Camping in the wild / by Oldland, Nicholas.;
A bear, a moose and a beaver decide they're finally going to go camping, and they find the perfect spot right next to a lake. The moose has brought along a camping guide with tips such as: make sure your tent poles and guidelines are securely tied; never leave a campfire unattended; and keep your food packed away in a secure container ... none of which they follow! Who would want to work when there is fun to be had? Naturally, one thing after another goes wrong, so, naturally, they start blaming each other. Lucky for them, though, the wild is a great place to be reminded of the most important thing of all: Everything is better when they work together!

"Margaret Murphy is a weaver of fantastic tales, growing up in a world where the truth is too much for one little girl to endure. Her first memory is of the day her friend Agnes died. No one blames Margaret. Not in so many words. Her mother insists to everyone who will listen that her daughter never even left the house that day. Left alone to make sense of tragedy, Margaret wills herself to forget these unbearable memories, replacing them with imagined stories full of faith and magic--that always end happily. Enter Poor Deer: a strange and formidable creature who winds her way uninvited into Margaret's made-up tales. Poor Deer will not rest until Margaret faces the truth about her past and atones for her role in Agnes's death."--

Unspoken / by Rimmer, Kelly.;
Isabel Winton had planned to spend the last few days of her marriage at her vacation home, intending to reflect, regroup... or maybe just do some solitary sulking.

But she's astonished to see that months apart have transformed her emotionally aloof husband into "Paul 2.0," more open than ever before. Paul was blindsided when Isabel left him.
