Book Description
With her first published book the author is letting us in on a secret. All around the edges of the world of everyday here and now, lie magical doors, teasing, beckoning, daring us to summon the courage to pry them open wide enough to squeeze through. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s found a lot of these doors through the years, sometimes in the most unexpected places. Mostly she’s taken up the challenge to squeeze through, and has never once been sorry that she did. Children know how to do this, but time and the greedy demands of the world of everyday here and now, can be robbers and poachers. So often we’re told that we must give up the search for those doors to apply ourselves to more practical things, that peeking beyond the edges of the everyday world is a fun but frivolous part of childhood, and must eventually be laid aside. That brings us back round to Audrika‘s story. She’s a normal ten year old, with a normal ten year old’s problems. Already she’s come perilously close to slamming the door shut on her own magic forever, but a summer full of adventure and yes, dare we say it, magic, will change all that. She’ll find the courage to step through a door tucked away in a remote corner of an enchanted greenhouse. What she finds on the other side will change her life forever. True, this is a story about the possibilities that lie on the other side of an enchanted door, but it is more. It is a nudge that worries and warns, “Don’t forget the magic. Hang on. Hold on. If you are courageous enough you don‘t ever have to let go. There is no expiration date on the magic that fills our insides with soda pop bubbles and sends fireworks up into a velvet night sky.” This book is a gift to every child struggling to hold on to their special magic. Perhaps it is also a gift to every adult who has misplaced their own, and longs for its return.

Book Description
Detective brothers Frank and Joe weed out a vandal in the fifteenth book in the interactive Hardy Boys Clue Book series. Frank and Joe Hardy have been hard at work turning their front yard into an eco-friendly edible landscape garden thanks to a contest sponsored by the Bayport Science Center. Frank’s really been enjoying learning about how to make the garden thrive, while Joe likes all of the cool critters and, of course, getting to munch on all of the yummy food. When the prize vegetables being grown in some of the top competitors’ gardens are attacked, at first it looks like hungry pests have been having a feast. But as Frank and Joe unearth more evidence, it appears those cucumbers aren’t being crunched by creatures with a craving. No, the veggies are the target of a clever saboteur. The Hardys will have to figure out who’s been destroying the gardens fast, before their friends’ chances of winning the contest are shredded like lettuce.

Book Description
The tourism and hospitality industry of Bangladesh as a South Asian country has potential. Sustainable development of this industry in this country is on the move. Still, there are some hindrances which appear to be stymieing this industry’s overall development potential. Overcoming such hindrances can be partly enabled by applying digital innovation and introducing more Internet based platforms in the country’s tourism and hospitality industry. The country is believed to have emphasized innovative technology application in this industry, but technology applications in this industry in Bangladesh have so far attracted very few researchers, resulting in insufficient contributions and very limited knowledge. This book, therefore, can make a significant contribution towards the very limited knowledge in this identified research area. On the specific ground of technology application in the tourism and hospitality industry, the book covers concepts and context, the present scenario, product and service offers, and an analysis of the roles of public and private institutions. On related issues, the book also covers social media, networking and connectivity; sustainability practices and climate change effects; tourist experiences; developments; and challenges, suggestions, and future research directions. The book is expected to appeal to general readers, as well as researchers with an interest in technology applications in the tourism and hospitality industry. This book is also an essential read for the relevant policy planners and industry professionals.

Book Description
A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)
