Twelve-year-old Meredith and ten-year-old Macy feel like the luckiest       girls around. The Ivy Hotel in Dublin is old, beautiful and       beloved, with a tight-knit staff that feel like family, and they       get to call it home.         Meredith and Macy's mum is the General Manager, and their modest       apartment is tucked away in a corner, but it has lots of perks.       The girls make friends with long-term residents - like Colin, the       quiet little boy who plays piano, and Agatha, the eccentric older       lady who stays in a plush suite with her dog, Milo.         The girls love spying on fancy events, sneaky treats from the       restaurant and knowing all the secret stairs and corridors that guests       never see, where the staff move around invisibly, making sure       everything runs like clockwork...         This is going to come in handy. Because within the cosy       walls of the Ivy Hotel, there is also danger, intrigue and threat.       Just as the hotel's new owners arrive, ready to sniff       out any excuse to make cuts and fire staff, the girls are faced       with their biggest task yet: a murder to solve.                  A welcoming and super-cosy hotel setting with a loveable cast       of characters and a dash of danger, perfect for mystery fans age       9-12.        Alternating perspectives from two brilliant sisters - responsible       and emotional Meredith and fierce, logical Macy.        Full of suspense, sleuthing and twisting discoveries, as the       kids take the lead, working to cleverly uncover the identity of a       mysterious guest and his even more mysterious death...

One of seven children, he was raised in the Irish countryside in a household ruled by his militant father and haunted by the death of his mother. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOthers think of him as a radical truth-telling pioneer who shattered Ireland's censorship culture.

It so intrigued her that she was inspired to make contact with the artist. Mollie Douthit, a North Dakotan exile, was living and working alone in a log cabin down a ravaged laneway surrounded by rugged coastline. Sara and Mollie discovered they had much in common - a dysfunctional attitude towards companionship, a devotion to the daily rituals of their respective art practices, an affinity with nature. They started to meet every month for soup and punishing swims in the Atlantic.  Sara fell under the spell of Mollie's paintings, pictures that welded memory and reality, and gradually started to write about them, curious as to whether any particular insight might be provided by the intimacy of friendship with the artist, and whether it might be possible to craft a book in the style of the paintings. But what she had not anticipated was that a settled period in her own life would coincide with a period of tumultuous change for Mollie, and soon she found herself squabbling with more complex ideas, about community and nationality, about neurosis and mysticism, about love and pain and the power of art.","brand":"Sara Baume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57044656914697,"sku":"9781803513393","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/6181\/4281\/files\/9781803513393.jpg?v=1778248004"},{"product_id":"sophies-swaps-homemade-wins","title":"Sophie's Swaps Homemade Wins: Choose Better, Spend Less \u0026 Make Healthy Eating Effortless","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“I love Sophie’s message, helping families navigate today’s food system” – Joe Wicks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“What a contribution Sophie has made to our lives” - Darina Allen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“A brilliant guide to eating more real, and less ultra-processed foods.
