Yakov and the Seven Thieves

- The English Roses is a story of rivalry and friendship
among schoolgirls in contemporary London. Four little girls-Nicole,
Amy, Charlotte, and Grace-are eleven years old and the very best of
friends. They have sleepovers, picnics and ice-skating parties that
exclude Binah, a beautiful girl whose seemingly perfect life makes
them "green with envy." However, when a feisty, pumpernickel-loving
fairy godmother takes them on a magical journey,
- they learn to their
great surprise that Binah's life is not nearly as enviable as it had
seemed. The English Roses is an inspiring story about the
importance of compassion and the rewards of friendship.

How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defi ned as
people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley
and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you
just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your
means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to
find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But,
as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy
people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of
wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley
and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work,
qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You
aren't what you drive," admonish the authors.
