The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud tells the haunting story of a young man who narrowly survives a terrible car wreck that kills his little brother. Years later, the brothers’ bond remains so strong that it transcends the normal boundaries separating life and death. Charlie St. Cloud lives in a snug New England fishing village. By day he tends the lawns and monuments of the ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried. Graced with an extraordinary gift after surviving the accident, he can still see, talk, and even play catch with Sam’s spirit. But townsfolk whisper that Charlie has never recovered from his loss. Into his carefully ordered life comes Tess Carroll, a captivating, adventuresome woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that blows her back to harbor, to a charged encounter with Charlie, and to a surprise more overwhelming than the violent sea itself. Charlie and Tess discover a beautiful and uncommon connection that leads to a race against time and a desperate choice between death and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and letting go. Luminous, soulful, and filled with unforgettable characters, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is one of those rare, wise books that reveal the mysteries of the unseen world around us, gently transforming the worst pain of loss into hope, healing, and even laughter. Suspenseful and deeply moving, its startling climax reminds us that sometimes tragedies can bring about miracles if we simply open our hearts.

The Newberry Medalist brings humor and heart to this story of a Civil War–era boy struggling to do right in the face of history’s cruelest evils. Twelve-year-old Charlie is down on his luck: His sharecropper father just died, and Cap’n Buck—the most fearsome man in Possum Moan, South Carolina—has come to collect a debt. Fearing for his life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap’n Buck and agrees to track down some folks accused of stealing from the cap’n and his boss. It’s not too bad of a bargain for Charlie . . . until he comes face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers their true identities. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move—and soon. It’s only a matter of time before Cap’n Buck catches on. Praise for The Journey of Little Charlie A National Book Award Finalist “This is a compelling and ugly story for middle-grade readers told with genuine care. Little Charlie is a product of his Southern upbringing, yet in Curtis’s skillful hands he learns the world is not as he’d thought . . . Christopher Paul Curtis does it again.” —Historical Novel Society “A characteristically lively and complex addition to the historical fiction of the era from Curtis.” —Kirkus Reviews

Charlie's Thinking Cheese is so much more than an inspirational story or a motivational novella. It is an optimistic, encouraging and uplifting package that creates immediate and positive life-changing experiences. It is a lifestyle kit that encourages generosity, community and hope. It is a reminder to see the possible in the impossible, believe in the unbelievable and to look for opportunity in every disappointment. An entertaining read for all ages, Charlie's story reminds us all that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big and lasting impact.Alongside Charlie's Thinking Cheese are Charlie's Inspiration Cards, daring suggestions to expand horizons, question limitations and try things you perhaps never would have tried before. They offer courage, insight and inspiration into the magic of everyday life.Also in the box are Charlie's Appreciation Cards and Charlie Notes, two unique and special ways to spread appreciation. The Cards, like mini-greeting cards, offer a blank inside to write a message and a matching envelope to write a name to make it as personal as possible. The Notes are appreciation-on-the-sly, to be slipped into a purse or desk drawer anonymously. Either way, both offer heartfelt words and sayings written with true, honest appreciation for friends and loved ones in mind.For Charlie on-the-go, enclosed are Charlie's Pocket Cheese and Charlie's Pure and Simple Recipes. Both fit easily into a pocket or a purse, roughly the size of a business card, but they each have something big and special to offer. Charlie's Pocket Cheese includes messages, principals and lessons from Charlie's Thinking Cheese while Charlie's Pure and Simple Recipes are for the market trips when hunger for nourishing, fresh food strikes. Both are quick, little Charlie-sized pick-me-ups.On a playful note, there's a "Charlie ate it ..." magnet for the fridge to alleviate the guilt of eating that last piece of yummy goodness! And Charlie's stickers are fun and simple ways to say 'Thanks!' for the food we just love to eat.The Charlie's Thinking Cheese set is interactive and participatory to inspire positive action in people's lives, whether through appreciating others more often, seeking inspiration daily, or finally beginning that herb garden.
