Cecelia prides herself on being the lookout in the woods behind her Texas home. After all, a person as skinny and gullible as Redbud, the new kid at school, needs someone to watch over him. Besides, with Pop spending all his time in the garden, Sis off with her boyfriend, and Cecelia's mom dead and gone, it's not like Cecelia has anything else to do.
When Redbud trusts her enough to show her where he lives and introduces her to his father, the rigid sergeant major, Cecelia doesn't know what to think. Maybe Redbud just needs more discipline, like the sergeant major says. Or maybe she isn't the lookout, the scout, that she thought she was.

A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me by Jon Katz, ISBN 0375502971

"Change loves me, defines and stalks me like a laser-guided smart bomb. It comes at me in all forms, suddenly and with enormous impact, from making shifts in work to having and raising a kid to buying a cabin on a distant mountaintop. Sometimes, change comes on four legs."
In his popular and widely praised Running to the Mountain, Jon Katz wrote of the strength and support he found in the massive forms of his two yellow Labrador retrievers, Julius and Stanley. When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who'd read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was meant for him--a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full canine complement, but instinct overruled reason, and soon thereafter he brought Devon home.

Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century

During the reings of Louis XV (1723-74) and Louis XVI (1774-92), fashion and furniture were not meant simply to be beautiful but were also intended to arouse, attract, and seduce. Published in response to the critically acclaimed and hugely popular exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum in the fall of 2004, "Dangerous Liaisons Will focus on fashion and its interplay with the art, furniture, and decorative arts of eighteenth-century France. Featuring beautiful color photographs of the exhibition's installation, details of the garments, and supplementary historical material, the book demonstrates how the extravagant clothing of the period reiterated the splendor of Rococo and Neoclassical interiors. Either as as souvenir of the Museum's exhibition or as a fascinating survey of eighteenth-century French fashion, decorative arts, history, and culture, "Dangerous Haisons is an essential book to own.
