Jason Rekulak

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job babysitting Ted and Caroline Maxwell's five-year-old son, Teddy. She immediately bonds with this sweet boy, who is never without his sketchbook. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man dragging a woman's lifeless body. Then his stick figures evolve into increasingly sophisticated sketches depicting one disturbing scene after another.
Is Teddy troubled, or is he channeling forces he cannot possibly understand?
Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory must decipher the images and save
Teddy before it's too late.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER · OPTIONED FOR NETFLIX BY A PRODUCER OF THE BATMAN

"I loved it." --Stephen King

From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman's lifeless body.

Then, Teddy's artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it's too late.

Thomas S. Buechner

"As close to a perfect art book as possible... Rockwell's art was created to be reproduced; designed by the artist to be printed, not hung ... reproductions are flawless. As a book it is beautiful, and as a collection of an artist's (yes, artist's) work it is complete and well documented. The book contains 614 of Rockwell's illustrations, spanning his whole career, and the full-color plates are a credit to him, his publisher, and the printer.
—Harper's Magazine
"The text by Buechner is especially interesting, not merely in the details of Rockwell's life, but in the sharp description of the fastidiousness with which he work[ed], his genius for detail, his insistence on sacrificing every thing to the requirements for reproduction. He is in the high tradition of the Renaissance, an artist of infinite capacity, ready to prove himself worthy of his hire. Above him, or beside him, in that role, no one stands today.
"The future's evaluation will put him higher than our contemporary critics.. a book worthy of the artist."
—The Boston Sunday Globe
"Long after legions of the pretentiously inviolate talents cherished by today's pretentiously involute tastes are forgotten, because they didn't have anything to say, Norman Rockwell will be remembered, because he did. The book underscores this, and that's the highest compliment one can pay it."
—Cleveland Press
"Altogether, it is a splendid book, superbly designed and printed, and well rounded out with documentary material and the author's perceptive survey of the artist's life and work."
—American Artist
"One of the handsomest artbooks. ... I can think of no more suitable gift or one more likely to evoke a beaming smile."
—New York Post on

The Origins, Discovery and Cultivation of the World's Most Popular Garden Plants

The flowering plants in your garden, and their variety of color and form, are the result of hundreds of years of tradition, science, skill and intrepid exploration. They may be native plants carefully selected to provide larger blooms or a greater color range, exotic species with origins in far-distant lands, or cultivars which have been painstakingly bred to conform to an ideal of shape and form.

The Gardener's Atlas explores the histories of many of the world's most popular cultivated plants and reveals how and where they grew in the wild. It relates extraordinary and uplifting tales of their discovery in some of the remotest regions on earth -- tales of determination and perseverance, of barter and exchange, and of international friendship struck up between enthusiastic horticulturists from the 1500s onward.

There are insights into how plants that are now simply decorative were once used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, for food or ritual, and into how they earned their common or Latin names. This is a book which cannot fail to enrich your gardening experience.
