The Wrong One by Carol Otis Hurst, ISBN 0618275991
Times were tough for the Spencer family. After their father died, Kate, Jesse, and their adopted sister, Sookan, had to move with their mother from Brooklyn to a dilapidated farmhouse in western Massachusetts. Everyone except Sookan hated it; she hadn"t lived in Brooklyn long enough to miss the house there, but the rest of them hoped the move would be only temporary. But Mrs. Spencer"s business is slow to get off the ground, and the repairs to the house are expensive, so finances are tight. Suddenly they"re facing the possibility of losing their rundown farmhouse, too.Then Jesse discovers an old doll hidden up in the barn rafters. Despite Sookan"s cryptic protests that it"s the wrong one, they all hope its sale could bring in some much-needed cash. But when an eerie blue light appears, odd things begin to happen--things it touches become cold, TVs turn themselves on, objects show up in unusual places--even homework problems are solved! Could the blue light be a ghost? What other secrets does the old farmhouse hold? As Kate, Jesse, and Sookan try to solve these mysteries and adjust to their new life, they may just find the real treasure they are looking for--a place to call home.

Carried Away: The Invention of Modern Shopping by Rachel Bowlby, ISBN 0231122756
The curious history of shopping and our ideas about it, from the glamorous nineteenth-century department store to our own multi-functional supermarkets
Carried away or loaded down, love it or hate it, we take shopping for granted as one of the pleasures, or burdens, of our lives. Yet we are curiously unaware of how we became the consumers that we are.
In this witty and revelatory book, Rachel Bowlby looks at some of the turning points of twentieth-century consumer history: when department stores gave way to supermarkets; when packaging made everyday things into objects of desire; when self-service created a close, new relationship between shoppers and merchandise. Carried Away looks at arguments about chocolate boxes and bars of soap, at modernist shop windows and supermarket shelves, at Stepford Wives and Rupert Bears -- at the many extraordinary ways that modern shopping and shoppers have been imagined and invented.
Bowlby focuses in particular on the development of supermarkets,...

Lament for a Son by Nicholas Wolterstorff, ISBN 080280294X
To those who are left behind, the death of a friend or family member is a beginning as much as an end. For the author of this book, who lost his 25-year-old son Eric in a mountain climbing accident, it meant the start of a long, unwanted journey to come to terms with his grief -- and the "unanswered questions" of his wounded spirit. Lament for a Son avoids easy answers about suffering. Its honest depiction of one man's struggle will help open the floodgates for those who cannot find words for their...
