Sure, she may be the only gift-less member of her family, but she knows she can put their crumbling pieces back together again.

Unfortunately, Mirabel's youngest cousin, Antonio, beats her to it. He overhears Tío Bruno's vision and does the unthinkable--leaves the Encanto to find a solution. Terrified of what could happen outside the safety of their home, Mirabel has no other choice but recruit Strong Luisa and Perfect Isabela to help find their baby cousin.

But what starts as a rescue mission turns into a magical quest with a band of brothers whose family has a deep secret connection to theirs.

And soon, Mirabel learns that missing cousins and disappearing gifts may be just the beginning of their problems....

A single waltz changed everything. But now they must try to preserve that magic for a lifetime in New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh's new book in the Ravenswood series.

The youngest Ware daughter, Stephanie, has always harbored secret passion for the best friend of her brother. In her eyes Bertrand Lamarr, Viscount Watley, is perfect. For many years she thought of herself as quite the opposite. When he surprised her by asking her to save a waltz for him, she panicked--and refused him in the unkindest words.

Stephanie's guilt over her behavior is such that she now dreads seeing him, as she inevitably must, at the Christmas family reunion she is attending. She wants to hide from him, but what she doesn't know is that Bertrand has always admired her from afar and is determined to overcome her apparent dislike of him and win his waltz. For he believes there is magic between them, and they will discover it can conquer all their regrets and fears if they but give themselves a chance.

Un libro lleno de vida sobre el oficio de escribir,
la magia de la creación y el poder eterno
de las palabras.

La palabra mágica es mucho más que una guía de escritura, es una conversación. Isabel Allende comparte los triunfos, errores y aprendizajes que los desafíos y las alegrías le han brindado a lo largo de los años. A partir de sus propias vivencias, este libro es una clase magistral para todo aquel que desee iniciar su propio viaje literario.

«La literatura es mágica: armar una historia es un proceso misterioso,
orgánico, instintivo. Al escribir entro en la dimensión de los
sueños, la intuición, las premoniciones; debo rendirme y dejar que
los personajes hagan lo que tienen que hacer y que la historia se
cuente a sí misma. Paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo sola y en
silencio, como un monje en su celda. Escribir es como meditar. En
la soledad recuerdo, escucho voces, tengo visiones. Mientras más
callada estoy, más oigo y más veo. En el silencio de la escritura a
veces me visitan espíritus --¿o serán las musas?--. Lo siento como
un roce en la nuca. Al escribir me transformo en médium. La escritura
para mí no es una opción, es una adicción». - Isabel Allende

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A vibrant book about the craft of writing,
the magic of creation, and the enduring power
of words.

The Magic Word is much more than a writing guide--it is a conversation. Isabel Allende shares the triumphs, mistakes, and lessons that challenges and joys have brought her over the years. Drawing from her own experiences, this book is a master class for anyone who wishes to begin their own literary journey.

"Literature is magical: shaping a story is a mysterious, organic, instinctive process. When I write, I enter the realm of dreams, intuition, and premonitions; I must surrender and allow the characters to do what they need to do and let the story tell itself. I spend most of my time alone and in silence, like a monk in her cell. Writing is like meditating. In solitude, I remember, I hear voices, I have visions. The quieter I am, the more I hear and the more I see. In the silence of writing, spirits sometimes visit me--or perhaps they are muses?--I feel it as a brush against the nape of my neck. When I write, I become a medium. Writing for me is not an option; it is an addiction." -- Isabel Allende

In this heartwarming, giftable comfort read for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Richard Paul Evans, a family shaken by loss experiences a life-changing season of new beginnings and Christmas magic on North Carolina's Outer Banks.

A time for family . . .

The holidays bring a storm of emotions for Thad Wright. Mere days before Christmas, his estranged daughter passes away--leaving behind a baby, Laura. And when Thad discovers that time is not on his beloved wife Lia's side either, he takes Lia's last plea to heart: that Laura is not raised by strangers, that he gives the child a loving home. As difficult as the months ahead are, Thad's granddaughter is a singular source of light in an otherwise dark season.

And for making every Christmas wish come true . . .

Thad's friends in Morehead City are there for him, including Akila, his coworker at the local hotel where he's an assistant chef. She's kind, comforting, gentle, and everything her teenage son, Juri, is not. In that boy, Thad sees the same rebellion that led his own daughter astray. Yet as Thad's relationship with Akila deepens, he's determined to forge a bond with the young, defiant aspiring musician. Soon, helping to make Juri's dreams a reality is an unexpected wonder for Thad. It even begins to mend his own grieving heart.

As the year passes, another Christmas approaches. What will be a second one for Laura just might be a blessed milestone for Thad, Akila, and Juri, as well.

You can brush, floss, be mindful of your diet and follow all the traditional oral hygiene advice, yet still find yourself needing fillings and ongoing dental cleanings. Dr. Ellie Phillips challenges this conventional dental instruction to "brush and floss," arguing it can be both ineffective and potentially harmful. In her groundbreaking book, Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye, she unveils the secrets to achieving and maintaining a truly healthy mouth. In this book, Dr. Phillips explains the importance of bacterial balance for oral health, highlighting how it will never be attained through excessive flossing, aggressive cleanings, or the indiscriminate killing of mouth bacteria. She exposes the detrimental effects of certain dental procedures and products, including tooth whitening, bleaching, dental sealants, and certain fluorides. By adopting her practical do-it-yourself daily routine, you can effortlessly reduce plaque buildup, strengthen your teeth, heal and even reverse small cavities, cure periodontal disease, and eliminate tooth sensitivity.

The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 examines the underlying causes of cavities and gum disease--as well as how teeth and gums can naturally heal themselves. It provides a clear picture of why we must rethink our fundamental beliefs about oral care if we want to avoid dental problems and sidestep all the chronic health conditions that are so closely associated with poor oral health. Part 2 provides details of a complete program that has the power to stop, prevent, and even reverse dental problems.

Isn't it time to bid farewell to cavities, gum disease, and the general health dangers from poor oral health? With Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye as your guide, you will be empowered to take rapid action and dramatically enhance the look, feel, and health of your teeth--at any stage of life, and with the confidence that it is never too late to begin.

Free Chicago: 50 Years of the Reader is an oversized coffee table book that tells the incredible story of the nation's longest surviving free city paper.

In Chicago in 1971, a group of friends gathered around a dining room table to assemble the first issue of a new, "alternative" newspaper. It was designed for an audience that was young, urban, and hip--and they gave it away for free. In the process, they created a new model of journalism that gave birth to an entire industry: the alt-weekly.

Free Chicago: 50 Years of the Reader is a rich, visual tour of the first five decades of the Chicago Reader, drawn from the archives of more than 2,500 issues, supplemented with interviews and essays, as well as never-before-seen notes, manuscripts, and production materials.

The Reader's striking design, irreverent voice, and innovative long-form journalism became a model and inspiration for an explosion of free city papers that launched across the country. Free Chicago covers every era of the Reader, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, along with all the near-deaths and last-minute saves that have kept the Reader alive for more than 50 years.

This gorgeous hardcover edition of Our Strange Duet features stunning sprayed edges, custom character endpapers, a foil-stamped case, and a ribbon!

She was never just the voice he shaped . . .

A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus.

One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Opera House: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine's talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart.

As Christine's star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls--and what she's willing to risk for the life she wants.

Set against the sweeping, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take center stage to tell her own story: fierce, emotional, and unforgettable.

A NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A powerful call to reform how we screen for the deadliest cancer, proving that early detection can save lives long before symptoms begin.

She was forty-four, the picture of health -- a devoted mother of four, a daily runner, a kale enthusiast who never smoked a day in her life. But when she signed up for a routine health scan "just to be safe," she discovered the unthinkable: fast-growing stage I lung cancer.

In her searing and hopeful memoir, Shira Kupperman Boehler tells the story of how one moment upended everything -- and how it may have saved her life. As she navigates surgery, recovery, and the emotional aftershocks of a diagnosis that "shouldn't" have happened, she uncovers a staggering truth: by the time most lung cancers are found, it's too late -- not because we can't detect them earlier, but because our health system doesn't.

Part personal journey, part urgent call to action, One Scan Saved My Life shines a light on the silent epidemic affecting millions of Americans -- including nonsmokers, women, and young adults -- who are excluded from current screening guidelines. With clarity and conviction and backed by the input of medical and policy experts, Shira makes a powerful case for expanding early-detection policies and rethinking how we define "risk."

A story of resilience and the power of speaking up, One Scan Saved My Life asks one simple question that could change everything: What if prevention didn't come too late?

Ollie, a unique Catamus Cat, wants to be seen for his true and gentle nature, but it feels like others only recognize his differences. He longs to share the river's beauty with his friends, but instead, the other creatures whisper and chant:

"Catamus, Catamus, not like us-Catamus, Catamus, just a bust!"

In this sweeping WWII historical romance threaded with magic and myth, two star-crossed Japanese American teenagers find a love more powerful than the gods--inspired by the author's true family history of internment and resilience.

A divine favor can change everything.

1942. War rumbles across the world, gods stir in the wind, and two lives are set on a collision course that will change them forever.

Seventeen-year-old Ren Hamada has always been defined by his troubled past, while Violet Aratani has only ever worried about keeping her straight-A grades and helping her parents run their beloved print shop. The two have little in common beyond the old magic that thrums in their worn family relics--and the fact that they're Japanese American in a country determined to cast them as the enemy.

Forced out of their homes and into ramshackle wooden barracks in the California desert by the US government, Ren and Violet collide. In a barbed wire world where everything they thought they knew is upside-down, the magnetic pull between them is the only thing that makes sense.

But there's more than just desert dust swirling in the air. A god walks among them, his mortal form tethered to the camp, and only Violet and Ren hold the key to freeing him--an act that would earn them an immeasurable reward. Yet with tensions rising and their lives on the line, is even a divine favor powerful enough to save them?
