“It’s a pleasure to spend time with Monty as she finds the courage to face grief with an open heart.” - Sara Pennypacker, author of New York Times Bestseller Pax Monty doesn’t believe in miracles. Not since her mom died. But she’s going to need one to bring together the right team and win the All Saints School talent show. The nuns have promised that the winners will receive grace. This force could fix everything wrong in Monty’s life—from the fact that she keeps getting detention and upsetting her dad, to the worrisome feeling she’s been having in the wake of her mom’s death: a floating that carries her far above her own life and one day might take her away for good. Monty assembles three classmates to present the work of local poets, but her neighbor Danny’s heart isn’t in it, her crush Leon is a wild card, and her new friend Sandra is living with a chronic illness that keeps getting worse and bringing Monty face to face with difficult memories. Everything is looking bleak, but Monty’s friends rally around her and awaken the bravery she needs to deliver a shocking poetry performance—and finally say goodbye. In her own way, of course. With broken rules and buckets of grace.

All year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the milky way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury—and an absolute magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as: Why are there love poems in the lobby inbox? How many Imperial spies are currently on board? What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver’s conference? And perhaps most pertinently—who is driving the ship? Each guest has a secret, every member of staff a universe unto themselves. At the center of these interweaving lives and interlocking mysteries stands Carl, one time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It’s the love of his life and the only place he’s ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl’s comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

In this modern era of traffic jams, road rage and speed cameras, it's easy to forget the simple pleasure that the gentlemanly pastime of motoring can bring. This handy little guide from the original age of the automobile, reminds us how to achieve maximum enjoyment from the motoring experience. With essential advice for both beginner drivers and confirmed Road Hogs - from choosing your vehicle and learning to drive to the latest dashboard equipment and all you could want to know about oiling, greasing and valve grinding - Pemberton also offers many tips on women drivers, picnicking, the holiday tour and fitting a wireless into your car. A man of strong opinions, he insists you give way to the man driving uphill, for 'if you block his way you may spoil one of the motorist's most pleasant thrills, that is, a good top-gear hill climb'. He also offers wise advice on everything from speed limits: 'From long experience of touring in Britain and abroad I should say that an average speed of 20 miles per hour is a sound allowance' to new technology: 'In wet weather one of the chief annoyances to the driver is an obscured wind-screen. There are highly efficient automatic wind-screen wipers on the market.' Both informative and entertaining, Motor Do's and Dont's is the perfect Christmas gift for the motor enthusiast in your life.
