Lloyd Natalie A Snicker of Magic
Introducing an extraordinary debut that will make your skin tingle, your eyes glisten...and your heart sing. Midnight Gulch Tennessee used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity Pickles knows all about things like that since her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart. But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck's about to change. A "word collector," Felicity sees words everywhere - shining above strangers, tucked into church eves, and tangled up her dog's floppy ears - but Midnight Gulch is the first place she's ever seen the word "home." And then there's Jonah the Beedle, a mysterious, spiky-haired do-gooder who shimmers with words Felicity's never seen before, words that make Felicity's heart beat a little faster.

Phillips Adam, Taylor Barbara On Kindness
What is kindness? Does it make us happier? And does it have a place in a selfish world? Psychoanalyst Adam Phillips and historian Barbara Taylor present an elegant, thoughtful and concise analysis of kindness in history, in life and in the modern world. Suggesting that acts of kindness occur when we are at our most open and honest, they ask why it is that our faith in kindness has been shaken - and why we are all too ready to believe that antagonism has taken its place.
