In a quiet London suburb, four university students participating in an experiment inside a reputed haunted house hold a séance that goes terribly wrong. What—or who—ever they summoned has taken their minds away, leaving them empty shells. Enter the Ghost Finders, ready to confront an enraged poltergeist for the students’ very souls. All in a day’s work—except the team doesn’t know that in another part of the city, a different entity has also breached the threshold between worlds. And this time what is at stake is not four lives—but the very existence of all humanity.
Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born. For more than a year Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater from certain death. Unable to get her out of his mind, the two thieves return to Medford but receive a very different reception -- Gwen refuses to see them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects that Royce will ignore any danger in his desire for revenge. By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to once more protect them. What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of -- she's about to find out.
You’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such as: “Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?” “Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?” “Why don’t you make eye contact when you’re talking?” and “What’s the reason you jump?” (Naoki’s answer: “When I’m jumping, it’s as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.”) With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights—into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory—are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again.

The Impact Investor explains in unprescedended detail what the practice of impact investing entails through the experiences and proven practices of 15 of the worlds most successful impact investors. The book will provide financial professionals, students and business interests with the information they need to capitalize on the impact investing opportunity, including historical context, insights into investment and fundraising strategies, and deal-level intelligence. Organized into 10 chapters, the book focuses on the implementation of 'Big Ideas' in impact investing such as Policy Symbiosis, Mission First and Last, and Catalytic Capital. Each Big Idea is followed by the investment innovation used to successfully implement it, e.g. Public Private Partnership, Mission Lock and Innovation Clusters. The ideas and tools feature lessons learned from an in-depth two year research project undertaken by the authors with over half a million dollars in funding from the Omidyar Network, Deutsche Bank, the F.B. Heron Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation and other private foundations. Includes a diagnostic for assessing key skills, styles of working and problem-solving required for impact work drawn from the authors' own cases. The diagnostic is based on a framework from a nationwide survey the authors conducted of professional development skills for the social sector and proprietary maps of the impact investing field developed by Cathy at CASE for students.
Best-selling author Dorothy Koomson's novels have been translated into 28 languages. In The Ice Cream Girls, 18-year-old Serena Gorringe and 16-year-old Poppy Carlisle were tried for the murder of their teacher -- but only Poppy was convicted of the crime. Twenty years later, Poppy is released from prison -- and she's determined to force Serena to admit her part in the killing.
Eamon Redmond is a judge in Ireland's high court, a completely legal creature who is just beginning to discover how painfully unconnected he is from other human beings. With effortless fluency, Colm Tóibín reconstructs the history of Eamon's relationships-with his father, his first "girl," his wife, and the children who barely know him-and he writes about Eamon's affection for the Irish coast with such painterly skill that the land itself becomes a character. The result is a novel of stunning power, "seductive and absorbing" (USA Today).

In this clever and quirky follow-up to THE GATES and THE INFERNALS, Samuel's life seems to have finally settled—after all, he’s still got the company of his faithful dachshund Boswell and bumbling demon friend Nurd, has foiled the forces of hell not once, but twice, and he’s finally gone on a date with the lovely Lucy Highmore, to boot.
But things in Biddlecombe rarely run smoothly for long. Certain scientists’ experiments have captured the attention of dark forces even more threatening than the Great Malevolence, and they seem to be converging on Samuel’s small town. When a new toy shop’s opening goes terrifyingly awry, one young boy must join his ragtag band of friends to face down the hordes of darkness, the numbers of which include: an optimistic and rather gelatinous messenger of doom, a girl with an unnatural fondness for spiders, highly flammable unfriendly elves, and eyes that follow you around the room…literally.
The final installment of John Connolly’s wholly original and creepily imaginative Samuel Johnson Tales, THE CREEPS is humorous horror for anyone who enjoys fiction at its best.
Their latest assignment takes JC and the team to a small country village, site of a famously haunted inn. At first, JC thinks that the spirits in the King’s Arms are more the stuff of urban legend than anything that needs the Ghost Finders’ expertise. Then one story rings true: the tale of a traveler trapped by an unusual thunderstorm who retired to her room for the night—and vanished. Trapped by an unusual thunderstorm—like the one that begins raging outside shortly after they arrive… As the team investigates, they are forced, one by one, to face some hard truths about themselves, their relationships, and the haunting itself—truths that may push Happy Jack over the edge into the madness that he has always feared...
