Dagboek van Julia Jones - Boek 1 'Mijn ergste dag ooit!' (Dagboek van Julia Jones #1)
by Katrina Kahler Bianca BoddeHet laatste wat ik mij herinner is de blik van afschuw op de gezichten van het publiek. Maar ik voelde me het meest vernederd toen ik Blake Jansen zag, de coolste jongen uit onze klas, die me vol ongeloof aanstaarde. Als ik aan die avond denk schaam ik me nog steeds. Iedereen zei dat ik geluk heb gehad, omdat ik er alleen maar een lichte hersenschudding en een enorme bult op mijn hoofd aan over heb gehouden. Maar het ongemak dat ik voelde omdat ik het lachtertje van de hele school was, stond vers in mijn geheugen gegrift. Ik probeer die hele dag te vergeten, het voor altijd uit mijn geheugen te wissen, maar nu komt het steeds terug en jaagt het achter me aan. Sukkel met een hoofdletter S! Ik geloof nog steeds niet alles wat er is gebeurd op die noodlottige dag. Als het alleen maar een nachtmerrie was kon ik gewoon wakker worden en er nooit meer aan denken. Maar helaas is dat niet het geval! Mam zegt dat de tijd alle wonden heelt en dat iedereen het incident waarschijnlijk allang is vergeten, maar ik denk dat het nog heel lang duurt voordat ik eroverheen ben. Op de één of andere manier verdenk ik dat ene meisje uit de klas ervan dat ze er iets mee te maken had. Noem het een onderbuikgevoel, maar ik heb een donkerbruin vermoeden dat ze erbij betrokken was.

Dagger and Coin
by Kathy MacMillan"Rich in politics, intrigue, and betrayal, Dagger and Coin is a complex feminist fantasy featuring a tough and prickly ex-princess that I couldn't help but adore."—Heidi Heilig, author of The Girl from EverywhereThe sequel to Sword and Verse follows a familiar face—Soraya—as she attempts to rebuild a nation after the downfall of the monarchy. Readers who love Rae Carson and Kristen Cashore won’t be able to put this fantasy down.Soraya Gamo was meant to be queen of Qilara, until an Arnath slave rebellion upended the social order and destroyed the capital city.

As she helps to rebuild Qilara, she can, at last, use what everyone once told her to hide: her brain.But not everyone is ready to accept that the Arnathim are no longer enslaved to the Qilarites. So when a slave ship arrives in the city, full of Arnathim captured before Qilara fell, the civil unrest that has been bubbling since the rebellion erupts.Forced to confront her own prejudices, Soraya struggles to gain the trust of the Arnath people she once disregarded and establish peace in what has become chaos. With the threat of attacks high, Gelti, a former guard captain, trains Soraya in self-defense. As the two grow close, tension within the city ramps up, with danger, betrayal, and deception meeting Soraya everywhere she turns.Friends become foes, adversaries become companions, and the clashing of classes threatens to unravel all the good Soraya has been trying to do. Can Soraya, raised to be a submissive Qilarite lady, learn to be a true leader? Or will the sins of her past forever haunt the footsteps of her future?

by Lucius ShepardLucius Shepard is a grand master of dark fantasy, famed for his baroque yet utterly contemporary visions of existential subversion and hallucinatory collapse.

"Abimagique" - a glib college loser falls in love with a witch, becoming an involuntary part of a world-saving - or world-destroying - magical ritual."The Lepidopertrist" - a small boy on a Caribbean island witnesses the creation of preternatural beings by a Yankee wizard..."Dagger Key" - off the coast of Belize, the ghost of a famous pirate seems to control a spiral of murder and intrigue; or is someone else responsible?
