Todo lo que no sabemos

María de Alva

Cuatro niños se enfrentan al asesinato violento de su padre en el México de los años setenta. El duelo no termina nunca porque de ese homicidio no se habla, de hacerlo se desmoronaría todo un núcleo de protección familiar. Narrada a cuatro voces, escuchamos primero la voz de una narradora que, a veces niña y en ocasiones adulta, se propone rescatar esa historia ayudada de fotografías, un USB con una bitácora oral de su prima con los recuerdos de su padre y ciertos elementos de la investigación policiaca a pesar del temor de poner sobre la mesa un hecho familiar siempre silenciado. Por otro lado, una mujer de mediana edad recibe un diagnóstico de cáncer con metástasis y se enfrenta al tratamiento que, en ocasiones, la lleva a ver durante las sesiones de quimioterapia al padre asesinado hace más de cuarenta años. Con otra mirada, un detective llega al lugar de los hechos el día del asesinato para empezar la investigación. En su archivo encontramos el reporte policial, la autopsia, notas periodísticas diversas, sus apuntes, una carta dirigida a la viuda, así como entrevistas y reflexiones personales sobre el caso.

Señoras de Armas Tomar

Deanna Raybourn

Un thriller divertidísimo sobre unas mujeres mayores que deciden dejar claro que las mejores asesinas a sueldo son, precisamente, las que llegan a jubilarse.

Billie, Mary Alice, Helen y Natalie han trabajado durante cuatro décadas para el Museo, una exclusiva red de asesinos. Sin embargo, ahora las consideran «de la vieja escuela» y, como la tecnología importa más que la inteligencia, ya nadie valora su talento.

Cuando las invitan a un crucero para celebrar su jubilación, estas no tardan en darse cuenta de que se han convertido en objetivo de la Junta del Museo, que ha ordenado eliminarlas.

Es así como las cuatro integrantes del llamado «Proyecto Esfinge» deberán organizarse por su cuenta, confiar las unas en las otras y esperar que el trabajo en equipo sea la clave de su supervivencia.

La Junta está a punto de descubrir de lo que es capaz una señora de armas tomar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon. They've spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they're sixty years old, four women friends can't just retire--it's kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn.

Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. Now their talents are considered old-school, and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills.

When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realize they've been marked for death.

Now to get out alive they must turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They're about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman--and a killer--of a certain age.

Pasar inadvertido

Benito Taibo

Antídoto para el olvido, la poesía es un faro que alumbra lo que corre el peligro de perderse en la cotidianidad, en las horas que nos arrastran sin clemencia. De ahí que la búsqueda de la felicidad sea una hazaña, y la poesía el medio para que tal empeño no se pierda en el caudal de los días que se suceden sin remedio.

Benito Taibo nos invita en los poemas reunidos en este libro a redescubrir las maravillas que aguardan en cada esquina, a despertar cada mañana con el deseo de aprender algo nuevo, a evocar el dulce resquemor de los amores pretéritos y a soñar con el ojo puesto en las posibilidades de los tiempos venideros, siempre que hallemos en la memoria el salvamento.

Ojalá Nunca Lo Leas

Ann Liang

Su mayor rival será su único aliado.

Sadie Wen es perfecta... en teoría.

Sadie tiene el mejor promedio de su generación y todos los profesores la adoran. Conseguir todo eso no ha sido fácil, pero ella tiene un truco que le ha permitido soportar el estrés de ser una estudiante ejemplar: descarga todas sus frustraciones en correos electrónicos que nunca envía. Jamás se atrevería a lastimar los sentimientos de sus profesores y compañeros.

Sus correos más rudos son contra Julius Gong.

Él es el único chico en la escuela que desde que eran niños ha competido con ella. Nunca ha dudado en decirle sus verdades: «Estás hambriento de atención, vives obsesionado contigo mismo y eres insoportablemente vanidoso».

¿Para qué reprimirse si nadie va a leer sus correos? O al menos de eso está convencida... hasta que todos se envían por accidente.

De un día para otro, la vida de Sadie se convierte en una pesadilla. Ahora todos en la escuela saben lo que realmente piensa de ellos y no tendrán compasión para decirle sus opiniones sobre ella. En medio del caos que se desata, hay una persona que sí aprecia descubrir a la «verdadera» Sadie: Julius, el chico al que juró odiar por siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Their biggest rival will be their only ally.

Sadie Wen is perfect... theoretically.

Sadie has the best GPA of her generation and all the teachers love her. Achieving all of that hasn't been easy, but she has a trick that has allowed her to endure the stress of being an exemplary student: She takes out all her frustrations on emails she never sends. He would never dare to hurt the feelings of his teachers and classmates.

Her toughest emails are against Julius Gong.

He is the only boy in the school who has competed with her since they were children. She has never hesitated to tell him his truths: "You are hungry for attention, you live obsessed with yourself and you are unbearably vain."

Why hold back if no one is going to read your emails? Or at least that's what she's convinced of... until they are all sent by accident.

From one day to the next, Sadie's life turns into a nightmare. Now everyone at school knows what she really thinks of them and will have no compassion to tell her their opinions about her. In the midst of the chaos that ensues, there is one person who does appreciate discovering the "real" Sadie: Julius, the boy she swore to hate forever.

Macho Menos: Ideas Para Deconstruirte

Nacho Lozano

El machismo mata, desaparece, humilla, anula, somete y perpetúa la impunidad.

En las violencias de género no son las mujeres las que tienen un problema que resolver, ni la responsabilidad de educarnos. No están en ellas las respuestas sobre los machismos, sus orígenes y efectos, sino en quienes se quieren deconstruir para dar paso a nuevas masculinidades. Así que habrá que ponernos creativos para dejar de ser machos, sin dejar de escucharlas hablar de nosotros y nuestras conductas. Este esfuerzo por reconciliarnos entre los géneros, deconstruirnos y reeducarnos como personas capaces de conversar, amar y respetar las libertades de las mujeres será censurable para algunes, porque un hombre (yo, supuestamente hombre, je) escribe acerca de los feminismos. ¡Escándala! ¿Qué carajo tiene que hacer un cabrón en terrenos feministas con el pretexto de conocer los orígenes del machismo y cómo transformarse a sí mismo?

Ojalá en el camino vayamos juntes al mismo destino: respetar, de una vez por todas, las libertades de las mujeres y vivir en equidad. Al cambiar nosotros podremos exigir que los otros actores familiares, comunitarios e institucionales en (lo que queda de) México lo hagan también.

¿Cómo dejar de ser un macho?

Es hora de escuchar, pensar y decidir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Machismo is the worst that can happen to women.

Machismo kills, disappears, humiliates, nullifies, subdues, and perpetuates impunity.

In gender violence, women are not the ones with a problem to solve nor with the responsibility to educate us. It is not up to them to find answers about machismo, its origins and repercussions; it is up to those who wish to deconstruct themselves to make way for new masculinities. Therefore, we must get creative to stop being machos, while we keep listening to them speak about us and our conduct. This effort to reconcile genders, to deconstruct and reeducate ourselves as people capable of conversing, loving, and respecting the liberties of women will be censurable to some, since a man (I, supposedly a man, ha) is writing about feminisms. Scandal! What the fuck is a motherfucker doing in feminist territory under the pretext of knowing the origins of machismo and how to transform oneself?

I hope we walk this path together towards the same destination: respecting, once and for all, the liberties of women, so we may live in equity. By changing ourselves we may then demand that other actors, in families, communities, and institutions in (what's left of) Mexico, do it too.

How to stop being a macho?

It is time to listen, think, and decide.

Lo que hay

Sara Torres

El esperado debut narrativo de la premiada poeta Sara Torres: una memoria sobre el duelo, el deseo y el amor entre mujeres, madres e hijas.

«Un libro luminoso. Enhebra una búsqueda preciosa para narrar de forma única y diferente todo aquello que nos atraviesa y nos duele». —María Sánchez

Mientras su madre muere de cáncer en una ciudad del norte, la narradora hace el amor con una mujer en un hotel de Barcelona. Tiene un vuelo para visitar a su madre la mañana siguiente, pero ya llegará tarde. Poco después, su amante desaparece de forma brusca y definitiva. Cuando su pareja vuelve de Londres para instalarse con ella en un pequeño apartamento junto al mar, esta intenta ser la calma que sostenga la angustia de un cuerpo que llora a una madre y anhela a una amante.

«Amar es amar siempre después de mi madre. No puedo hablar con mamá, tampoco con Ella. Mi vida se ha suspendido con la interrupción de esas dos conversaciones». La autora retoma ese diálogo en este libro para indagar en las aristas del abandono y el anhelo y tratar de entender a una madre que marcó la vida y las maneras de su hija con su arrolladora forma de amar.

El debut narrativo de la premiada poeta Sara Torres conjuga lirismo y honestidad para navegar el duelo, el amor y el deseo, su búsqueda y su pérdida. El resultado de la travesía es un mapa de las grietas que nos hacen humanos; una invitación a acariciar sin miedo los surcos que nos conforman.

ENSGLISH DESCRIPTION

The long-awaited narrative debut of award-winning poet Sara Torres: a memoir about mourning, desire and love between women, mothers, and daughters.
 
“A luminous book. It weaves together, in a preciously and uniquely narrative, everything crossing and hurting us.” —Maria Sanchez
 
While her mother dies of cancer in a northern city, the protagonist is making love with a woman in a hotel in Barcelona. She will catch a flight to visit her mother the next morning, but she is already late. Shortly after, her lover abruptly and definitively disappears. Her partner returns from London to live with her in a small apartment by the sea, trying to calm and sustain her, while she cries for a mother and longs for a lover.
 
“To love is to love always after my mother. I can’t talk to mom, and I can’t talk to Her either. My life has been suspended by the interruption of those two conversations.” The author catches up on these dialogues, investigating the limits of abandonment and longing, trying to understand a mother who marked the life of her daughter with her overwhelming way of loving.
 
The narrative debut of award-winning poet Sara Torres combines lyricism and honesty to navigate grief, love and desire, her quests and her losses. The result of this journey is a map of the many cracks that make us human; an invitation to caress without fear the scars that make us who we are.

Kim Ji-young, nacida en 1982

Cho Nam-Joo

Nominada para el National Book Award

En la lista de los 100 libros imprescindibles del 2020 de la revista Time y del New York Times. 

Su nombre es Kim Ji-young. Tiene 33 años y el nombre más común de Corea. Su historia ha incendiado Asia entera.

«Ni siquiera yo sé si me casaré o si tendré hijos. O puede que me muera antes. ¿Por qué tengo que renunciar a lo que quiero ser o hacer por un futuro que no sé si llegará o no?»

Esta novela ha pasado de ser la breve historia de una joven coreana a convertirse en un terremoto que ha sacudido a las mujeres de medio mundo. Kim Ji-young (que lleva el nombre más común entre las mujeres coreanas nacidas en 1982) es aparentemente una mujer como cualquier otra, con una juventud sin pena ni gloria, siempre a la sombra. Todo se retuerce cuando, de repente, Kim empieza a hablar con las voces de su madre, de una amiga desaparecida, de otras muchas mujeres. Lo que parecía una broma adquiere el tono de una respuesta, de una insurrección y, para los demás, el tono de una enfermedad.

Este libro ha sido una embestida para el panorama literario de todos los países en los que se ha publicado. Bajo su aparente sencillez, hay una sensación de peligro que palpita a lo largo de todas sus páginas y que ha abierto una grieta en los estándares de la literatura contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted • National Book Award (Translated Literature)

On the Time magazine 100 must-read books of 2020.

New York Times Notable Book of 2020

Vulture • Best Books of the Year (So Far)

New York Times Editors Choice Selection

The runaway bestseller that helped launch Korea’s new feminist movement, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman’s psychic deterioration in the face of rigid misogyny.

In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul, Kim Jiyoung―a millennial “everywoman”―spends her days caring for her infant daughter. Her husband, however, worries over a strange symptom that has recently appeared: Jiyoung has begun to impersonate the voices of other women―dead and alive, both known and unknown to her. 

Truly, flawlessly, completely, she became that very person. As she plunges deeper into this psychosis, Jiyoung’s concerned husband sends her to a psychiatrist, who listens to her narrate her own life story―from her birth to a family who expected a son, to elementary school teachers who policed girls’ outfits, to male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women’s restrooms and posted the photos online. But can her doctor cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? Rendered in eerie prose, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 announces the arrival of a major international writer.

A mischievous boar.

And a squirrel who doesn't miss a thing.

Un día, Ardilla advirtió que la casualidad no era el motivo de los ojos tristes de Castorcillo.

The Academy

Elin Hilderbrand

From #1 bestselling author of The Perfect Couple Elin Hilderbrand, and her daughter, Shelby Cunningham: the irresistible, deliciously scandalous story of one drama-filled year at a New England boarding school.



It's move-in day at Tiffin Academy and amidst the happy chaos of friends reuniting, selfies uploading, and cars unloading, shocking news arrives: America Today just ranked Tiffin the number two boarding school in the country. It's a seventeen-spot jump - was there a typo? The dorms need to be renovated, their sports teams always come in last place, and let's just say Tiffin students are known for being more social than academic. On the other hand, the campus is exquisite, class sizes are small, and the dining hall is run by an acclaimed New York chef. And they do have fun--lots of parties and school dances, and a piano man plays in the student lounge every Monday night.



But just as the rarefied air of Tiffin is suffused with self-congratulation, the wheels begin to turn - and then they fall off the bus. One by one, scandalous blind items begin to appear on phones across Tiffin's campus, thanks to a new app called ZipZap, and nobody is safe. From Davi Banerjee, international influencer and resident queen bee, to Simone Bergeron, the new and surprisingly young history teacher, to Charley Hicks, a transfer student who seems determined not to fit in, to Cordelia Spooner, Admissions Director with a somewhat idiosyncratic methodology - everyone has something to hide.



As if high school wasn't dramatic enough...As the year unfolds, bonds are forged and broken, secrets are shared and exposed, and the lives of Tiffin's students and staff are changed forever. The Academy is Elin Hilderbrand's fresh, buzzy take on boarding school life, and a thrilling new direction from one of America's most satisfying and popular storytellers.

How to Party Like a Snail

Naseem Hrab

An introverted snail throws his own kind of party to celebrate all things quiet

Snail is a party animal. Well...kind of. He loves the quiet things about parties: confetti, making new friends (using his indoor voice, of course), and the silence before everyone yells, "SURPRISE!" But when parties get loud, Snail retreats into his shell. He's still partying, but no one can tell he's having a good time while he's tucked inside. His friends don't understand why he doesn't love loud parties like they do, and soon Snail's party invites begin to dry up.

In response, Snail decides to plan his own quiet party, complete with warm milk and lullaby lip-syncing. But something is missing--does Snail long for the "loud" after all? That's when Stump, a fellow introvert, chimes in with an idea. Maybe Snail isn't missing the "loud"...maybe he's just missing a friend to share the quiet. Together, Stump and Snail turn the lullabies down low and celebrate "the shush" together.

With comics-style storytelling and lovable characters, this hilarious tale makes quiet so fun that even the most extroverted readers will want to SHHHelebrate!

Take a Hike

Katie Ruggle

WHY DATE A MOUNTAIN MAN? Because it's effing in-tents.

Bounty Hunter Charlie Pax is in a bind. Not only did her own mother skip town after putting the family home up as collateral, but it's days before her first court hearing and she still hasn't been found. If she doesn't show, Charlie and her sisters will lose everything. There's only one thing left for Charlie to do: make a big show of leaving town with the one piece of bait sure to lure her mother out of hiding and set a trap for her in the remote Rocky Mountains town of Simpson, Colorado.

Surly Simpson firefighter Kieran Byrne is no stranger to being on the wrong side of the law. He's the prime suspect in the murder of a local militia leader, and he needs help proving his innocence before he can take the fall for someone else's crime. Charlie's got her hands more than full, but pretty soon the two strike a deal: if she can help Kieran prove his innocence, he will use his contacts to track and entrap her mom. Two birds, meet one stone.

As they break into the local militia's compound, dodge flying bullets, and hunt for the stolen necklace, Charlie and Kieran discover they share an explosive attraction...and a growing affection neither can deny. But is there room for something as soft as romance in either of their hardscrabble worlds, or will the call of that lifelong adventure be something neither can find it within themselves to deny?

The Rocky Mountains get unbearably hot in Katie Ruggle's brand-new series packed with adventure, action, tall dark & scruffy heroes, and a sense of quirky humor that will be your next perfect escape.

Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore

Emily Krempholtz

A powerful plant witch and a grumpy alchemist must work together to save their quiet town from a magical plague in this debut cozy fantasy romance about starting over, redemption, and what it really means to be a good person.

Guy Shadowfade is dead, and after a lifetime as the dark sorcerer’s right-hand, Violet Thistlewaite is determined to start over—not as the fearsome Thornwitch, but as someone kind. Someone better. Someone good.

The quaint town of Dragon’s Rest, Violet decides, will be her second chance—she’ll set down roots, open a flower shop, keep her sentient (mildly homicidal) houseplant in check, and prune dark magic from the twisted boughs of her life.

Violet’s vibrant bouquets and cheerful enchantments soon charm the welcoming townsfolk, though nothing seems to impress the prickly yet dashingly handsome Nathaniel Marsh, an alchemist sharing her greenhouse. With a struggling business and his own second chance seemingly out of reach, Nathaniel has no time for flowers or frippery—and certainly none for the intriguing witch next door.

When a mysterious blight endangers every living plant in Dragon’s Rest, Violet and Nathaniel must work together, through their fears, pasts, and growing feelings for one another, to save their community. But with a figure from her previous life knocking at her door and her secrets threatening to uproot everything she’s worked so hard to grow, Violet can’t help but wonder…does a former villain truly deserve a happily-ever-after?

An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams? 

Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband Ian — and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track — Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).

A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged—but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You’ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.

Dark, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Best Offer Wins is a propulsive debut and a razor-sharp exploration of class, ambition, and the modern housing crisis.

The Ferryman and His Wife

Frode Grytten

In the spirit of Amor Towles and George Saunders, the renowned, bestselling Norwegian author Frode Grytten takes readers on a quietly epic journey: ferry driver Nils Vik's last route along the fjord, on what he knows will be his last day alive.



Nils Vik wakes up on November the 18th and knows it will be the day he dies. He follows his morning routine as voices from his past echo in his mind, and looks around the empty house one last time, before stepping onto his beloved boat.



His dog, dead these many years, leaps aboard with him, and then the other dead begin to emerge - from the woods along the fjord, from each of the ferry stops along the route, from his logbook full of memories and quotations and jotted-down notes about the weather conditions. The people from the past accompany him now, prodding him, showing him what he might have missed before, as he waits for his Marta, his late, remarkable wife, to finally join him on the boat again.



Winner of the prestigious Brage Prize, and considered to be Grytten's long-awaited masterpiece, The Ferryman and His Wife is the story of a quiet, yet utterly profound, life told in reverse. Timeless and absorbing, this is a novel about what we take with us - those moments that might seem insignificant as they happen but prove to be the most meaningful, in the end.

Cursed Daughters

Oyinkan Braithwaite

A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK

A young woman must shake off a family curse and the widely held belief that she is the reincarnation of her dead cousin in this wickedly funny, brilliantly perceptive novel about love, female rivalry, and superstition from the author of the smash hit My Sister, the Serial Killer ("A bombshell of a book... Sharp, explosive, hilarious'--New York Times)

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: New York Times, Washington Post, People, Goodreads, E! News, Kirkus, LitHub, Book Riot

"A triumph: bold, searing, and utterly original. From the first page, it grips with an electric pulse....Impossible to put down."
--Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of Girl with the Louding Voice

When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Eniiyi, on the day they bury her cousin Monife, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and the dead woman. So begins the belief, fostered and fanned by the entire family, that Eniiyi is the actual reincarnation of Monife, fated to follow in her footsteps in all ways, including that tragic end.

There is also the matter of the family curse: "No man will call your house his home. And if they try, they will not have peace..." which has been handed down from generation to generation, breaking hearts and causing three generations of abandoned Falodun women to live under the same roof. 

When Eniiyi falls in love with the handsome boy she saves from drowning, she can no longer run from her family's history. As several women in her family have done before, she ill-advisedly seeks answers in older, darker spiritual corners of Lagos, demanding solutions. Is she destined to live out the habitual story of love and heartbreak? Or can she break the pattern once and for all, not only avoiding the spiral that led Monife to her lonely death, but liberating herself from all the family secrets and unspoken traumas that have dogged her steps since before she could remember?

Cursed Daughters is a brilliant cocktail of modernity and superstition, vibrant humor and hard-won wisdom, romantic love and familial obligation. With its unforgettable cast of characters, it asks us what it means to be given a second chance and how to live both wisely and well with what we've been given.

Black-Owned

Char Adams

**A November LibraryReads Pick**

Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter.

In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements.

Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever.

Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.

* This stunning luxe edition includes a jacketed printed case with custom character art, full-color designed endpapers, black stained edges and foiled cover elements. While supplies last! *

Set in the world of the gods first introduced in Divine Rivals, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Ross delivers a sweeping, beautiful adult novel filled with tension, romance, and dark secrets.

True love is more divine than any ruthless god.

Born in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.

Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life—begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him.

As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

That last rule has been in place ever since Laurie tried to kill Evander seven years ago, and yet somehow Evander is still obsessed with him.

When Byron suddenly dies, Evander inherits Hazelthorn’s immense gothic mansion and acres of sprawling grounds, along with the entirety of the Lennox-Hall family's vast wealth. But Evander's sure his guardian was murdered, and Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer before they come for Evander next. 

Perhaps even more concerning is how the overgrown garden is refusing to stay behind its walls, slipping its vines and spores deeper into the house with each passing day. As the family’s dark secrets unravel alongside the growing horror of their terribly alive, bloodthirsty garden, Evander needs to find out what he’s really inheriting before the garden demands to be fed once more.

Fake Skating

Lynn Painter

A New York Times bestseller!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship.

Growing up, Dani couldn’t help but follow around the adorable son of her mom’s best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch—except, they didn’t.

Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parents’ devastating divorce, Dani wouldn’t mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. He’s a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it.

Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them together—and forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each other…including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.

Chloe Gong

An instant New York Times bestseller!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong comes the start of a daring new dystopian series where humanity has moved to virtual reality to flee their deteriorating world, following two young soldiers who must depend on unlikely allies in their fight for survival.

The future is loading…

To escape rising seas and rampant epidemics, most of society lives “upcountry” in glistening virtual reality, while those who can’t afford the subscription are forced to remain in crumbling “downcountry.” 

But upcountry isn’t perfect. A cold war rages between two powerful nations, Medaluo and Atahua—and no one suffers for it more than the Medan orphans in Atahua. Their enrollment at Nile Military Academy is mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy.

Eirale graduated the academy and joined NileCorp’s private forces downcountry, exactly as she was supposed to. Then Atahua’s most wanted anarchist frames her for assassinating a government official, and she’s given a choice: cooperate with him to search for a dangerous program in Medaluo or go down for treason.

Meanwhile, Lia is finishing her last year upcountry at Nile Military Academy. Paired with her academic nemesis for their final assignment, Lia is determined to beat him for valedictorian and prove her worth. But there may be far more at stake when their task to infiltrate Medaluo and track down an Atahuan traitor goes wrong…

Though Eirale and Lia tear through Medaluo on different planes of reality, the two start to suspect they are puzzle pieces in a larger conspiracy—and the closer they get to the truth, the closer their worlds come to a shattering collision.

Bad Boy

Walter Dean Myers



 

A gripping graphic memoir adaptation of iconic, multi-award-winning author Walter Dean Myers's autobiography, telling the story of his coming-of-age in Harlem, adapted by Guy A. Sims and illustrated by Dawud Anyabwile.

Legendary author Walter Dean Myers was once a troublemaker and a truant.

Just how bad was he From instigating mischievous pranks at home to fighting in the classroom--especially when teased about his speech impediment--irrepressible Walter was more than a handful. Underneath it all, he had a tremendous love for books, and by high school he longed to become a writer. But financial troubles at home made him feel his options were so limited that he dropped out of school. Still, his desire to write was as irrepressible as Walter himself. If he could only be given the chance...

Walter recounts what growing up in Harlem was like in the 1940s and 1950s--when seeing Langston Hughes and Sugar Ray Robinson on the street was the norm and Jackie Robinson ruled the baseball field.

Gripping. Funny. Heartbreaking. Walter Dean Myers's memoir is unforgettable. This is the award-winning story of one of the strongest voices in children's and young adult literature.

Night Lunch

Eric Fan

*2022 New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Winner*

Teach values of generosity, understanding, and community with this calm and scrumptious story about a lunch cart that feeds the wildlife creatures in the local area.

Furry noses sniff the air as mouth-watering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift workers and opera-goers alike: a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger, and puddings for little Possums.

Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food – but Owl’s cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening’s service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two?

From the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. With stark, feathery illustrations and minimal, poetic wording, the visuals are simple yet sweet. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of the city at night, Night Lunch reveals how empathy and kindness, as well as dignity and gratitude, can be found – and savored – in the most unexpected places.

La Flor Generosa

Alda P. Dobbs

A lyrical picture book about the Poinsettia flower and the holiday traditions it has inspired

First, the flower grew wild--a yellow blossom with bracts that turn brilliant red in winter. The ancient Nahuas cultivated it; then it inspired Mexico's most famous Christmas legend. After the flower caught the eye of Mexico's first US ambassador, it became known as the Poinsettia. Yet it has many more names and traditions--and even more colors!

From Pura Belpre Honoree Alda P. Dobbs and illustrator Emily Mendoza comes a lyrical and vibrant picture book history of the flower that has given the world so much.

 

Una flor. Dos naciones. Siete siglos. La historia de la Poinsettia.

En un principio, fue silvestre--una flor amarilla con hojas que, en invierno, se tornan de un rojo vivo. Los antiguos nahuas la cultivaron, y después inspiró la leyenda navideña más famosa de México. Cuando la flor captó la atención del primer embajador de Estados Unidos a México, se le llamó Poinsettia. Sin embargo, tiene muchos más nombres, tradiciones... ¡y colores! De la autora Alda P. Dobbs, galardonada con el Premio de Honor Pura Belpré, y la ilustradora Emily Mendoza, llega este libro ilustrado, lírico y vibrante, que nos cuenta la historia de la flor que ha dejado una huella indeleble en el mundo.

Hoy Jugamos Todos. un Cuento para Prevenir el Bullying

Alberto Soler

Un álbum ilustrado para enseñar a los más pequeños a manifestar su malestar y establecer límites, la base para evitar la semilla del acoso escolar.

A Lucas, el niño nuevo del cole, le encantan los dinosaurios. A Max, el niño más grande del cole, no tanto, y se encarga todos los días de reírse de él para que todos lo sepan. Por suerte, Lucas cuenta con su grupo de amigos que le enseñará a decir "por ahí, no", buscar ayuda en los adultos y poner límites que nos ayuden a sentirnos bien.

Porque si todos aprendemos a decir "eso no me gusta", no podrán con nosotros.

El nuevo libro de Alberto Soler dirigido a las familias que piensan que las frases "es cosa de niños" o "no es para tanto" no sirven.

¿Qué encontrarás en este libro?

*Una historia con la que enseñar a los niños a expresar su malestar, poner límites y aprender a ponerse en el lugar del otro.

*Tiernas ilustraciones a todo color de Nerea Vicente.

*Un conjunto de personajes diverso y amable, como el que podrías encontrar en cualquier colegio.

*Una herramienta para prevenir el acoso escolar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A picture book designed to help young children learn to express themselves when they don't feel comfortable and set boundaries--the foundation for preventing the seeds of bullying.

Lucas, the new kid at school, loves dinosaurs. Max, the biggest kid at school, doesn't--and he makes sure to laugh at Lucas every day so that everyone knows it. Fortunately, Lucas has a group of friends who teach him how to say "enough is enough," how to seek help from adults, and set boundaries that will help him feel safe.

Because if we all learn to say, "I don't like that," nobody will be able to hurt us.

Alberto Soler's new book is aimed at families who believe that phrases like "kids will be kids" or "it's not a big deal" just don't cut it.

What will you find in this book?

 

  • A story that teaches children to express their discomfort, set boundaries, and understand other people's feelings.
  • Heartwarming, full-color illustrations by Nerea Vicente.
  • A diverse and friendly group of characters, just like those you'll find in any school.
  • A valuable tool for preventing bullying.

Cuenta Conmigo

Kyle Lukoff

Un álbum ilustrado sobre la importancia de acompañar en los momentos difíciles.

Cuando alguien a quien queremos esta triste... no siempre sabemos qué hacer. Es normal querer ayudar y hacerles saber que pueden contar con nosotros... ¿pero cómo? ¿Y cómo podemos saber lo que necesitan?

Eso mismo le sucede al protagonista del libro. Cuando el cactus de su hermano murió, no sabía qué podía hacer para ayudarlo. Lo que necesitaba él era un chiste, para pensar en otra cosa. Pero eso mismo... no le sirvió cuando murió el perrito de su cuidadora, ni cuando murió el hámster de su clase. Así, el protagonista va aprendiendo que cada persona necesita algo diferente. Y eso está bien.

¿Y qué pasa cuando la otra persona no sabe lo que necesita? Que no pasa nada. Siempre podemos descubrirlo juntos.

Un entrañable álbum ilustrado sobre un tema universal que encantará a grandes y pequeños.
