OF HIDDEN PLACES:
Concealed Rooms, Clandestine Passageways, and the Curious Minds That Made Them
February 13, 2024 from Hachette/Workman
The Sunken Manor. The Labyrinth. The Gateway to Hell. This wondrous guide for the curious and the intrepid takes readers on a lushly photographed and lyrically written, tour of eighteen of the world’s most captivating architectural mysteries. Delve into both the secretive places themselves and the minds of the eccentrics and obsessives who created them. Visit a chamber of skulls high in the Swiss Alps, a Japanese temple full of traps, a Parisian apartment locked and untouched since World War II, a Prohibition-era speakeasy in Washington, DC, and a spooky “initiation” well in Portugal built by a secret society. How far down can you climb before losing your nerve?

A heartwarming and whimsical story about the connection between humans and nature, and the magic of Christmas.
Merry has always wanted to go on a grand adventure, like the great Hero Owls from her favorite stories. But she is just a little owl. Little owls don't have adventures. Then one day, Merry falls asleep in her favorite tree—and wakes up in a big, noisy city! Can a little owl on a grand adventure find her way home?
Perfect for city kids and nature lovers alike, Merry and Hark is a cozy read at Christmas and all year round.
“ The language is poetically descriptive, engaging all senses in depictions of forest and city…This book will broaden the scope of emotions in your Christmas collection and remind little folks they can do big things.” —School Library Journal
“This gentle tale…is a quiet, contemplative take on the usual holiday fare. Diminutive, saucer-eyed Merry is endearing and takes center stage throughout. A merry, pleasant, and uplifting seasonal offering.” —Kirkus
