The Children: 'So unique and suprising: I practically inhaled it'

"Bloomsbury presents The Children by Melissa Albert, read by Rebecca Lowman, Saskia Maarleveld, Kristen Sieh, Iggy Costello and Leslie Alerman 'A joyously grim, open-eyed, adult fairy tale with the messiest of morals' PAUL TREMBLAY 'An insidious and masterfully cast spell of a book . . . Gorgeous and dreadful, I devoured it' MONA AWAD Their childhood was yours. They want it back . . . Guinevere’s late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin’s childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family. Now estranged from her brother and her parents long dead after a devastating fire, strange events threaten the veneer of serenity and familial harmony Guin is keen to project. Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation – his first since a disastrous last show one year prior – simply entitled Mother. And Guin can’t help but worry that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to blow her world apart. Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting narrative of family secrets and long-held resentments, which asks whether we can ever really exorcise the ghosts of a childhood forsaken in favour of a parent’s artistic vision. 'A poison apple of a book: glossy, sweet, and absolutely terrifying' ALIX E. HARROW 'Twisty and strange in all the best ways' HEATHER FAWCETT C 2026 HarperCollins Publishers P 2026 HarperCollins Publishers"

[Italian] - Il paese del buio

"Alice è scappata dal mondo fiabesco di Hazel Wood, e ora lei e gli altri abitanti dell'Oltremondo sono sbarcati a New York, alla ricerca di una vita non magica. Ma condurre un'esistenza totalmente umana non è semplice per Alice. Come si dice, si può togliere Alice dall'Oltremondo, più difficilmente l'Oltremondo da Alice. Ci riuscirà? Non sarà facile: dovrà scoprire chi è a uccidere e mutilare i profughi del suo vecchio mondo, affrontare un potentissimo vecchio nemico, fare i conti con la propria doppia (anzi, tripla) identità, e ultimo ma non ultimo salvare - con il sempre provvidenziale aiuto di Ellery Finch - il nostro povero mondo reale. contributori LE Nicole Pravadelli"

"La magia scorre profonda in questa famiglia. Ma ancora più profondi sono i suoi segreti. Segreti. Bugie. Scelte decisamente sbagliate. Stregoneria. PERIFERIA. ADESSO. L'estate di Ivy, diciassette anni, non è cominciata per niente come si era immaginata: prima l'incidente d'auto di ritorno dalla festa di fine anno; poi finisce in punizione per essersi comportata in maniera irresponsabile salendo in auto con un ragazzo ubriaco; e soprattutto l'apparizione di una strana ragazza in mezzo alla strada nel cuore della notte. E questi saranno solo i primi di una serie di eventi che scombussoleranno la vita di Ivy. Con il trascorrere dei giorni si ritroverà sopraffatta da doni inquietanti, stralci di ricordi e un segreto che in realtà conosce da sempre: sua madre è molto, molto di più di quello che lascia apparire. CITTÀ. ALLORA. Dana è sempre stata una ragazzina percettiva. L'estate in cui compie sedici anni, con la complicità della sua migliore amica e di una misteriosa ragazza più grande, i suoi doni sbocciano e la catapultano in una dimensione sovrannaturale. A mano a mano che le loro aspirazioni si fanno sempre più oscure, le tre ragazze si ritrovano a correre veloci verso un violento punto di rottura. Molti anni dopo, la storia di Ivy e Dana arriva al regolamento dei conti tra una madre e sua figlia, e le oscure forze che non avrebbero mai dovuto destare. contributori LE Nicole Pravadelli"
