Lost Child: The True Story of a Girl who Couldnt Ask for Help
From Torey Hayden, the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of One Child comes Lost Girl, a poignant and deeply moving account of a lost little girl and an extraordinary educational psychologist's courage and determination. Jessie is nine years old and looks like the perfect little girl, with red hair, green eyes and a beguiling smile. She even has a talent for drawing gorgeous and intricate pictures.
But Jessie also knows how to get her own way and will lie, scream, shout and hurt to get just exactly what she wants. Her parents say they can't take her back, and her social workers struggle to deal with her destructive behaviour and wild mood swings. After her chaotic passage through numerous foster placements, Jessie has finally received a diagnosis of an attachment disorder.
Attachment disorders arise when children are deprived of the all-important close bonds with trustworthy adults that allow them to develop emotionally and thrive. Finally educational psychologist Torey Hayden is called in to help. Torey agrees to weekly meetings with Jessie to try and uncover why she is acting out.
Torey's gentle care and attention reveal shocking truths behind Jessie's lies. Can Torey and the other social workers help to provide the consistent loving care that has so far been missing in Jessie's life, or will she push them away too?

The Story of the Country House: A History of Places and People
The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors to the present
The Story of the Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century. The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored, alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic decline. We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir John Soane and A.W.N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it continues to hold such fascination for us today.

BEYOND THE STORY – A BTS tízéves története
AZ ELSŐ HIVATALOS KÖNYV --
amely a BTS tizedik születésnapjára jelenik meg, olyan történetekkel, amelyek túlmutatnak azon, ami már tudható a BTS-ről, köztük korábban nem látott fotókkal, videók QR kódjaival és minden információval az albumokról.
A BTS 2013. június 13-án kilépett a nagyvilágba, és most, 2023 júniusában a tizedik évfordulóját ünnepli. Azóta ikonikus, nemzetközi előadókká váltak és a csúcsra jutottak, ebben a jelentőségteljes pillanatban az első hivatalos könyvben visszatekintenek az idáig vezető eseményekre. Ennek során a BTS tovább táplálja a fényesebb napokhoz vezető erőt, és újabb lépést tesz meg az úton, amelyen senki más nem járt előtte.
A BTS eddigi utazásának személyes, színfalak mögötti történeteit interjúkon és Kang Myengseok - aki a több médiafelületen írt a K-popról és a koreai popkultúráról - több mint három éven át írt mélyreható riportjain keresztül meséli el. Hét - kronológiai sorrendbe rendezett - fejezetben, a BTS debütálását megelőző időktől kezdve a jelenig, a tagok friss hangja és véleménye egymással harmóniában mesél el egy őszinte, élettel teli és intenzív történetet. A kamera és külsőségek nélkül lefolytatott személyes interjúkban több szempontból mutatják be zenei útjukat és beszélnek annak jelentőségéről.
A könyvet a BTS tagjait egyenként és művészként bemutató portrék nyitják meg, és számos művészi fotó, a korábbi albumok dallistái és több mint 330 QR kód található benne. A BTS digitális előadóként az interneten keresztül kommunikált a világgal, és ez a könyv lehetővé teszi az olvasók számára, hogy azonnal hozzáférjenek az előzetesekhez, zenei videókhoz és egyéb online tartalmakhoz, amelyek elmélyítik a BTS-sztori kulcsmomentumainak megértését. A főbb mérföldköveket tartalmazó idővonallal kiegészülve a BEYOND THE STORY lenyűgöző archívum -- valóban mindent tartalmaz a BTS-ről, egyetlen kötetben.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.

But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
The Story of Tracy Beaker
Introducing Tracy Beaker, 10-year-old girl-wonder and the daughter of a famous Hollywood actress . . . sort of. Tracy Beaker’s not exactly sure what her mother does, because Tracy has been in foster care for as long as she can remember. She has a picture of her mother, who’s pretty enough to be in movies, so maybe she is. And maybe one day Tracy’s mother will show up and reclaim her long-lost daughter, and together they’ll have fabulous adventures. Then again, maybe she won’t. In the meantime, Tracy’s doing everything she can to take care of herself–even though she has to share her birthday cake with silly Petey Ingham just because they have the same birthday . . . and even though the other girls she lives with are mean and nasty and rude and horrible. Mostly. Then a journalist shows up to write a story about their orphanage, and she and Tracy strike up a special friendship. In a story written with humor and sensitivity, Tracy emerges as a spirited girl who’s not quite as tough as she lets everybody think she is.From the Hardcover edition.

The Pit: A Story of Chicago
Norris described The Pit as a fictitious narrative of a "deal" in the Chicago wheat pit, which is the nickname of the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, where commodities are traded like stocks and bonds. One man tries to corner the market on wheat to make a fortune. More than a business story, the novel deals with love and the lack of love in a relationship, selfishness, power, greed, the financial power of men and lack of their power to control events that are shaped by nature. Quote:“Think of it, the food of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people just at the mercy of a few men down there on the Board of Trade. They make the price. They say just how much the peasant shall pay for his loaf of bread. If he can’t pay the price, he simply starves.”These poor people’s lives are completely out of their hands. In contrast, Norris suggests that ultimately the men down in the Pit don’t have power over them either, nor over their own lives, because above all, nature rules.

The Story Of The Lost Child
Soon to be an HBO series, book four in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) Here is the dazzling saga of two women, the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila. In this book, life's great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women's friendship, examined in its every detail over the course of four books, remains the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. But now, she has returned to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from Naples. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Yet somehow this proximity to a world she has always rejected only brings her role as unacknowledged leader of that world into relief. Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.
