Book Description
"Lots of twists and turns that keep you turning pages long after you should have stopped to go to sleep!" An actress with a strange affliction. A violinist on the run so his next performance won’t be his last. A theatre with a deadly secret… Once hailed as the greatest actress in Paris, Marie St. Jean is happy to wait out the Prussian siege behind the scenes in her mother’s theatre. But when her mother gives Marie an ultimatum—tread the boards again or she and her friends will end up on the streets—she faces an impossible choice. She can assume a role that will cost her part of her soul or bargain with the ghost of the theatre, who seeks knowledge locked in memories she's repressed. Marie’s other problem – her attraction to alluring violinist, Johann Bledsoe, a temptation she dares not explore, particularly as the phantom grows jealous. Johann left disgrace and his gambling debt behind in England, but a fatal stabbing outside the Théâtre Bohème makes him fear he’s been exposed. He’d love nothing more than to claim Marie as his own, but after the siege ends, his past will catch up to him again. Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, murders and revelations from the past drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what really lurks below the stage, and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets. Will they have to surrender to the Eros Element in a way that could push them to the edge of madness? Clockwork Phantom is the second book in the Aether Psychics, a fast-paced steampunk series with puzzling mysteries and hints of magic. If you like historical mysteries and have always wanted to read a steampunk retelling of The Phantom of the Opera, then you'll love this thrilling tale.

The Hunt for Vulcan
Author: Thomas Levenson
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0812988302
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The captivating, all-but-forgotten story of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and the search for a planet that never existed For more than fifty years, the world’s top scientists searched for the “missing” planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton’s theories of gravity. Countless hours were spent on the hunt for the elusive orb, and some of the era’s most skilled astronomers even claimed to have found it. There was just one problem: It was never there. In The Hunt for Vulcan, Thomas Levenson follows the visionary scientists who inhabit the story of the phantom planet, starting with Isaac Newton, who in 1687 provided an explanation for all matter in motion throughout the universe, leading to Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier, who almost two centuries later built on Newton’s theories and discovered Neptune, becoming the most famous scientist in the world. Le Verrier attempted to surpass that triumph by predicting the existence of yet another planet in our solar system, Vulcan. It took Albert Einstein to discern that the mystery of the missing planet was a problem not of measurements or math but of Newton’s theory of gravity itself. Einstein’s general theory of relativity proved that Vulcan did not and could not exist, and that the search for it had merely been a quirk of operating under the wrong set of assumptions about the universe. Levenson tells the previously untold tale of how the “discovery” of Vulcan in the nineteenth century set the stage for Einstein’s monumental breakthrough, the greatest individual intellectual achievement of the twentieth century. A dramatic human story of an epic quest, The Hunt for Vulcan offers insight into how science really advances (as opposed to the way we’re taught about it in school) and how the best work of the greatest scientists reveals an artist’s sensibility. Opening a new window onto our world, Levenson illuminates some of our most iconic ideas as he recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of science. Praise for The Hunt for Vulcan “Delightful . . . a charming tale about an all-but-forgotten episode in science history.”—The Wall Street Journal “Engaging . . . At heart, this is a story about how science advances, one insight at a time. But the immediacy, almost romance, of Levenson’s writing makes it almost novelistic.”—The Washington Post “A well-structured, fast-paced example of exemplary science writing.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The Phantom Tollbooth
Author: Norton Juster
Publisher: Yearling
ISBN: 0394820371
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
With almost 5 million copies sold 60 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic. Enriched by Jules Feiffer’s splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Juster’s offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever. “Comes up bright and new every time I read it . . . it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet. And teach us some wisdom, too.” --Phillip Pullman For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams!

Book Description
Everyone wears a mask. But the deadliest secrets hide in plain sight. Marie St. Jean's supreme acting talent comes with a price: Every spellbinding performance extracts a piece of her soul. When she reluctantly steps into a role abandoned by another leading lady, she encounters the ghostly spirit that caused the other woman to flee in terror. And who promises to fix Marie's affliction - for a price. Marie's other problem - her attraction to alluring violinist, Johann Bledsoe, a temptation she dares not explore. However, with the Prussians surrounding Paris, she is well and truly trapped. Johann left disgrace and his gambling debt behind in England, but a murder outside the Théâtre Bohème makes him fear he's been exposed. He'd love nothing more than to claim Marie as his own, but after the siege is over, his past will catch up to him again. Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, more murders drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what really lurks below the stage, and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets--and surrendering to the Eros Element in a way that could push them irretrievably close to the edge of madness.
