If you like sassy ten year olds who hang out with ex-cons and ghosts and talk shit with the best of them, this one’s for you. Foul mouthed and full of piss and vinegar, Molly sets out to bring her dead mother’s ghost back to visit her. What ensues is a coming of age novel unlike any other. Full of slights, 1990s slang, and period teen put downs that you’d never utter now, you almost forget how far we’ve come as you guilty giggle just a bit as her naughty mouth slashes out at every part of the world.

If you’re planning your summer vacation, be sure to stop here for your travel art supplies, journals, and more. We are obsessed with travel kits to take your art with you wherever you go.

It’s that time! We have thank you cards, gift cards, books, adorable mugs and mini planters, seed packets, coloring books, art supplies and so much more. Come ask for help with great gifts to say thank you for all of the amazing work they’ve done dealing with YOUR children this year. Yes, they deserve something HUGE. Thank goodness for teachers.

If you’ve been reading the news about PFAs - a forever chemical - you know that the last thing anyone wants is to introduce more into our waterways and environment. The Lake George Association, of which Pete is currently acting Board Chair and Executive Director (long story but yes, both at the moment), has been fighting the Park Commission who wants to put a chemical in the lake called ProcellaCOR, which contains PFAs, and is not proven for use in a lake like Lake George. Please help his campaign to convince Governor Hochul to stop the use of the chemical. Spread the word, post this graphic, write to the governor here. If you’ve ever been to this Queen of lakes you know it’s worth saving every single drop.

We have been adding a bunch of books that cover a variety of neurodivergent experiences, books that encourage understanding, as well as characters as diverse as our community. Come have a browse and see if you can find yourself on our shelves.

Loved this beautiful family story. Fantastic characters, great dialogue, lovely framing of family in ALL of its forms. An adoption story at the center, but covers all aspects of what family means and what it means to be a mother, a parent, a child, and a family, whether made up of blood relations or found family all together. Come grab this great read. - Gretchen

“As a bookseller I could never keep all the great books I read. The Paris Novel will find a place on the shelf between Julia Child’s “ Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and Tamil Adler’s “The Everlasting Meal”. As I read this I wanted to cook with saffron, read James Baldwin, and wear a designer dress to an art museum. As with any good novel set in France there is lots of wine, stinky cheese, a love interest and even a rat. Bon Appetite!”
