Book Description
A third grader realizes the importance of her name in this classic story of heritage and self-identity. For María Isabel Salazar López, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her real name. "We already have two Marías in this class," says her teacher. "Why don't we call you Mary instead?" But María Isabel has been named for her Papá's mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, she's lost the most important part of herself?

Book Description
"Invisible Isabelle" is a clever children's book that teaches the ever-valuable lesson of self-expression and individuality. The story's imaginative concept is creatively written in rhyme, and flows beautifully with vibrant, colored pencil illustrations. Isabelle, the main character, is a young, aspiring fashion designer who creates a funky new outfit for the first day of school. At school, the kids make fun of her for her wacky outfit. Isabelle is hurt by their name calling. To avoid further embarrassment, she starts changing her outfit in order to "blend in" and look "normal." After one too many changes, her self-expression is lost and, "POOF!" she becomes invisible! Miss Frizzle, a quirky art teacher, helps Isabelle regain her unique style (thus, her visibility) - learning a "valuable lesson of self-expression!"

Book Description
'A touching exploration of passion untested by domesticity' Mail on Sunday Before Isabelle I knew nothing of sex. Before Isabelle I knew nothing of freedom. Before Isabelle I knew nothing of life. Paris in the early Seventies. Sam, an American student, meets a woman in a bookshop. Isabelle is enigmatic, beautiful, older and, unlike Sam, experienced in love's many contradictions. Sam is instantly smitten - but wary of the wedding ring on her finger. What begins as a regular arrangement in Isabelle’s tiny Parisian apartment transforms into a true affair of the heart, and one which lasts for decades to come. Isabelle in the Afternoon is a novel that questions what we seek, what we find, what we settle for - and shows how love, when not lived day in, day out, can become the passion of a lifetime. Praise for Douglas Kennedy ‘The absolute master of love stories with heart-stopping twists’ THE TIMES ‘Kennedy is skilled at zigzag plotting, blending domestic twists with turns created by global affairs’ OBSERVER
