Who is Mister Magic? Former child stars reunite to uncover the
tragedy that ended their show - and discover the secret of its
enigmatic host - in this dark supernatural thriller from the No. 1
New York Times bestselling author of Hide. Thirty years after a
tragic accident shut down production of the classic children's
program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done
their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted
fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the
cast, known as the Circle of Friends, have spent their lives
searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it. The
friendship. The feeling of belonging. And the protection of Mister
Magic. But with no surviving video of the show, no evidence of who
directed or produced it, and no records of who - or what - the
beloved host actually was, memories are all the former circle of
friends have. Then a twist of fate brings the castmates back
together at the remote desert filming compound that feels like it's
been waiting for them all this time. Even though they haven't seen
each other for years, they somehow understand one another better
than anyone has since. After all, they're the only ones who hold
the secret of that circle, the mystery of the magic man in his
infinitely black cape, and, maybe, the answers to what really
happened on that deadly last day. But as the Circle of Friends
reclaim parts of their past, they begin to wonder: Are they here by
choice, or have they been lured into a trap? Because magic never
forgets the taste of your friendship. . . .
A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this dark
supernatural thriller from New York Times bestselling author
Kiersten White, perfect for fans of Stephen King and SQUID GAME.
The challenge: spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park
and don't get caught. The prize: enough money to change everything.
Even though everyone is desperate to win - to seize their dream
futures or escape their haunting pasts - Mack feels sure that she
can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she's an
expert at that. It's the reason she's alive, and her family isn't.
But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack
realizes this competition is more sinister than even she imagined,
and that together might be the only way to survive. Fourteen
competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Advocates a cybersecurity “social contract” between government
and business in seven key economic sectors Cybersecurity
vulnerabilities in the United States are extensive, affecting
everything from national security and democratic elections to
critical infrastructure and economy. In the past decade, the number
of cyberattacks against American targets has increased
exponentially, and their impact has been more costly than ever
before. A successful cyber-defense can only be mounted with the
cooperation of both the government and the private sector, and only
when individual corporate leaders integrate cybersecurity strategy
throughout their organizations. A collaborative effort of the Board
of Directors of the Internet Security Alliance, Fixing American
Cybersecurity is divided into two parts. Part One analyzes why the
US approach to cybersecurity has been inadequate and ineffective
for decades and shows how it must be transformed to counter the
heightened systemic risks that the nation faces today. Part Two
explains in detail the cybersecurity strategies that should be
pursued by each major sector of the American economy: health,
defense, financial services, utilities and energy, retail,
telecommunications, and information technology. Fixing American
Cybersecurity will benefit industry leaders, policymakers, and
business students. This book is essential reading to prepare for
the future of American cybersecurity.

Join Ocean and Kingston as they explore the ocean, discover
wildlife, and learn fascinating marine facts in Ocean's World, an
action and adventure story for kids! Ocean and his little brother,
Kingston, explore the beautiful island of Maui in search of a
sunrise shell for their mom's birthday gift. But with a rumbling
volcano and so much to unearth, will the boys ever find the special
shell? Celebrity couple Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, known for their
starring roles in Big Time Rush and Spy Kids, respectively, debut
their first picture book, inspired by their firstborn son, Ocean,
and their home in Hawaii. As Ocean and Kingston's adventure
unfolds, you'll encounter so many fun and educational surprises
along the way! During their journey you'll learn how high a dolphin
can jump; how long it takes for a sea-turtle egg to hatch;
different types of shells including the cone, cowrie, puka, and
Triton's trumpet; and types of animals in the ocean. Whether
they're surfing the waves, scouring the beach, or snorkeling in the
tide pools, Ocean and Kingston are determined to learn everything
the island can teach them. With lively illustrations and
sea-sational facts, Ocean's World is ideal for kids 4 to 8,
especially fans of Octonauts or Magic School Bus; is a perfect gift
for baby showers, Christmas, or birthdays, as well as a
just-because gift for curious kids; and fits on a child's lap or in
a gift basket. Kids will so love exploring the island and
ocean--and all the wonders they have to offer--that they won't want
their island adventure to end!

This Handbook is a state-of-the-field volume containing diverse
approaches to sensory experience, bringing to life in an
innovative, remarkably vivid, and visceral way the lives of past
humans through contributions that cover the chronological and
geographical expanse of the ancient Near East. It comprises
thirty-two chapters written by leading international contributors
that look at the ways in which humans, through their senses,
experienced their lives and the world around them in the ancient
Near East, with coverage of Anatolia, Egypt, the Levant,
Mesopotamia, Syria, and Persia, from the Neolithic through the
Roman period. It is organised into six parts related to sensory
contexts: Practice, production, and taskscape; Dress and the body;
Ritualised practice and ceremonial spaces; Death and burial;
Science, medicine, and aesthetics; and Languages and semantic
fields. In addition to exploring what makes each sensory context
unique, this organisation facilitates cross-cultural and
cross-chronological, as well as cross-sensory and multisensory
comparisons and discussions of sensory experiences in the ancient
world. In so doing, the volume also enables considerations of
senses beyond the five-sense model of Western philosophy (sight,
hearing, touch, taste, and smell), including proprioception and
interoception, and the phenomena of synaesthesia and kinaesthesia.
The Routledge Handbook of the Senses in the Ancient Near East
provides scholars and students within the field of ancient Near
Eastern studies new perspectives on and conceptions of familiar
spaces, places, and practices, as well as material culture and
texts. It also allows scholars and students from adjacent fields
such as Classics and Biblical Studies to engage with this material,
and is a must-read for any scholar or student interested in or
already engaged with the field of sensory studies in any period.
What if museums could harness the emotional and intellectual
connections people have to personal and everyday objects to create
richer visitor experiences? In this book, Elizabeth Wood and
Kiersten Latham present the Object Knowledge Framework, a tool for
using objects to connect museum visitors to themselves, to others,
and to their world. They discuss the key concepts underpinning our
lived experience of objects and how museums can learn from them.
Then they walk readers through concrete methods for transforming
visitor-object experiences, including exercises and strategies for
teams developing exhibit themes, messages, and content, and
participatory experiences.

sisters trapped in a web of deceit. First they made me kill. Then
leave behind the one person I love. Now I'm getting even. Annie and
Fia have battled to survive within the sinister Keane Foundation
for years, using their powers to defend each other. Now the sisters
have allies; friends who might help them escape. But Annie's

instincts can't always tell her who to trust. With only each other
truly to rely on, their extraordinary gifts may not be enough to
save them...
When your world is paranormal, be glad that you're human... the
exciting sequel to bestselling PARANORMALCY, loved by Becca
Fitzpatrick, author of HUSH, HUSH. A lot has changed since Evie
escaped from the International Paranormal Containment Agency with
her shapeshifter boyfriend, Lend. She's no longer occupied with
bagging and tagging paranormals to be monitored at IPCA's
headquarters. Instead, she spends her days at school like a normal
teenager, eagerly awaiting the weekends when Lend comes home from
college and trying not to be killed by overly enthusiastic soccer
players in her gym class. Evie's world, in fact, has become
overwhelmingly normal. And Evie is shocked to realise that normal
can be...kind of boring. Then Raquel appears, asking her to help
out at IPCA again. As Evie dips back into her former life, she
learns that things are changing in the world of paranormals, and
never-before-seen supernatural creatures are popping up left and
right. Evie also has to deal with IPCA's newest teenage recruit who
has the power to open faerie doors and a nasty tendency to show up
in Evie's room unannounced. But nothing prepares her for the
reappearance of her faerie ex-boyfriend Reth, who hints that a
battle is brewing in the faerie world. And the prize they're
fighting over? Evie's soul. Oh, bleep. So much for normal.
