De broers Josh en Aaron verhuizen naar een raar huis: de vloeren zijn niet recht maar een tikje schuin, en er staan allerlei raadsels op de muren gekrabbeld. Al snel ontdekken ze samen met hun nieuwe buurmeisje Lola dat het hele huis bol staat van de geheimen. Op een van hun speurtochten door het huis vinden ze naast pratende ratten en vreemd mysterieus poeder ook een schriftje van F.T. Hinkel, de briljante maar krankzinnig geworden uitvinder die het huis heeft gebouwd. Er blijkt een donker geheim te zijn dat vreselijke gevolgen kan hebben voor de hele familie. Kunnen de jongens en Lola de vreemde raadsels van het huis oplossen en een ramp voorkomen voordat het echt te laat is?

When this book was written, it chronicled one death among many in the war in Eastern Ukraine. Following the events of February 24, 2022, it evolved into a narrative of a nation under severe attack. Olesya Khromeychuk recounts the story of her brother Volodymyr Pavliv, killed on the front line in 2017, from the perspective of a civilian woman, highlighting often-overlooked viewpoints in war narratives. Through a blend of personal memoir and essay, Khromeychuk connects readers to the brutal realities of war in Europe and the intimate experience of loss. This updated edition includes new chapters and a Foreword by Philippe Sands, reflecting on the broader impact of the conflict. The book resonates with anyone grappling with grief and the sudden loss of a loved one. Praise for the first edition emphasizes its emotional depth and ability to transcend individual experiences of grief, uniting readers with the collective sorrow of Ukrainians. Critics commend Khromeychuk for her intelligent exploration of complex themes, blending emotional honesty with rigorous analysis. Her vivid prose and unflinching honesty illuminate the silence surrounding the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, making her brother's story both poignant and unforgettable.

Aún así, su vida transcurre feliz y tranquila hasta que el chico de ojos azules como el Atlántico se muda a la casa de al lado.

Y es que resulta difícil volver a la rutina de siempre con todos los ruidos que llegan de fuera. De repente, Maddy es consciente del cotilleo de los pájaros y de los rayos de sol que se cuelan por sus contraventanas.

Follows of the lives of Blair, Serena, and their wealthy Manhattan friends during the summer following high school graduation.

Only two weeks remain until graduation and there are more than a few surprises in store for the senior girls at an exclusive private high school in New York City, as they fill their last days together with boys, gossip, parties, and shopping.

The story is told by Coriander, daughter of a silk merchant in 1650s London. Her idyllic childhood ends when her mother dies and her father goes away, leaving Coriander with her stepmother, a widow who is in cahoots with a fundamentalist Puritan preacher. She is shut away in a chest and left to die, but emerges into the fairy world from which her mother came, and where time has no meaning. When she returns, charged with a task that will transform her life, she is seventeen. This is a book filled with enchantments -- a pair of silver shoes, a fairy shadow, a prince transformed into a fox - that contrast with the heartbreaking loss and cruelty of Coriander's life in the real world. With its brilliantly realized setting of old London Bridge, and underpinned by the conflict between Royalists and Puritans, it is a terrific page turner, involving kidnapping, murder and romance, and an abundance of vivid characters. Coriander is a heroine to love. Her story will establish Sally Gardner as a children's writer of boundless imagination and originality.

Ella no consigue adivinar sus pensamientos. Él no tiene ni idea de lo que piensa ella. Sólo tú lo sabrás todo sobre AMY «A veces, en mis momentos más bajos, he pensado en presentarme a uno de esos programas de la tele donde te buscan pareja. "¡De Londres, la maravillosa, la fantástica Amy Crosbie!" (Seguido de un delirio de silbidos y aplausos.) Aunque, en realidad, esta fantasía me preocupa un poco, porque sospecho que es la peculiar manera de decirme a mí misma que algo tiene que cambiar. Hace seis meses que no me acuesto con nadie. ¡Seis meses! Pero vamos a ver, tengo piso propio, sólo saco sobresalientes y... ¿dónde está el señor Ideal? Así por lo menos evitaría que mi madre me diera la lata.» JACK «Tengo veintisiete años, estoy soltero y vivo con Matt, mi mejor colega. Andamos juntos desde los ocho años, aunque entonces la vida era más sencilla. Me chiflaba la ropa de poliéster, y de mayor quería ser espía. Un día, cuando Matt me preguntó con quién me iba a casar, le dije que me enamoraría de una chica tan perfecta que ni siquiera podía imaginarme su nombre. Ahora, las cosas son un pelo más complicadas. Sí, es cierto, me enamoré, pero la historia no funcionó. Y además, estar soltero mola cantidad, es mucho más divertido.»
