Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Eleven-year-old Hayden Jones always wanted a pet. Too bad Mom doesn't think he's responsible enough. Sure, he'd messed up that one time he brought home a stray cat. He'd given it milk, and how did it repay him? By shredding Mom's curtains. But he's eleven now and would do anything to change Mom's mind.While doing the responsible thing of returning the neighbor's pet, Hayden notices a weird glow coming from their barn. Sneaking inside, he finds a mysterious contraption holding a strange spotted egg. The machine begins to bubble and gulp, and then crackling electricity fills the air. Unsure of what else to do he snatches the egg before everything explodes.Not ready to abandon the twitching egg, Hayden sneaks home armed with the perfect plan: hatch the egg, raise his new pet in secret, and prove to Mom he can do this.But when it hatches a dragon, his itchy adventure begins. Hayden had never seen a dragon before. Where did it come from? How did this one end up in that crazy machine? And why was Hayden suddenly covered in big purple bumps.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Recent biographies of Thomas Jefferson have stressed the sphinxlike puzzles of his character -- famous champion of freedom yet lifelong slaveholder, foe of Miscegenation yet secret lover of a beautiful slave for thirty years, aristocrat yet fervent advocate of government by the people. E. M. Halliday's absorbing, compact, and lucid portrait recognizes these and other puzzles about this great founder, but shows us how understandable they can be in the light of his personal and social circumstances and common human experience.Here are all the pivotal episodes of Jefferson's life: the writing of the Declaration of Independence, his years in Paris, his feud with Alexander Hamilton, the surprising Louisiana Purchase, and his post presidential reconciliation with John Adams. But Halliday's account takes readers deeper, into Jefferson's personal, private life, exploring his childhood, his literary taste, and his unconventional religious thinking and moral philosophy. Here, too, are his adamant opinions on women, the evolution of his ideas on democracy and freedom of expression, and fresh insights into his long relationship with Sally Heimings.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Richard Gere and Diana Silvers. A Time and New York Times Top 10 Book of the Year * New York Times Notable Book and Times Critic's Top Book of the Year NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY * Elle * Bustle * Kirkus Reviews * LitHub * NPR * Oprah Daily The bestselling and critically acclaimed debut novel by Lisa Halliday is "a brilliant and complex examination of power dynamics in love and war" (The Wall Street Journal). Told in two distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, "Folly," tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War, "Folly" also explores Alice's artistic aspirations and growing frustrations of living in Ezra's shadow. By contrast, "Madness" is narrated by Amar, an Iraqi-American man who, on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan, is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. These two seemingly disparate stories gain resonance as their perspectives interact and overlap, with yet new implications for their relationship revealed in an unexpected coda. A stunning debut from a rising literary star, Asymmetry is "a transgressive roman a clef, a novel of ideas, and a politically engaged work of metafiction" (The New York Times Book Review), and a "literary phenomenon" (The New Yorker). Lisa Halliday's novel will captivate any reader with while also posing arresting questions about the very nature of fiction itself. …
