The boys soon discover that their new apartment building, Brunhild Tower, is full of strange quirks: a mysterious Princess who warns them not to wander the building at midday, eerie sounds coming from the walls, and an elevator that’s missing a button for the thirteenth floor. Then one afternoon, that button appears, catapulting the brothers and their inquisitive new neighbor, Tamika, into a parallel dimension and a twin building stuck in time, where the spirits of all the former residents of Brunhild Tower live on, trapped by an ancient curse.

Toto - A. J. Hackwith - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay? But if it''s a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, I''ll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks. It''s not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that don''t even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and we''re off on a quest? Teenagers. I try to tell her she''s falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, I''m not one to judge when there''s the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom... Look, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, it''s going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dog''s job and get to the bottom of it. And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.

When a misdirected text from a stranger leads to a flirty exchange, she surprises herself by suggesting an impulsive meetup. But the woman, Meryl, never shows. Tressa Fay brushes it off - until Meryl''s sister and friend show up at the salon demanding to know what''s going on. Because, you see, there''s no way Meryl could have texted her. Meryl has been missing for a month. Tressa Fay and her tight-knit group of friends soon discover they aren''t dealing with a catfish, but a temporal paradox. As they come to terms with the idea of parallel universes, they realise how many times their paths have crossed like this before. But even as they understand the multiverse more and more, nothing keeps Meryl from vanishing. As it draws closer to the moment of Meryl''s disappearance, there''s only one question left: Have they done enough to change the outcome, or have they done so much that none of them will make it past that fateful day in September?

Small Giants -10th-Anniversary - - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

How maverick companies have passed up the growth treadmill - and focused on greatness instead. It''s an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside fourteen remarkable companies that have chosen to march to their own drummer. They include Anchor Brewing, the original microbrewer; CitiStorage Inc., the premier independent records-storage business; Clif Bar & Co., maker of organic energy bars and other nutrition foods; Righteous Babe Records, the record company founded by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco; Union Square Hospitality Group, the company of restaurateur Danny Meyer; and Zingerman''s Community of Businesses, including the world-famous Zingerman''s Deli of Ann Arbor. Burlingham shows how the leaders of these small giants recognized the full range of choices they had about the type of company they could create. And he shows how we can all benefit by questioning the usual definitions of business success. In his new afterward, Burlingham reflects on the similarities and learning lessons from the small giants he covers in the book. From the Hardcover edition.
