed drowned two years earlier. But things aren't quite as they seem, and as the children look for clues, they inadvertently dislodge information they wish they'd never uncovered. Are her parents happy together? Is her sister putting her trust in the wrong people? Is their vacation rental as safe as it seems? And when someone else goes missing, the family find themselves at the center of an urgent police investigation. Debut novelist Jennifer Trevelyan viscerally captures the confusion and frustration of childhood, the fraught but unshakeable bond between sisters, and the dangers that lurk in the white lies we tell--especially about the people we love most.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "More ambitious than The Alchemist. A thought-provoking tale." - TIME magazine A sweeping and deeply personal novel about faith, loss, and the will to rebuild -- from Paulo Coelho, the internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist. The Fifth Mountain takes us to ninth-century Israel, where the young prophet Elijah is fleeing for his life. Queen Jezebel has ordered the execution of every prophet who refuses to worship her pagan gods, and Elijah -- chosen by God to deliver a message the powerful do not want to hear -- has no choice but to run. Guided by an angel, he crosses the desert and takes refuge in the Phoenician city of Akbar, where he finds an unlikely home with a widow and her young son. As he settles into an uneasy peace and begins to rebuild, catastrophe strikes -- and Elijah is forced to confront the mountain that has shadowed his journey from the beginning. Inspired by a moment of devastating loss in Coelho's own life, the novel asks the question at the heart of all human suffering: why do terrible things happen to those who are trying to do what is right? Elijah's answer -- hard-won and quietly transformative -- is the beating heart of this book. A timeless story about the courage it takes to keep faith when everything you love has been taken from you, The Fifth Mountain is a liberating and ultimately uplifting read.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Transform your life. Rewrite your destiny. In his most personal novel to date, internationally bestselling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, his only real option is to begin again--to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him. Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian railroad, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before--and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life's inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys.…
