Killers of the Flower Moon: Adapted for Young Readers
This book is an essential resource for young adults to learn about the Reign of Terror against the Osage people - one of history's most ruthless and shocking crimes.
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, thanks to the oil that was discovered beneath their land. Then, one by one, the Osage began to die under mysterious circumstances, and anyone who tried to investigate met the same end.
As the death toll surpassed more than twenty-four Osage, the newly created Bureau of Investigation, which became the FBI, took up the case, one of the organization's first major homicide investigations. An undercover team infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest modern techniques of detection. Working with the Osage, they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
In this adaptation of the adult bestseller, David Grann revisits his gripping investigation into the shocking crimes against the Osage people.

Neon Moon
Apja halála után Alexander számos ingatlant örököl, mely egyikében egy meleg bár üzemel. Barátjával ellátogat a helyre, ahol rögtön kiszúrja magának Benjamint, a gyönyörű, kék szemű fiút. Benjamin párkapcsolatban él, ezért nem viszonozza Alexander érdeklődését, ráadásul egy verekedés miatt ki is dobatja a nagyképű, gazdag srácot a klubból. A váratlan közjáték szenvedélyes háborút indít a két fiú között. Alexander nem csak a klubot, de Benjamint is meg akarja szerezni magának. Az első találkozás alkalmával még egyikük sem sejti, hogy azon az estén életük legizgalmasabb kalandja kezdődött el.Előolvasói vélemények: „Szerencsésnek érzem magam, amiért kiadás előtt olvashattam a könyvet és megismerhettem az írónő által mi inspirálta őt a regény megalkotására. Érzékeny témát feszegető írás, humorral, kitűnően kidolgozott karakterekkel. Az első fejezete után az olvasó késztetést érez, hogy folytassa. Letehetetlen, felkavaró, merész és lenyűgöző.” - Julia RedHood „Rebecca Reed fantasztikus írónő. A regény izgalmas, letehetetlen, fordulatokban gazdag. Imádtam, nem bírtam letenni, annyira tudni akartam mi lesz Bennel és Alex-szel, Jacobbal és Zephel, Robinnal, Martinnal, Lucasszal. Boldog lennék, ha Ben és Alex után többiek is kapnának külön történetet.” - Kovács Ági „Pimasz, szenvedélyes és őrülten izgalmas történetbe csöppenhetünk a Neon Moon olvasása közben. Olyan élményben lehet részünk, amit nem elég csupán egyszer átélni. Az ember a rabja lesz, majd újra és újra el akar merülni ebben a világban.” - Sophie R. Ferryman „Elkezdtem olvasni és beszippantott. Megvan benne minden ami egy könyvet jó könyvvé varázsol: szerelem, féltékenység, ármánykodás, zsarolás, humor és rossz fiúk. A hab a tortán, hogy mindezt egy csapat szimpatikus, jóképű, vidám srác éli át.” - Linda Penny „Ha valaki izgalomra, erotikára, és csipetnyi humorra vágyik, az lapozzon bele Rebecca Reed könyvébe, ami garantáltan elvisz egy teljesen új világba! A regény beszippant és nem ereszt! Egy újabb letehetetlen történet, ezúttal a szivárvány színeiben!” - Eliza Strong

The Cycle Of The Red Moon 1
The fantasy trilogy that took Europe by storm! Twelve teenagers from around the world fall under the spell of a demigod and journey to a mystical realm of devastation and cruelty where they must survive until the Red Moon returns. Despite the perils, these kids do not intend to surrender--they have magic on their side, and the time has come to take initiative! But an evil older than the kingdom itself awakens among the ruins, and the Red Moon approaches... Welcome to Rocavarancolia Welcome to the Kingdom of wonder and fright, of monsters and nightmares. Welcome to the Kingdom at death's door. After a long, hard-fought war, Rocavarancolia languishes, a city in ruins. There are no more dragons in the skies; vampires are dying of thirst; and magic is no longer strong enough to hold the Kingdom together. There is a sliver of hope, however. This year, same as every year, Rocavarancolia's demiurge plans his Harvest. He travels to Earth, where he masterfully cons a group of teenagers to return with him to his world, where they are then left to fend for themselves. They are told they must survive the many dangers of Rocavarancolia until the Red Moon appears in the sky. And that, for the last thirty years, no one has ever made it that far. Why was this group chosen? What makes them special? Why are they so important? And should they survive, what will happen once the Red Moon arrives? Hector, Alex, Marina, Bruno and the others search for answers while fighting for their lives in the crumbling city. Soon they will realize they are so much more than they seem: Natalia sees hidden creatures in the shadows; Marina glimpses into the future; Bruno wields magic with astounding talent... The old inhabitants of the city watch anxiously from a distance. This Harvest is Rocavarancolia's only chance. But one by one they fall. Death awaits in every shadow and Rocavarancolia has no mercy, no place for the weak. The city is made of darkness and, slowly but surely, its nature infects the survivors. Rocavarancolia poisons them, transforms them and tears away all remnants of humanity.

Sun and Moon
A spectacular pictorial history of astronomical exploration, for anyone who has gazed at the sky and wondered what lies beyond
From the beginning of time, human beings have looked up at the stars and speculated on other worlds. Published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first moon landing, Sun and Moon tells the story of that burning human need to comprehend the universe, from Neolithic observatories that mark the solstice to the latest space telescopes. It shows, for the first time, how the development of photography and cartography - the means of documenting other worlds - is linked indelibly to the charting of the heavens, from the first image on a glass plate to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Chasing The Moon
In a world divided by the ideological struggles of the Cold War, the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, more than one-fifth of the people on the planet paused to watch the live transmission of the Apollo 11 mission. To watch as humanity took a giant leap forward.
A companion book to the landmark documentary series on BBC TV.
The journey from Cape Canaveral to the Moon was a tremendous achievement of human courage and ingenuity. It was also a long, deadly march, haunted by the possibility of catastrophic failure on the world's stage. In an era when the most advanced portable computer weighed 70 pounds, had a 36-kilobite memory and operated on less power than a 60-watt lightbulb, the sheer audacity of the goal is breath-taking. But the triumph of imagination and the unity of the Earth that day would change the world.
Based on eyewitness accounts and newly discovered archival material, Chasing the Moon reveals the unknown stories of the individuals who made the Moon landing a possibility, from inspirational science fiction writer Arthur C. Clark and controversial engineer Wernher von Braun, to pioneers like mathematician Poppy Northcutt and astronaut Edward Dwight. It vividly revisits the dawn of the Space Age, a heady time of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary impulses and personal drama.
