The unforgettable star of Just Harriet returns for another mystery
on Marble Island, from award-winning author Elana K. Arnold. There
are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She always
tells the truth. She's loving spending her summer on Marble Island,
where she is an A+ mystery-solver. Okay, maybe she doesn't always
tell the truth. Actually...she has a tendency to lie quite a bit.
Which is why, when one of the guests at her grandmother's
bed-and-breakfast finds that their treasured pair of binoculars has
gone missing, no one believes Harriet when she said she had nothing
to do with it. But this is one time Harriet isn't lying--and she
knows that if she can find the binoculars and figure out who really
took them, she can prove it. With her cat, Matzo Ball, her
grandmother's basset hound, Moneypenny, and Harriet's new friend,
Clarence, helping her out, Harriet knows she can crack the case.
But when the culprit isn't who Harriet expects, it's up to her to
decide how important the truth really is.

Harriet sets out to solve a poisoning on Marble Island in the third
book in the acclaimed cozy mystery series from award-winning author
Elana K. Arnold. There are some things you should know about
Harriet Wermer: She used to lie a lot, but not anymore. Seriously,
she only tells the truth now. Even though she hadn't wanted to come
to Marble Island in the first place, now she doesn't want to leave.
It's the truth. With her mom and new baby brother home from the
hospital, it's almost time for Harriet to pack up and head home
from Marble Island and all the friends she's made. But Harriet
doesn't have time to think about that--not when she discovers that
Moneypenny, her Nanu's adorable basset hound, has been poisoned!
Harriet suspects the culprit is one of the guests staying at Nanu's
bed-and-breakfast, and she and her best friend, Clarence, are once
again on the case. But when someone else falls ill, Harriet's going
to have to sleuth harder, spy sneakier, and be willing to see that
sometimes the truth is more complicated than it seems.

From Michael L. Printz honoree & National Book Award finalist
Elana K. Arnold comes the harrowing story of a young girl's
struggle to survive the Holocaust in Romania. Frederieke Teitler
and her older sister, Astra, live in a house, in a city, in a world
divided. Their father ran out on them when Rieke was only six,
leaving their mother a wreck and their grandfather as their only
stable family. He’s done his best to provide for them and shield
them from antisemitism, but now, seven years later, being a Jew has
become increasingly dangerous, even in their beloved home of
Czernowitz, long considered a safe haven for Jewish people. And
when Astra falls in love and starts pulling away from her, Rieke
wonders if there’s anything in her life she can count on—and,
if so, if she has the power to hold on to it. Then—war breaks out
in Europe. First the Russians, then the Germans, invade
Czernowitz. Almost overnight, Rieke and Astra’s world
changes, and every day becomes a struggle: to keep their
grandfather’s business, to keep their home, to keep their lives.
Rieke has long known that she exists in a world defined by those
who have power and those who do not, and as those powers close in
around her, she must decide whether holding on to her life might
mean letting go of everything that has ever mattered to her—and
if that’s a choice she will even have the chance to make. Based
on the true experiences of her grandmother’s childhood in
Holocaust-era Romania, award-winning author Elana K. Arnold weaves
an unforgettable tale of love and loss in the darkest days of the
twentieth century—and one young woman’s will to survive them.

Gastroenterologic endoscopy has made important progress in the past
decade. New techniques and ideas have given it new life. The end of
this evolution is not yet in sight. FuIly flexible fiberoptic
instruments have eliminated all blank areas from the map of the
gastrointestinal tract. Retro- grade visualization of the
pancreatic and biliary system has been achieved in conjunction with
radiologic methods. Operative endoscopy has de- veloped beyond the
removal of foreign bodies, to a stage where laparotomy can be
avoided in a number of situations. Hemostasis by laser coagulation
and crushing of concrements by ultrasound and electric energy have
reached the threshold of clinical applicability. With all these
spectacular develop- ments, however, it is important to maintain a
firm grasp of the fundamentals of endoscopy. This is the basis of
day-to-day success and includes knowl- edge of the proper
indications, the ability to manage complications, famil- iarity
with the technical properties of the instruments, their skillful
handling, and experience in organizing an endoscopy section.
Endoscopists, particu- larly members of the Erlangen group, have
undertaken the task of charting these fundamentals and of compiling
them into a working manual for those already practicing endoscopy
or intending to do so. They have been sup- ported in this effort by
colleagues from other parts of the Federal Republic of Germany and
from Italy.

A dark, engrossing, blood-drenched tale of the familiar threats to
female power-and one girl's journey to regain it. Five starred
reviews greeted this powerful story from Elana K. Arnold, author of
the Printz Honor winner Damsel. You are alone in the woods, seen
only by the unblinking yellow moon. Your hands are empty. You are
nearly naked. And the wolf is angry. Since her grandmother became
her caretaker when she was four years old, Bisou Martel has lived a
quiet life in a little house in Seattle. She's kept mostly to
herself. She's been good. But then comes the night of homecoming,
when she finds herself running for her life over roots and between
trees, a fury of claws and teeth behind her. A wolf attacks. Bisou
fights back. A new moon rises. And with it, questions. About the
blood in Bisou's past, and on her hands as she stumbles home. About
broken boys and vicious wolves. About girls lost in the
woods-frightened, but not alone.

*A 2019 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book*
A dark, twisted, unforgettable fairy tale from Elana K. Arnold, author of the National Book Award finalist What Girls Are Made Of
The rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: When the king dies, his son the prince must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.
When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon or what horrors she faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome young man, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny of sitting on a throne beside him. It's all like a dream, like something from a fairy tale.
As Ama follows Emory to the kingdom of Harding, however, she discovers that not all is as it seems. There is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows, and the greatest threats may not be behind her, but around her, now, and closing in.
