Breakout
Ellis Starr likes learning about active volcanos. She does not like having acne that resembles them. But it’s not just cosplaying as a pepperoni pizza that has Ellis on the verge of erupting. Her mum’s hot-and-cold moods have the two of them butting heads nonstop - especially now that her mum is dating for the first time since her parents’ separation. Then there’s Ellis’s best friend, Aggy, whose own life - and skin - seem perfect. And who could forget that Ellis still needs to decide on a research topic for a big school project. With school proving to be every bit as pesky as a new pimple, Ellis’s only bright spot is the time she spends with her aunt Lydia, whose adorable puppy, Rocco, is a natural stress reliever. (And perhaps the perfect subject for her project.) Maybe this season of breakouts can lead to a breakthrough about what Ellis needs to truly feel good in her own skin. In her newest novel, bestselling author Christina Wyman tackles a quintessential school experience - acne - with her trademark humour, honesty, and heart.

Real Wrexham
In Real Wrexham: Becoming the City local writer Sara Erddig explores the melting pot of communities, cultures and histories which make Wrexham what it is today. This place has seen a lot of change since Grahame Davies wrote the first Real Wrexham in 2007, not least the Hollywood takeover of its football club. Sara’s illustrated, offbeat guide brings the story right up to date, presenting Wrexham through her eyes. Taking in everything from its industrial past to its thriving arts scene, from Wrexham the town to Wrexham the city (as the county became in 2022), she’s out on the ground celebrating Wrexham in its city ‘era’, and as you’ve never seen it before.
Daughter of Egypt
In the 1920s, archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Nearly 3,000 years earlier, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. Her reign was bold, visionary—and nearly erased from history. When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s secret tomb, she risks everything to uncover the truth about her reign and keep valued artifacts in Egypt, their rightful home. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. Propelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes yet ultimately changed history forever.

But when Roxie goes from steady improvement to angry rebellion, Brooke realises Eddie’s reputation for training winners may come at a steep price. Brooke is finally poised to have the life she always wanted—but at what cost? Will she discover an uncomfortable truth about her idol, and what is she willing to give up in order to defend the sport she love? gainst the riveting high-stakes backdrop of the equestrian world, Reinert explores the passions that drive us, the love affairs that fuel us, and the partnerships—both animal and human—that help us thrive and find ourselves.
Not Going Back
Despite intense political debate, attitudes on abortion were remarkably stable for decades. However, after the 2022 Dobbs decision, Americans' opinions began to change. Not Going Back explores the shifts in public opinion on this hot-button issue from the landmark passing of Roe v. Wade in 1973 through the 2024 election and into 2025. The authors ask, "What role do Americans want their government to play in protecting, regulating, or restricting abortion access?" and, "How will changing attitudes on abortion reshape American politics?" They offer cohesive, theoretically grounded explanations for both the continuity and the change in Americans' attitudes on this contentious topic. Using national data, they take a deep dive into the personal experiences and social forces behind these changes. Not Going Back ends with an examination of the consequences of these changes for election outcomes. While there has been a striking reversal in the prioritization of abortion as an issue among Democrats and Republicans, the full impact of this shift in thinking will be influenced by future policies, court decisions, and party reactions.

V kališnické Mladé Boleslavi otřese poklidným ránem useknutý prst nalezený před domem bohatého kupce Pavla. Krátce nato je v městském rybníku objeveno tělo zavražděného truhláře Štěpána. Rychtář z jeho vraždy téměř bez důkazů obviní Pavla, a to jen proto, že zavražděný se kdysi ucházel o kupcovu ženu Matyldu. Matylda se poté obrací s žádostí o pomoc na krajského hejtmana Jiřího z Poděbrad, který pověří vyšetřováním rytíře Lukáše z Velyně, bývalého husitského bojovníka.

A Bletchley rejtjelek
Ne feledje, hogy köti önt a hivatali titoktartásról szóló törvény...
1940 nyara.
A tizenkilenc éves Jakob Novis és különc kishúga, Lizzie szeretik a rejtvényeket és a fejtörőket. És most ilyen megoldandó rejtélyek között élnek. Az egymással kissé hadilábon álló testvérpár a második világháború egyik legnagyobb titkának, „Nagy-Britannia különös kódfejtő gyárának” közepén találja magát, a Bletchley Parkban. Amíg Jakob csatlakozik Bletchley legnagyobb kódfejtő elméihez, hogy feltörje a náci hadsereg rejtjeleit, a tizennégy éves Lizzie saját küldetésre indul, hogy feltárja anyjuk titokzatos eltűnésének nyomait. Dúl az angliai csata, és Hitler inváziója egyre közelebb ér. Zavarba ejtő üzenetek és kódok érkeznek, és egy fenyegető felügyelő is ólálkodik a Bletchley-kastély kapuja előtt. Vajon az üzenetek valóban nekik szólnak, vagy mindez csapda? Vajon az Enigma-gép és anyjuk eltűnése összefügghet?
Jakobnak és Lizzie-nek meg kell találnia a módját, hogy együtt dolgozzanak, miközben egymással versenyezve igyekeznek megfejteni a nyomokat. És meg kell oldaniuk azt a másik megdöbbentő rejtvényt is, amely a legnagyobb kihívást jelentheti: meddig kell megőrizni egy titkot?
