Is a life in film right for Sarah? Set in the late 1920s against
the backdrop of the early days of British cinema, this story is
told in 101 numbered parts. By 1925, the rate of 24 frames per
second had been established worldwide for silent films. So 101
frames - the "pieces" of the title - make about four seconds. Four
seconds of film is enough for 16-year-old Sarah Freebody to become
an object of fascination for a young producer who will not rest
until he has secured her for his next project. Sarah becomes Clara
Hope, acts in films, meets exciting people, falls in love and, in
the end, has to decide whether a life in film is right for her.

Dorian’s past. On a holiday to Los Angeles, Lily stays with family
friend Wilson, an ambitious player who introduces her to powerful movie
producer Stacy Black. Lily is in turns amused and appalled by the
excesses of the movie business, and more than a little surprised when
Dorian Khan seeks her out. Could they actually become friends? And
what’s more, has she been what she hopes never to be ... stupid?
This modern reimagining of Pride and Prejudice is full of swoon-worthy
romance, sharp and witty humour and Hollywood glamour. Written by two
acclaimed actresses, this is an authentic and relatable YA novel, and

Sally investigates post-WWII Florida with theatrical flair in this
classic middle grade novel from Judy Blume. Now with a fresh new
look
Sally J. Freedman was ten when she made herself a movie star. She
would have been happy to reach stardom in New Jersey, but in 1947
her older brother Douglas became ill, so the Freedman family
traveled south to spend eight months in the sunshine of Florida.
That's where Sally met her friends Andrea, Barbara, Shelby, Peter,
and Georgia Blue Eyes--and her unsuspecting enemy, Adolf Hitler.
"Dear Chief of Police: "
"You don't know me but I am a detective from New Jersey. I have
uncovered a very interesting case down here. I have discovered that
Adolf Hitler is alive and has come to Miami Beach to retire. He is
pretending to be an old Jewish man..."
While she watches and waits, and keeps a growing file of letters
under her bed, Sally's Hitler will play an important--though not
quite starring--role in one of her grandest movie spectaculars.
One of BuzzFeed's best YA books of 2021! Perfect for fans of the
Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper, the first book in the
Jane Austen Murder Mysteries trilogy is a clever retelling of Pride
and Prejudice that reimagines the iconic settings, characters, and
romances in a thrilling and high-stakes whodunit. When a scandalous
murder shocks London high society, seventeen-year-old aspiring
lawyer Lizzie Bennet seizes the opportunity to prove herself,
despite the interference of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the stern young
heir to the prestigious firm Pemberley Associates. Convinced the
authorities have imprisoned the wrong person, Lizzie vows to solve
the murder on her own. But as the case-and her feelings for
Darcy-become more complicated, Lizzie discovers that her dream job
could make her happy, but it might also get her killed. Three of
Jane Austen's classic novels receive a murder mystery makeover in
this romantic and thrilling three-book series that's perfect for
fans of The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy. Pride and
Premeditation is followed by Sense and Second-Degree Murder, in
which aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood and her sister Marianne, a
budding detective, work together to solve the mystery of their
father's murder.
