The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of those books.” —R. J. Palacio\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wonder \nThis #1 New York Times bestselling coming-of-age story with millions of copies in print takes a sometimes heartbreaking\, often hysterical\, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. \nThe critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates\, family drama\, and new friends. Sex\, drugs\, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss\, young love\, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it\, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up. \nA #1 New York Times bestseller for more than a year\, adapted into a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson (and written and directed by the author)\, and an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000)\, this novel for teen readers (or wallflowers of more-advanced age) will make you laugh\, cry\, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you\, too\, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life. \nAbout the Author:\nStephen Chbosky wrote and directed the feature film adaptation of his award-winning novel\, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. He has worked in film and television\, on projects including the film version of the smash-hit musical Rent; the TV show Jericho; and others. He also edited Pieces\, a collection of short stories.

Surely such short ears spell bad luck for the community. Sheltered in her family’s burrow\, Bunns listens to the rhythm of her mother’s heartbeat—Thump\, thump\, thump—a song of home and belonging. Her father explains that unlike a rabbit’s words or thumping feet\, a heartsong cannot lie. But the unknown world of the meadow\, the sounds and smells above\, call to Bunns. When at last she’s ready to brave the staring and whispering of neighbors who fear her because she’s different\, and the disapproving elders who threaten to banish her family\, she finds a world beyond the warren where myths and riddles\, magic voyages\, and important new friends await. Can the “bad omen bunny” follow her own heartsong to a destiny—a wish—meant just for her? Academy Award–winning director\, writer\, and animator Alan Barillaro’s graceful storytelling\, warm illustrations\, and dramatic graphic panels weave light and dark into a seamless tapestry to enchant children and adults alike. \nAbout the Author: \nAlan Barillaro is the author of the acclaimed debut Where the Water Take Us and the middle grade illustrated novel\, Bunns Rabbit. The Academy Award-winning writer and director of the animated short film Piper\, he has been supervising animator on numerous popular theatrical releases\, including The Incredibles\, WALL-E\, and Brave.

SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - A Taste of Normandy Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:Normandy\, France enchants with its dramatic coastline\, rich history\, and unforgettable cuisine. The region’s culinary soul is captured in the “Four C’s”: camembert cheese\, cream\, cider\, and Calvados—each a testament to its rich agricultural heritage. Our journey to Normandy centered around the awe-inspiring Mont Saint Michel Abbey\, a Gothic Style Benedictine masterpiece perched on the tidal island of Mont Saint Michel. It is known for its historic role as a major pilgrimage site dedicated to Archangel Michael. The three days we spent immersed in this magical setting inspired an autumnal menu that celebrates Normandy’s bounty.

SUMMARY:Fair Game - Magic the Gathering - Friendly Neighborhood Draft
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Friendly Neighborhood Draft \nMagic Presents: Friendly Neighborhood Draft is a special in-store Magic event series\, running through November 13\, 2025. It spotlights the Pick-Two Draft format—a streamlined\, four-player drafting experience ideal for small groups and casual play. This event series features the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man set and is great for introducing players to the format while making drafting fast\, friendly\, and accessible. \nUnlike traditional eight-player drafts\, Pick-Two Drafts allow each player to select two cards per pick\, reducing the number of participants needed while maintaining strategic depth and fun. Games are played in pods with a minimum of four players. If more players join in the pods will be formed as follows: \n\n3–7 players: 1 pod\n8–11 players: 2 pods\n12–15 players: 3 pods\nEtc.\n\n \nPlayers then compete in a two round Swiss tournament. The undefeated (2–0) player(s) from each pod will receive the event promo card “Ultimate Green Goblin” (while supplies last). \nDon’t miss out on your chance to join us for this exciting new way to draft with friends. Reserve a seat today! \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n

One day the clearing outside the school is empty\, and the next it’s a bustling town complete with a hotel\, shop\, and mayor. Children gather and find treasures everywhere: feathers\, acorns\, lost rings\, an old medal\, and plenty of leaves and pine needles. They even uncover a silver skeleton key in the muddy banks of a nearby creek and proclaim it the heart of Leaf Town. As the town grows\, it attracts the attention of the kids up the street\, and a colossal fight threatens to destroy everything that was built. But the heart of Leaf Town is saved\, and the kids rally to rebuild their city together\, expanding to welcome the neighboring kids as well as all sorts of birds and animals. They hang a sign\, Leaf Town Forever\, and pass the key to the next generation of children who will look after their beloved town. \nBased on a true story\, Leaf Town Forever is the gentle tale of a town created by children with vivid imaginations. The timeless and universal saga\, written in haiku\, reminds both kids and adults that some dreams are worth protecting. Unfurling over the cycle of seasons\, this is the story of an enchanting place full of tenacity and hope\, creativity and fun—a connection to the natural world within reach for us all if we unite to make and maintain it. \nAbout the Author: \nKathleen Rooney is a founding editor of Rose Metal Press\, a nonprofit publisher of literary work in hybrid genres\, and a founding member of Poems While You Wait.
