Pont így vagy jó, Pénelopé!
Nem hasonlítok senkihez, olyan kis furcsa vagyok - sóhajtott fel Pénelopé, a kis kacsacsőrű emlős. Vízlepergető bundája van, lapos a csőre és lapátszerű a farka, úszóhártya feszül karmos lábujjai között. Nem tud mézet csenni, mint egy medve, szétrágcsálni egy ágat, mint egy hód, vagy olyan kecsesen úszni, mint egy vidra. De vajon tényleg fontos, hogy pontosan olyanok legyünk, és úgy nézzünk ki, mint mindenki más? Egy mese arról, hogyan érezzük olyan jól magunkat a bőrünkben, mint Pénelopé, aki semelyik másik állathoz sem hasonlít teljesen, de sokukhoz, sok mindenben nagyon is.
Minecraft – A menedék
A széles, jeges tundrán a magány szinte túlnő a felfedező akaratán. Van itt bármi, amiért érdemes továbbmenni? Jól tettem, hogy elhagytam a szigetem biztonságát? Adjam fel, és forduljak vissza? Ezek a kérdések nem tűrnek halasztást, ám a jeges világ sem lassít hősünk kedvéért: veszélyes lények lepik el az embertelen tájat.
Acsargó farkasok elől menekülve felfedezőnk úgy érzi, nincs hová bújnia… mígnem rejtélyes alak tűnik fel a semmiből, és könnyedén megküzd az őt üldöző falkával. Nyár, a világ szabályain elmélkedő felfedezőnk gyakorlatias megmentője a túlélés mesterévé vált ezen a fagyos vidéken.
Felfedezőnk megörülve a másik embernek ebben a különös, kockákból felépülő világban, összeáll Nyárral, akinek a lenyűgöző hegyi erődje biztonságos menedéket nyújt… egyelőre. Csakhogy a csapatmunka mindkettejük számára ismeretlen, hiszen egészen eddig egyedül kellett boldogulniuk a világban. Pedig, ha haza akarnak jutni, akkor össze kell dolgozniuk, különben mindent elveszíthetnek.
Minecraft – A sziget
Miután partra sodródott, a magányos hajótörött körülnéz. Hol vagyok? Ki vagyok? És miért áll minden blokkokból? Ám nincs ideje arra, hogy a napon sütkérezzen: kezd besötétedni, és várja őt egy új, izgalmas, felfedezésre váró világ! Ami most a legfontosabb: vacsorát találni. Ami a második legfontosabb: nem valaminek a vacsorájává válni. Mert a sziget nem lakatlan. Mások is vannak itt, többek között az éjszaka közeledtével előbújó zombihorda. Ebből a káoszból kiutat találni olyan kihívás, amely semmi máshoz nem fogható. Mégis, ki tudna otthont építeni, miközben menekülnie kell a felrobbanó creeperek, a felfegyverzett csontvázak és a megállíthatatlanul hömpölygő forró láva elől? Ráadásul úgy, hogy nincs a közelben segítség, leszámítva pár összeeszkábált szerszámot és néhány bölcs tanácsot a legvalószínűtlenebb baráttól: egy tehéntől. Ebben a világban a szabályoknak nem mindig van értelmük, de a bátorság és a kreativitás meghozza az eredményét. Fedezd fel az erdőket, foszd ki a rejtett, föld alatti járatokat, győzd le az élőhalott mobokat, és ha sikerrel jársz, a sziget felfedi előtted titkait! "Nem várom, hogy elhidd, amit erről a világról írok, bár ha ezeket a szavakat olvasod, az azt jelenti, hogy már te is itt vagy. Talán már jó ideje barangolsz a világban, de a szigetet csak most fedezted fel. Vagy, ahogy nekem, úgy neked is a sziget által mutatkozott meg ez a világ. Ha egyedül vagy, zavartan és rémülten, akkor pontosan tudod, milyen volt az első napom. Ez a hely néha útvesztőnek tűnik, mintha csak kínozni akarna. Az igazság azonban az, hogy tanít, a megpróbáltatásai pedig leckék álruhában. Ezért hagytam hátra ezt a könyvet: hogy az én kalandom történetével megkönnyítsem a tiédet."

The Roads To Rome
Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed historian of Europe
'All roads lead to Rome.' It's a medieval proverb, but it's also true: today's European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to inspire our imaginations.
Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel, and routes for conquest and creativity, Catherine Fletcher shows how the roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.
Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles Dickens observed that here is 'a history in every stone that strews the ground.' Based on outstanding original research, and brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever built.
Moneta - Ancient Rome in Twelve Coins
A wild she-wolf tenderly nurses infant twins Romulus and Remus.
Marcus Junius Brutus looks out over chaos and conflict, flaunting the bloodied daggers with which he murdered Julius Caesar.
Trumpets blare, crowds roar, gladiators enter the grand Colosseum. Let the games begin.
Told through the lives of twelve remarkable coins, this is ancient Rome as you’ve never seen it before. Frescoes fade and books vanish, but the story of Rome’s epic rise and fall survives in scenes struck in gold, silver and bronze.
The Loft
An Austrian housewife sits in her loft intent on her drawings of birds and insects. Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post...
The narrator of this story spends her free time in her loft. It is a retreat where she can draw undisturbed. It is also a retreat from her dull and dissatisfied husband, a man who sighs unhappily even when she sneezes. Their grown-up children are living independent lives and the house is very quiet. Her dreams are filled with domestic drudgery.
The arrival of the parcel threatens her quiet equilibrium. It contains extracts from the narrator's diary, written twenty years before. They date back to a time when she was sent away by her husband to a remote cottage in a bid to 'cure' her from unexplained sudden deafness. More mysterious packages arrive. Who is sending them? And what did happened all those years ago in the forest?
Dogs and Monsters
The bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time weaves ancient fables into fresh, unexpected forms and forges new unforgettable legends.
The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love - and of the monstrosities of patriarchy.
The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth.
Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals.
From genetic engineering to the eternal complications of family, Haddon showcases how we are subject to the same elemental forces that obsessed the Greeks, as he reimagines stories from Laika the Soviet space dog on her fateful orbit to St Anthony wrestling with loneliness in the desert.
Downfall
In the early years of Vladmir Putin's Russia, Yevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the President's most trusted assets. By 2023, he had become a dangerous warlord - and also one of Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous political climate, exiled after leading an attempted coup, and shortly after killed in a mysterious plane crash.
But what is the truth about this enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism that Prigozhin's life forged?
In a compelling tale that unravels a complex web of power, betrayal and recrimination, Downfall delves into the profound impact of Prigozhin on the heart and soul of a nation at a crossroads. Drawing on years of research, this book traces the rise of Russia's most prominent non-state actor and examines the political climate that propelled a convicted gangster with no government office to the formidable role he came to occupy. An essential story of Russia's recent history, Downfall is also a compelling insight into its likely future.

Charlotte has swapped her grey life in London for a year in this tropical paradise. Officially, she’s there for conservation but the reality is far more complicated.

Trick Of The Mind
How does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems.
The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in.
In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, A Trick of The Mind will revolutionise the way you think.
Norse Tales: Stories of Odin and Loki on Middle Earth
The extraordinary companion title to the critically-acclaimed Norse Myths: Tales of Odin, Thor and Loki, from a Carnegie Medal-winning author.
Enter an ancient world of green glades and glaciers, where gods and goddesses spread their magic whilst rock-giants and mountain-trolls roam. This astonishing new collection of Norse tales from the award-winning Kevin Crossley-Holland - with Jeffrey Alan Love's arresting illustrations - will enthral readers of all ages.
Arabic Folktales: The Three Princes of Serendip and Other Stories
This feast of Middle Eastern folklore from an award-winning Iraqi storyteller is paired with vibrant cut-paper art.
The twenty fables and folktales in this illustrated storybook have taken a long journey. Many have roots that stretch across Europe, Asia, and Africa, but when award-winning writer and gatherer of tales Rodaan Al Galidi learned them in his homeland of Iraq, it was as Arabic folktales and as part of the Arabic storytelling tradition. When he migrated to the Netherlands, he shaped twenty of those tales into his debut book for children, which was translated to English by Laura Watkinson. Filled with wisdom about love and acceptance, and warnings against folly, these elegantly translated stories of donkeys and roosters, kings, sheikhs, and paupers are exquisitely illustrated by cut-paper artist Geertje Aalders. Beautifully packaged, Arabic Folktales is a rich and varied introduction to the world of Middle Eastern folklore.
Thank You
I thank the moon for the night time. I thank the sun for the day. I thank my boots for knowing the way…
There is so much to be thankful for! In this happy and hopeful picture book for the very young, we see the world through a child’s eyes as he thanks all of the things that give him joy – the sun, his bicycle, the jelly in his bowl, and so much more.
Jarvis creates beautiful collage art in this first book of gratitude; a book that inspires children to think about what they might like to say "thank you" to, too!

Skipshock
Set in a universe where time is a resource - coveted and exploited, the key to power and privilege - comes a dazzlingly inventive sci-fi fantasy romance by a bestselling Irish author.
"Skipshock isn't just a book. It is, literally, a new world to dive into, and one so exquisitely conjured that you feel you live there for a while. A suspenseful, romantic, charming and really unique tale." - Matt Haig
Margo is on a train to a new boarding school when she slips into another dimension, passing from the height of Irish summer into the chill of an alien winter, from a 24-hour day to one that begins and ends in just six hours. From a stranger on the train - a travelling salesman by the name of Moon - she learns that New Davia is part of a world scarred by uprisings, travel bans and world sealings. Power is determined by time - who has it, who doesn't, and who has the freedom to travel between time zones.
Can Margo find a way to get back home - or will she choose to stay in a world where her teenagehood is slipping away faster than ever before, but where she may have found the only person with whom she would choose to spend eternity?
The Night Whale
And I know then what the Night Whale is saying. I understand. "Anything is possible."
A grandmother and grandchild look out for the Night Whale, a magical sky creature last seen when Nana was a child herself. The story transports the reader off to a world of wonder and beauty, as they soar over cities and landscapes on the back of the Night Whale, far away from home and back again.
This is a beautifully lyrical and stunningly illustrated picture book about adventures and moving on, helping children to come to terms with saying goodbye, and the majestic Night Whale's reassuring message is that anything is possible.
