Edward is the King of England. He's also dying, which is inconvenient, as he's only sixteen and he'd rather be planning his first kiss than who will inherit his crown. Jane, Edward's cousin, is far more interested in books than romance. Unfortunately, Edward has arranged to marry her off to Gifford secure the line of succession. And Gifford is, well, a horse. That is, he an Eðian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated) who becomes a chestnut steed every morning, but wakes as a man at dusk, with a mouthful of hay. Very undignified. The plot thickens as the three are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy, and have to engage in some conspiring of their own. But can they pull off their plan before it's off with their heads?

Toda história tem sempre duas versões... Inglaterra, século XVI, dinastia Tudor. O jovem Rei Eduardo VI está à beira da morte e o destino do país é incerto. Para evitar que o poder caia em mãos erradas (leia-se: nas mãos de Maria Sangrenta), Eduardo é persuadido por seu conselheiro a nomear Lady Jane Grey, sua prima e melhor amiga, como a legítima sucessoraAos 16 anos, Jane está em um relacionamento muito sério com seus livros até ser surpreendida pela trágica notícia de que terá de se casar com um completo estranho que (ninguém lembrou de contar para ela) tem um talento muito especial: a habilidade de se transformar em cavalo. E, pior ainda, descobre que está prestes a se tornar a nova Rainha da Inglaterra!Arrastada para o centro de um conflito político, Jane suspeita de que sua coroação na verdade esconde um grande plano conspiratório para usurpar o trono. Agora, ela precisa definitivamente manter a cabeça no lugar se... bem, se não quiser literalmente perder a cabeça.Um rei relutante, uma rainha-relâmpago ainda mais relutante e um nobre (e) garanhão puro-sangue que não se conformam com o destino que lhes foi reservado; uma história apaixonante, envolvente, cativante, sedutora... e mais uma porção de sinônimos que só Lady Jane seria capaz de listar. Tudo com uma leve semelhança com os fatos históricos....afinal, às vezes a História precisa de uma mãozinha.“Os Tudors encontram Monty Python. Prepare-se para ficar sem ar e engasgar de tanto rir.” Tahereh Mafi, autora best-seller do The New York com a série Estilhaça-me

La Segunda Vida De Holly Chase

Ultima oară când ne luăm rămas-bun

Move over, Charlotte Brontë. The authors of the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane are back with an irreverent spin on Jane Eyre—a tale of mischief, romance, and supernatural mayhem perfect for fans of The Princess Bride or A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. You may think you know the story. Penniless orphan Jane Eyre begins a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester—and, Reader, she marries him. Or does she? Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions in this stand-alone follow-up to My Lady Jane, which was called “an utter delight” (ALA Booklist, starred review), and “an uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

My Plain Jane

Cassandra McMurtrey tem os melhores pais que uma garota poderia querer. Eles deram a Cass uma vida que a jovem não trocaria por nada neste mundo. Ela tem tudo de que precisa — exceto, talvez, o que mais deseja: saber quem é e de onde veio. E, não importa o quanto a amem, estas são questões que seus pais adotivos não podem responder. Motivadas pelo desejo de conhecer suas origens, Cass inicia uma busca para encontrar a mãe biológica. Mas tudo que ela tem são cartas escritas dezoito anos antes e assinadas apenas como “S”. Através desses textos, ela precisa achar pistas sobre a aparência, a família, o endereço e a personalidade da mulher que lhe entregou para a adoção. No entanto, isso também traz à tona novas perguntas e preocupações. Afinal, ela deve investigar seu passado tão profundamente? Como seus pais vão reagir quando souberem o que ela está fazendo? Sua mãe biológica quer mesmo ser encontrada? Além de tudo, Cass ainda precisa lidar com as dificuldades enfrentadas por qualquer adolescente, como a escolha da faculdade e o surgimento de um novo amor. E a pressão que sofre do pai para se matricular na mesma faculdade que ele cursou, a inveja que sente da melhor amiga quando ela ganha uma bolsa de estudos na universidade dos seus sonhos ou o fato de sua mãe adotiva estar no hospital há meses não ajudam em nada. Cartas que escrevi antes de você apresenta uma narrativa tocante e precisa de como muitos adolescentes se sentem ao planejar o futuro enquanto ainda têm dúvidas sobre o passado. Ao explorar de forma comovente os diversos significados da palavra “família”, Cynthia Hand nos conta uma história emocionante sobre uma jovem que — como todos nós — busca seu lugar no mundo.

Cartas que escrevi antes de você

Timeless

It’s aliiiiiiiive! New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane are back with the electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley.

Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father’s bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that’ll inspire a work worthy of her parentage—and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley.

Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts—in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations, there’s always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own.

Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada's greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all.

When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae—magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won't stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts.

With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that’s perfect for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD. Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.
