Infamous Cheshire explores the darker side of this idyllic county, where murders in sleepy villages, royal scandals ancient and modern and the antics of showbiz personalities reveal that all is not as tranquil as it may seem. In his new book Bob Burrows digs deep into forgotten tales of villainy and crime, deceit and death, as well as throwing new light on more recent and well-remembered events - including the Great Train Robbery's connections with the county, Britain's biggest financial fraud, the IRA attack in Warrington, the plane that crashed in the centre of Stockport, and even the story behind one of Cheshire's roads - designated the most dangerous in Britain. Infamous Cheshire will enthral and fascinate anyone who would like to discover more about the unexpected history of Cheshire.

Connecticut Curiosities, 3rd Edition is part of a GPP homegrown series of state-specific books that describe, with humor and affection—and a healthy dose of attitude—the oddest, quirkiest, and most outlandish places, personalities, events, and phenomena found within the state’s borders and in the chronicles of its history. A fun, accessible read for travelers and non travelers alike—a great armchair book with quirky b/w photographs throughout and maps for each region. They can be thought of as combination almanacs, off-the-wall travel guides, and wacky news gazettes, all with a decidedly humorous twist. The narrative is good-naturedly humorous. Connecticut Curiosities, 3rd Edition is filled with humorous state facts and amusing stories and sports a visually varied, browsable design (with sidebars, archival photos, etc.). Part zany Connecticut guidebook and part Who's Who of odd and unsung heroes, this compendium of the state's quirks and characters will amuse Connecticut residents and visitors alike.

Mia Warner is a girl that wanted to experience normalcy. That is kind of hard when she has four older siblings and four younger ones while being the middle child of it all. Her parents told them that they are getting an award for their accomplishments for helping the community and heading toward the ceremony held in a resort called Cheshire Hills. The problem is her oldest brother's girlfriend, Amanda Jones, who is her bully. Amanda is coming, but Mia couldn't tell anyone since she knew that Amanda's family is rich. But when she came across a flier that showed a carnival, it was almost like lightning struck her as she showed it to her family, and they saw the most amazing things that made Mia's eyes widen in wonder and curiosity that she saw in her dreams. But like all dreams, some must fade away. Will she choose to follow the mysterious ringleader that leads her carnival, or will she stay with her family to face the struggles of reality?
