Year of the carrot / by Hart, Madeleine.;
Leonie MacGregor is sick of carrots. Who wouldn't be if you grew up on a carrot farm? But Leo's dad is obsessed with them. He breeds carrots the way some people breed prized poodles. A series of events leads Leo to suspect someone is after her dad's one-of-a-kind carrot seeds. With the help of her best friend Sara, Leo begins to narrow down the suspects. Is it their organic farmer neighbor who everyone calls "the Hippie"? Or maybe spies sent by the government who think her dad's special carrots might really be worth something! Even though Leo has lots of things to do on the farm-like fixing her super awesome dirt bike-it's up to her to save her dad's carrots!

Her lotus year : China, the roaring twenties, and the making of Wallis Simpson / by French, Paul,1966-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Author Paul French examines a controversial and revealing period in the early life of the legendary Wallis, Duchess of Windsor -- her one year in China. Before she was the Duchess of Windsor, Bessie Wallis Warfield was Mrs. Wallis Spencer, wife of Earl "Win" Spencer, a US Navy aviator. From humble beginnings in Baltimore, she rose to marry a man who gave up his throne for her. But what made Wallis Spencer, Navy Wife, the woman who could become the Duchess of Windsor? The answers lie in her one-year sojourn in China. In her memoirs, Wallis described her time in China as her "Lotus Year," referring to Homer's Lotus Eaters, a group living in a state of dreamy forgetfulness, never to return home. Though faced with challenges, Wallis came to appreciate traditional Chinese aesthetics. China molded her in terms of her style and provided her with friendships that lasted a lifetime. But that "Lotus Year" would also later be used to damn her in the eyes of the British Establishment. The British government's supposed "China Dossier" of Wallis's rumored amorous and immoral activities in the Far East was a damning concoction, portraying her as sordid, debauched, influenced by foreign agents, and unfit to marry a king. Instead, French, an award-winning China historian, reveals Wallis Warfield Spencer as a woman of tremendous courage who may have acted as a courier for the US government, undertaking dangerous undercover diplomatic missions in a China torn by civil war. Her Lotus Year is an untold story in the colorful life of a woman too often maligned by history"--

The missing years / by Elliott, Lexie,author.;
Ailsa Calder has inherited half of a house. The other half belongs to a man who disappeared without a trace twenty-seven years ago--her father. Leaving London behind to settle the inheritance from her mother's estate, Ailsa returns to her childhood home, nestled among the craggy peaks of the Scottish Highlands, joined by the half-sister who's almost a stranger to her. Ailsa can't escape the claustrophobic feeling that the house itself is watching her-- as if her past hungers to consume her. She also can't ignore how the neighborhood animals refuse to set foot within the gates of the garden. When the first nighttime intruder shows up, Ailsa fears that the manor's careless rugged beauty could cost her everything.
