Praise for One Good Deed

"Engaging, funny, wise, and winning, One Good Deed is a measure of humanity and of McHugh's own striving towards it."

-Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and

The Orchid Thief

"One Good Deed is original, sweet-natured and often funny… Erin McHugh makes us ordinary mortals feel like real heels."

-Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling and The Ten-Year Nap

"I loved this book. It's charming and high-spirited and then it sneaks up from behind and breaks/mends your heart!"

-Susan Cheever, writer, teacher, and author of Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography

"Erin McHugh spent one year performing one good deed a day and recording her experiences. The result, this lovely, heartfelt book, shows humanity at its very best. Sometimes her good deeds are small and go unnoticed; other times, they're quite important, and will bring a sting of tears to the reader's eyes. Perhaps McHugh will start a trend. We could certainly do with more people like her in the world."

-Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir

"In Erin McHugh's inspiring book-so gently, so directly written from her gentle, direct heart-she tells us at one point to make someone feel visible. I felt more visible myself as I read it, for she sees quite clearly what we all need-to be shown that showing kindness to others is showing kindness to ourselves."

-Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy

Poison Most Vial
英文图书 Benedict Carey
Murder in the lab! The famous forensic scientist Dr. Ramachandran is stone-cold dead, and Ruby Rose's father is the prime suspect. It's one more reason for Ruby to hate the Gardens, the funky urban neighborhood to which she has been transplanted. Wise but shy, artistic but an outsider, Ruby must marshal everything and everyone she can to help solve the mystery and prove her father didn't poison his boss. Everyone? The list isn't too long: there's T. Rex, Ruby's big, goofy but goodhearted friend; maybe those other two weird kids from class; and that mysterious old lady in the apartment upstairs, who seems to know a lot about chemistry … which could come in very wkkk.net for Poison Most Vial“Carey mixes toxic chemistry and logic problems in his second middle-grade mystery to good, if not great effect. Budding chemists and crime-scene investigators will especially enjoy this science whodunit."
