Endgame
Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury delivers a hair-raising thriller as Ruby, Freya and Ivy team up to take down the Ash Tree Foundation once and for all. Ruby, Freya and Ivy are all survivors of the Ash Tree Foundation, an organisation that claimed to help teenagers deal with technology addiction but which was a front for a dangerously addictive augmented-reality platform, Novo Reality. Novo Reality was the brainchild of tech-baroness Dagmar Nilsson, who disappeared without trace when the Foundation was busted. But now, a year later, just as the girls are all preparing to start a new chapter of their lives, it becomes clear that Dagmar is continuing with her aim of world domination. Can the three friends draw her out of hiding and shut down the Foundation for good, or will Dagmar’s dream of controlling the world finally come true? Because the Endgame is coming, and someone is going down … Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.

In a time of revolution, their fates will lie in the turn of a card . . .
It is the early days of the French Revolution and, on the streets of Paris, terror reigns.
Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand is a young woman with an extraordinary power - through her tarot cards, she can commune with the dead, revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seeking her out to divine their fortunes.

Yana, a vampire hunter, rides into Koprivci promising salvation. The village’s curse has endured for many years and rumour has it that Anka – whose parents died on the night of her birth – is to blame. But enduring the villagers’ suspicion is the least of Anka’s worries; now she has reached womanhood, she can no longer avoid the odious marriage that seems to be her only option.
When animal corpses start to appear in the village square and eggs filled with blood are found in the chicken coops, panic rises. The villagers look to Yana for hope. She knows all about the monsters that stalk the night, monsters that only she can vanquish. But Yana is a liar. And monsters come in all different forms.
Yana and Anka become unlikely allies in hatching a plot to save both Koprivci and Anka from their fates. But then their plan takes on a horrifying life of its own...
Nestačí jen „slyšet“
Umíte skutečně naslouchat, nebo jen čekáte, až budete moci mluvit? Naslouchání není jen pasivní příjem informací: je to biologicky i psychologicky náročný proces, který vyžaduje vnímání, pozornost, empatii a v neposlední řadě i konkrétní komunikační dovednosti.
Monografie Marie Herynkové a Jany Marie Havigerové propojuje teorii aktivního naslouchání v tradici Carla Rogerse se současnými modely procesu naslouchání, s neurovědními vysvětleními náročnosti tohoto procesu a zejména s vlastním kvaziexperimentálním výzkumem 74 studentů učitelství. Sedmitýdenní trénink byl sledován pomocí dotazníku AEL-S i objektivní analýzy audiozáznamů rozhovorů. Výsledky odhalily zajímavý rozpor mezi subjektivním vnímáním a měřitelnou realitou: zatímco studenti sami změnu nepociťovali, jejich komunikace se proměnila – od defenzivních reakcí k většímu využívání objasňování, k validaci emocí a k projevům empatie, jiný byl celkový styl vedení rozhovoru.
Kniha nepředkládá jednoduché návody ani univerzální recepty. Nabízí odborný, střízlivý, daty podložený pohled na aktivní naslouchání jako dovednost, kterou lze rozvíjet, a kterou stojí za to rozvíjet.
Publikace je určena studentům i odborníkům v oblasti pedagogiky, psychologie a pomáhajících profesí i čtenářům, kteří hledají odborný text propojující teorii a praxi s oporou v empirických zjištěních.
The Deathly Grimm
The spellbinding sequel to Kathryn Purdie's Sunday Times bestselling dark fairytale, where our main characters must return to the forest – and its monsters.
After surviving the Forest Grimm and defeating the Wolf, Clara and Axel have made it back to their village, the one place they can be safe behind the forest's borders. But when the forest itself begins luring in more villagers, it's clear that Clara and Axel have only treated the symptoms of the forest's curse, not the cause – and it's getting worse. Burdened with visions of the past and learning to navigate her fragile new relationship with Axel, Clara finds herself entering the forest with Axel yet again to discover the truth once and for all: the identity of the murderer who caused the curse.
As they fight murderous woodsmen with incomprehensible riddles, ladies who will drag you into an eternal dance, and ghosts with the power to wield the forest against them, Clara and Axel realize the stakes are higher than ever. If they don't survive the dark, deadly twists of the forest once more, not only will they never escape, they may also no longer have a home to escape to.
Romantic, eerie, and beautiful, The Deathly Grimm is the triumphant conclusion to Kathryn Purdie's Sunday Times bestselling Forest Grimm duology.
The South
A radiant novel of the longing that blooms between two boys over the course of one summer – about family, desire, and what we inherit – from celebrated author Tash Aw. When his grandfather dies, a boy named Jay travels south with his family to the property he left them, a once flourishing farm that has fallen into disrepair. The trees are diseased, the fields parched from months of drought.
Still, Jay’s father, Jack, sends him out to work the land, or whatever land is left. Over the course of these hot, dense days, Jay finds himself drawn to Chuan, the son of the farm’s manager, different from him in every way except for one. Out in the fields, and on the streets into town, the charge between the boys intensifies.
Inside the house, the other family members confront their own regrets, and begin to drift apart. Like the land around them, they are powerless to resist the global forces that threaten to render their lives obsolete. At once sweeping and intimate, The South is a story of what happens when private and public lives collide.
It is the first in a quartet of novels that form Tash Aw’s masterful portrait of a family navigating a period of great change – a reimagined epic for our times.

Strong Roots
I am writing this story without knowing its end: it begins long before I was born and will continue long after I die. I am writing this story to help myself heal and to make you understand.
Strong Roots is the story of a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin, to her Aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight from Ukraine when their town was occupied in 2022.
This is an ode to the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and recipes passed down the generations - the tang of sour cherries, the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the hardest of circumstances.
Strong Roots brims with hope and grief. It lays bare the compromises and betrayals of generations struggling and surviving through war, peace, invasion and exile. It is an uplifting reminder of how much the human spirit can endure when born from a land rich with strong roots.
