"Kevins Schwur
Die Druiden von Stonehenge - 3. Teil von Kevin von Locksley
Nachdem es Kevin von Locksley im Heiligen Land gelungen ist, König Richard Löwenherz vor den fi nsteren Ränken zweier Magier zu warnen, kehrt er zurück in seine Heimat. Wieder auf englischem Boden, möchte er seinen Bruder Robin in Sherwood Forest treffen. Gemeinsam mit seinen Gefährten Will und Arnulf macht Kevin sich auf den langen und gefährlichen Weg dorthin. Sind es nur die räuberischen Banden, die in den Wäldern, durch die sie ihre Reise führt, ihr Unwesen treiben? Oder ist es etwas weitaus Bedrohlicheres? Finstereres? Kevin muss erkennen, dass sein Kampf gegen die dunklen Mächte noch lange nicht zu Ende ist ..."
""There are nearly four millions of slaves in the United States; and the question now presents itself to every free born American citizen; what are we to do with them? The abolition party demand their immediate emancipation. Is it practicable, safe, or proper? What would be the consequences? What would be the consequence of turning loose upon ourselves four millions of human beings, to prowl about like wild beasts without restraint, or control, and commit depredations on the white population?" -Excerpted from "A Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin," by A. Woodward, M.D., 1853."
"White Fang is the life story of a wolf that comes, after many hardships dealt him by both man and nature, to live a dog's life with a loving master. White Fang was published in 1906 and became an immediate commercial success. It continues to be popular a century after its initial publication. In its unblinking portrayals of nature's unforgiving harshness, of humankind's capacity for both shocking brutality and unconditional love, and of the struggle for survival that is common to all life, White Fang is classic London."
"After hearing scratches in the attic, Alison discovers a dinner service covered in an intriguing floral owl pattern, and a series of events are set in motion that will change her life forever. Alison, her step-brother Roger and Welsh boy Gwyn are forced into a cyclical replay of the tragic Welsh legend of Blodeuwedd, in which a woman is turned into an owl as a punishment for betraying her husband. The Owl Service is a fabulous, multi-layered book of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary musing on love, class structure and power."
"With a Book Sense Pick to her credit, author Bonnie Dobkin offers a suspenseful adventure story for young adult readers. In Neptune's Children, the world is suddenly thrown into turmoil by a biological attack that leaves no adult alive. The children who were enjoying a day at the Isles of Wonder amusement park, however, are prepared to build a new life for themselves."
"Die Liebe vereint die Menschen auf der ganzen Welt, denn jeder spricht ihre Spache. Als Urkraft kann sie Menschen zum Guten verändern, sie verbinden: 'Wenn dein Herz aufblüht, dann blüht auch die schönste Blume.' Sie zeigt sich in der Natur, im Gesang der Nachtigall und im lieblichen Duft der Rose. Doch wer im siebten Himmel ist, kann auch tief fallen. Die elf schönsten Märchen aus aller Welt erzählen von der Liebe in all ihren Facetten, von Glück, Sehnsucht, Vertrauen, Eifersucht und Versöhnung: Geschichten, die uns seit jeher faszinieren und bis heute nicht loslassen."
"The summer before Troy Stotts turns seventeen, his mother dies. Troy and his father barely speak, mostly communicating instead by writing notes on a legal pad by the phone. Troy spends most of his time with his closest friends: Tom Buller, brash and fearless, the son of a drunk; Gabe Benavidez, smart enough to know he’ll never take over the family ranch; and Gabe’s sister Luz, whose family overprotects her, and who Troy has loved since they were children.
Troy and his friends don’t want trouble. They want this to be the summer of what Troy calls “ghost medicine,” when time seems to stop, so they won’t have to face the past, or the future. But before the summer is over, their paths will cross with people in dangerous and fateful ways.
Troy and his friends want to be invisible. Instead, they will become what they least expect–brothers, lovers, heroes, and ghosts."
"FOR PAULA, ACCOMPANYING her merchant father on a trading voyage to Istanbul is a dream come true. They have come to this city of trade on a special mission to purchase a most rare artifact—a gift from the ancient goddess, Cybele, to her followers. It’s the only remnant of a lost, pagan cult.
But no sooner have they arrived when it becomes clear they may be playing at a dangerous game. A colleague and friend of Paula’s father is found murdered. There are rumors of Cybele’s cult reviving within the very walls of Istanbul. And most telling of all, signs have begun to appear to Paula, urging her to unlock Cybele’s secret.
Meanwhile, Paula doesn’t know who she can trust in Istanbul, and finds herself drawn to two very different men. As time begins to run out, Paula realizes they may all be tied up in the destiny of Cybele’s Gift, and she must solve the puzzle before unknown but deadly enemies catch up to her. . . ."
"It was a dumb idea, but one of those dumb ideas that accidentally turns out to be brilliant–which, I’ve come to realize, is much worse than being dumb. My name’s Antsy Bonano–but you probably already know that–and unless you got, like, memory issues, you’ll remember the kid named the Schwa, who I told you about last time. Well, now there’s this other kid, and his story is a whole lot stranger. It all started when Gunnar Ümlaut and I were watching three airborne bozos struggle with a runaway parade balloon. That’s when Gunnar tells me he’s only got six months to live. Maybe it was because he said he was living on borrowed time, or maybe it was just because I wanted to do something meaningful for him, but I gave him a month of my life . . .
. . . And that’s when things began to get seriously weird."
"Finding himself alone on a desert island when everything and everyone he knows and loved has been washed away in a huge storm, Mau is the last surviving member of his nation. He's also completely alone - or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird and gives him a stick which can make fire.
Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She's certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her but it seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship's parrot.
As it happens, they are not alone for long. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation and then raiders accompanied by murderous mutineers from the Sweet Judy. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things - including how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good thing - and start to forge a new Nation.
As can be expected from Terry Pratchett, the master story-teller, this new children's novel is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and nationhood, while being extremely funny. Mau's ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone's lives!"
"Julie is a quiet bookworm. Her best friend Ashleigh, on the other hand, is an 'Enthusiast.' As long as they have known each other, Ash has been obsessed with one thing or another. Now it is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, which just happens to be Julie's favorite book. Before Julie knows what hit her, she and Ash are decked-out in 19th-century garb, smelling like mothballs, and crashing the local all-boys prep school formal dance. Their mission is to find their personal Misters Darcy. But when they set their sights on the same young gentleman, their journey into the world of proper English courtship looks like it might cause a broken heart or two. First-time novelist Polly Shulman has earned glowing critical praise for this funny and romantic tale that even Miss Austen herself would be proud of. Jennifer Ikeda's skillful narration perfectly captures both Julie's inner turmoil and Ashleigh's sheer enthusiasm. '[An] involving and often amusing narrative of friendship, courtship, and (of course) true love.'-Booklist, starred review 'A charming romantic comedy.'-School Library Journal 'Several cuts above the usual fare.'-Kirkus Reviews"
"In the latest hard-hitting YA novel by the New York Times bestselling author, sixteen-year-old identical twin girls must come to terms with their abusive father.
Kaeleigh and Raeanne are sixteen-year-old identical twins, the daughters of a district court judge father and politician mother running for Congress. Everything on the surface of their lives seems Norman Rockwell perfect, but underneath run deep and damaging secrets.
Kaeleigh is the good girl—her father's perfect flower, something she has tried so hard to be since she was nine and he started sexually abusing her. She cuts herself and vomits after every binge, desperate to feel something normal. Raeanne uses painkillers, drugs, alcohol, and sex to numb the pain of not being Daddy's favorite. Both girls must figure out how to become whole, but how can they when their world has been torn to shreds?
Writing in her characteristic narrative poetry style, Ellen Hopkins shows once again how well she knows today's teens and the issues that matter to them."
