NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - WINNER OF THE AGATHA AWARD FOR BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR BY THE SEATTLE TIMESLaurie R. King's novels of suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, are critically acclaimed and beloved by readers for the author's adept interplay of history and adventure. Now the intrepid duo is finally trying to take a little time for themselves--only to be swept up in a baffling case that will lead them from the idyllic panoramas of Japan to the depths of Oxford's most revered institution. After a lengthy case that had the couple traipsing all over India, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are on their way to California to deal with some family business that Russell has been neglecting for far too long. Along the way, they plan to break up the long voyage with a sojourn in southern Japan. The cruising steamer Thomas Carlyle is leaving Bombay, bound for Kobe. Though they're not the vacationing types, Russell is looking forward to a change of focus--not to mention a chance to travel to a location Holmes has not visited before. The idea of the pair being on equal footing is enticing to a woman who often must race to catch up with her older, highly skilled husband. Aboard the ship, intrigue stirs almost immediately. Holmes recognizes the famous clubman the Earl of Darley, whom he suspects of being an occasional blackmailer: not an unlikely career choice for a man richer in social connections than in pounds sterling. And then there's the lithe, surprisingly fluent young Japanese woman who befriends Russell and quotes haiku. She agrees to tutor the couple in Japanese language and customs, but Russell can't shake the feeling that Haruki Sato is not who she claims to be. Once in Japan, Russell's suspicions are confirmed in a most surprising way. From the glorious city of Tokyo to the cavernous library at Oxford, Russell and Holmes race to solve a mystery involving international extortion, espionage, and the shocking secrets that, if revealed, could spark revolution--and topple an empire. Praise for Dreaming Spies " Holmes and Russell's] unusual partnership is, as always, a delight to observe, and King expertly combines rich historical detail, deftly drawn characters and taut suspense. For Holmes fans, mystery lovers and those interested in either Japan or Oxford, this novel is a multilayered and entirely enjoyable journey."--Shelf Awareness "Compulsively readable . . . Through astute, precise, and elegant writing, great attention to time and place, and beautifully realized characters, King has created a mystery series that is at once intelligent, reflective, and action filled."--Library Journal "A story that keeps the reader enthralled . . . one of the most consistently outstanding mystery series out there. Any time spent with the Russell-Holmes duo is a delight."--Booklist "Snappy prose and a captivating plot distinguish King's fourteenth novel featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes. . . . Many will find the character deepened by his partnership with the spirited and clever Russell."--Publishers Weekly "The author continues to offer up incredible plotlines. . . . Holmes and Russell's] emotional bond only adds to the magic, suspense, and beauty of the original creation. King's imagination continues to shine "--Suspense Magazine " King] manages more surprises than usual in this graceful exercise in cultural tourism-cum-intrigue."--Kirkus Reviews

Relatable at any age
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my nephew but read it myself and found the reminders good for my adult soul, and I like the soft, tasteful illustrations. This is a sweet book made extra special with the fact the author wrote it in conjunction with her younger son.

A Must Read!
Format: Hardcover
Highly recommend Any Day Emotions! Debra Fileta uses creative similes to explain our emotions to the littles. She goes beyond just the basic happy and sad emotions you typically hear about in children’s books to the less talked about emotions such as jealousy and guilt. With each emotion she gives a practical, kid friendly step to live an emotionally healthy life. Any Day Emotions is a fun book to teach your littles about emotions in a way that points them back to their Creator. The beautiful illustrations are the perfect touch to tie it all together!

A good and easy “self-help” book for parents to “help” their child with their emotions! LOVE IT!
Format: Hardcover
Wow! I love that this book was written by a licensed professional counselor! I love that I’m familiar with this author’s other books which I own and have read. I love that this book addresses so many emotions a child will have! My favorite is “Jealous” because she perfectly depicts a birthday party and we all know that siblings can easily become jealous over all the attention, the gifts, the cake…
The pictures pair beautifully with the words/emotions. I love this illustrator, she is amazing and gifted! You are easily drawn in by the details and colors in each picture! It really gives my child lots of images and things to look at and relate to as you read to them.
I also love the emotion “Peaceful” because when you look at the illustrations of the water and floating on a tube while your hand is resting in the water and you are gently kicking your feet, that looks and feels peaceful and I know my child can relate to that.
This is a very easy to understand book. I loved that each emotion was on two pages and you didn’t need to turn the page, it was all there for you to process and read. The entire explanation of the emotion was a simple way for my child to grasp the concept and give simple choices on how to deal with the emotion. For me including God in the equation was awesome and important and that was also simple and easy to understand.

I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the book does such a great job helping kids understand their feelings and how to handle them. It’s been so helpful for talking with my kids about their emotions in a simple, meaningful way. I also love how the author brings God into it—it’s such a sweet reminder that He cares about every feeling we have. Highly recommend for any parent!
