Chimie Imparfaite
by Mary Frame Pauline EvrardLucy London est ce qu'on pourrait appeler un génie. Ayant obtenu son doctorat en microbiologie à l'âge de vingt ans, elle possède des connaissances phénoménales, mais il y a toujours quelque chose qu'elle ne comprend pas : les gens. Les aléas des passions vécues par les personnes gravitant autour d'elle l'intriguent et la rendent perplexe. Ainsi, lorsqu'on lui offre une bourse pour étudier les émotions en tant que pathogènes, elle saute sur l'occasion. Et voici que rentre en scène Jensen Walker, le voisin de Lucy et le seul homme qu'elle trouve attirant. La vie de Jensen est légendaire sur le campus, bordélique, émouvante et compliquée. Un point de départ parfait pour l'étude de Lucy. Quand sa ténacité paie enfin et qu'il accepte de l'aider, les étincelles fusent. Lucy se retrouve, à sa plus grande surprise, à devoir batailler avec ses propres émotions, aussi intenses qu'étrangères. Alors que le temps passe et que la date butoir pour son étude approche, Lucy doit faire face à un dilemme : analyser ses émotions et ses passions ... ou y succomber ?
Chimpanzees for Tea!
by Jo EmpsonA silly, fun version of the game "telephone"—in which a grocery list committed to memory goes playfully awry. One day, Vincent's mother asks him to go to the store to pick up a few items: "a bunch of carrots, a box of rice, some China tea, a big, firm pear, and a tin of peas" to be precise. "And hurry home in time for tea!" she says. Sounds easy enough.Yet distractions are at every turn, causing havoc with Vincent's memory. All of a sudden, a tin of peas is replaced by a trapeze; a big, firm pear becomes a big furry bear; and a box of rice transforms into a box of mice!Needless to say, Vincent's mother is in for quite a surprise.Told with a playful rhythm for reading aloud and illustrated with exuberance and great child appeal, this humorous picture book will have kids laughing and asking for repeated readings.Praise for Chimpanzees for Tea!"British author-illustrator Jo Empson brings her wonderfully freewheeling, kinetic style to this lively read-aloud that will have youngsters giggling and shouting out the correct items from the list."—Shelf Awareness"Award-winning British author/illustrator Empson energetically illustrates her tale of ever more outrageous memory lapses with scribbly watercolors full of swooping action and bouncing wildlife that follow the swirling text across the pages. As much fun to read as it is to hear, and a real treat for the eyes."—Kirkus Reviews"With a wildly cavorting cast of characters [and] a playful text . . . this is hard to resist." —Booklist"The humorous text makes this a perfect read-aloud for all ages and a great memory game to play with school-age kids."—School Library Journal

China Dream
by Ma JianBlending fact and fiction, this darkly comic fable “may be the purest distillation yet of Mr. Ma’s talent for probing the country’s darkest corners and exposing what he regards as the Communist Party’s moral failings” (Mike Ives, The New York Times).Called “Red Guards meet Kurt Vonnegut . . . powerful!" by Margaret Atwood on Twitter, China Dream is an unflinching satire of totalitarianism. Ma Daode, a corrupt and lecherous party official, is feeling pleased with himself. He has an impressive office, three properties, and multiple mistresses who text him day and night. After decades of loyal service, he has been appointed director of the China Dream Bureau, charged with replacing people's private dreams with President Xi Jinping's great China Dream of national rejuvenation. But just as he is about to present his plan for a mass golden wedding anniversary celebration, his sanity begins to unravel. Suddenly plagued by flashbacks of the Cultural Revolution, Ma Daode's nightmare visions from the past threaten to destroy his dream of a glorious future.Exposing the damage inflicted on a nation's soul when authoritarian regimes, driven by an insatiable hunger for power, seek to erase memory, rewrite history, and falsify the truth, China Dream is a dystopian vision of repression, violence, and state–imposed amnesia that is set not in the future, but in China today.
A Chinatown Christmas: A Romantic Comedy (Chen Family Cuisine #1)
by Kailin Gow"A Chinatown Christmas" refers to the saying that you can always find a restaurant open on Christmas day in Chinatown when all the other restaurants are closed. Billionaire Jake Austin, has spent the last five years working through Christmas as he built his start up to a billion-dollar corporation. Every year, he's spent Christmas Day eating at the Chen Family Cuisine Restaurant, located in his local Chinatown down the street from his house. It was the only restaurant opened in town. Every year, he always ate alone. Like the cold ruthless and arrogant billionaire that he was. Until this year, when someone decided to sit at his table. **** Eldest daughter of the American-born Chen family in California, Charisma Chen has noticed the reclusive Jake Austin dine alone at her family's restaurant for years. Ever since he brutally berated her on her first day of work at his start up, she's kept her distance, even at her own family restaurant where she and her sisters would gather for Christmas every year to spend Christmas with her parents, who insisted on keeping the restaurant open even on Christmas Day. This year, Charisma is going to close the restaurant for the first time on Christmas Day to give her parents a break. But for some reason, when Jake Austin shows up at the restaurant, something inside of Charisma makes her change her mind. Something that has something to do with her past or was it something to do with the ancient folklore or the Chen Family Cuisine? ** A Chinatown Christmas is an enemies-to-lover romantic comedy with heart and a touch of magic appropriate for age 14 and up!
Chinese Cooking For Diamond Thieves
by Dave LowryDriving home after being kicked out of college, Tucker meets and picks up the mysterious Corinne Chang at a rest stop. Infatuated, and with nothing better to do, he ends up with her in St. Louis, where he gets a job as a chef in a Chinese restaurant. Even though he’s a gwai lo—a foreign devil—his cooking skills impress the Chinese patrons of the restaurant, and his wooing skills impress Corinne when she joins him there as a waitress. But when Chinese gangsters show up demanding diamonds they believe Tucker’s kind-of, sort-of, don’t-call-her-a-girlfriend stole, he and his friends—which luckily include a couple of FBI agents—have to figure out just who is gunning for Corinne and how to stop them. Good thing Tucker is a Mandarin-speaking martial arts master who isn’t afraid to throw the first punch. With its one-of-a-kind hero, Chinese Cooking for Diamond Thieves is perfect for anyone who loves cooking, Chinese culture, bad jokes, and young love. Diamonds are forever . . . unless Chinese mobsters decide they want them back.
