"Sometimes even the greatest detective needs to look through the magnifying glass..." Julia is just your average middle schooler. She loves spending time with her family and friends, reading, and listening to music or podcasts. She especially loves listening to old-school Sherlock Holmes radio shows on YouTube. But Julia doesn''t feel like everyone else. Having a vision impairment sometimes makes her feel like she doesn''t fit in anywhere. She''s not totally blind, but she''s not sighted either. Her family and teachers for the blind encourage her to use adaptive devices, like a white cane, or assistive technology, like a screen reader, to help her, but Julia has no interest. She wants to be just like everyone else, specifically her older brother, John, the town hero, most popular guy in high school, mystery-solving, John. When Cooperstown, New York is hit with another major mystery, everyone turns to John and his three best friends to solve the case. As the mystery unfolds, they realize they are "looking" in all the wrong places. Will Julia rise to the challenge, accept the help she may need, and use it to bring her brother and his friends through the magnifying glass?

A great little gift for the middle-aged, featuring 50 hilarious coupons that highlight the joys (and the pains) of getting older. Commemorate the specific milestone of going over the hill with over 50 hilarious coupons in Age is Irrelevant (Until You Hit 40!). Turning the big 4-0 can be stressful, and what better stress-release than a night of guilt-free snoring? Coupons entitle the bearer to have his or her I.D. checked when buying liquor, to borrow the reading glasses of an older or less vain acquaintance, to wear comfortable shoes for one day (fashion be damned), to permanently re-calibrate his or her "target weight," and much more. The convenient size and perforated pages also enable a gift giver to bestow birthday coupons individually by tucking them into a card, purse, or briefcase. Perfect for birthdays, and a great gift for anytime anyone is dealing with the midlife milestone!

These adorable photographs nearly jump off the page as they offer birthday wishes, in their own special way.Both of these clever books will appeal to a gift-buying audience that''s hungry for a whimsical, unique way to say they care.
