"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem" -- AbeBooks.]]></description><link>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6761758</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6761758</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[L'Engle, Madeleine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6761758156</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780312367541/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanjosepl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=123960314</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Secret of Secrets]]></title><description><![CDATA["Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon--a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship.

Losing a camper is a horrific tragedy under any circumstances, but Barbara isn't just any camper, she's the daughter of the wealthy family who owns the camp--as well as the opulent nearby estate, and most of the land in sight. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared in this region: Barbara's older brother also went missing 16 years earlier, never to be found. How could this have happened yet again? Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the community working in its shadow, Moore's multi-threaded drama brings readers into the hearts of characters whose lives are forever changed by this eventful summer: Barbara's wounded, grieving mother; the "townie" whose family makes a living off this land; the 13-year-old camper struggling to find her way; and the outsider tasked with seeing the bigger picture, and uncovering the truth."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6689673</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6689673</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moore, Liz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6689673156</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593418918/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanjosepl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ironwood]]></title><description><![CDATA["Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated--by twenty-two miles of ocean--from the troubles of Los Angeles County.

Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renee Ballard. Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagined."--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6803338</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6803338</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Connelly, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6803338156</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316595384/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanjosepl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1584404330</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The God of the Woods]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Barbara Van Laar is discovered missing from her summer camp bunk one morning in August 1975, it triggers a panicked, terrified search. Losing a camper is a horrific tragedy under any circumstances, but Barbara isn't just any camper, she's the daughter of the wealthy family who owns the camp--as well as the opulent nearby estate, and most of the land in sight. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared in this region: Barbara's older brother also went missing 16 years earlier, never to be found. How could this have happened yet again? Out of this gripping beginning, Liz Moore weaves a richly textured drama, both emotionally nuanced and propelled by a double-barreled mystery. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the community working in its shadow, Moore's multi-threaded drama brings readers into the hearts of characters whose lives are forever changed by this eventful summer: Barbara's wounded, grieving mother; the "townie" whose family makes a living off this land; the 13-year-old camper struggling to find her way; and the outsider tasked with seeing the bigger picture, and uncovering the truth."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6669568</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6669568</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moore, Liz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6669568156</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593418918/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanjosepl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1440126258</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ironwood]]></title><link>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6813129</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S156C6813129</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sjpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6813129156</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Catalina Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316595391/MC.GIF&amp;client=sanjosepl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1583999756</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ward D]]></title><description><![CDATA["Medical student Amy Brenner is spending the night on a locked psychiatric ward.
