An Amazon Debut Spotlight
A Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection

"Like Wharton, Acampora seems to understand fiction as a kind of elegant design. As characters reappear in one story after another, Acampora reveals herself as a careful architect... lovely prose... often a single sentence twists sinuously, charged with positive and negative electricity."--New York Times Book Review

Launched by four starred prepubs and a full page New York Times book review, The Wonder Garden marks Lauren Acampora's rarely seen, sensational entrance into the literary world. With enchanting realism, these linked stories bring to the page the myriad lives of a suburban town, and reveal at each turn the unseen battles we play out behind drawn blinds, the creeping truths from which we distract ourselves, and the massive dreams we haul quietly with us and hold close. Deliciously creepy and masterfully complex The Wonder Garden heralds the arrival of a phenomenal new talent in American fiction.

"Acampora's stories show that an Anna Karenina principle still applies: All happy families are the same; the unhappy ones are miserable in their own special way. Or to boil it down to modern terms: mo' money, mo' problems ... Add well-drawn characters, interesting plots, cultural zingers and dead-on critiques of consumerism and Acampora delivers a page-turner."--Dallas Morning News

"A smashing debut, with range, subtlety and bite. Reading Acampora, we're in Cheever country, with hints of Flannery O'Connor."--Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com

"In 13 sharply drawn linked stories, Acampora reveals the complexities beneath the polish and privilege of a prosperous Connecticut town."--People

Terrific addition to your backpacking gear
I like this map holder for its versatility in holding different size maps. Once sealed, it was very effective at keeping moisture out and protecting the maps. I originally used this on a 13K mountain ascent. Worked great. The only thing that can be tricky at times is sealing the top. It's not as easy as sealing a typical zip-loc kitchen bag, takes some doing to get it to seal.

Best Map Case Ever!!!
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Best Map case in the market! Field tested and keeps everything dry. The size is fantastic and you can run paracord through the rings. I would recommend this to anyone that uses a map. You definitely pay for what you get and that's high quality and functionality.

Just right for protecting river trip guides
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Nice and durable - heavy duty. Getting ziplock to close is a pain though - lick or spit helps.
