The Glass Sentence

New York: Viking, 2014. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0670785024. Only slight wear ; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; The Mapmakers Trilogy #1; 8.20 X 5.90 X 1.80 inches; 491 pages; This first book by historian, Grove, has been compared favorably with Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' series. "In the late eighteenth century, a great temporal disruption plunged the world into chaos—some continents remained in the present, while others were thrust into the distant past, a far future, or an ever-shifting mélange of ages. A century after the disruption, Sophie, who lives with her famed mapmaker uncle Shadrack, arrives home one day to find their house ransacked, her uncle kidnapped, and their secret map room—housing mystical maps containing memories—emptied of all of its treasures. Was Shadrack secretly hiding the key to a map capable of healing the rift in time? Together with her new friend Theo, Sophie embarks on an adventure to distant lands to find her uncle. Encountering pirates, hidden cities, undiscovered ages, and legendary creatures along the way, brave Sophie uses her ample smarts and powers of observation to unlock deep secrets. Though the plot occasionally seems overstuffed, debut author Grove wraps the complex central premise of this series opener in lavish detail and brisk plot turns to sweep readers along through her fascinating, fully realized fantasy world.

HALE, LUCRETIA P.

The Peterkin Papers

New York: Looking Glass Library, c.1959. Reprint. Hardcover. Illustrated paper covered boards have some shelf wear. ; A tight solid book. Undated but appears to be circa 1959 ; B&W Illustrations; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 248 pages; "Meet the Peterkins, a lovable crew with a notable lack of common sense. These comic tales chronicle their roundabout attempts to solve simple, everyday problems. Cheerful and energetic, the close-knit family of eight resides in a village near Boston. They play their piano from the front porch because the movers left it with the keyboard facing the parlor window, and they're ready to raise the ceiling to make way for a towering Christmas tree. Only the timely intervention of "the wise old lady from Philadelphia" keeps them from acting on their more elaborate madcap schemes.Author Lucretia Hale, sister to writer and cleric Edward Everett Hale, helped break new ground in children's literature by writing stories to amuse young people rather than instruct or uplift them. These tales first appeared in 1867 in a popular children's magazine of the era, and in the course of a decade, the Peterkins became a household word.". Very Good with no dust jacket .
