This simple, lyrical picture book is as warm, reassuring, and filled with joy as a vacation at the beach. <p><p>Readers will join a little girl and her siblings as they wind down from a perfect day—hanging up towels, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed—each activity sparking a memory of their day—playing catch with the dog, chasing waves, and looking at sailboats along the shore.

A Luminous Republic
by Andrés BarbaA "captivating" novel from a Spanish literary star about the arrival of feral children to a tropical city in Argentina, and the quest to stop them from pulling the place into chaos (Boston Globe).San Cristóbal was an unremarkable city—small, newly prosperous, contained by rain forest and river. But then the children arrived. No one knew where they came from: thirty-two kids, seemingly born of the jungle, speaking an unknown language. At first they scavenged, stealing food and money and absconding to the trees. But their transgressions escalated to violence, and then the city’s own children began defecting to join them. Facing complete collapse, municipal forces embark on a hunt to find the kids before the city falls into irreparable chaos. Narrated by the social worker who led the hunt, A Luminous Republic is a suspenseful, anguished fable that “could be read as Lord of the Flies seen from the other side, but that would rob Barba of the profound originality of his world” (Juan Gabriel Vásquez)."Wholly compelling.” —Colm Tóibín

The scene is set for seductive, playful Luke to begin a flirtation with Jack, soothing his fragile ego. When new fires break out all over town, targeting rescue personnel, clues point to someone close to Jack. He survived one fire, but he might not be so lucky next time.

A Luz de Tina
by Richard Stooker Catia A. G. FernandesVinte e um anos depois, Paul Templeton ainda não sabe se no seu antigo sonho é ele quem viola e assassina a sua própria irmã. O assassino talhante escapa. Os pesadelos torturam Paul. Se não foi ele quem assassinou Tina, como pôde ele testemunhar o assassinato, sonhar que assistiu a tudo através de um espelho? Agora, uma bela jovem vem viver para o bairro, lembrando-lhe Tina. Estará também o assassino atrás dela? Embora Paul nunca tenha tocado em Tina de outra forma além da fraternal, ama-a como mulher. Enquanto ela esteve viva e 21 anos depois da sua morte macabra. Agora, um homem de negócios tailandês, acompanhado pela sua bela filha Khamnah, vem viver para o bairro de Paul. Khamnah tem tantas semelhanças com Tina, e isso magoa Paul. Também ela tem o brilho da luz do Mundo Oculto, o universo espiritual transcendente onde vive Tina. A luz brilhante do coração e da personalidade de Khamnah ajuda Paul a ignorar os escárnios céticos do psiquiatra Jack Harrison. Mas não consegue esquecer a ameaça do violador talhante que é procurado pela polícia. Dez mulheres nos últimos cinco meses. Um modus operandi similar ao do assassino de Tina, há 21 anos atrás. Paul teme pela vida de Khamnah, pois receia que a história se possa repetir. Nessa noite, sonha novamente, mas não é a cara de Tina que vê no espelho. Em vez disso, vê Khamnah sentada a escovar o cabelo, enquanto o assassino entra. Este conto NÃO é para si se: 1. Fica incomodado com referências a sexualidade "desviante". 2. Não consegue lidar com uma descrição não-gratuita de violação e assassinato. 3. Procura um conto erótico explícito para alimentar as suas próprias fantasias "desviantes". 4. Não quiser considerar as fronteiras entre a fantasia e a realidade, e entre a obsessão emocional e os poderes psíquicos. 5. Prefere histórias sobre pessoas "normais". (Embora,
