Download or read book The Sunshine Caper written by Molly Schreier and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this illustrated children’s book, a group of cousins on vacation uncover a message in a bottle that points them to buried treasure. It’s summertime in Beach Haven Terrace, and seven cousins (Molly, Emma, Caroline, Grace, Maggie, Ellie, and Lucy—all named after the book’s young co-authors) are staying with their grandmother before “the boys” arrive from summer camp. The eldest look after the younger girls and play on the sandy beaches. One day, they find a bottle in the sand, supposedly sent by crewmembers on a lost Spanish ship, which contains an English-language message of hidden treasure, and the girls collaborate to follow a list of clues to its source. The authors offer realistic sisterly dynamics (“ ‘Women! And you are my women!’ Molly said, imitating the voice their Pop Pop”) and have a documentary eye for the experience of adolescent vacationing. The girls take a tour of their summer town on buses and tandem bicycles, spurred by their own imaginative sense of adventure. The historical context of in this light, low-stakes mystery becomes increasingly implausible; one clue, for instance, is related via a musical performance on a family-fun pirate ship. Leslie’s ink-and-watercolor images feature appealing composition and provide helpful accompaniment to the text with serene Atlantic overcast beaches, lighthouses, grasses, and sandy shoes. However, the images’ small size makes the details hard to see. Overall, this collaborative project captures real affection and a feeling of leisure and adventure that will be comforting to emerging chapter-book readers. The mystery lacks polish, logic, and clear resolution (“And who was it, exactly, who had left the girls those clues? I leave it to you, dear reader....”). Still, the O’Meara, Schreier, and Hennessey team deliver a pleasant work . An often charming summer story, hampered by some puzzling story elements.

A hapless gang of crooks, led by pawnbroker Harold Sneed, have managed pull off ‘the big one’: a wages snatch at a factory in Shrewsbury. Two gang members take the money back to Birmingham by train, changing at a station almost on the doorstep of Sir Humphrey of Batch Hall. It’s there that things start to unravel. The money goes missing. Misunderstanding follows misunderstanding, until it leads the crooks to Batch Hall when everyone is busy with a historical re-enactment show. Among the replica firearms is a real gun, carried by Harold Sneed with murderous intent and Humphrey in mind. Sneed is now convinced that Humphrey – an overweight former short-order cook from the Bronx – is a Mafia mobster lying low. And on top of this, he believes Humph has his money; as a result, the spectators at Batch Hall are in for more of a show than they bargained for...

It’s a treasure, a smashing read, funny and beautifully written.” “These books are such fun, darkly comic and full of great characters. ... Batch Magna is a place I would love to find, and the river sounds idyllic.” “Hurrah for Batch Magna, Humphrey and friends.” “I loved this book. It’s lyrical and very amusing, with all the charm of an old Ealing comedy. ... More please Mr Maughan!” “What an amazing writer! I have never found any descriptive writing that has gripped me so much before.” “A thoroughly enjoyable read. ... Is there another Batch Magna book on the way, please? Such a wonderfully descriptive bucolic and warmly ‘human’ story with echoes of the Darling Buds of May.” “A wonderful, funny, well-crafted escape from everyday life. If you love writing that absorbs you into the landscape you will love this book. Every sense was satisfied with the author’s beautiful descriptions of the Marches. Escape from the tarmac, concrete and relentlessness of life with this stunning book. Thank you Mr Maughan.” “I absolutely loved this book and all the characters became so real to me, I just couldn’t put it down.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a remarkable career that has spanned nearly fifty years, Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out. At just shy of fourteen, she began a ten-year stretch working in a kaleidoscope of quintessential midwestern eateries of the time. Moranville’s hands-on experiences weave a vivid tapestry of the American restaurant landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the tables turned as Moranville became a prolific food and wine writer for national publications, as well as the dining critic for the Des Moines Register and dsm Magazine. Amidst the vast changes that have occurred over the years, Love Is My Favorite Flavor underscores the timelessness of what it is we seek when we entrust restaurateurs with our hard-earned money and our hard-won leisure time. Dining out may have changed dramatically since the 1970s, but the joys of being in the hands of people who care deeply about our time at their tables have not.

His name is Grant Achatz, and he is redefining the American restaurant once again for an entirely new generation . . . Alinea is in perpetual motion; having eaten here once, you can't wait to come back, to see what Achatz will come up with next." --GourmetReviews & AwardsJames Beard Foundation Cookbook Award Finalist: Cooking from a professional Point of View Category James Beard Foundation Outstanding Chef Award! "Even if your kitchen isn't equipped with a paint-stripping heat gun, thermocirculator, or refractometer, and you're only vaguely aware that chefs use siphons and foams in contemporary cooking, you can enjoy this daring cookbook from Grant Achatz of the Chicago restaurant Alinea.. . . While the recipes can hardly become part of your everday cooking, this book is far too interesting to be left on the coffee table. As you read, a question emerges: Is Alinea's food art? . . . I go a little further, describing Achatz with a word that he would probably never use to describe himself: avant-garde, as it defined art movements at the beginning of the last century--planned, self-concious, and structured attempts to provoke and shake the status quo. Just as with those artists, the results are not necessarily as interesting as the intentions and concepts behind them. In this sense, this volume constitutes a full-blown although not threatening manifesto."—Art of Eating
