★ “Sumptuous illustrations with cut pages bring readers into the colorful and lush world of butterflies….A treat for the eyes and perfect for young naturalists.”―School Library Journal, starred review

An ode to the growth and beauty of butterflies (and their young admirers), this colorful, chunky board book is a work of art.

Every page turn of this chunky board book reveals a new layer of Margarida Esteves’s bright, graphic depiction of a stage in the life of a butterfly. A gentle introduction to maturation and diversity, this rhyming story reminds readers that everyone begins life small and then grows through various stages, some slightly awkward, to then emerge as a butterfly flying high in our own uniquely beautiful way.

Butterflies begin their lives so very small.
They go through growth stages that they may not enjoy at all.
But when they are grown and ready to spread their wings to fly,
nothing is more beautiful than a butterfly reaching up, up, up for the sky.

Beautiful Butterflies is part of the LAYERED VIEW board book series celebrating the ways in which our differences make the world a diverse place. Whether examining the unique needs of every flower in a garden or the special qualities of every puppy in a dog park, every die-cut page of a LAYERED VIEW book adds a level to the story―all building to one gorgeous, multi-dimensional scene perfect for displaying on a bookshelf or a bedroom shelf. Rich with special effects like foil and embossing, LAYERED VIEW board books are a beautiful, playful way to introduce new perspectives to the little learners in your life.

No he visto vieja ni viejo, ni viejita ni viejota. Corre corre, calabaza. ¡Corre más calabazota!, respondía a la calabaza que iba rodando por el camino, ante la mirada estupefacta del lobo, el oso y el león. Quién irá dentro de ella, haciendo burla de las tres fieras? Corre corre, calabaza es un cuento popular portugués, de gran tradición en el país vecino, y que, sin embargo, nunca había sido editado en castellano. Cuenta la historia de una viejecita que, de camino a la boda de su nieta, encuentra a un lobo, un oso y a un león que quieren comérsela. Ella convence a los animales para que la esperen a su regreso del convite y, después de la celebración, la nieta y la viejecita traman un plan muy original para burlar a las tres fieras. Escritores de la talla de Alice Vieira y compiladores de cuentos tradicionales lusos como Adolfo Coelho, S. Romero, A. Oliveira o L. Vasconcellos, han recogido variantes de esta historia en todo Portugal e incluso Brasil, con historias que han dado en llamar A vella e os lobos, O macaco e a cabaça (en la variante brasileira), A cabacinha o A vella que ia na calabaça e encontrou um lobo. En alguna de estas versiones los animales se comen a la abuela, pero en esta versión se optó por un final en el que la vieja y la nieta, reuniendo ingenio, humor e imaginación, consiguen superar los conflictos y darle a las tres fieras su merecido. Con un ritmo ágil y usando "lenga lenga"--Casi un trabalenguas-, presente en las versiones portuguesas que aún hoy circulan, este cuento ofrece muchas posibilidades expresivas de narración y representación teatral. André Letria, ilustrador de gran prestigio en Portugal y ganador en varias ocasiones del Premio Nacional de Ilustración del país vecino, crea personajes con mucha fuerza y personalidad, acentuando su expresividad y enriqueciendo las imágenes con un imaginario humorístico muy definido.

"A la habitación de un niño llegó una cosa horrible; es grande como un elefante, voraz como un tiburón y hambriente como un león.

«Aceptarnos es un acto de rebeldía ante un sistema que ha lucrado con la misma insatisfacción que nos creó.»

¿Te han dicho alguna vez «no es hambre, es sed»? ¿Has oído la frase «no es una dieta, es un estilo de vida»? ¿O quizá te han hecho sentir culpable con un «si no pierdes peso es porque algo estás haciendo mal»?... Raquel Lobatón --antes nutrióloga enfocada en dietas para la pérdida de peso y ahora activista por la diversidad corporal-- cuestiona en este libro los mandatos que la sociedad ha impuesto sobre nuestros cuerpos, a la vez que nos invita a considerar una nueva perspectiva sobre nuestra salud y alimentación.

Tu peso no es el problema es un libro disruptivo que no solo nos muestra que liberarnos de la obsesión por la delgadez y la comida es posible, sino que nos da herramientas para renunciar a los listados de «alimentos permitidos y prohibidos», lidiar con el autorrechazo y vergüenzas corporales, emanciparnos personal y colectivamente para cruzar el puente hacia una alimentación libre de reglas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Accepting ourselves is an act of rebellion against a system that has profited from the same discontent it brewed in us."

Has someone ever told you "You're not hungry, you're thirsty"? Have you ever heard the phrase "it is not a diet; it is a life style"? O perhaps someone has made you feel guilty by saying "if you can't lose weight, you're doing something wrong"?... Raquel Lobatón--former nutritionist focused on dieting to lose weight and now an activist and supporter of body diversity--questions the mandates that society has imposed over our bodies, while urging us to consider a new outlook on health and food.

The Body I Love is a disruptive book that not only shows us it is possible to be free of the obsession of thinness and food, but gives us tools to get rid of those "permitted and forbidden foods" lists, deal with self-rejection and body shame, and liberate ourselves both personally and collectively to cross over towards a diet devoid of rules.

Cómo rescatar la atención perdida en un mundo distraído e hiperconectado.

Cada vez somos más impacientes y estamos más irritables. ¿Notas que te cuesta más prestar atención? ¿Has sentido ansiedad últimamente? ¿Toleras peor el aburrimiento y el dolor?

Vivimos en la era de la gratificación instantánea, en la cultura de la inmediatez y las recompensas y buscamos la felicidad a golpe de clic. Llevamos una vida agitada e intensa, y con el modo fast activado. Sin darnos cuenta nos hemos convertido en drogodependientes emocionales inundados de múltiples distracciones. Todo esto tiene un impacto en nuestra capacidad de prestar atención a lo importante, de profundizar y de concentrarnos.

La buena noticia es que podemos rescatar la atención perdida, volver a reconectar con nosotros mismos y con todo lo maravilloso que nos rodea para encontrar ese equilibrio emocional que tanto ansiamos.

This book will help readers think about the conduct they display when engaging with uncomfortable emotions and will provide tools that will help them understand themselves better and gain back control of their life.

Una inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafíos, sobrevive y se reinventa.

San Francisco, 1866: una monja irlandesa, embarazada y abandonada por un aristócrata chileno tras una apasionada relación, da a luz a una niña a la que llama Emilia del Valle. Criada por su cariñoso padrastro, Emilia se convertirá en una joven brillante de gran personalidad, autónoma e independiente, que desafiará las normas sociales de su tiempo para profesar su verdadera pasión y vocación: la escritura.

Con tan solo diecisiete años, publicará novelas de aventuras bajo un pseudónimo masculino. Pero, enseguida, su mundo ficticio se le quedará pequeño y decidirá optar al puesto de periodista que se le ofrece en el periódico local para vivir de cerca la realidad.

Tiempo después, se le presentará la oportunidad de viajar como corresponsal a la ferviente guerra civil en Chile y no dudará en tomarla. Junto al avezado periodista Eric Whelan, Emilia se encontrará una nación en quiebra, al borde del abismo. Mientras cubre el conflicto bélico entre el presidente Balmaceda y el congreso rebelde, aprovechará la estancia en el país para explorar sus vínculos con la familia Del Valle y poder, al fin, conocer a su padre.

Sus reportajes la situarán en el centro de la guerra, soportando situaciones de terrible violencia en el campo de batalla, en el hospital de sangre y en la cárcel, donde varias veces se debatirá entre la vida y la muerte. Al tiempo, vivirá -y sufrirá- el amor y conocerá también, entre bosques, lagos y volcanes, una tierra donde no llega el horror de la guerra y donde, tal vez, acabe descubriendo no solo su destino sino su propia identidad.

Una cautivadora e inolvidable historia de amor y de guerra, de descubrimiento y redención, protagonizada por una mujer que, enfrentada a los mayores desafíos, sobrevive y se reinventa. Emilia del Valle es desde ya un personaje inolvidable del universo más fértil de Isabel Allende, la saga Del Valle, que empezó con su obra maestra La casa de los espíritus y continuó con Hija de la fortuna y Retrato en sepia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this spellbinding historical novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and The Wind Knows My Name, a young writer journeys to South America to uncover the truth about her father--and herself.

In San Francisco in 1866, an Irish nun, abandoned following a torrid relationship with a Chilean aristocrat, gives birth to a daughter named Emilia del Valle. Raised by a loving stepfather, Emilia grows into an independent thinker and a self-sufficient young woman.

To pursue her passion for writing, she is willing to defy societal norms. At the age of seventeen, she begins to publish pulp fiction using a man's pen name. When these fictional worlds can no longer satisfy her sense of adventure, she turns to journalism, convincing an editor at The Daily Examiner to hire her. There she is paired with another talented reporter, Eric Whelan.

As she proves herself, her restlessness returns, until an opportunity arises to cover a brewing civil war in Chile. She seizes it, as does Eric, and while there, she meets her estranged father and delves into the violent confrontation in the country where her roots lie. As she and Eric discover love, the war escalates and Emilia finds herself in extreme danger, fearing for her life and questioning her identity and her destiny.

A riveting tale of self-discovery and love from one of the most masterful storytellers of our time, My Name Is Emilia del Valle introduces a character who will never let hold of your heart.

El libro que inspiró la exitosa película de Netflix Lucca's World.

El viaje a India de un niño mexicano para reparar su cerebro con un tratamiento futurista.

Bárbara Anderson narra con brutal franqueza el día a día de tener un hijo con discapacidad: los retos dentro y fuera de casa, las complicaciones de salud y de vida; los cambios de prioridades; el Everest de cada día al tener un hijo con -hasta ahora- un diagnóstico irreversible como es la parálisis cerebral infantil.

La autora detalla cómo emprende un viaje a India con toda su familia para que Lucca sea uno de los primeros niños en someterse a un tratamiento de 28 días, dos ocasiones durante 2017 y otra en 2019, y los asombrosos resultados que vieron en él: una neurogénesis que arranca con el Cytotron, aparato creado por el científico indio Rajah Kumar. Como buen viaje de todo héroe, la historia no termina ahí: Bárbara, a quien no le gusta aceptar un no por respuesta, se embarca en una lucha para lograr impulsar el uso del Cytotron en México. Un vistazo a las posibilidades que se abren desde ahora para pacientes con parálisis cerebral y otras condiciones neurológicas además de otro tipo de enfermedades como el cáncer desde México, el punto más lejano en el mundo a Bangalore.

"Un libro estremecedor, hermoso, y últimamente esperanzador. Los dos hemisferios de Lucca es la prueba de que la perseverancia y el empeño siempre tienen su recompensa, y de que el Cytotron marcará un cambio de paradigma para millones de personas a nivel mundial que sufren problemas de salud hasta ahora intratables. Una joya de historia." -Michael Rowe, director de cine.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired the hit Netflix movie Lucca's World.

With brutal frankness, Barbara Anderson narrates the day to day of having a disabled child: the challenges in and out of the home, the health and life complications, the change in priorities, the massive daily struggles of having a child with an irreversible--so far--diagnostic, such as infantile cerebral palsy.

The author details how she embarked on a trip to India with her whole family so that Lucca could become one of the first children to undergo two 28-day treatments in 2017 and 2019, and the amazing results they saw in him: a neurogenesis that jump starts with Cytotron, a machine created by Indian scientist Rajah Kumar. As is the journey of every hero, this story doesn't end there: Barbara, unable to take no for an answer, begins her fight to promote the use of Cytotron in Mexico. This is a glimpse of the possibilities now open for patients with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions, as well as other types of diseases, such as cancer, from Mexico, the farthest place in the world from Bangalore.

"A chilling, beautiful, and ultimately heartening book. The Two Hemispheres of Lucca is proof that perseverance and effort are always rewarded, and that Cytotron will be a paradigm change for millions of people from all over the world who suffer health problems so far untreatable. A gem of a story." --Michael Rowe, film director

Equipada con un par de binoculares y varias botellas de licor, dedica su tiempo a observar a Tom y Katherine Royce, la atractiva pareja que vive en la casa al otro lado del lago. Parecen ser el matrimonio ideal: Tom, un rico empresario de tecnología, y Katherine, una hermosa ex modelo.

Un día en el lago, Casey salva milagrosamente a Katherine de ahogarse, y las dos comienzan a entablar una amistad. Pero cuanto más se conocen y más tiempo pasa Casey observándolos, queda claro que el matrimonio no es tan armonioso y perfecto como parece. Cuando repentinamente Katherine desaparece, Casey no cree que haya regresado a Manhattan como sugieren sus publicaciones en redes sociales, presiente que algo turbio ha ocurrido y se obsesiona con tratar de descubrirlo. Además, una serie de nuevas desapariciones la hacen sospechar que algo mucho más oscuro existe detrás.

Descubrir la verdad será solo la antesala de un misterio mucho más espeluznante de lo que pudo haber imaginado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

They were the perfect couple... Until she disappeared

Casey Fletcher, a celebrated actress who just lost her husband in a tragic accident, tries to escape her grief and a streak of bad reviews when she decides to take refuge in her family's lakeside home in Vermont. Equipped with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of liquor, she spends her time observing Tom and Katherine Royce, the attractive couple who live in the house across the lake. They seem to be the ideal marriage: Tom, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, and Katherine, a beautiful former model.

One day at the lake, Casey miraculously saves Katherine from drowning, and the two begin to strike up a friendship. But the more they get to know each other and the more time Casey spends observing them, it becomes clear that the marriage is not as harmonious and perfect as it seems. When Katherine suddenly disappears, Casey doesn't believe she's returned to Manhattan as her social media posts suggest, senses that something shady has happened, and becomes obsessed with trying to figure it out. In addition, a series of new disappearances make her suspect that something much darker exists behind it.

Uncovering the truth will be just the prelude to a mystery far more horrifying than he could have imagined.

He knows that he is the only one ready to search for his mom, and for that, he needs a ton of courage. J. J. decides to travel to Chiapas to find her. Soon J. J. will realize how difficult it is to journey to a faraway place without more than some change in a plastic wallet, a photograph of his girlfriend, and two clues of his mom's whereabouts.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By the author of the bestseller Cómo hacer que te pasen cosas buenas.

Why do some people make us suffer so much while others give us trust and comfort just by being around? Why do some tend to form complicated and painful relationships? How can we make the right choice when choosing a partner? Is there something biochemical behind trust, attachment, and love?

As humans, we are programmed to live in community--to love and nurture each other. Our happiness depends greatly on our capacity to establish and maintain good relationships with others. However, most of us carry deep emotional wounds that prevent us from creating healthy bonds. Encuentra tu persona vitamina can help us understand our relationship with our parents, our children, our partner, our friends, and our colleagues, while helping you process your own emotional history.

An inspiring guide to finding the people who bring out the best in you--those who support you, inspire you, and even boost your health.

"Cecilia y Thomas viven refugiados en la casa de la familia Schroeder, escondidos en un cuarto adaptado y durante el día no pueden moverse, hacer ruido o salir. Hace tiempo que sus padres fueron llevados a campos de concentración y no saben nada de ellos. Cecilia, con ayuda de Marguerite, le escribe a su novio Giancarlo para avisarle que está bien y sigue con vida.

¿Por qué en el colegio las chicas creen que no han estudiado lo suficiente y en cambio los chicos piensan que «el examen era muy difícil»? ¿Por qué en la actualidad, aunque las estadísticas continúen mostrando que ellas sacan mejores notas, sigue faltándoles confianza (cosa que además influirá profundamente en su desarrollo profesional)? ¿Por qué la mayoría de mujeres sienten que son un fraude en su trabajo y que sus éxitos son solo fruto de la buena suerte? Esto es lo que se conoce como el síndrome de la impostora: una falta de autoestima que te lleva a dudar constantemente de tu potencial.

Este libro ahonda en las causas psicológicas de este fenómeno, explica cómo incluso algunas grandes líderes y creadoras --Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel o Margaret Atwood-- lo han sufrido y da herramientas para aprender a creer en una misma y ganar la seguridad necesaria para tener una carrera profesional y personal exitosa.

Un libro oportuno y necesario que desafía todo lo que creemos saber sobre el cultivo de la verdadera pertenencia en nuestras comunidades, organizaciones y cultura.

De la autora de The Call to Courage!, el documental de Netflix. 
Selección del Club de Lectura Hello Sunshine de Reese Whiterspoon. 

Brené Brown argumenta que estamos experimentando una crisis espiritual de desconexión e introduce cuatro prácticas de pertenencia verdadera que desafían todo lo que creemos sobre nosotros mismos y entre nosotros. 

Ella escribe: “La verdadera pertenencia requiere que creamos y pertenezcamos a nosotros mismos tan completamente que podamos encontrar la santidad tanto en ser parte de algo como en estar solos cuando sea necesario. Pero en una cultura que está plagada de perfeccionismo y placer, y con la erosión de la civilidad, es fácil permanecer en silencio, esconderse en nuestros búnkeres ideológicos o encajar en lugar de mostrarse como nuestro verdadero yo y enfrentar el desierto de la incertidumbre y la crítica. Pero la verdadera pertenencia no es algo que negociamos o logramos con otros; Es una práctica diaria que exige integridad y autenticidad. Es un compromiso personal que llevamos en nuestros corazones ". 

Brown nos ofrece la claridad y el coraje que necesitamos para encontrar nuestro camino de regreso a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Y ese camino atraviesa el desierto. Brown escribe: “El desierto es un lugar salvaje e impredecible de soledad y búsqueda. Es un lugar tan peligroso como impresionante, un lugar tan buscado como temido. Pero resulta ser el lugar de la verdadera pertenencia, y es el lugar más valiente y más sagrado en el que jamás se encontrará

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB PICK 

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A timely and important book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture, from the #1 bestselling author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection

Don’t miss the hourlong Netflix special Brené Brown: The Call to Courage!
 
“True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.” Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives—experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging.

Brown argues that we’re experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other.

"Alex Green es una joven que vive en un mundo muy parecido al nuestro, excepto por el evento más trascendental de su historia: la Dragonización Masiva de 1955, cuando a cientos de miles de esposas y madres les rotaron alas, escamas y garras y se elevaron a los cielos dejando un rastro de fuego y destrucción tras de ellas. Nadie sabe por qué ocurrió. Es tabú hablar de ello. Cuando nosotras fuimos dragonas es una novela especulativa, oportuna y atemporal, en la que la galardonada autora Kelly Barnhill explora audazmente la rabia, la memoria y la tiranía del silencio. Expone un mundo que se esfuerza por mantener a las mujeres limitadas --sus vidas y sus opciones-- y examina lo que sucede cuando se levantan en masa y finalmente ocupan el espacio que merecen."--

"Cuando queremos solucionar un problema de salud, si queremos hacerlo de raíz y duradero, no es suficiente atacar el problema específico; es necesario encontrar el origen y también todos los atenuantes, todo aquello que incide en agravar o mantener el problema. Por lo tanto, no se trata de un tratamiento único, hay que abrir el espectro, hay que tratar el problema de salud como su naturaleza lo indica, desde diferentes aristas. Es por eso que, desde hace varios años, comencé a trabajar en mi práctica médica desde un enfoque integral y holístico. Me apasioné por entender el efecto en la salud de los hábitos, lo que comemos, nuestros pensamientos y emociones o la manera en la que dormimos. En este libro ofrezco una guía práctica y accesible para que más personas puedan beneficiarse de los enfoques integrales y personalizados que promuevo en mi práctica diaria."

La doctora Elisa Sacal nos comparte su amplio conocimiento con un lenguaje sencillo y una visión profunda de todo lo que implica el estilo de vida saludable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

If this book has found its way into your hands, take the opportunity to prevent diseases and improve your quality of life.

"When we want to solve a health problem, if we want to do it thoroughly and lastingly, it is not enough to tackle the specific issue; we need to find the root cause and also all the contributing factors, everything that exacerbates or maintains the problem. Therefore, it is not about a single treatment; we need to broaden the spectrum and address the health issue as its nature indicates, from different angles. That is why, several years ago, I began to work in my medical practice from an integral and holistic approach. I became passionate about understanding the impact of habits, what we eat, our thoughts and emotions, and the way we sleep on our health. In this book, I offer a practical and accessible guide so that more people can benefit from the integral and personalized approaches that I promote in my daily practice."

Dr. Elisa Sacal shares her extensive knowledge with us in simple language and a profound vision of everything that a healthy lifestyle entails.

From award-winning author Kenneth Oppel a startling, can't-wait-to-talk-about-it-with-someone novel that defies genre to create a survival thriller unlike any you've read before. For fans of Leave the World Behind, A.S. King, M.T. Anderson, and Margaret Atwood.

Xavier Oaks doesn't particularly want to go to the cabin with his dad and his dad's pregnant new wife, Nia. But family obligations are family obligations, and it's only for a short time. So he leaves his mom, his brother, and his other friends behind for a week in the woods. Only... one morning he wakes up and the house isn't where it was before. It's like it's been lifted and placed... somewhere else.

When Xavier, his dad, and Nia go explore, they find they are inside a dome, trapped. And there's no one else around...

Until, three years later, another family arrives.

Is there any escape? Is there a reason they are stuck where they are? Different people have different answers -- and those different answers inexorably lead to tension, strife, and sacrifice.

In this masterpiece, award-winning author Kenneth Oppel builds to a heart-stopping pitch in drawing a story that feels very much of our moment, where our very human choices collectively lead to humanity's eventual fate.

Set in the world of New York Times bestseller Seraphina, a boy on the run from a dragon—among other dangers—seeks refuge in a haunted abbey in this wholly original ghost story about what haunts us, and what connects us.

A few things to know about the town of St. Muckle’s: It’s too out-of-the-way to interest greedy lords, and too damp and muddy for marauding dragons to burn. And anyone, from a humble serf to a runaway nun, may earn their freedom by living for a year and a day within the town walls. Seven years ago, Charl and his mother fled to St. Muckle’s and made it their safe-haven, building a new life in this so called Peasant’s Paradise. But when Charl sees something impossible—a ghost—soon the embers of his past are threatening to engulf his world in flame. A tragic accident is quickly followed by murder, a deadly plague, and a mercenary dragon. 

Charl manages to escape to an abandoned abbey outside of town, but finds no safety within those ruined walls. A treacherous nun, a chorus of murdered girls, and the fearsome Battle Bishop await, ready to ensnare him in a complex web of history, magic and fate. For some things should never be forgotten, however much they haunt us, and Charl will need all his wisdom and resiliency if he is to fight for the world he knows…and the people he calls home.

Everything is changing, and twelve-year-old Rowan Robinson hates it. She's dreading having to spend her summer in New York City with her Aunt Monica, even though she used to love it. But things are just different after her father passed away. Without him, nothing about her world feels the same.

Things start to get a little better when Rowan brings her dad's old camera to Central Park to take pictures. But as she's snapping photos, she notices a strange mirror-like shape floating in the air. When she gets closer to it, she trips and falls through the portal, and after she lands, she finds herself in a different world: Seneca Village, where Black people with magical abilities seem to live in the past, in a time without phones or electricity. At first, Rowan thinks it must be a dream, but the more time she spends in the village with her new friend Lily, the more she wants it to be real.

But outsiders aren't even supposed to be able to find Seneca. Rowan and Lily aren't sure how Rowan was able to see the portal, but they suspect it might have something to do with the girl who normally guards the portal having gone missing. As Rowan and Lily search for clues to help find the missing girl and uncover the truth of the portal's magic, Rowan begins to realize what secrets this village might be hiding, and how the events of the past still linger in the present day.

Filled with sparkling magic, honest explorations of grief, and moving depictions of a new friendship, The Forgotten Summer of Seneca asks us to remember a history that's often overlooked--and imagine a future where we're brave enough to embrace change.

Stealing from her rich family was supposed to be a fun winter getaway for teen mastermind Olivia Owens, but when a rival thief, a love triangle, and a murder suspect interfere, she'll have to decide how far she's willing to go for the vault full of gold-and for the boy she loves.

When teen heiress and heist leader Olivia Owens receives an invitation for her cold-hearted grandmother's seventieth birthday at the family's inherited Swiss castle, only one thing entices her to accept: the vault full of gold waiting in the castle's frigid dungeons. Assembling her old crew of high school criminals, now including her boyfriend Jackson, Olivia feels more prepared than ever for grand theft.

But not everything is what it seems when they arrive. For starters, the reunion turns out to be less of a party and more of a wake. Her grandmother announces that she's dying ... and plans to be buried with her fortune. Suddenly the entire greedy Owens clan turns their eyes toward Olivia's target. It's hard enough to steal something everyone's looking at, but an old backstabber, a new suitor, and an uninvited guest add fuel to the fire until Olivia is desperately trying to hold the pieces of her plan-and her crew-together.

As Olivia faces her family's dark legacy of deceit, grift, and maybe even murder, she's forced to weigh how deeply she loves Jackson with how her love might destroy him. She didn't choose her family, but now she has to choose-who she loves, who she trusts, and who she's willing to risk to get what she wants. In a family of thieves, this might cost her everything.

Bestselling and award-winning author Kate Messner takes readers on a heart-filling journey as a boy finds his path to healing.

One summer.
46 mountain peaks.
A second chance to make things right.

Finn Connelly is nothing like his dad, a star athlete and firefighter hero who always ran toward danger until he died two years ago. Finn is about to fail seventh grade and has never made headlines . . . until now.

Caught on camera vandalizing a cemetery, he's in big trouble for knocking down some dead old lady's headstone. Turns out that grave belongs to a legendary local mountain climber, and her daughter makes Finn an unusual offer: she'll drop all the charges if he agrees to climb all forty-six Adirondack High Peaks in a single summer. And there's just one more thing--he has to bring along the dead woman's dog.

In a wild three months of misadventures, mountain mud, and unexpected mentors, Finn begins to find his way on the trails. At the top of each peak, he can see for miles and slowly begins to understand more about himself and his dad. But the mountains don't care about any of that, and as the clock ticks down to September, they have more surprises in store. Finn's final summit challenge may be more than even a hero can face.

Amelia Applebaum isn't in love with Walter Holland. He just happens to be her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber. Who she just happened to invite to prom. (But it's fine. No, for real. If you delete the post, it didn't happen.)

Okay, maybe her friends are right: She's slightly parasocially infatuated. But Amelia just knows sparks would fly--if only she could connect with Walter for real.

If only he would host a meet and greet.

If only it were just a short road trip away.

And if only Amelia could talk her best friends into making it the perfect last hurrah before graduation--even her newly single, always-cynical, guitar-toting best friend Natalie.

One thing's for sure: All roads lead to butterflies.

But what if Amelia's butterflies aren't for Walter at all?

From the New York Times bestselling author of Where the Dark Stands Still comes an atmospheric fantasy based on Swan Lake, following Odile as her plan to restore magic to her kingdom gets disrupted by a murder—forcing her to beg for help from the young woman whose identity she stole.

Can two girls—one enchanted, one the enchantress—save their kingdom and each other?

Two hundred years ago, a slighted deity stole the magic from Auréal and vanished without a trace. But seventeen-year-old Odile has a plan. All her life, her father, a vengeful sorcerer, has raised her for one singular task: infiltrate the royal palace and steal the king’s crown, an artefact with enough power to restore magic. But to enter the palace, she must assume the identity of a noblewoman. She chooses Marie d’Odette: famed for her beauty, a rumored candidate for future queen…and Odile’s childhood-friend-turned-sworn-enemy.

With her father’s help, Odile transforms Marie into a swan and takes her place at court. But when the king is brutally murdered and her own brother is accused, her plans are thrown into chaos. Desperate to free her brother, Odile is forced to team up with none other than elegant, infuriating Marie, the girl she has cursed…and the girl she can’t seem to stop thinking about despite her best efforts.

To make matters worse, there are whispers that the king’s murder was not at the hands of man, but beast. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Marie, Odile becomes tangled in a web of treachery and deceit. To save her kingdom, she must find the true path to magic…and find the real killer before they—or it—strikes again.
