"Great psychological suspense with a wallop of a twist." --Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub makes her trade paperback debut with a fast-paced thriller in the vein of Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs and Megan Collins' The Winter Sister. Here, a family making a fresh start moves into a house which was the site of an unsolved triple homicide--and are watched by an unknown person...
The watcher sees who you are...and knows what you did.
It's the perfect home for the perfect family: pretty Nora Howell, her handsome husband, their two teenage daughters, and lovable dog. As California transplants making a fresh start in Brooklyn, they expected to live in a shoebox, but the brownstone has a huge kitchen, lots of light, and a backyard. The catch: its previous residents were victims of a grisly triple homicide that remains unsolved.
Soon, peculiar things begin happening. The pug is nosing around like a bloodhound. Nora unearths a long-hidden rusty box in the flowerbed. Oldest daughter Stacey, obsessed with the family murdered in their house, pokes into the bloody past and becomes convinced that a stranger is watching the house. Watching them.
She's right. But one of the Howells will recognize his face. Because one of them has a secret that will blindside the others with a truth that lies shockingly close to home--and to this one's terrifying history.
This is another good book in the Este No Es Mi... series. This one focuses on trucks. A mouse looks at a series of trucks, looking for the one that is his. One each page, a truck is shown and an explanation of why that truck isn't the one he's looking for. There is a fun touch and feel on every truck and the book helps build vocabulary on truck parts. An enjoyable, interactive book for young children.

Since she was 9 months old, my daughter has loved this series of books. Last week she actually turned to the "That's not my truck, it's too shiny" page and said "Too Siny!" She is only 16 months and I was pretty impressed. My only recommendation is that after reading 4-5 of them, they start to get repetitive in their descriptions, but we have the bunny, dragon, teddy, and truck and they are favorites.

This book (and others in the same series) is terrific for introducing your little one to descriptive words. With different textures to explore on each page and an adjective to tell about it, the little mouse hunts for his own truck and finally discovers it at the end. This sturdy board book incorporates an educational spin on the plain old truck! Perfect for your little explorer - especially if you have a little boy who love...

My daughter was given "That's Not My Truck" for her first birthday nearly a year ago and she loves it. Reading it, feeling the textures and playing "Where's the mouse?". The textures are high quality and relevant to the story. We got "That's Not My Dinosaur" out of the library and the textures were less realistic - some trucks do have squashy shiny plastic sides, I don't think dinosaurs did. It has survived a rough and...
