Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a new side of Paris, hidden in plain sight, with this beautifully illustrated guide to the city's smaller collections and best-kept secrets, from artists' studios to scientific museums. A visit to Paris can often seem like a highlight reel -- the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower. But Paris isn't only about the big attractions; in fact, some might say it's the offbeat destinations that hold the greatest treasures. The Little(r) Museums of Paris takes a whimsical journey through these smaller destinations, from the fantastical to the bizarre, offering both a guide to the city and inspiration for armchair travelers. Rather than traveling by neighborhood, this charming guide explores the different types of institutions nestled within Paris, from time capsules like the Musee Nissim de Camondo to explorations of the world beyond the city limits, including the Institute of the Arab World. Readers will peek behind the curtains of artists' apartments and into the microscopes of collections of scientific oddities. Each entry opens up a new world of adventure, with a description of the museum's collection, as well as a short history, watercolor illustrations, and a miniature map. For residents and visitors alike, the captivating illustrations and deeply-researched yet approachable writing will encourage greater appreciation of the cultural diversity, history, and colorful characters that give Paris that je ne sais quoi.

Every day at school, she gets teased and bullied by a gang of five boys because of her shaggy appearance. She lives with her older brother and his unpleasant fianc, as their parents had died in a plane accident years ago. During a Christmas holiday, her and her brother go with some friends and drive across the country until they reach the coast and board on a ferry that takes them to an unknown island. They do all sorts of fun activities and adventures. Unfortunately, this girl is always on the edge to trouble and she gets hurt a lot. But one day on the beach of this island, she dug up a strange piece of jewellery, which happened to be a very old ring. Later that night, she was curious to see how this ring would look on her finger, only to be struck with an excruciating burning in her hand when she slipped it on.

After going back home, she started experiencing strange changes in her body, appearances and mind.
