Sarah Blau
(tr. Daniella Zamir)
'Twisted,
dark and fizzing with fury'
Observer, Thriller of the Month
'Absorbing'
New York Times
A serial killer is on the loose. Each victim is found
tied to a chair with a baby doll glued to their hands, the word
'mother' carved into their forehead like a mark of Cain.
Stowed away between the wax figurines of the Bible museum where she
works, Sheila Heller knows both victims. She suspects the killings have
something to do with a pact their group all made at university - to
never have children.
What Sheila doesn't know is who is committing these gruesome acts of
ritualistic violence, and whether she herself might be the next target.

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MANGOES
BY KEREEN GETTEN
|
|
|
A HUGE congratulations to Kereen
Getten on her shortlist nomination for this year's Waterstones
Children's Book Prize!
When Life Gives You Mangoes is the
heart-filling story of Clara, a young girl who has lost her memory of
last summer - and no one will tell her what happened, not even her best
friend Gaynah.
When a quirky girl called Rudy arrives on the island, everything starts
to change. Gaynah stops acting like a best friend, while Rudy and Clara
roam across the island and uncover an old family secret. As the summer
reaches its peak and the island storms begin, Clara’s memory starts to
return and she must finally face the truth of what happened last year.
'Both a wonderful evocation of a Caribbean island
childhood and a gripping mystery with a jaw-dropping twist'
Waterstones
'A big adventure
on a small island, this a brilliant powerful book about friendship,
family and fear'
Sharna Jackson
'A winning debut
of immense charm, grace and heartfelt wisdom'

LAST BEAR

There are no polar bears left on
Bear Island. At least, that’s what April’s father tells her when his
scientific research takes them to this remote Arctic outpost for six
months. But one endless summer night, April meets one. He is starving,
lonely and a long way from home. Determined to save him, April begins
the most important journey of her life…

THE
WILD BEFORE
BY PIERS
TORDAY
One stormy, snowy night, a pure
silver calf is born on an ordinary muddy farm by the light of the moon.
This is the legendary Mooncalf, whose arrival has been foretold since
the dawn of time. According to a dream passed down from animal to
animal, if the calf dies, a great terribleness will come - rising seas,
a plague, skies raining down fire, the end of all things... and Little
Hare vows to persuade all the animals to protect Mooncalf, whatever the
cost...

Hello

figured: why not invite you, our readers, to join us?
So, that makes it official.

we’ll be picking our most discussion-worthy titles, offering reading
group discounts, bringing you tailored book club content, and perhaps
even have a special guest appearance or two...

From an
icon of civil rights history...
THIS
IS YOUR TIME
BY RUBY BRIDGES
On November 14th, 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first black child to
integrate into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Escorted
by federal marshals past angry protestors, Ruby became an icon of civil
rights history at just six years old.
Now, she writes an impassioned letter to the 'young peacemakers of the
world'. Full of evocative black and white photographs from then - and
now - This is Your Time is a powerful document of the
fight for liberty and justice, and how Ruby's legacy must be carried on
by the youth of today.
Completing our True Adventures series ...
