Luna the Tuna, with glasses on her nose…
It's bad enough having a weird name — now, to make matters worse, Luna has to wear glasses! But what happens if she doesn't? Find out as Luna discovers to appreciate herself and her glasses after a day of silly mishaps. Many kids have to wear glasses to see properly. For most kids, the realization that their eyesight isn’t perfect is a blow to their self-esteem—and they feel different from other kids who don’t have to wear glasses. On top of that, getting used to wearing glasses can be challenging. Glasses may feel uncomfortable at first. It may also be hard for kids to figure our how or when to use them for certain fun activities like swimming or playing softball. Even when kids choose their own glasses, the frames can still feel like a huge obstacle in their daily lives. Luna and the Big Blur acknowledges kids’ feelings of sadness, discomfort, and being different while reminding them of the importance of wearing their glasses. They’ll laugh and have fun with Luna as she sets out on her adventures. And they will learn, as Luna does, that they are very special, with or without their glasses. This updated edition has a Note to Parents by ophthalmologist David F. Plotsky, MD, filled with psychological, practical, and medical information on how to help kids cope with wearing glasses.

Long-listed for the Bath Novel Award: An estranged brother and sister reunite, stirring up dark truths about their childhood, in this brooding mystery.\nAs children, siblings Gareth and Helen went ignored and utterly unsupervised in their isolated English farmhouse while their mother obsessively tended to her beloved, exquisite garden. When they were little, Gareth would occupy himself by trapping insects under glass and Helen would find ways to entertain herself—but the older they grew, the more sinister their lives became, with no attentive parent to shield them from the predators of the world.\nDecades later, Helen is in the same crumbling house, unhappily married and looking after their bedridden mother, and Gareth finally returns home. Evidence of a long-ago crime has recently emerged, and in its wake will come a series of shattering truths . . .
