The first pussy willows have appeared in Cranberryport, and that means Easter is just around the corner. But when Mr. Whiskers reminds his friend Seth about the annual Easter egg hunt, he receives a terrible shock.

"No! No Easter egg hunt this year," Seth announces. "I'm going to sell the General Store and head south. I'll be gone by Easter time."

Mr. Whiskers can hardly believe his ears. He knows Seth has been lonely ever since his wife died. But...suffering codfish! Who will he beat at checkers on Saturday nights?

It is Mr. Whiskers's young friend Maggie who comes up with the perfect plan to make Seth feel wanted, and needed, in Cranberryport. Even the mayor and sheriff pitch in to help. And when Easter Day arrives, the egg hunt is the jolliest ever, with Mr. Whiskers as the Easter bunny!

Once again, as a special bonus, the Devlins have provided a recipe. This time for a delicious cranberry cobbler.

This new, thoroughly updated ninth edition of Bradt's Ghana remains the only dedicated guidebook to this beguiling country - and the most comprehensive source of travel information about it. One of West Africa's few English-speaking nations, the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence and the world's second-largest producer of chocolate, Ghana is friendly, safe and inexpensive, making it an ideal destination for first-time visitors to the continent. Ghana is a country more about experiencing the unique and authentic than ticking off a series of boxes.

Written by Philip Briggs, arguably the world's most experienced guidebook writer, and updated by a travel writer specialising in Africa, Bradt's Ghana guidebook provides everything you need to know to plan and enjoy your trip. Its coverage ranges from inexpensive opportunities to see wildlife to cultural and historical aspects, from the solemnity of the slave dungeons at Elmina's UNESCO-listed castle to villages near its remote and sparsely populated northern border with Burkina Faso. Twenty-two chapters across five regional sections are complemented by extensive background and practical information, plus a fully illustrated wildlife chapter. With Bradt's Ghana, you can explore the popular Cape Coast or the Ashanti region, marvel at elephants while on a walking safari in Mole National Park, join locals aboard an aging steamer plying Lake Volta (the world's largest man-made reservoir, no less), enjoy creativity at the high-profile Chale Wote Street Art festival or party night-long in the glittering Osu district of the national capital, Accra.

The definitive story of The Clean in their own words.

Now, you said it was yesterday, yesterday's another day

Heading round in make believe, I don't know if it's you or If it's me oh,

I don't know, I don't know

Tally ho, tally ho!

In 1978 in Dunedin, New Zealand, the Kilgour brothers, Hamish and David, and their schoolfriend Peter Gutteridge, got together to form a band called The Clean. When Robert Scott joined in 1980, the band found a combination that endured for nearly forty years.

The Clean profoundly changed alternative music: hitting the New Zealand charts for months with a single made for $50, 'Tally Ho!'; helping establish Flying Nun and a music scene independent of the big labels; pioneering a low-fi, do-it-yourself approach to rock music; and touring internationally to influence bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo.

Raw and immediate, this is the story as told by members of The Clean and their inner circle - fellow musicians such as Chris Knox, Martin Phillipps, Graeme Downes and Ira Kaplan, friends and family, pub promoters and sound engineers, and their good friend, Richard Langston. From teenagers in a Dunedin practice room to New York City on 9/11 - this is the band's history as it unfolds.

What is wrong with the world when the disappearance of a single red baseball cap with an American political slogan on it-yes, one of those hats-can threaten the very existence of Canada?

Yet isn't there something absurdly fitting about the fact that, at the centre of this international crisis, stands a group of aging friends who meet once a month to discuss novels, drink too much wine, and (not always gently) dissect one another's lives?
Having met for more than twenty years, they call themselves The We're Still Here Book Club-a name perhaps once jokingly defiant but now an all-too-real challenge to the US president himself.
This ensemble of spirited friends-outspoken Muriel and practical Eleanor; kind-hearted Shirin and mystical Lumira; data-minded Deborah and convivial Brad; and the oldest of them all, steadfast octogenarian Audrey-find themselves forced to orchestrate not only the survival of their friendship but of Canada too.
Set in the fictitious and picturesque Canadian-US border town of Brockton, Ontario, this unexpected tale is part sharp-edged satire and part tender portrait of aging, friendship, and patriotism. The We're Still Here Book Club. Volume One: Elbows Up! celebrates the resilience, and the occasional folly, of people determined to stay standing-elbows up, the Canadian way-no matter what fresh chaos the world serves them.

Many people know that spiritual warfare is real, yet are confused about how it actually works.

At some point, you've probably experienced oppression, emotional trauma, chronic sickness, or another form of spiritual attack. You may even have been freed from it briefly, only to have it return. Is there a way to be permanently free from these afflictions?

Freedom from Evil Spirits Made Simple is a practical, biblically grounded guide for those who want to experience lasting freedom from spiritual attacks-without hype, fear, or unnecessary complexity.

Building on scripture, personal testimonies, and decades of ministry insight, this book explores how evil spirits operate, how they gain access to us, and how we can be set free of their influence by exercising authority. Freedom from the influence of evil spirits is the beginning of a new way of living-one rooted in identity, faith, and alignment with God's will.

Inside, you'll discover:

• • What evil spirits are-and what they are not
  • Why Spirit-filled Christians can be afflicted by demons
  • How demons exploit emotional wounds, agreements, and patterns of thinking
  • How ruling spirits and demonic systems operate
  • Why demons sometimes return-and how to prevent it
  • Tips for discerning the presence of evil spirits
  • Practical steps for deliverance and healing
  • How to exercise authority by faith
  • What to do when loved ones need freedom but resist your attempts to help

This book does not sensationalize the demonic or elevate darkness. Instead, it restores focus where it belongs-on Jesus Christ, and the authority He has granted to believers. Every chapter is written to train and equip average people to do miraculous works.

Freedom from Evil Spirits Made Simple is the eighth book in the Kingdom of God Made Simple series and serves as a bridge to the next volume, Spiritual Warfare Made Simple, which expands the discussion to large-scale warfare, prophetic engagement, and territorial conflict.

If you're ready to receive clear instruction on spiritual warfare-this book was written for you.

Learn how to create a garden that works both day and night for moths and butterflies, attracting stunning species and helping them to thrive.

Moths are a crucial but forgotten pollinator, often overlooked in favour of their brighter cousin--the butterfly. But, by ignoring moths, we are missing out on gardens that could be filled with more joy, movement and biodiversity. If we could build gardens that pay both pollinators the attention they deserve, we might just be rewarded with healthier, more beautiful ecosystems...

Susie White has spent over a decade constructing a lively, abundant wildlife haven that values life, variety and growth, of which both moths and butterflies are a crucial part. In this compact volume, she teaches us how to find plants that attract moths and butterflies, how to support these insects through their larval stages, and how to identify and study them.

As with so many insects, numbers of moths and butterflies have declined dramatically in recent years. Actively creating a beautiful garden that welcomes all forms of life is a simple but joyful step to take towards protecting them.

"Karen Walrond shines her light so we can find our own." --Brené Brown

Many of us have strong convictions. We want to advocate for causes we care about--but which ones? We want to work for change--but will the emotional toll lead to burn out?

Leadership coach, lawyer, photographer, and activist Karen Walrond knows that when you care deeply about the world, light can seem hard to find. But when your activism grows out of your joy--and vice versa--you begin to see light everywhere.

In The Lightmaker's Manifesto, Walrond helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy; identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern; and then put it all together to change the world. Creative and practical exercises, including journaling, daily intention-setting, and mindful self-compassion, are complemented by lively conversations with activists and thought leaders such as Valarie Kaur, Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Zuri Adele. With stories from around the world and wisdom from those leading movements for change, Walrond beckons readers toward lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction, and joy.

By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn how to become makers of light.

"A Herculean triumph of creative writing, and a joy to read." --Alex Rowson, author of The Young Alexander

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labors, his endless adventures... Everyone's favorite hero, right?

Well, it's not.

This is the story of everyone else.

• Alcmene: Herc's mother (she has knives everywhere)
• Hylas: Herc's first friend (they were more than friends)
• Megara: Princess of Thebes (she'll tell you about the marriage)
• Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc's labors (definitely did not hide in a jar)
• His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods and his victims
It's time to hear their stories.
"Quick-paced and quick-witted... A refreshing take on an ancient tale." --Booklist
"Hercules had his story, now it's time for everyone else to get their say. Wickedly fun and devilishly dark--the tell-all for our times." --Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle

Strange goings-on in a small Texas town

Newly single Chief of Police Samuel Craddock hasn't got time to worry about his own troubles--not with Lily Barnes' wild accusation and trucks dumping suspicious cargo outside Jarrett Creek late at night.

A family feud with a lethal twist

Lily is sure her twin sister, Jewel, is trying to poison her--but it's Jewel who's discovered dead. Did she have a secret that could lead Craddock to her killer?

A dangerously toxic investigation

Craddock's fears about the cargo are heightened by a series of alarming events. What's really being dumped, and why does the millionaire oil boss who owns the land want to keep it hidden? As Craddock closes in on the truth--and a murderer--the stakes couldn't be higher . . .

SHE KILLED A MAN.
HE DESERVED IT.
BUT JUSTICE ISN'T YET DONE.

First in an explosive new thriller series set in the eighties from the author of the critically acclaimed Miranda Corbie series introduces the fierce feminist Renata Drake--on the run from the FBI for the execution-style murder of her little sister's killer.

"Vivid and haunting. I'm eager to hear more from the tenacious and resourceful Renata Drake" Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

California, Southern Humboldt County, 1985. Renata Drake steps off a Greyhound bus and into small-town Garberville, hoping to disappear. She checks the papers. She's not headline news. Not yet.

But she's made a mistake. The FBI have the cannabis-producing "Emerald Triangle" town-- and its corrupt residents--in their sights. Even worse, a teenage girl is missing, and when she turns up dead, the third in three years, it's clear a serial killer is living among them.

Renata knows about murdered girls and the burning desire for justice--and for revenge. Her younger sister Josie is gone, and now, so is the man who killed her. Renata didn't stay in Washington, D.C. to be arrested for executing a murderer, and she shouldn't stay here either. But Renata decides to investigate, and what she uncovers will trigger a final reckoning: For herself, for a killer, and for all of Southern Humboldt.

This powerful, page-turning thriller explores the human cost of corruption and the psychological toll that violence takes on women.
