Book Description

She believed in angels. Soon everyone will. Is one gleamer enough to confront the Murk head-on in this third installment of the Sheena Meyer series? In The Girl Who Spoke to the Wind, Sheena fought against thoughts of fear and defeat--mind games used by the Murk to make her lose hope. She and her friends faced Luke Tobias and risked their lives to save Dingy and the missing children. But it's clear the fight against the Murk has just begun. Sheena sees the Murk everywhere; at her school dance and in her classroom. Only this time, someone else sees it too. If angels are with her, Sheena can't tell. She hasn't received a text or any form of contact from her angel. It worries her so much that she's having nightmares and believes she is no longer a gleamer. She turns to the Lumen for answers, the strange book left to her by Mr. Tobias. It's written in a language only she can decipher and unfolds a destiny she's not ready to accept. At that back are blank pages that fill as the Murk gets stronger. Sheena fears there's no hope. Can she figure out what the "Brilliant light" is that the Lumen speaks of in time to save her friends? The Girl Who Captured the Sun is the third book in the Sheena Meyer adventure series. It's a perfect fit for readers who love fast-moving page-turners with memorable characters.

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
