Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her sorcery to a Victorian gothic thriller -- an enthralling, darkly comic tale that would do Dickens proud. The master puppeteer, Gaspare Grisini, is so expert at manipulating his stringed puppets that they appear alive. Clara Wintermute, the only child of a wealthy doctor, is spellbound by Grisini's act and invites him to entertain at her birthday party. Seeing his chance to make a fortune, Grisini accepts and makes a splendidly gaudy entrance with caravan, puppets, and his two orphaned assistants.Lizzie Rose and Parsefall are dazzled by the Wintermute home. Clara seems to have everything they lack -- adoring parents, warmth, and plenty to eat. In fact, Clara's life is shadowed by grief, guilt, and secrets. When Clara vanishes that night, suspicion of kidnapping falls upon the puppeteer and, by association, Lizzie Rose and Parsefall.
As they seek to puzzle out Clara's whereabouts, Lizzie and Parse uncover Grisini's criminal past and wake up to his evil intentions. Fleeing London, they find themselves caught in a trap set by Grisini's ancient rival, a witch with a deadly inheritance to shed before it's too late.
Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz's Victorian gothic is a rich banquet of dark comedy, scorching magic, and the brilliant and bewitching storytelling that is her trademark.

Good scent and sizable soap bar
I bought the 6-pack for everyday use and really like the fresh, clean scents — nothing overpowering.
These bars lather nicely and rinse off without leaving a greasy film.
Gentle enough to use on my face, body, and hands without irritation.
Each 5.3 oz bar lasts a good while — better than many other “gentle” soaps I’ve tried.
Packaging arrived neat and intact, perfect for gifting or sharing.
Great value for the set and the scent variety keeps shower time pleasant.

Solid Soap Set for Men
This natural men’s bar soap set has quickly become a daily favorite after a few uses. The fresh, clean scents are subtle and not overpowering, giving a nice masculine smell without lingering too strong. Bars lathers easily and feels gentle on the skin, making it great for face, body, and hands with no dryness afterward. The bars are generously sized and seem to last a long time.

Keeps the bees and bugs out of beverages
Great . I have used on several different brands of drinks and they work nice to cover your drink once opened. They don’t prevent the spills but reduce the spill !!
And the slide into your shirt or jeans pocket great!
