Bertha Johnston's book is a teaching handbook for young children. It covers a variety of exercises designed to keep youngsters occupied as they acquire new abilities. The following project is a page and a half of using scissors. The Checker-Board is an example of the book's contents (Bristol board or stiff and smooth cardboard, smooth double-coated paper, red and black, paste, scissors, ruler). Make a 15-inch square out of cardboard. For the border, draw a line parallel to each side an inch from the edge. Cut 32 134-inch squares from each sheet of colored paper. Glue eight of them in a row, alternating colors, with just the top border line touching. Make eight similar rows, one on top of the other, and give them a total of 64 squares.

ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
