El nuevo y electrizante thriller de la autora de El Hombre de Tiza.Hace quinientos años, ocho mártires fueron quemados en la hoguera.
Hace treinta años, dos adolescentes desaparecieron sin dejar rastro.
Hace dos meses, el vicario se suicidó.
Bienvenidos a Chapel Croft. Una oscura historia se agita en Chapel Croft. A una larga lista de desapariciones y muertes se une la del sacerdote de la parroquia local, que se ahorcó en su propia iglesia hace solo unas semanas. Para sustituirlo, llega al pueblo Jack Brooks. Trae consigo una hija de catorce años y una conciencia atormentada, aunque confía en empezar aquí una nueva vida. Pero lo que encuentra es un lugar lleno de conspiraciones y secretos donde le espera un extraño regalo de bienvenida: un kit de exorcismo y un siniestro mensaje. Cuanto más profundiza en la ciudad y llega a conocer a sus peculiares habitantes, más parecen surgir antiguas disputas, misterios y sospechas. Y cuando su hija Flo comienza a ver espectros de chicas ardiendo, resulta claro que los fantasmas de Chapel Croft se niegan a descansar en paz.
Pero descubrir la verdad puede ser letal en un pueblo con un pasado sangriento, donde todos tienen algo que esconder y nadie confía en los extraños. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An unconventional vicar must exorcise the dark past of a remote village haunted by death and disappearances in this explosive and unsettling thriller from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL «Hypnotic and horrifying . . . Without doubt Tudor's best yet, The Burning Girls left me sleeping with the lights on.» --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End A dark history lingers in Chapel Croft. Five hundred years ago, local Protestant martyrs were betrayed--then burned. Thirty years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. And a few weeks ago, the vicar of the local parish hanged himself in the nave of the church. Reverend Jack Brooks, a single parent with a fourteen-year-old daughter and a heavy conscience, arrives in the village hoping for a fresh start. Instead, Jack finds a town rife with conspiracies and secrets, and is greeted with a strange welcome package: an exorcism kit and a note that warns, "But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known." The more Jack and daughter, Flo, explore the town and get to know its strange denizens, the deeper they are drawn into the age-old rifts, mysteries, and suspicions. And when Flo begins to see specters of girls ablaze, it becomes apparent there are ghosts here that refuse to be laid to rest. Uncovering the truth can be deadly in a village with a bloody past, where everyone has something to hide and no one trusts an outsider.

The watermelon seed
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Bought this book for my daughters first birthday. The theme was one in a melon so I thought it would be cute to have everyone who attended her party to write her a little message. I will be putting this in her time capsule for her to open things we have gathered through the years. This was the perfect book for what was needed. The story is so cute and my older kiddos like the book as well!

A Harrowing Account of Addiction, Recovery, and Relapse
Format: Hardcover
Greg Pizzoli’s The Watermelon Seed offers a deceptively simple yet profound exploration of addiction, recovery, and relapse. Through the crocodile’s obsessive love for watermelon, his panic upon swallowing a seed mirrors the fear and anxiety of losing control. The cycle of indulgence, dread, and inevitable return to the source of both pleasure and distress reflects the cyclical nature of addiction. Pizzoli’s playful illustrations mask a darker undercurrent: the crocodile knows watermelon may harm him — yet he cannot resist. A chillingly accurate portrait of the addictive mind, wrapped in the guise of a children’s story.
