The Nowhere Girls - A Senkise-lányok
„– Mi lenne, ha nem a saját nevünkben írnánk? – kérdezi.
– Hanem senkiében? Vagy mindenkiében? – teszi hozzá rövid hallgatás után."
Hogy kik a Senkise-lányok?
Akárkik lehetnének. De kezdetben csak hárman vannak:
Grace Salter nemrég érkezett a városba, mert a családját elűzték az otthonából, miután prédikátor anyja egy lovasbalesetet követően radikálisan megváltoztatta a nézeteit.
Rosina Suarez, a fura punk lány, konzervatív mexikói bevándorló család sarja, aki szívesebben választaná a zenei karriert ahelyett, hogy az unokatestvéreit pátyolgatja és a nagybátyja éttermében pincérnősködik.
Az aspergeres Erin Delillo kizárólag két dologért lelkesedik: a tengerbiológiáért és a Star Trek: Az új nemzedékért, ám még ezek sem képesek megingatni abban a hitében, hogy ő tulajdonképpen android.
Amikor Grace megtudja, hogy Lucy Moynihan, az új otthona előző lakója azért menekült el a városból, mert csoportos nemi erőszakkal vádolta meg a suli legmenőbb arcait, felbőszíti a helyzet igazságtalansága. Személyes okokból Rosinát és Erint is mélyen érinti Lucy tragédiája, ezért a három lány anonim csoportot hoz létre a prescotti gimiben, hogy fellépjen az iskolában uralkodó szexista felfogás ellen.
Ez a változatos nézőpontokból előadott, úttörő szemléletű regény vádirat a nemi erőszak kultúrája ellen, és merész őszinteséggel boncolgatja a tinilányok szexualitását érintő kényes kérdéseket.
Tudd meg, mi fáj, és légy felvértezve!

Mice in the City: Around the World
Follow Stanley the mouse, a banjo-playing busker from London, on his very first trip around the world. Stanley joins Mrs. Crosbie on her majestic airship, a beautiful hot air balloon that offers travelers unparalleled views.
Together they visit fifteen far-flung locations, including Paris, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Beijing, Namibia's Etosha National Park, Moscow, Tokyo, Rome, Delhi, Germany's Black Forest, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Seoul, and Barcelona, before returning home--although not without plenty of excitement!Stanley almost doesn't make it past his first destination thanks to overindulging on delicious cheeses in Paris; he loses his hat in a breeze above the Great Wall of China; in Moscow, Stanley and Mrs. Crosbie discover they have a secret stowaway in the form of a fat black-and-white cat; and quite unintentionally, Stanley causes a stampede of elephants in Delhi. These and many more adventures await in this global addition to the Mice in the City series, which celebrates the culture of each destination through foods, festivals, and dress.
The illustrations teem with surprises and the book invites children to play "hide-and-squeak," searching each page for familiar characters.

93 til: A Photographic Journey Through Skateboarding in the 1990s
With this year’s 2021 Summer Olympics hosted in Tokyo, Japan, skateboarding will make its Olympic debut; augmenting both park and street competitions for men and women. As this book is a culmination and photographic collection of the past three decade’s growth of skateboarding throughout the US focusing in on the pivotal decade of the 1990s, the addition of this sport in the summer’s upcoming games is of considerable relevance to the skateboarding pioneers featured in this work.
To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in ’93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a rare luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the ’90s were the golden years of skateboarding.
’93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for ’93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late ’80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists.
Also included in the book alongside Pete’s imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others. Although still a working photographer, Pete moved on from his career in skate photography in 2004 and is currently living in Brooklyn.

Discover the secret lives of more than 30 extraordinary creatures that share our cities. From red foxes sneaking rides on London buses to leopards prowling the backstreets of Mumbai, this book explores the clever ways animals have adapted to the urban environment and explains how you can help protect our wild neighbours.
Crammed with buildings, traffic and people, urban spaces are the last place you'd expect to see wildlife. But all kinds of animals live alongside us in the hidden corners of our towns and cities - from teeny ants living under pavement cracks to pick-pocketing monkeys and spotted hyenas being fed by locals.
Within these pages, you'll travel from city to city, across six different continents, meeting just some of these amazing animals. There are tips on where and when you might see them, what signs to look for and how you can help make our cities more nature-friendly places. You'll also see the conservation status of each animal, from those of least concern to species which are endangered.

The Woman in the Wood
Fifteen-year-old twins Maisy and Duncan Mitcham have always had each other. Until the fateful day in the wood . . .
One night in 1960, the twins awake to find their father pulling their screaming mother from the house. She is to be committed to an asylum.
It is, so their father insists, for her own good. It's not long before they, too, are removed from their London home and sent to Nightingales - a large house deep in the New Forest countryside - to be watched over by their cold-hearted grandmother, Mrs Mitcham. Though they feel abandoned and unloved, at least here they have something they never had before - freedom.
The twins are left to their own devices, to explore, find new friends and first romances. That is until the day that Duncan doesn't come back for dinner. Nor does he return the next day.
Or the one after that. When the bodies of other young boys are discovered in the surrounding area the police appear to give up hope of finding Duncan alive. With Mrs Mitcham showing little interest in her grandson's disappearance, it is up to Maisy to discover the truth.
And she knows just where to start. The woman who lives alone in the wood about whom so many rumours abound. A woman named Grace Deville.
The Woman in the Wood is a powerful, passionate and sinister tale of a young woman's courage, friendship and determination from one of the world's favourite storytellers.Praise for Lesley Pearse'Heart-warming and evocative, a real delight to read' Sun'A narrative that gallops along, this is quintessential Pearse that will delight her army of readers' Daily Mail 'Glorious, heartwarming' Woman & Home'Evocative, compelling, told from the heart' Sunday Express

The Dark Calling - Szólít a Sötét (Az Arkánum Krónikák 5.)
Ha a világ késélen táncol...
Evie képtelen elhinni az életét - és a játszmát - gyökerestül felforgató hírt. Miért nem érez változást? Talán rossz emberbe vetette a bizalmát?
Ha mindenhol ellenség vár...
Forrnak az indulatok az időtlenség kastélyában, ahogy Evie kételkedni kezd a saját ép elméjében. A válaszokat a menedéken túli világ rejti, de vajon segít-e neki a halál a keresésben - vagy elejét veszi, hogy kiderítse az igazságot a jövőjéről és Jack sorsáról?
Szólít a sötét.
Rejtélyes, baljós erő zökkenti ki az útjába kerülő Arkánumokat. Evie kénytelen egymaga nekivágni a pusztaságnak, ahol csak váratlan szövetségeseire számíthat. De közeledik a Richter elleni mindent eldöntő csata...
Mindez és még több a vérpezsdítő Arkánum Krónikák-sorozat utolsó előtti kötetében, a New York Times-sikerlistás Kresley Cole tollából!
Tudd meg, hogy az újdonsült szövetség vajon képes-e ellenállni a sötét igéjének, mielőttaz egész föld elkárhozik!
The Emperor of Evening Stars - Az esti csillagok császára
Kezdetben vala a sötétség.
Mielőtt találkozott Callie-vel, mielőtt Alkusz vált volna belőle, ő volt Desmond Flynn, egy írnok fattyú fia. Aki puhány anyától született, varázstalanságra volt kárhoztatva, és arra rendeltetett, hogy rabszolgával házasodjon.
De a sorsnak más elképzelései voltak.
A sötétség végezetéig.
Arestys kopár barlangjaitól Somnia palotáján át a földi utcákig: így vált Desmond Flynnből, a tündérből, aki a semmiből indult, az Esti csillagok Császára.
