Taken in by a tavern-owner, she is haunted by the horrific events that drove her from her home years before. Evelyn is forced to face her past when two wayward children, Raif and Rose Huntsman, arrive at the tavern, pursued by Commune soldiers. The children fall under Evelyn's reluctant care as the trio narrowly escape a raid. Relentlessly hunted by Commander Jonah Sulemon and Commune agent Lord Eirik Torrant, Evelyn and Raif cannot fathom why they pose such a threat to the Commune, until six-year-old Rose unwittingly reveals a terrible secret: she possesses powers more fearsome than any the Commune has unearthed in decades. There are only two options: to be captured and imprisoned, or to run for the rest of their lives. They hurtle feverishly through the countryside, barely evading Commune attacks, and inadvertently finding themselves in the middle of a growing rebellion against the Commune's oppressive regime.

Away We Go
by Emil Ostrovski“A lyrical, raucous narrative interspersed with flyers, posters, and letters…the oscillation between [Noah’s] heartfelt interior thoughts and sometimes careless actions and words is both moving and infuriating-in other words, vividly human. An intelligent, thought-provoking exploration of living in spite of futility.” — Booklist (starred review)“Intellectual boys’ boarding school story meets near-future dystopia in this end-times tale. …Noah and his friends form loving, believably complex relationships…witty.” — Kirkus Reviews“Noah is a nihilistic existentialist to the world, but inside he’s searching for something to reassure him that he is truly alive. His search for meaning is universal and will resonate with readers beginning to question their future.” — School Library Journal“The complex organization of this novel requires careful attention…Even so, brainy readers who want to see just how grim Holden Caulfield would get if he knew he was dying soon will find this to be a pretty accurate approximation.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Azar on Fire
by Olivia AbtahiFinding her voice takes on a whole new meaning when fourteen-year-old Azar Rossi sets out to win her local Battle of the Bands contest in this heartfelt and hilarious contemporary YA.Fourteen-year-old Azar Rossi&’s first year of high school has mostly been silent, and intentionally so. After a bad case of colic as a baby, Azar&’s vocal folds are shredded—full of nodules that give her a rasp the envy of a chain-smoking bullfrog. Her classmates might just think she&’s quiet, but Azar is saving her voice for when it really counts and talking to her classmates is not medically advisable or even high on her list.When she hears about a local Battle of the Bands contest, it&’s something she can&’t resist. Azar loves music, loves songwriting, but with her vocal folds the way they are, there's no way she can sing her songs on stage. Then she hears lacrosse hottie, Ebenezer Lloyd Hollins the Fifth, aka Eben, singing from the locker room. She&’s transfixed. He's just the person she needs. His voice + her lyrics = Battle of the Bands magic. But getting a band together means Azar has a lot of talking to do and new friends to make. For the chance to stand on stage with Eben it might all just be worth it.

La chiamavano la principessa addormentata, la Bella Addormentata. Anche ora, dopo anni, sui giornali si parla solo di lei. Mio padre, il re, è una nota a margine, e io sono un dettaglio insignificante nella mia stessa vita, condannata a essere per sempre la figlia della Bella Addormentata.

Azul profundo (Matices #Volumen 1)
by Martinez Vila, AlbaLa vida adolescente es un caos. Fiestas, exámenes, campamentos. Y dos ojos azules que arrasan hasta con las creencias más arraigadas... El primer amor es siempre una aventura. Hey, vosotros. Antes de leer nada, tened en cuenta dos cosas. Tomáoslo como una advertencia de contenido sensible o una señal roja del tamaño de vuestra cabeza para que salgáis corriendo. Como queráis. Una, me llamo Alan Morgan y, aunque tengo sangre escocesa, soy inglés de pura cepa. Tengo un certificado que lo demuestra. Mis amigos son los mayores capullos del mundo y pasamos la vida jugando a la Play. Los adoro, obvio. Me pirran las tortitas, la pizza con piña y el WoW. Soy alérgico a las nueces y a cierto pijo de ojos azules con el que no paro de cruzarme. Dos, lo que ocurre en la historia es una estupidez. ¿A quién se le ocurre hablar de un campamento de verano para críos? ¿Eh? La originalidad, escasa. Y mucho más si añadimos que yo creía ser hetero, pero al final resultó que... no del todo. O, mejor dicho, nada de nada. (La culpa de todo la tuvo el susodicho pijo de ojos azules). El caso es que todo lo que vais a leer es una gilipollez. Tío, que menciono a Simba de El Rey León en los pies de página. En serio, cerrad el libro ahora que podéis. Id al campo a coger amapolas, salid con los amigos a algún bar y olvidaos de mí. Tal y como dijo un hombre mucho más sabio que yo: «corred, insensatos».

BIG LIES: From Socrates To Social Media
by Mark Kurlansky Eric ZelzA KIRKUS' SELECTION FOR BEST TEEN & YA NONFICTION 2022 NAMED ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Impassioned, thorough, and brilliant: describes the struggle for truth that “keeps the world from descending into chaos.” PW HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2022 selection https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/new-titles/childrens-announcements/article/90478-holiday-gift-guide-2022-children-s-and-ya.html In his new book for young readers Mark Kurlansky’s lens is the art of the “big lie,” a term coined by Adolf Hitler. Kurlansky has written Big Lies: From Socrates to social media for the next stewards of our world. It is not only a history but a how-to manual for seeing through big lies and thinking critically. Mark Kurlansky’s bestselling works of nonfiction view the history of the world through unexpected lenses, including cod, salt, and paper. In this new book for young readers his lens is the art of the big lie. Big lies are told by governments, politicians, and corporations to avoid responsibility, cast blame on the innocent, win elections, disguise intent, create chaos, and gain power and wealth. Big lies are as old as civilization. They corrupt public understanding and discourse, turn science upside down, and reinvent history. They prevent humanity from addressing critical challenges. They perpetuate injustices. They destabilize the world. As with his book World Without Fish, Kurlansky has written A History of Big Lies for young readers, the future stewards of our world. It is not only a history but a how-to manual for seeing through big lies and thinking critically. “I hope that you will keep asking yourself what is true as you read this book and live your life,” he entreats readers at the outset. “If the Age of Enlightenment is not to be followed by the Age of Chaos, we have to think for ourselves.” A History of Big Lies soars across history, alighting on the “noble lies” of Socrates and Plato, Nero blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, the great injustices of the Middle Ages, the big lies of Stalin and Hitler and their terrible consequences, and the reckless lies of contemporary demagogues, which are amplified through social media. Lies against women and Jews are two examples in the long history of “othering” the vulnerable for personal gain. Nor does America escape Kurlansky’s equal-opportunity spotlight. The modern age has provided ever-more-effective ways of spreading lies, but it has also given us the scientific method, which is the most effective tool for finding what is true. In the book’s final chapter, Kurlansky reveals ways to deconstruct an allegation. Is there credible, testable evidence to support it? If not, suspect a lie. A scientific theory has to be testable, and so does an allegation. Who is the source? Who benefits? Is there a money trail? Especially in the age of social media, critical thinking counters lies and chaos. “Belief is a choice,” Kurlansky writes, “and honesty begins in each of us. A lack of caring what is true or false is the undoing of democracy. The alternative to truth is a corrupt state in which the loudest voices and most seductive lies confer power and wealth on grifters and oligarchs. We cannot achieve a healthy planet for all the world’s people if we do not keep asking what is true.”
