Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor
Dexter Procter, the world's youngest-ever doctor, is back for a follow-up medical mystery!All is not well in Dexter's world. His granny has broken her leg, his friends Rupi and Otto have been expelled from school, there's a strange asthma epidemic he can't get on top of, and slimy politician Barbara Burnhall is trying to shut down everything fun at the hospital. And then his boss, Dr Marigold, goes missing! What Dexter doesn't realize is that he and his friends are about to uncover a dastardly plot involving kidnappings, earthquakes and a demolition ball. He doesn't know what's about to hit him... (Spoiler alert: it's a demolition ball.)Adam Kay and Henry Paker have created a second Dexter Procter mystery that is funnier and even more disgusting than the No. 1 bestselling Dexter Procter the 10-Year-Old Doctor. (And that was pretty disgusting.)Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor is soon to be a major BBC show.

Maybe I'm Amazed
?A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK?'BRILLIANT' ADRIAN CHILES'THIS BOOK CONTAINS MAGIC' CAITLIN MORAN'ENTRANCING, HEARTBREAKING, UPLIFTING' MARINA HYDEIn this extraordinary memoir, a father tells the story of how music has opened up the world to his son, one song at a time. Obsessed with music since he was a child, John Harris had no idea that he was in fact preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. But so it transpired. When his son James was born, and three years later diagnosed with autism, music became a source of precious connection and endless wonder for both of them. Maybe I'm Amazed describes how the music of The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse and many more were soon woven into the fabric of James's life, becoming an essential part of who he is. It takes us through the struggles of raising an autistic child in a prejudiced world, and uncovers a hidden history of neurodivergence and creativity that casts new light on why notes, chords and lyrics speak so powerfully to the human mind. Anyone who has fallen in love with a band or heard their life reflected back to them by a song will recognise themselves in the story of this father and his son. And in considering the intense and transcendent way James absorbs and connects with music, it has lessons in listening and living for us all.
Runaway Joe
AN INVESTIGATION INTO ONE OF THE OLDEST UNSOLVED CASES ON THE FBI'S BOOKS, SPANNING SIX DECADES AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 1967. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. At his son's fifth birthday party, Joseph Maloney was alleged to have poisoned his wife. While awaiting trial in the psychiatric wing of a Rochester hospital, he escaped and vanished. Years later, a charming stranger calling himself Michael O'Shea surfaced in Dublin. Claiming roots in the west of Ireland, he married a local woman and sold his garage business to buy a grand country estate. For years he lived as a country gentleman and worked at the pinnacle of Ireland's film industry - until a US extradition treaty exposed his true identity. Arrested in 1985, Maloney escaped justice again when his trial collapsed on a technicality. He fled Ireland, leaving US and Irish investigators clueless as to his whereabouts - until an RTÉ Documentary on One podcast picked up his trail decades later. Runaway Joe is the story of a man who reinvented himself with chilling ease - a portrait of a remorseless manipulator whose acts left devastation across continents.

The Rose
The award-winning poet reckons with feminine archetypes, erotic love, and the shifting boundary between power and surrender
Fury is very lustful
A body concealing its heart's desire
Has a certain texture
A tang or an edge if you will
That the openhearted cannot match
& when exactly does the deceitful
Heart open? At climax.
-from 'The Hanged Man'
The Rose navigates the intersection of power and surrender. Drawing on the history of 'romance' as the troubadours knew it, and the titular flower's ancient allegories for sexuality and mystery, award-winning poet Ariana Reines plunges into feminine archetypes to explore masculine pain: 'I have always liked helpless / & terrible men because they break my mind.' In these poems, inherited ideologies of gender performance are replaced with bold vulnerability: paradoxes of power and surrender transmute the speaker's understanding of suffering, desire, and the soul.
The voice in The Rose is wry and bare, approaching the connection between erotic love and spirituality with humour. Investigating war, maternity, violent sensuality, and the role of language in magical acts, Reines is unafraid to uncover the 'secret / & terrible shovelings / Of love,' and the result is a bloody and pulsing, sexy and unabashed bloom.
King Kong
The 2005 book King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson covered the six King Kong movies that had been produced up at that time: King Kong (1933), The Son of Kong (1933), King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962), King Kong Escapes (1967), King Kong (1976), and King Kong Lives (1986), providing in-depth chapters chronicling the conception, production, release, and legacy of each film.The book also contained chapters on other Kong-related projects, as well as a brief preview of Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong remake, which had not yet opened at the time of the book’s publication and so could not be examined in depth. Since the book’s publication, Jackson’s film was released and two additional Kong films have been produced: 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and 2021’s Godzilla Vs. Kong. There has also been a major Broadway musical version of the story, two new animated series, and a number of novels, comic books, and graphic novels. There is also a new film on the way: Godzilla Vs. Kong 2, which is currently slated for release in 2025.With so much new Kong material to cover and a new Kong film on the way, this expanded and updated version of the book is the most complete, thorough, and comprehensive history of the cinematic King Kong possible.
Children of Abraham
Muslims and Jews have engaged one another -sometimes for better, sometimes for worse - for over 1,400 years. Yet recent discourse tends to focus on only the most antagonistic aspects of the two communities''interactions. Marc David Baerpaints a more nuanced picture of Muslim-Jewish relations, from Muhammad''s first interactions with Jewish Arabs in the seventh century and their shared struggles after the Spanish Reconquista to the ongoing modern conflict in the Middle East. Free from the myths and counter-myths of earlier accounts, this is a timely and indispensable new analysis of two communities, often existing side by side, whose relations will continue to shape global politics for decades to come.
The Heir and the Spare
Once, I’d spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. As one of the infants taken from Alfheimr, I spent twelve lifetimes hidden away in the tunnels of the Resistance with a Lunar Witch to watch over me. I knew the truth of my existence and when the Veil fell, my discovery became inevitable. Then, the Fae had come to bring me home to the land of Faerie. When the God of the Dead brought his human mate back to the tunnels after revealing the truth of his identity, he did so with the intent to return me to Mab. The Queen of Air and Darkness has waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone, and she had sent her favorite weapon to do it. But I never expected to love Estrella the way I did, to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes apart. Now, they’ve bound me to a man I never asked for—a husband I didn’t want. Mab sees love as a weakness, and uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired. I see this marriage as a cage, as a means of control that goes against everything within me. But when Mab kills the Summer King and sends Estrella into Tartarus, Etan leaves me no choice but to flee Tar Mesa and journey to the Summer Court to take the throne at his side. No matter what I leave behind.

Visszatérés
Ez a csodálatos könyv a veszteségről, az újrakezdésről és az önmagunk felé vezető útról szól, arról, hogy a gyógyulás gyakran akkor kezdődik, amikor végre hagyjuk, hogy mások is belépjenek a világunkba.
A húszéves Ambre szerelmes, Philippe viszont házas, és csupán szeretőt keres. A lányt egy év után felemészti az érzelmileg egyre megterhelőbb, egyre kilátástalanabbá váló kapcsolat, és öngyilkosságot kísérel meg. Túléli, de az igazi gyógyulás reménytelenül távolinak tűnik. Ha nem is könnyen, Ambre elfogadja a Philippe által tulajdonképpen mindkettejük számára menekülőutat jelentő megoldást, és a téli szezonra elszegődik felszolgálónak egy eldugott, alpokbeli panzióba.
A gyönyörű táj, a munkatársak, az új barátok támogatása lassan megmozdít benne valamit. Fokozatosan ráébred, hogy az életben nem csupán romboló kapcsolatok létezhetnek, mert vannak emberek, akik bár maguk is gondokkal, traumákkal küzdenek, tudnak és akarnak is segíteni, és hogy vannak még olyanok, akik előtt nem szégyen gyengének, kétségbeesettnek mutatkoznia, mert ők is vállalják a maguk esendőségét.
Tim, Rosalie, Andréa, Wilson és a többiek, bár a véletlen szeszélye sodorta őket össze Arvieux-ben, fél év múltán már igazi közösségként fogják elbúcsúztatni a téli szezont, Ambre pedig megerősödve kerül ki a kegyetlen erőpróbából: ismét készen áll arra, hogy nyitott szívvel és lélekkel fogadja be a világot, az embereket.
