While fleeing from neighborhood bullies, a lonely girl uncovers a dark secret buried near the abandoned ruins of a house mired in local legend. Ruth hopes the charred remains that she unearths will bring a bit of magic to her life, but she's no match for the force that dwells in this place, waiting for a chance to live again. A displaced child neglected by affluent parents and a former preacher burdened by the tragic and scandalous circumstances of his mother's death face a final reckoning at the hands of a woman with the power to summon good and evil. In the Light is the final book of the Skillute Cycle, a chronicle of one fictional town and an abiding horror that lies just beneath the surface. In the woods. In the water. Beneath the ground. The time has arrived. Something evil has come home.

Highlights NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes a novel with the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism as her beloved Shopaholic series. About the Author: Sophie Kinsella is the author of the bestselling Shopaholic series, as well as the novels Can You Keep a Secret? 368 Pages Fiction + Literature Genres, Humorous Description About the Book An instant "New York Times" bestseller, Kinsella's first stand-alone novel since the unforgettable Shopaholic series features the lovable and irrepressible Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart and a few little secrets. Book Synopsis NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes a novel with the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism as her beloved Shopaholic series. "Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter."--Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets: Secrets from her boyfriend: I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur. Secrets she wouldn't share with anyone in the world: I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is. Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger. . . . But come Monday morning, Emma's office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company's elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. Things couldn't possibly get worse. Or could they? Praise for Can You Keep a Secret? "Venturing beyond Saks and Barney's, the bestselling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot entertains readers with backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex. . . . Kinsella's down-to-earth protagonist is sure to have readers sympathizing and doubled over in laughter."--Publishers Weekly "If laughing out loud in public places is your bag, be sure to pick up [Can You Keep a Secret?]. Heroine Emma Corrigan is going to be your new best friend."--Boston Herald "Kinsella's timing is so perfect, her instincts so spot-on, that it's easy to . . . devour the book like the guilty pleasure it is."--Miami Herald "Chick lit at its lightest and breeziest . . . filled with fabulous clothes, stalwart friends, and snotty enemies waiting to be taken down a peg."--Orlando Sentinel "[Kinsella's] dialogue is sharp, even her minor characters are well drawn, and her parody of the marketing world is very funny."--Washington Post Book World "[A] comedic frenzy of ill-fated events . . . punchy . . . fast-moving."--Rocky Mountain News Review Quotes "Venturing beyond Saks and Barney's, the bestselling author of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot entertains readers with backstabbing office shenanigans, competition, scandal, love and sex. . . .

Move over, Bridget [Jones]!"--Evening Chronicle (U.K.) "Hilarious."--Sun (U.K.) "Kinsella's light touch keeps this very funny look at life and relationships flying along and builds Emma into a genuinely endearing character. Romantic, but refreshingly witty."--Sunday Mirror (U.K.) "Like a riotous gossip with your best friend--it'll have you laughing, cringing and hopelessly engrossed from the first page."--Scottish Daily Record & Sunday Mail "A delightful new novel . . . Kinsella has another irresistible hit on her hands."--Booklist About the Author Sophie Kinsella is the author of the bestselling Shopaholic series, as well as the novels Can You Keep a Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, I've Got Your Number, Wedding Night, My Not So Perfect Life, and Surprise Me.

Adventure and risk...when eighteen-year-old Elle O'Sullivan heads out to Caillagh University in Morosa to compete in the Zenithal Cup, she has to expect a bit of both.

Easy, right?Join Elle and her friends as they navigate the treacherous, twisted paths through the tale of the Viridian Isles.

Stop That Blurting and Interrupting is a Behavior Classroom Management resource which was created to support students who have difficulty with calling out. I would say that in the beginning of the year, that is pretty much everyone! This packet can be used with any book on this topic or it can stand alone. It is meant to be used with grades: K-3, but can be adapted for older grades. So I am sure you are wondering what’s included in this packet: ♥ 5 Strategy cards and 5 8.5X11 Posters to use and discuss to help child to be better listeners and not interrupt when they feel like they might explode! These cards can be put on a chart as you discuss this topic or simply placed somewhere in the classroom for reference. ♥ 6 differentiated response sheets that can be used for various students in various ways to reinforce each strategy and skill. ♥ 12 role playing cards to allow students to think what they might do in situations where they feel like they might interrupt. ♥ 2 awards to use for children who may have this difficulty and need some positive reinforcement when they remember to use the recommended strategies. ♥ An original poem to read and reflect upon or hang in the classroom. ♥ An idea you might want to use to motivate your students and to demonstrate an explosion: Teacher Tip: Ask the students if they know what interrupting means. After listening to responses, formulate a short definition. Discuss how sometimes you can feel like you might explode when you really want to say something but someone else is talking. Then shake a club soda bottle a bit and have each student shake it as you pass it. Once each student has had a turn, open the bottle in a large tub or container OR NOT…a mess can always be cleaned up and show your class that sometimes we feel like we are going to explode if we are not able to blurt out what we want to say... just like this soda bottle.
