by Ta MooreCloister Witte is a man with a dark past and a cute dog. He’s happy to talk about the dog all day, but after growing up in the shadow of a missing brother, a deadbeat dad, and a criminal stepfather, he’d rather leave the past back in Montana. These days he’s a K-9 officer in the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and pays a tithe to his ghosts by doing what no one was able to do for his brother—find the missing and bring them home. He’s good at solving difficult mysteries. The dog is even better. This time the missing person is a ten-year-old boy who walked into the woods in the middle of the night and didn’t come back. With the antagonistic help of distractingly handsome FBI agent Javi Merlo, it quickly becomes clear that Drew Hartley didn’t run away. He was taken, and the evidence implies he’s not the kidnapper’s first victim. As the search intensifies, old grudges and tragedies are pulled into the light of day. But with each clue they uncover, it looks less and less likely that Drew will be found alive.

Bone Worship
by Elizabeth EslamiA rich and soul-searching novel about an Iranian-American girl whose enigmatic father has decided to arrange her marriage Jasmine Fahroodhi's Iranian father has always fascinated her. With his strange habits and shrouded past, she cannot fathom how he ended up marrying her prim American mother, although lately it seems that love in general is just as incomprehensible. Failing out of school just shy of graduation after a disastrous romance sends her into a tailspin, a conflicted Jasmine returns home without any idea where her life is headed. Her father has at least one idea: he has plans for a hastegar, an arranged marriage, between Jasmine and whatever man he sees fit. Confused, furious, yet intrigued, Jasmine meets suitor after suitor with increasingly disastrous, and humorous, results. Only when she begins to open herself up to the mysteries of familial and romantic love does Jasmine discover the truth about her evasive father--and the depths of her own strength--in Elizabeth Eslami's highly original and striking debut novel.
A boneca de Kokoschka
by Afonso CruzEsta é uma história sobre a importância do outro. Os destinos cruzados deste romance iluminam o modo como as nossas relações, encontros, criações e circunstâncias formam a nossa identidade, nos fazem crescer e nos permitem, um dia, percebendo que a porta da nossa gaiola está aberta, abrir as asas e, sem recear a liberdade, conquistar um pouco de céu. «Não existe mentira na literatura, na ficção, e, digo-lhe mais, não existe verdade na vida real.» Durante a segunda guerra mundial, em Dresden, um rapaz judeu chamado Isaac esconde-se na cave de uma loja de pássaros. Sobrevivendo às toneladas de bombas que caem sobre a cidade, Isaac Dresner construirá a sua vida à volta dos livros, recuperará histórias e fará nascer outras. Mostra assim como acontecimentos fortuitos, inusitados ou insignificantes - entre eles, a existência da boneca de Kokoschka - são tão cruciais para tecer os nossos destinos quanto aqueles que, pela imponência, julgamos serem os únicos fundamentais. «Numa loja de pássaros é onde se concentram mais gaiolas. Não há lugar nenhum no mundo construído com tantas restrições como uma loja de pássaros. São gaiolas por todo o lado. E algumas estão dentro dos pássaros e não por fora, como as pessoas imaginam. Porque Bonifaz Vogel, muitas vezes, abrira as portas das gaiolas sem que os canários fugissem. Os pássaros ficavam encolhidos a um canto, tentando evitar olhar para aquela porta aberta, desviavam os olhos da liberdade, que é uma das portas mais assustadoras. Só se sentiam livres dentro de uma prisão. A gaiola estava dentro deles. A outra, a de metal ou madeira, era apenas uma metáfora.» Sobre A boneca de Kokoschka: «Como um mestre joalheiro, Afonso Cruz conseguiu, em A boneca de Kokoschka, uma peça de arte e a proeza de, em cada página, nos oferecer pérolas perfeitas.» Pedro Justino Alves, Diário Digital «Uma estrutura magnífica de inventividade estética.» Miguel Real, Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias «Um delirante e muito sensato exercício da imaginação e do virtuosismo em volta da relação fun(da)cional entre o Eu e o Outro.» Eugenio Fuentes, La Nueva España

But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis'Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality. <p> <b>Winner of the 2016 Alex Award (10 best adult books that appeal to teen audiences)</b>

by Ana E. GuevaraCon esta nueva novela, Ana E. Guevara, nos invita a viajar al barrio bohemio de Lyon, para vivir una historia de amor que se va cociendo a fuego lento, como el soufflé, y que es más fuerte que las confusiones culturales. Ana ha dejado España para irse a buscar una mejor oportunidad laboral en Francia. Aterriza en Lyon, concretamente en el barrio de Croix Rousse, donde habitan los artistas y bohemios de la ciudad. Unos vecinos de lo más disparatados recibirán a Ana con los brazos abiertos y los oídos también, porque ser cotilla no es incompatible con ser buena persona. Sébastien es panadero y vive solo con su perro Chocolat disfrutando del esquí y de las películas de los años 80. No tiene especialmente tiempo para el amor, y desde luego no es una de sus prioridades. Hasta que una mujer de acento cantarín y costumbres extrañas entra en su vida para ponerla patas arriba. El frío y la lluvia francesa no saben tan mal cuando pueden pelearse con el calor de la pasión española y con unos buenos croissants. Lo que comienza de forma accidental acaba transformándose en una historia de amor capaz de unir dos personas y dos culturas que parecían irreconciliables.
