When an eccentric, single woman named Evelyn Cairns expresses interest in adopting him, he is delighted and astonished. Then, without warning, he is taken to live with new foster parents, and all contact with Miss Cairns abruptly stops. However, Mak is determined to hold on to his hopes of a life with her, resents his new parents, and relations in his new home quickly become intolerable ... Then Mak learns that Miss Cairns has died, and no one had thought to tell him. He is utterly grief-stricken. However, with the discovery that he is a beneficiary of Evelyn's will, things start looking up. His foster parents arrange for some of the money to be released for an overseas trip, which they hope will bring the three of them closer together. But things don't quite go according to plan ... *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Children & Young Adult; Teenage Fiction; ISBN: 0340799390. ISBN/EAN: 9780340799390.

The DANDY ANNUAL is the current name of the book that has been published every year since 1938,by D. C. Thomson & Co., Ltd.,based in Dundee,to tie-in with the children's weekly comic 'The DANDY'. The first issue was printed in December 1937, making it the world's third-longest running comic,after Il Giornalino (cover dated 1 October 1924) and Detective Comics (cover dated March 1937).From August 2007 until October 2010,it was rebranded as 'Dandy Xtreme', relaunching as an online comic 'The Digital Dandy',appearing on the Dandy website and in the Dandy App on the same day as the final printed issue of the comic.That digital relaunch was not successful and the comic ended just six months later.As one of the best-selling comics in the UK,along with 'The BEANO', 'The DANDY' had sales of 2 million issues a week in the 1950s.Its final printed edition was issued on 4th December 2012, the comic's own 75th anniversary,after sales slumped to just 8,000 a week.As of 2021,there have been 83 editions of the annuals.'The Dandy Annual' continued to be published,even though the weekly Dandy comic has now ended.The annuals are traditionally published in July or August, in time for the Christmas market and since 1965,they have had the date of the following year on the cover - prior to that no date was given.From 1938 to 1951 the annual was called 'The Dandy Monster Comic.' A name change in 1952 made to 'The DANDY BOOK' and continued with the year changing for each subsequent annual,until the release of the 2003 book in 2002,when it was renamed 'The DANDY ANNUAL'. Even with the comic's relaunch as 'Dandy Xtreme' in 2007,it is still known as 'The DANDY ANNUAL'. Mirroring the comics at the time,the front cover usually featured Korky the Cat.After Desperate Dan took over the front page in 1984,the annual cover reflected this by featuring both Korky and Dan until the release of the 1991 book in 1990 which was the first ever Dandy Annual to not feature Korky on the front cover in any way.He has made several appearances since then,despite the main focus shifting to Dan.

With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery - a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power broker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, their only hope for survival is to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all. In "Deception Point, " bestselling author Dan Brown transports readers from the ultrasecret National Reconnaissance Office to the towering ice shelves of the Arctic Circle, and back again to the hallways of power inside the West Wing. *** Quantity Available: 3.

Reinhard Ernst, the chief architect of Hitler's militarization, seen as a threat to American interests. A German spy onboard Paul's transatlantic liner grows suspicious and sends a warning to Germany before Paul discovers and kills him. Then in Berlin, Paul, en route to meet his contact, kills a second suspicious man who may be a storm trooper, setting Insp. Willi Kohl of the Berlin police, or Kripo, on his trail. Deaver weaves the three manhunts—Paul after his target, Kohl after Paul and the Nazi hierarchy after Paul—with a deft hand, bringing to frightening life the Berlin of 1936, a city on the brink of madness. Top Nazis, including Hitler, Himmler and Göring, make colorful cameos, but it's the smart, shaded-gray characterizations of the principals that anchor the exciting plot. An affecting love affair between Paul and his German landlady goes in surprising directions, as do the main plot lines, which move outside Berlin as heroes become villains and vice versa. *** Quantity Available: 1.

How well do you know the person you're married to? Cambridge. Tessa and Stephen's marriage is quietly foundering. She wants a baby, but seemingly cannot have one. Stephen, an introverted scientist, will not talk about it. Tessa can't talk about anything else. A mysterious French voice on the ansaphone leads her to suspect Stephen of infidelity. When he leaves for a conference in Paris, Tess -- impulsively, uncharacteristically -- decides to follow him. But once abroad, Stephen is no longer the quiet Englishman. He has a network of contacts, overt and covert, from Paris to Prague, through which information has been disseminated since Cold War days. But now the political barriers are down, free enterprise is sweeping the scientific community. Information is power, power is money. And Stephen has a uniquely valuable project stored on his laptop! As the frontiers change -- geographic, scientific, personal -- as the shifting balance between the sexes leads to expanding expectations, Stephen and Tessa must weigh their new knowledge of each other against the age-old desires for companionship, satisfaction and passion. *** Quantity Available: 1.
