Fenway and Hattie in the Wild (Fenway and Hattie #4)
by Victoria J. CoeIn the fourth book in the adorable middle-grade series, Fenway gets a taste of the wild when he goes on a back-to-school camping trip with Hattie. When Hattie starts using a word Fenway hasn't heard in a long, long time - "skool" - some other things change as well. Hattie's bushy ponytail disappears, clothes that smell like no one ever wore them get tossed around her room, and she smells nervous much more than usual. Then the family fills the Food Box with yummy hot dogs and loads it in the car. Fenway is thrilled that he gets to go along where ever they are going, and is even more excited when they arrive in the wilderness with tons of new scents to investigate, dogs and humans to meet, and lots of meat cooking over fires. Hattie seems excited about it all, too, and happy her friend Angel also came, but when more families arrive with lots of new kids, she smells nervous again. Especially when one certain kid that all the others seem to follow everywhere starts bossing everyone around. Fenway can sympathize, because a tiny dog is doing the same thing to all the other dogs. Fitting in can be a tough business, but luckily both Fenway and Hattie come around to realizing that being true to themselves is much more important.

Feral Creatures
by Kira Jane BuxtonIn this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero"is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald).Once upon an apocalypse, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . . . When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. That is, dear reader, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do? Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.Includes a Reading Group Guide.
Ferdinand, The Man with the Kind Heart: A Novel
by Irmgard KeunThe last novel from the acclaimed author of The Artificial Silk Girl, this 1950 classic paints a delightfully shrewd portrait of postwar German society. Upon his release from a prisoner-of-war camp, Ferdinand Timpe returns somewhat uneasily to civilian life in Cologne. Having survived against the odds, he is now faced with a very different sort of dilemma: How to get rid of his fiancée? Although he certainly doesn&’t love the mild-mannered Luise, Ferdinand is too considerate to break off the engagement himself, so he sets about finding her a suitable replacement husband—no easy task given Luise&’s high standards and those of her father, formerly a proud middle-ranking Nazi official.Featuring a lively cast of characters—from Ferdinand&’s unscrupulous landlady with her black-market schemes to his beguiling cousin Johanna and the many loves of her life—Ferdinand captures a distinct moment in Germany&’s history, when its people were coming to terms with World War II and searching for a way forward. In Irmgard Keun&’s effervescent prose, the story feels remarkably modern.

Fermans Devals: Author’s Intended Edition (Pembroke Hall Universe)
by Joe Clifford FaustIgnored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels Ferman's Devils and Boddekker's Demons were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene.Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers.In Fermans Devals you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants – except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake.This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe.REVIEWS FOR FERMAN'S DEVILS“A superior entertainment… [Ferman's Devils] may well turn out to be one of the funniest SF satires of recent years, as well as one of the most intelligently plotted and convincingly detailed.” - Locus“Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good.” - Starlog“A hilarious journey into the advertising world of the not-too-distant future.” - Fantasy And Science FictionREVIEWS FOR BODDEKKER'S DEMONS“Fulfills the promise of Ferman's Devils, and the whole Boddekker saga can now take its place as the most important advertising satire since The Space Merchants… a mean piece of work, and it’s a delicious meanness.” - Locus"Boddekker's Demons makes for very light and enjoyable reading." - SF Site Reviews"Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good." – Starlog

Fern and Horn
by Marie-Louise GayFern and Horn look like two peas in a pod, but they have very different ways of seeing the world, in this joyful picture book about creativity by renowned author and illustrator Marie-Louise Gay. Fern loves to draw flowers and butterflies, birds and bees, caterpillars and orange trees. Horn wants to draw too, but he thinks his flowers look like purple pancakes and his caterpillars like striped socks. “Draw whatever you want!” Fern tells him. Horn draws an enormous elephant that tramples all over her pictures. Fortunately, Fern’s imagination is as big as the universe. She loves gazing at the stars and cutting out star shapes. Again, Horn tries to follow suit, but he is frustrated with his creations and makes a ferocious paper polar bear that devours Fern’s stars. Undeterred, Fern decides to build a castle that can withstand elephants and polar bears, but a fire-breathing dragon comes along. Luckily, Fern knows exactly what dragons like best … Illustrations full of vibrant color and collage bring to life a story about the endless imagination and creative energy of young children. Marie-Louise Gay suggests that if children are given the time and space to explore the many paths to creativity, the results are brilliant and inspiring.

Fernando Morales Votre mort en direct !
by Francesco Verso Gaëlle GuilleaumeDans un futur où le marché de la mort n’a plus aucune limite, un vieil homme décide de mourir en direct à la télévision devant des millions de spectateurs. Cette nouvelle poignante et cynique dénonce l’ironie et la cruauté de la télévision et le manque de scrupules de ses producteurs quand une émission de téléréalité ne sait plus quoi inventer pour faire de l’audimat. Elle nous rappelle également de ne pas jouer avec une mort qui viendra de toute façon pour chacun de nous. Votre mort en direct a déjà été adaptée en pièce de théâtre par Katiuscia Magliarisi et Chiara Condrò, accompagné par la musique de Simone De Filippis.
Fernando Morales, Esta É a Sua Morte!
by Francesco Verso Clara FerreiraO mercado da morte não tem limites. Mas o que pode um homem velho com uma vida normal - para não dizer trivial - fazer para tornar a sua morte um acontecimento digno de ser imortalizado na frente de milhões de pessoas? Nesta encantadora, comovente história que permite descobrir o lado irónico invulgar de Francesco Verso: a ironia afiada e macabra que nos fala sobre a televisão e a crueldade e falta de escrúpulos por parte dos seus operadores; uma história que revela o que pode acontecer num reality show, quando os participantes não sabem mais o que inventar e nos ensinam como, no final, a morte não é o mesmo para todas as pessoas, e que é melhor não brincar com ela. "Fernando Morales, Esta É a Sua Morte" foi adaptado a um jogo e encenado no espectáculo de "A Via Láctea" por Katiuscia Magliarisi e Chiara Condrò, com uma música de Simone de Filippis. O que eles dizem acerca de "Fernando Morales, Esta É a Sua Morte": "É verdade que chega um momento na vida em que estamos todos no mesmo nível? Certamente há diferentes formas de falecer, numa sala privada de uma clínica de luxo ou numa grande sala de um hospital gasto com cerca de cem camas em que existe presença de ratos e baratas devido à acumulação de lixo... E, em seguida, mais tarde, túmulos decorados com mármore preciso ou esculturas refinadas, urnas feitas com a melhor madeira e funerais em cemitérios que se opõem a caixas de contraplacado em buracos cavados com escavadoras onde apenas um quadrado de papelão permite a um infeliz dormir lá. E depois existem cadáveres congelados à espera de serem despertados quando a ciência tiver feito progresso suficiente para os trazer de volta à vida e espaços funerários repletos com urnas e naves espaciais em órbita ao redor da Terra ou viajar para Andrómeda." - Alda Teodorani
Fernando Morales: ¡esta es tu muerte!
by Francesco Verso Lorenzo Bermejo ThomasEl mercado de la muerte no tiene fronteras. ¿Qué puede hacer un anciano que lleva una vida normal --por no decir trivial-- para convertir su muerte en un evento que lo inmortalice delante de millones de personas? En este relato agridulce descubrimos el lado histriónico de Francesco Verso: con macabra ironía nos habla de la televisión y de la crueldad y falta de escrúpulos de sus operadores; nos cuenta lo que ocurre cuando no sabemos qué inventar y nos enseña que la muerte, al fin y al cabo, no es igual para todos, por lo que es mejor no jugar con ella. "Fernando Morales, ¡esta es tu muerte!" ha sido teatralizado y representado en el programa "The Milky Way" por Katiuscia Magliarisi y Chiara Condrò, con música de Simone De Filippis. De esta obra, se ha comentado: "¿Es verdad que llega un momento en la vida en que todos retornamos al mismo nivel? Desde luego, hay distintas maneras de morir: en la habitación privada de una clínica de lujo o en la sala compartida de un hospital del tercer mundo con el sótano lleno de ratas y cucarachas... y después, hay tumbas decoradas con mármol y esculturas refinadas, ataúdes fabricados de maderas nobles enterrados en cementerios con praderas, por contraposición a las cajas de madera con un pedazo de cartón que las excavadoras entierran en fosas comunes. Y también tenemos esos cadáveres criogenizados esperando a ser despertados cuando la ciencia haya progresado lo suficiente para devolverles la vida, o los funerales en el espacio con un ataúd y una nave espacial en órbita o viajando hacia Andrómeda". - Alda Teodorani "Francesco Verso emplea a propósito un estilo sobrio y poco empático para destacar la banalidad del personaje. Creo que este mismo elemento me llevó a reflexionar sobre un estado del que reniego, pero que es mi próximo horizonte". Roberto Nicoletti en Pensiero Libero

Festival & Game of the Worlds
by César AiraOddly twinned masterpieces by one of the greatest fabulists of any age: past, present, or 40,000 years in the future In Festival, the genius postmodern sci-fi filmmaker Alec Steryx is the star guest of a film festival in an unnamed country. But he’s brought a surprise: his nonagenarian mother. Everyone is baffled: Why? Half-blind and terminally cranky, she does nothing but complain, despite insisting on attending every screening and reception. As Steryx’s mother gums up the works for the festival organizers, larger problems are in store … A delightfully baroque comedy of errors, Festival, is, all at once, a loving parody of the institutions that support artists, a meditation on postmodern art, and a propulsive, lyrical, surreal adventure. In the far, far, future, a middle-aged father has fallen behind the times. Bemused and disturbed, he watches his children play the eponymous Game of the Worlds, a Total Reality war game that involves the annihilation of countless alien civilizations—which are at least as real as the narrator’s own. As he debates the ethics of the game, struggles with his home’s “intelligent system,” and fumblingly manipulates his Discourse Corrector (a dead ringer for ChatGPT) on virtual beachside dates, an errant thought threatens to set a world-ending chain of logic into motion: the return of the Idea of God… Epic and domestic, madcap and musing by turns, this prescient novel reads like a message in a bottle from a bewitchingly strange yet all-too familiar future.

Fever Beach: A Novel
by Carl HiaasenAnother instant classic from Carl Hiaasen—laugh-out-loud funny, tackling the current chaotic and polarized American culture (following in the path of Squeeze Me), with two wonderful Hiaasen heroes&“The afternoon of September first, dishwater-gray and rainy, a man named Dale Figgo picked up a hitchhiker on Gus Grissom Boulevard in Tangelo Shores, Florida. The hitchhiker, who reminded Figgo of Danny DeVito, asked for a lift to the interstate. Figgo said he&’d take him there after finishing an errand.&”Thus begins Fever Beach, with an errand that leads—in pure Hiaasen-style—into the depths of Florida at its most Floridian: a sun-soaked bastion of right-wing extremism, white power, greed, and corruption. Figgo, it turns out, is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. On January 6, 2021 he thought he was defacing a statue of Ulysses S. Grant, but he wound up spreading feces all over a statue of James Zacharia George, a Civil War Confederate war leader.Figgo's already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries. Viva Morales is a newly transplanted Floridian, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the Mink Foundation, a supposedly philanthropic organization, and renting a room in Figgo&’s apartment because there&’s no place else she can afford. Twilly Spree has an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment, and way too many inherited millions of dollars. He's living alone a year after his dog died, two years after he sank a city councilman&’s party barge, and three years after his divorce.Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery—involving dark money and darker motives—they are determined to solve, and become entangled in a world populated by some of Hiaasen&’s most outrageous characters: Claude and Electra Mink—billionaire philanthropists with way too much plastic surgery and a secret right-wing agenda—and Congressman Clure Boyette—who dreams of being Florida&’s (and maybe America&’s) most important politician. The only things standing in his way are his love for hookers and young girls, and his total lack of intelligence. We meet Noel Kristianson—a Scandinavian agnostic injured when Figgo thinks he&’s a Jewish threat to humanity and runs him over with his car; Jonas Onus—Figgo&’s partner in white power idiocy; and many, many more. Hiaasen ties them all together and delivers them to their appropriate fates, in his wildest and most entertaining novel to date.
