Anything is possible / Elizabeth Strout

[New York] : Random house, 2017

Abstract: ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S BEST BOOKS OF 2017\nShortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize 2018\n\nAn unforgettable cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss from the No. 1 New York Times bestselling and Man Booker long-listed author of My Name is Lucy Barton \n\nRecalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others. Anything is Possible tells the story of the inhabitants of rural, dusty Amgash, Illinois, the hometown of Lucy Barton, a successful New York writer who finally returns, after seventeen years of absence, to visit the siblings she left behind. \n\nReverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors.

Sense and sensibility / Jane Austen

London : Collins Classics, 2010

Collins classics

Abstract: Two sisters of opposing temperaments but who share the pangs of tragic love provide the subjects for Sense and Sensibility. Elinor, practical and conventional, is the epitome of sense; Marianne, emotional and sentimental, the embodiment of sensibility. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love: Elinor desires a man who is promised to another while Marianne loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters--and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Now an award-winning movie written by Emma Thompson.

New York : HarperCollins, 2006

A series of unfortunate events ; 13

Abstract: This book is the last one in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Even if readers braved the previous 12 volumes, they probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents. Perhaps, they should look read something else. Conversely, if they have invested their time and empathy in the previous books, why not? Alas, everything must end. The 13th and final installment in the groundbreaking series will answer readers' most burning questions: Will Count Olaf prevail? Will the Baudelaires survive? Will the series end happily? And if there's nothing out there, what was that noise?

The slippery slope / by Lemony Snicket ; illustrations by Brett Helquist

New York : HarperCollins, 2003

A series of unfortunate events ; 10

Abstract: Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests or very old eggs, there are some things that ought to be avoided. Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and suspicious fans the world over. The 10th book in this outrageous publishing effort features more than the usual dose of distressing details, such as snow gnats, an organised troupe of youngsters, an evil villain with a dastardly plan, a secret headquarters and some dangerous antics you should not try at home. With the weather turning colder, this is one chilling book you would be better off without.

The ersatz elevator / by Lemony Snicket ; illustrations by Brett Helquist

New York : HarperCollins, 2001

A series of unfortunate events ; 6

Abstract: As the Baudelaire orphans trudge up the dark stairway that leads to their new home, they can't help but wonder what lies above. Could this be the place where they will finally be safe? In their luxurious new home, surely they will be able to relax. With some luck, Violet can finally enjoy inventing as a hobby. Unless, of course, she must invent a contraption in an attempt to free friends in danger. And Klaus may find time to enjoy reading in the Squalors' private library. That is, if he doesn't need the books to find one piece of vital information. And Sunny may be able to spend her time gleefully gnawing. Unless she needs to employ her extraordinary teeth to escape a terrifying trap. What lies above is a mystery, but what is certain is that when you are living on the top floor of a tall apartment building, it's a long way down. The Baudelaires had best be prepared, just in case the penthouse apartment of 667 Dark Avenue presents a series of unfortunate events. Regardless of all the wonders the world of water has to offer, the Baudelaire siblings should hone their skills while ocean bound, just in case this journey turns out to be the most dreadful yet in a series of unfortunate events.

The hostile hospital / by Lemony Snicket ; illustrations by Brett Helquist

New York : HarperCollins, 2001

A series of unfortunate events ; 8

Abstract: The Baudelaire orphans need a safe place to stay -- somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police; a quiet refuge where they can find shelter and food, and have a chance to try and unravel the mystery that surrounds them. Given the situation, a nearby hospital will have to do. If things go well, Violet may be able to use her inventing skills to enjoy the various fascinating equipment found at a hospital. And perhaps Klaus, who enjoys reading a great deal, will come across a piece of information in a library that could change the lives of the Baudelaires forever. And though hospitals are already full of dangerous sharp objects, Sunny's four extraordinary teeth may also come in handy. Indeed, the hospital may be the safest place the Baudelaires can get to for now. And once they are there, they can only hope that their stay at Heimlich Hospital doesn't prove to be the nastiest in a series of unfortunate events.
