In Traitor to the Throne, the only certainty is that everything will change. <P>Rebel of the Sands was a New York Times bestseller, published in fifteen countries and the recipient of four starred reviews and multiple accolades. But its sequel is even better.

Traição entre Lobisomens
by Vianka Van Bokkem Fabrício Lopes RochaMeus pais e eu pertencíamos ao clã lobisomem de Sergei. Nós morávamos perto da fronteira entre Rússia e Alasca. Quando Sergei, nosso macho alfa , anunciou que estava levando o clã para o Alasca, fiquei confusa. Nosso novo vilarejo parecia o mesmo em que morávamos na Rússia. Alguns meses mais tarde, eu estava à caça de linces, leões da montanha, alces e ursos polares. Uma noite, senti vontade de ir para meu local favorito, próximo ao rio; saí furtivamente da cabana onde meus pais estavam dormindo. Eu me transformei em lobisomem fêmea e comecei a correr em direção ao rio. A neve recém-caída me me fez muito feliz. Meia hora mais tarde, cheguei ao meu destino: uma das minhas árvores prediletas tinha um buraco na parte inferior, e eu guardava roupas de frio ali. Quando terminei de me vestir, eu escalei a árvore e me sentei em um de seus galhos. Caía neve das àrvores à minha volta; o rio estava congelado mas, mesmo assim, eu ainda gostava dele. Um par de coelhos fazia buracos por perto. Eu era meio que uma solitária, e meu comportamento era visto como estranho pelos outros, mas não para mim. De repente, ouvi um vozerio e risadas. Eu avistei uma garota morena fugindo de um grupo de garotos. Ela era extremamente rápida; segundos depois, o aroma de lobisomem fêmea me indicou sua localização.

This could be her chance to help save her family in Poland.Soon, she's swept from the basement of an Ivy League engineering school, to the desert of California, to an Army Air Corps base at Pearl Harbor, and finally she takes to the skies above the South Pacific.But before she can solve this complicated problem, she must learn to unlock a bigger mystery: herself.Critically acclaimed author of The Poetry of Secrets, Cambria Gordon weaves an extraordinary story of remarkable courage and the will to unearth our deepest secrets, based on previously undiscovered true events.Advance praise for Trajectory:A Sydney Taylor Honor Book"Cambria Gordon's careful attention to setting and detail brings an unknown and surprising history vividly to life-and draws thought-provoking parallels to the present." -Amanda McCrina, author of Traitor and The Silent Unseen"Hidden Figures meets Code Name Verity in Trajectory, a richly detailed historical novel about Eleanor, a gifted female mathematician under pressure to get the results of her calculations right at the height of World War II.

Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard
by Alex BertieI guess we should start at the beginning. I was born on 2 November 1995. The doctors in the hospital took one look at my genitals and slapped an F on my birth certificate. 'F' for female, not fail - though that would actually have been kind of appropriate given present circumstances.When I was 15, I realised I was a transgender man. That makes it sound like I suddenly had some kind of lightbulb moment. In reality, coming to grips with my identity has taken a long time. Over the last six years, I've come out to my family and friends, changed my name, battled the healthcare system, started taking male hormones and have had surgery on my chest. My quest to a beard is almost complete. This is my story.

Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults (Children's Literature and Culture #Vol. 13)
by Sandra L. BeckettTranscending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults is a collection of essays on twentieth-century authors who cross the borders between adult and children's literature and appeal to both audiences. This collection of fourteen essays by scholars from eight countries constitutes the first book devoted to the art of crosswriting the child and adult in twentieth-century international literature. Sandra Beckett explores the multifaceted nature of crossover literature and the diverse ways in which writers cross the borders to address a dual readership of children and adults. It considers classics such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Pinocchio, with particular emphasis on post-World War II literature. The essays in Transcending Boundaries clearly suggest that crossover literature is a major, widespread trend that appears to be sharply on the rise.
Transdisciplinary Perspectives on Childhood in Contemporary Britain: Literature, Media and Society (Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present)
by Ralf Schneider Sandra DinterIn the light of the complex demographic shifts associated with late modernity and the impetus of neo-liberal politics, childhood continues all the more to operate as a repository for the articulation of diverse social and cultural anxieties. Since the Thatcher years, juvenile delinquency, child poverty, and protection have been persistent issues in public discourse. Simultaneously, childhood has advanced as a popular subject in the arts, as the wealth of current films and novels in this field indicates. Focusing on the late twentieth and the early twenty-first centuries, this collection assembles contributions concerned with current political, social, and cultural dimensions of childhood in the United Kingdom. The individual chapters, written by internationally renowned experts from the social sciences and the humanities, address a broad spectrum of contemporary childhood issues, including debates on child protection, school dress codes, the media, the representation and construction of children in audiovisual media, and literary awards for children’s fiction. Appealing to a wide scholarly audience by joining perspectives from various disciplines, including art history, education, law, film and TV studies, sociology, and literary studies, this volume endorses a transdisciplinary and meta-theoretical approach to the study of childhood. It seeks to both illustrate and dismantle the various ways in which childhood has been implicitly and explicitly conceived in different disciplines in the wake of the constructivist paradigm shift in childhood studies.

Will she defy her father to protect them, even if it means costing him the election?

Transforming Girls: The Work of Nineteenth-Century Adolescence (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Julie PfeifferTransforming Girls: The Work of Nineteenth-Century Adolescence explores the paradox of the nineteenth-century girls’ book. On the one hand, early novels for adolescent girls rely on gender binaries and suggest that girls must accommodate and support a patriarchal framework to be happy. On the other, they provide access to imagined worlds in which teens are at the center. The early girls’ book frames female adolescence as an opportunity for productive investment in the self. This is a space where mentors who trust themselves, the education they provide, and the girl’s essentially good nature neutralize the girl’s own anxieties about maturity. These mid-nineteenth-century novels focus on female adolescence as a social category in unexpected ways. They draw not on a twentieth-century model of the alienated adolescent, but on a model of collaborative growth. The purpose of these novels is to approach adolescence—a category that continues to engage and perplex us—from another perspective, one in which fluid identity and the deliberate construction of a self are celebrated. They provide alternatives to cultural beliefs about what it was like to be a white, middle-class girl in the nineteenth century and challenge the assumption that the evolution of the girls’ book is always a movement towards less sexist, less restrictive images of girls. Drawing on forgotten bestsellers in the United States and Germany (where this genre is referred to as Backfischliteratur), Transforming Girls offers insightful readings that call scholars to reexamine the history of the girls’ book. It also outlines an alternate model for imagining adolescence and supporting adolescent girls. The awkward adolescent girl—so popular in mid-nineteenth-century fiction for girls—remains a valuable resource for understanding contemporary girls and stories about them.
Transforming Harry: The Adaptation of Harry Potter in the Transmedia Age (Contemporary Approaches to Film and Media Series)
by Kelly Turner John Alberti Vera Cuntz-Leng P. Andrew Miller Andrew Howe Cassandra Bausman Maria Dicieanu Katharine McCain Michelle Markey Butler Liza Potts Emily DallaireTransforming Harry: The Adaptation of Harry Potter in the Transmedia Ageis an edited volume of eight essays that look at how the cinematic versions of the seven Harry Potter novels represent an unprecedented cultural event in the history of cinematic adaptation. The movie version of the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, premiered in 2001, in between publication of the fourth and fifth books of this global literary phenomenon. As a result, the production and reception of both novel and movie series became intertwined with one another, creating a fanbase who accessed the series first through the books, first through the movies, and in various other combinations. John Alberti and P. Andrew Miller have gathered scholars to explore and examine the cultural, political, aesthetic, and pedagogical dimensions of this pop culture phenomenon and how it has changed the reception of both the films and books. Divided into two sections, the volume addresses both the fidelity of adaptation and the transmedia adaptations that have evolved around the creation of the books and movies. In her essay, Vera Cuntz-Leng draws on feminist film theory to explore the gaze politics and male objectification operating in the Harry Potter movies. Cassandra Bausman contends that screenwriter Steve Klove’s revision of the end of the film version of Deathly Hallows, Part II offers a more politically and ethically satisfying conclusion to the Harry Potter saga than the ending of the Rowling novel. Michelle Markey Butler’s "Harry Potter and the Surprising Venue of Literary Critiques" argues that the fan-generated memes work as a kind of popular literary analysis in three particular areas: the roles of female characters, the comparative analysis of books and films, and the comparative analysis of the Harry Potter series with other works of fantasy. While the primary focus of the collection is an academic audience, it will appeal to a broad range of readers. Within the academic community, Transforming Harry will be of interest to scholars and teachers in a number of disciplines, including film and media studies and English. Beyond the classroom, the Harry Potter series clearly enjoys a large and devoted global fan community, and this collection will be of interest to serious fans.
