A Novel

Years ago, a reclusive mega-bestselling children’s author quit writing under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly he resurfaces with a brand-new book and a one-of-a-kind competition, offering a prize that will change the winner’s life in this absorbing and whimsical novel. “Clever and hopeful . . . a love letter to reading and the power that childhood stories have over us long after we've grown up.”—V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Make a wish. . . . Lucy Hart knows better than anyone what it’s like to grow up without parents who loved her. In a childhood marked by neglect and loneliness, Lucy found her solace in books, namely the Clock Island series by Jack Masterson. Now a twenty-six-year-old teacher’s aide, she is able to share her love of reading with bright, young students, especially seven-year-old Christopher Lamb, who was left orphaned after the tragic death of his parents. Lucy would give anything to adopt Christopher, but even the idea of becoming a family seems like an impossible dream without proper funds and stability. But be careful what you wish for. . . . Just when Lucy is about to give up, Jack Masterson announces he’s finally written a new book. Even better, he’s holding a contest at his home on the real Clock Island, and Lucy is one of the four lucky contestants chosen to compete to win the one and only copy. For Lucy, the chance of winning the most sought-after book in the world means everything to her and Christopher. But first she must contend with ruthless book collectors, wily opponents, and the distractingly handsome (and grumpy) Hugo Reese, the illustrator of the Clock Island books. Meanwhile, Jack “the Mastermind” Masterson is plotting the ultimate twist ending that could change all their lives forever. . . . You might just get it.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand: After tragedy strikes, Hollis Shaw gathers four friends from different stages in her life to spend an unforgettable weekend on Nantucket. Hollis Shaw, creator of the popular food blog, Hungry with Hollis, is shocked when her heart surgeon husband, Matthew, is killed in a one-car accident on a snowy February morning. In Hollis's search for comfort, she hears about something called the "Five Star" weekend - a woman invites her best friend from each stage of her life - her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties and mid-life. Hollis decides she will host such a weekend on Nantucket--but her weekend won't be the Hallmark movie that one might expect... There's Tatum, Hollis's best friend from growing up on Nantucket, whose husband invites his childhood best friend and Hollis's first love, Jack Finigan, to spend time with them, stirring up old feelings... ...Dru-ann, Hollis's best friend from from UNC Chapel Hill, now a prominent Black female sports agent in Chicago whose comments about a client's mental health are misconstrued and land her in hot Twitter storm, making her in danger of losing her job and her boyfriend right before the weekend... ...Brooke, Hollis's best friend who helped raise her kids with Hollis during their thirties in Wellesley, MA, who was previously ousted from the Wellesley mom friend group by the leader, Electra, and will be meeting up with Electra this weekend for drinks on Nantucket to make amends... ...and Gigi, who reached out to Hollis on her food blog to become "internet besties." (No one knows Gigi, not even Hollis.) All the while during their stay, Hollis's daughter Caroline - an NYU documentary student - is filming the entire weekend and conducting interviews with each of the women in the hopes of making a short film. Caroline has just ended her first adult relationship, an affair with Ghanaian documentarian Isaac Opoku, and she bumps into her teenage crush Dylan McKenzie (Tatum's son) at the airport. With so much unresolved within each of Hollis's friendships and her daughter, and amid Hollis's own turning point after losing Matthew, what could potentially go wrong? Filled with the emotional depth and trademark cast-of-characters perspective of Hilderbrand's novels, The Five-Star Weekend promises a story of a remarkable weekend between friends--old and new--like no other.

A Prequel

A terrible storm builds in the early morning sky over Bloomington, Indiana, as Elizabeth Baxter prepares to celebrate her daughter Kari's wedding to Tim Jacobs. It's supposed to be the happiest of days, but Elizabeth can't shake a growing sense of dread. Is the storm a sign? Something bad is about to happen. Elizabeth knows it. Indeed, there are dark currents of conflict and doubt coursing through the Baxter family. In the midst of them, Kari Baxter is starting to panic. Is marrying Tim a mistake? And what about her family? Her brother Luke is angry and resentful of their sister Ashley, who has recently returned from Paris, a single mom with a son she too often leaves with their parents. At the same time, Ashley and their sister Brooke have lost the faith that is the family's glue. Against all this, Kari sees Ashley rejecting her longtime love, Landon Blake, who clearly cares for her, no matter what happened in Paris. When the storm reaches a terrifying crescendo, a shocking moment of danger brings important truths to light. At the end of the long day, can the Baxters remain a family, tested but stronger?
