Claudia's Book (Baby-Sitters Club Portrait Collection)
by Ann M. MartinFrom the bestselling author of the generation-defining series The Baby-sitters Club comes a series for a new generation!Ugh. So this is my autobiography. All the eighth-graders at SMS have to write one. Even though I'm not good at writing, it's been cool remembering when I was little. I have lots of good memories of growing up here on Bradford Court, across the street from my friends Kristy and Mary Anne. Like my sixth birthday. First it was good, then it was bad, then it was good again. And the time I was afraid of the tooth fairy! I probably won't get an A on this assignment. I never do. But I have to admit that this is one project that's actually been fun.

A Cláusula Familiar
by Jonas Hassen KhemiriUm retrato magistral sobre memória, identidade e família. Vencedor do Prémio Médicis 2021 Finalista do National Book Award Duas vezes por ano, um «pai que também é avô» regressa à Suécia para cuidar dos seus interesses e visitar a filha e o filho, que abandonou. Este avô é uma pessoa difícil, ocasionalmente preconceituosa, constantemente crítica, e a sua visita parece ser mais motivada por questões práticas do que por afeto: um acordo tácito vincula o filho a ocupar-se dele a cada regresso e a manter um apartamento em seu nome, para assim ele poder escapar-se aos impostos no seu país de origem. Mas agora que este filho se tornou também pai, debatendo-se com o cansaço de uma licença de paternidade, a sua vontade é libertar-se dessa «cláusula familiar». Também a irmã, já mãe e novamente grávida, está a contas com a vida. Serão dez conturbados dias de visita que obrigarão cada um dos membros desta família a enfrentar os fantasmas do passado e as tensões do presente. Escrito com humor e um olhar atento, A Cláusula Familiar é o retrato divertido, doloroso e verdadeiro das relações familiares nas nossas sociedades modernas e multiétnicas, nas quais um forte desejo de individualismo se conjuga com os valores ancestrais de identidade e pertença. «Sagaz e simples, e com uma grandiosidade escondida nos pequenos detalhes, A Cláusula Familiar é não só o melhor romance de Khemiri como um dos pontos altos do ano.» EXPRESSEN «Um romance que atravessa fronteiras e diferentes perspetivas, descrevendo com olhar penetrante os gestos dramáticos, muitas vezes cómicos, que nos definem enquanto indivíduos e membros de uma família.» JÚRI DO NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Claws of Life
by Mike StoreyThe Teddycats are safe in Horizon Cove, but making it in the big jungle is even harder than they thought.The Teddycats made it out of Cloud Kingdom with nary a scratch, and it's all thanks to our hero, Bill. But adjusting to life in Horizon Cove isn't exactly easy, and the fact that the Teddycats know next to nothing about surviving in the wild doesn't help. Everyone's looking to Bill for guidance, but he's not exactly a wilderness expert himself. So what's a young Teddycat to do? Lucky for Bill, the Teddycats aren't the only animals in Horizon Cove: their new neighbors are a flock of odd but hospitable tropical birds who call themselves the Pets. The Pets are more than happy to help The Teddycats adjust to life in the jungle. They even agree to be their pampered new friends' survival coaches until the rainy season starts and they have to fly off to a drier climate. But then the telltale signs of rains come and go, and the Pets are nowhere near ready to leave. Bill doesn't want to rush his new friends, but the Teddycats could really use some more space to build dens permanent enough to withstand the rains. So he decides to investigate. And what he discovers is more chilling than the contents of even the meanest poacher's hunting bag. The Pets aren't who—or what—they say they are. And if Bill can't convince the Teddycats not to hang around any longer to find out the whole truth, they'll lose more than just their home. They'll lose everything.
