When Allie's class puts on a play, every girl in Room 209 wants to try out for the part of the princess — including Allie, Sophie and (ew!) Cheyenne. Not everyone can be the leading lady — but who will try to steal the show, who will get scared, and who will get a tiny bit jealous? Some not-so-friendly competition puts some of Allie Finkle's rules to the test ...There are no small parts. Only small actors. May the best man — or woman — win. If you want to get anywhere, you can't play by the rules.

Allie is excited when Erica's sister Missy enters the regional Twirltacular baton competition and Erica is allowed to bring all her best friends to watch. But Allie is also invited to Brittany Hauser's birthday party on the same day and will be driven in a stretch limo. She decides a little white lie is the best way to keep everyone happy, until...

When all issues of space, time, matter and the nature of being are resolved, only one question remains: Where shall we have dinner? «The Restaurant at the End of the Universe» provides the ultimate gastronomic experience and, for once, there is no morning after. Arthur Dent's odyssey through space continues as he takes a trip to the end of time itself in search of a decent meal, and accidentally alters the future of the entire human race.

One midsummer's day in Arden, the Godley family gather at their dying father's bedside, a collection of troubled individuals and fraying relationships. The gods, those mischievous spirits, look on silently; unable to resist intervening, they spy, tease and seduce their mortal playthings. Old Adam Godley's time on earth seems to be running out, and his mind runs to disquieting memories. Little does he realize, as he lies mute but alert in the Sky Room, what mischief the gods are capable of. Overflowing with a bawdy humor, and a deep and refreshing clarity of insight, The Infinities is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a delicately poised, infinitely wise look at the terrible and wonderful plight of being human. In electrifying prose, Banville captures the aching intensity, the magic and enchantment, of a single midsummer's day in Arden.

In 1916, a young cameraman, Ambrose March, was killed on the Western Front. His astonishing and beautiful shots of soldiers, living and dying, remain testament to his talent. Now a major Hollywood movie aims to recreate his final days, but the cast and crew are running into trouble. Rory Fermoy, leading man and Hollywood bad-boy is giving the performance of his life. Off set he's the archetypal Hollywood hell-raiser with a lifestyle that very much mirrors the destructive and restless character he is portraying. And Rory has developed a keen interest in Carey Sloan, the new girlfriend of the producer, Russian billionaire Anton Klubcic. It's well-known that Anton has his girlfriends followed by private detectives, and anyone who crosses him lives to regret it. The thought is enough to send director Hayden Bonnard into melt-down. With the help of make-up artist, Pagan Silversmith, Hayden is determined to save the film at all costs and though Pagan is tired of egocentric stars like Rory, she's willing to help. She has no idea what's she's letting herself in for.
