Book Description
"WONDERFULLY STRANGE." --Mark Haddon A beguiling, irresistibly immersive debut novel about sixteen sisters in a walled garden, and what happens to their carefully constructed world when one girl starts asking questions about life outside. Fourteen-year-old Calamity Leek and her sisters spend their days tending white roses and memorizing the lessons in Aunty’s Appendix, a multi-volume compendium of show tunes, beauty regimens, and twisted creation myths. Calamity knows the Appendix front to back, and she is Aunty’s favorite, destined for particular greatness. But when her restless sister Truly Polperro gets too curious about life beyond their Wall of Safekeeping, she cracks Calamity’s world wide open. Calamity needs a new book. And she will have to write it herself. With formidable imagination and brilliant strangeness, Paula Lichtarowicz's The First Book of Calamity Leek draws on fairytales and doublespeak to tell a story both classic and keenly modern. Calamity, fearless and wrenching, leads us to question the stories we ourselves live by.

Book Description
Can a pixie girl with a bum leg and mismatched wings untangle the paranormal puzzles and solve the quirky mystery? A town of wonky magic. A fencer stabbed by her own blade. Can Twizzie untangle the twisted mystery? Twizzle Twist isn't your normal real estate pixie. Nor is St. Maurice your normal Southern California town. The magic in the valley belches at the worst time. Twizzle's mismatched wings and bum leg are the least of her worries. Twiz is fortunate to have friends like the ancient Chinese wizard, the barista mermaid with the bent tail, a pixie cop, and two chili-cheese-dog obsessed mini-dragons to aid her. And she'll need all the help they can muster when the town council leader has Twizzle's SoCal home on the St. Maurice amusement pier in the path of her wrecking ball. When a cute new vampire arrives in town, and needs a handicapped accessible home due to his wheelchair, Twizzle has one pesky rule. Don't date your clients. So she needs to finish the home sale, before she can land a new boyfriend. But, when their first home showing comes with the homeowner stabbed in the back with her own sword, Twizzle gets tangled in a mystery not of her making. Can she untangle the knot of clues, parry the magical red herrings, and solve the mystery in time to sell the home, and stop the killer? Twiz and her friends have to save their pier, catch the killers, and find time for Mortimer and Basil the mini-dragon to get their chili-cheese-dog fix. Each story is a self-contained mystery, with an evolving backstory as Twiz and her friends fight to save their town's beloved amusement pier. This omnibus includes the previously published tomes: A Twisted Riposte A Twisted Tune A Twisted Dive A Twisted Treasure A Twisted Inferno A Twisted Festival If you love mysteries with a dash of quirky characters, a dose of warped magic, and snarky humor, you'll love Alyn Troy's Paranormal Cozy Mysteries.

Written in Paris over a period of seventeen years, and published in 1939, two years before the author's death, Finnegans Wake was Joyce's final work. The book discusses, in an unorthodox fashion, the Earwicker family, comprising the father HCE, the mother ALP, and their three children Shem the Penman, Shaun the Postman, and Issy.
