"Starting at Silver Spires boarding school was really scary, especially sharing a dorm with five girls I'd never met. But now it's like having a sleepover with my best friends every day! There is one girl who's horrible to me though. She'd be different if she knew my secret, but there's no way I'm going to tell her--or anyone else. Because if I did, my nice fresh start here would be ruined before the first semester is even over! Katy x"--P. [4] of cover.
Nicole is at Silver Spires on a scholorship and is scared that her friends will think she's a geek. With a party coming up where everyone will be wearing expensive outfits, she's afraid that her new friends will think she doesn't fit in.
The Chrysler building is surely the jewel in the crown of New York City's skyline. Completed in 1930, the 77-story Art Deco skyscraper quickly became the symbol of big city glamour. *These never-before-seen photos illustrate the day-by-day construction of this American icon. 170 photos.
Succumb to one churchman's apocalyptic vision in this prophetic tale by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, William Golding (recorded by Benedict Cumberbatch as an audiobook). There were three sorts of people. Those who ran, those who stayed, and those who were built in. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire. His master builder fearfully advises against it, for the old cathedral was miraculously built without foundations. But Jocelin is obsessed with fashioning his prayer in stone. As his halo of hair grows wilder and his dark angel darker, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, watched over by the gargoyles - until the stone pillars shriek, the earth beneath creeps, and the spire's shadow falls like an axe on the medieval world below ... 'Astounding ... So recklessly beautiful, so sad and so strange ... Holds such a place in my soul that it's more or less a sacred text.' Sarah Perry 'A kind of miracle ... Genius.' Guardian ' Quite simply, a marvel.' NYRB ' Superb ... A classic.' Rebecca West 'A master fabulist .. An iconoclast.' John Fowles 'A visionary ... His masterwork [of] faith, folly and desperate desire ... Golding at his best.' Benjamin Myers
...embedded in the trunk of the scion of the godtree, it contains the essence of the maddest of the Ten Who Were Taken...The Dominator. Defeated by the Lady and cast from this world, all that was left of him was a foul trace of lingering evil. But the graveyard that was once the Barrowland contains more secrets than dead. All who would possess the power of the Dominator are drawn to the spike. A foolhardy band of thieves is the first to reach it, and a rapacious and malign spirit is unleashed on an unwary world. The forces gather, sides are drawn, and mortal men can only die as the Dark Lords battle for domination.
