"I read this book over the course of eight hours on a train and it kept me very happily engaged. The novel follows the lovably irascible Professor Chandra across three continents as he embarks on a unplanned journey of self discovery. The writing is smart and witty, the characters are eclectic and well developed, and the settings are diverse and beautifully drawn. Highly recommend."

"A gorgeous, lushly illustrated poetry book with poems from authors including Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes, and others both well known and new. The illustrations and poems pair wonderfully with each other for a Perfect as a read aloud ritual to either start or end your day. "

"A wonderful book for the animal lovers we know. Montgomery introduces the reader to thirteen animals who have all taught her something about being a good creature. This memoir, by the author of The Soul of the Octopus is full of wonder, empathy and wisdom, a true treasure."

Everyone at the store who has read this book has loved it. Part murder mystery, part nature story, part coming of age, part romance, and all heart, this is the tale of Kya Clark, a mysterious woman who has lived alone in the marsh for all her life. When a murder shakes the nearby quiet town, she is dragged into the public eye and through fits and starts begins to leave her isolated existence. Kya is a wonderful and believable character you will grow to love.
