The Crooked Mask
Part ghost story, part murder mystery - a creepy and magical tale steeped in Norse myth, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman.
Welcome to the Circus of Myth & Mayhem - where performers re-enact tales of the Norse gods wearing masks which mysteriously change expression, the creepy jester isn't quite human, and the big top is full of the dead.
Martha arrives at the circus, deep in the forests of Northern Norway, determined to learn how Nina died. Did she fall from the trapeze as Stig said, or was there more to her 'accident?'
Drawn into a dangerous game of the gods, Martha must look behind the mask and see the truth . . . before it's too late.
Following the events of THE TWISTED TREE, THE CROOKED MASK continues the story of Martha and Stig as she comes to terms with her magical inheritance.

Here the Whole Time
Felipe doesn't believe someone like Caio could ever fall for someone like him. But over the next fifteen days, everything will change ... If you love Rainbow Rowell and Heartstopper, you'll fall for this body-positive love story about the assumptions we make about each other, and the bravery you need to be yourself.
Felipe is fat. And he doesn't need anyone to remind him, which is, of course, what everyone does. That's why he's been waiting for summer: a break from school and the classmates who tease him incessantly. His plans include catching up on TV, finishing his TBR pile, and watching YouTube tutorials on skills he'll never actually put into practice.
But things get a little out of hand when Felipe's mom informs him that Caio, the neighbour kid from apartment 57, will be spending the next fifteen days with them while his parents are on vacation. Felipe is distraught because A) he's had a crush on Caio since, well, for ever, and B) Felipe has a list of body image insecurities and absolutely NO idea how he's going to entertain his neighbor for two full weeks.
Suddenly, the days ahead of him that once promised rest and relaxation (not to mention some epic Netflix bingeing) end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings, forcing Felipe to dive head-first into every unresolved issue he has had with himself - but maybe, just maybe, he'll manage to win over Caio, too.
A queer love story for anyone who's ever got into a pool with their shirt on.
'It's a sweet, funny, warm-hearted gem of a story - exactly the sort of thing the world needs right now!' Simon James Green

Anarchorance
Čo ak je váš nepriateľ niekto bez jasného cieľa? Nechce peniaze. Nechce moc. Nechce ani územie. Nevyjednáva, nemá požiadavky. Nikdy nevydal jediné vyhlásenie. Zabíja, ničí, koná pudovo bez stratégie a logiky. Môže ním byť v podstate ktokoľvek…
Presne v takom svete žije Shade. Nepriateľ bez tváre ho pripravil o brata a nasmeroval jeho budúcnosť nebezpečným smerom. Do jeho pokojného života zasiahne poverenie od kráľovnej, ktorá ho vyšle na miesto, odkiaľ ostatní utekajú. Je to test, snaha zbaviť sa ho alebo skutočná dôvera v jeho schopnosti?
A presne do takéhoto sveta vstúpila Lyra. Mladá žena unesená zo Zeme a hodená do budúcnosti. Tak sa cíti každý deň a jej jedinou starosťou je, ako sa spolu s ostatnými unesenými dostanú späť domov. Neznámy svet navôkol a jeho problémy ju nezaujímajú. Nepriateľ je len hrozba, o ktorej všetci hovoria, až kým sa s ním nestretne tvárou v tvár…
A nakoniec je tu Vanille, žena s dušou dievčaťa, ktorá nemala príležitosť skutočne dospieť. Na pleciach jej leží osud dvoch planét a zatiaľ čo sa ona snaží zabrániť tomu, aby rozmáhajúca sa hrozba prepukla aj na jej rodnej planéte, iní plánujú jej smrť. Keď si na stole nájde obálku s pečaťou najznámejších galaktických pirátov, nie je otázkou len to, kto v paláci je zradca, ale aj motívy ich činov.

Songs from the Deep
A girl searches for a killer on an island where deadly sirens lurk just beneath the waves in this "twisty, atmospheric story that grips readers like a siren song" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The sea holds many secrets. Moira Alexander has always been fascinated by the deadly sirens who lurk along the shores of her island town.
Even though their haunting songs can lure anyone to a swift and watery grave, she gets as close to them as she can, playing her violin on the edge of the enchanted sea. When a young boy is found dead on the beach, the islanders assume that he's one of the sirens' victims. Moira isn't so sure.
Certain that someone has framed the boy's death as a siren attack, Moira convinces her childhood friend, the lighthouse keeper Jude Osric, to help her find the real killer, rekindling their friendship in the process. With townspeople itching to hunt the sirens down, and their own secrets threatening to unravel their fragile new alliance, Moira and Jude must race against time to stop the killer before it's too late-for humans and sirens alike.

Instant Karma
In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her - both good and bad.
Chronic overachiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.
Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.
When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals-not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate... and fate.

Or so she thinks. When she's asked to steal a fork from the oldest house in her village as an 'initiation' into the club, it should have been straightforward - it's empty house and she's given the key. But Sol didn't account for Ethan Winston, who saw everything that happened in his grandparents' house and catches her red-handed.
Soon, she finds herself embroiled in a number of madcap adventures that ultimately change the course of her life forever.

Knihovníčka z Auschwitzu
V jednom z najtemnejších období v histórii ľudstva sa zrodil jedinečný príbeh mladého dievčaťa z Prahy, ktoré prejavilo obrovskú odvahu, keď sa rozhodlo vlastným životom chrániť cenné židovské knihy priamo v jednom z najbrutálnejších koncentračných táborov.
Písal sa rok 1939, keď Ditu Krausovú s rodinou zajali nacisti a uväznili ich najprv v Terezíne a neskôr v koncentračnom tábore Auschwitz. Dita sa zo všetkých síl snažila prispôsobiť svojmu novému životu v brutálnych podmienkach a dokonca aj uprostred všetkých hrôz prejavovala neskonalú ľudskú silu a húževnatosť. Aj preto ju židovský vodca Fredy Hirsch požiadal, aby u seba uschovala vzácne knižné zväzky, ktoré sa väzňom podarilo prepašovať do tábora. Dita sa tejto úlohy chopila celým svojím srdcom a stala sa tajnou knihovníčkou Auschwitzu. Dnes je len ťažko uveriteľné, že vďaka štrnásťročnému dievčaťu existovala v tábore plnom krutostí maličká tajná knižnica, ktorá obsahovala len osem zväzkov kníh. Napriek všetkému však dokázala zapáliť plameň vedomia a nádeje v dušiach tých najmenších a najzraniteľnejších – detí uväznených v Auschwitzi.
