When the sun goes down, the Dark stretches out. The Dark can be
scary, but it can be other things too - it depends on how you see
it... This gorgeous picture book tells the story of a little boy's
fear of the dark. With friendly text and holes cut in the pages
that show shadows and a starry sky, this is a beautiful, helpful
book to share with young children.
Whitney and Will are a perfect couple by all appearances, their
relationship rock-solid, and their engagement soon to be announced.
Before their impending nuptials, however, Whitney suggests a
lighthearted experiment: why not give each other three romantic
"free passes" before getting married? Three opportunities to
imagine other lives before returning with new appreciation for each
other. On what's meant to be the last night of a romantic Barcelona
vacation, they agree to regale one another with details of these
harmless trysts. They grin and bear it, and fall asleep feeling
mostly satisfied, and relieved to be firmly together again. But
then a volcano erupts overnight, spewing a cloud of ash across
Europe and grounding all flights indefinitely. Trapped in
Barcelona, their paths intertwine with a star basketball player,
his future dashed by a crippling injury, and a foreign exchange
student with a double life, about to return home and face reality.
Whitney and Will flirt, provoke, dance, and drink. Over the next
three days, they will use and be used by their new friends, once
again testing the boundaries of their relationship-but this time,
can it survive?

The year is 1972, and the beaches of Los Angeles are the center of
the world. Dropping into the embers of the drug and surf scene is
Suzy Whitman, who has tossed her newly minted Vassar degree aside
to follow her older sister into open skies and the borderless
adventures of stewardessing for Grand Pacific Airlines. In Sela del
Mar, California-a hedonistic beach town in the shadow of LAX-Suzy
skateboards, suntans, and flies daily and nightly across the
country. Motivated by a temporary escape from her past and a new
taste for danger and belonging, Suzy falls into a drug-trafficking
scheme that clashes perilously with the skyjacking epidemic of the
day. Rendered in the brilliant color of the age and told with
spectacular insight and clarity, Fly Me is a story of dark
discovery set in the debauchery of 1970s Los Angeles.
