  "Bright lights, big buildings, and a city full of surprises—the Bobbsey twins are taking on the Metropolis!"
  
  The Bobbseys are trading the quiet streets of Lakeport for the roaring energy of the "Great City." In The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City, Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie travel to New York, where every street corner holds a new wonder. From the dizzying heights of early skyscrapers to the crowded bustle of the department stores, the twins experience the cutting edge of 1917 urban life. But the city is as mysterious as it is large; when one of the twins goes missing in the crowd, it takes quick thinking and a bit of "Bobbsey luck" to reunite the family and solve an unexpected urban puzzle.
  
  A Tale of Two Worlds: This volume highlights the contrast between the twins' familiar small-town values and the fast-paced, sophisticated environment of the city. It captures the awe of childhood discovery as the twins navigate subways, grand hotels, and the vibrant culture of the early 20th-century metropolis.
  
  Urban Exploration and Mystery: The "Great City" serves as a giant playground for the twins' detective skills. Whether they are decoding the secrets of a busy harbor or finding their way through a maze-like park, Nan and Bert prove that their teamwork and bravery are effective even in the biggest city in the world.
  
  Step into the excitement of the city. Purchase "The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City" today.

  How did I find myself sharing a tent with my obnoxious—albeit gorgeous—neighbor, Isabella Romero? It all started with a stupid bet. 
   
   
   
  All I had to do in order to win was something unpredictable. (Which my brother thought was impossible for the ever-boring David Windell). 
   
   
   
  Well, I showed him . . . by booking a trek in the Andes Mountains to see Machu Picchu. 
   
   
   
  When the brochure for the expedition mysteriously appeared on my front porch, it was like fate interceded: I could win the bet while simultaneously getting a vacation from my irritating neighbor. 
   
   
   
  Two birds, one stone. 
   
   
   
  Except, it turns out that was Isabella's brochure . . . and she booked the same trip. 
   
   
   
  So here I am, stuck sharing a tent with the woman who drives me crazy—and makes my heart race like never before.

  “If John Steinbeck’s mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven’s My Destination is its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchy 
  A hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven’s My Destination introduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life. With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois—and into the soul of Depression-era America itself. 
   
  This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder’s nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book. 
  Copyright (c) 1934 by the Wilder Family L.L.C. Foreword copyright (c) 2003 by J. D. McClatchy. Afterword copyright (c) 2003 by Tappan Wilder.

  Truth Untruth (Unabridged)

  A trenchant, darkly humorous, and unsentimental look at Calcutta society.
  
  Set in Calcutta in the mid-1980s, Truth/Untruth is a fast-paced thriller built around the death of the pregnant Jamuna-a maid in a newly affluent residential apartment complex-and Arjun, the upwardly mobile businessman who seduced her. Packed with a cast of colorful characters, this novel is a trenchant, darkly humorous, and unsentimental look at the different segments of Calcutta society: from the middle-class culture vultures to the unscrupulous 'promoter' class and the domestic helpers and slum goons who form an intrinsic part of the city's life. All are implicated in a complex web of guilt and bizarre twists and turns. Sex, lies, death-the great modernist themes-run like a thread through this book, exposing societal greed, lust, corruption, and moral hypocrisy with a sardonic tone that spares none. An unusual novel by an author who is otherwise known for her hard-hitting activist-feminist stories, Truth/Untruth underlines the exploitative vicious cycle that defines urban relations between the haves and have-nots.
