Book Description
In a world on the brink of war, four superpowered teens must learn to work together for peace in Caitlin Lochner's action-packed debut novel, A Soldier and A Liar. Lai Cathwell is good at keeping secrets. As a Nyte, a supernaturally gifted teenager who is feared and shunned by the ungifted, this skill is essential to survival. Orchestrating her own imprisonment to escape military duty has only honed her ability to deceive others. But when rebels start attacking the city, Lai is dragged back into the fight with a new team of Nytes. Thrown together with Jay, a self-conscious perfectionist consumed by the desire to be accepted; Al, a short-tempered fighter lying for the sake of revenge; and Erik, an amnesiac hell-bent on finding his memories and his place in the world, Lai realizes she’s facing an entirely different kind of challenge—one that might just be impossible. But if this team can't learn to work together, the entire sector will be plunged into war.

Caitlyn
Author: Elizabeth Davies
Publisher: Lilac Tree Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 858
Book Description
A young woman cursed by a witch, an old woman who uses magic and darkness to enslave her… This compelling and disturbing story of magic, betrayal, and the power of love, combines the best of historical fantasy and magical realism. “Since the dawn of time, witches have worked magic with the aid of a familiar, often taking the form of a toad, a raven, or a cat.” Caitlyn has lost everything – her king, her throne, her country. With her husband lying brutally slaughtered at her feet and with his enemies at her door, she flees for her life. Desperate, terrified, and plagued by visions of an evil woman performing dark rituals, Caitlyn seeks sanctuary with an English lord. But when the only man she feels she can trust betrays her, she escapes – and runs straight into the clutches of the woman from her visions. Herleva is a woman filled with ambition and greed; a woman who gets what she wants by whatever means possible – even if she has to practice the dark arts to achieve her goal. A woman who is a witch. Using magic and evil to cast her spells, Herleva transforms Caitlyn into a witch’s familiar. Having no choice but to do the witch’s bidding, Caitlyn’s life is changed forever by the hideous enchantment. Only death can free her. The question is, whose? Set in medieval Britain and France, where being accused of witchcraft is death, and ancient magic lies hidden, this is an epic historical fantasy that sweeps through the centuries and makes you question history itself. Not for the faint-hearted – contains adult themes and scenes of desperation, bloodshed, and dark, dangerous sorcery. What readers are saying: “This is a really good mix of historical drama and supernatural. I read the whole book in one day.” (Goodreads reviewer) “I had no real idea what to expect. Would it be historical drama or magical fantasy? Game of Thrones style political intrigue and violence, or Arthurian-style chivalry and witchcraft? The answer is, yes. All of the above” (Goodreads reviewer) “What an unusual story of queens, kings, princes, dukes, lords, ladies, murder, death, danger, magic and witches” (Goodreads reviewer) “This book is full or murder, mayhem, battles, treachery, witchcraft, and yes, even the occasional lighthearted moment just to keep the book from being too deep. I loved every word of it and cannot wait for the next book in the series. To sum this book up in one word...EPIC!” (Goodreads reviewer) “This book was 100% not what I thought it was going to be; instead the story was unlike any I’ve ever read before & I ended up totally enthralled” (Goodreads reviewer)

Book Description
A 2020 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year A 2020 Children's Book Council Notable Social Studies Book for Young People Over a quarter million underage British boys fought on the Allied front lines of the Great War, but not all of them fought on the battlefield—some fought beneath it, as revealed in this middle-grade historical adventure about a deadly underground mission. Secret Soldiers follows the journey of Thomas, a thirteen-year-old coal miner, who lies about his age to join the Claykickers, a specialized crew of soldiers known as “tunnelers,” in hopes of finding his missing older brother. Thomas works in the tunnels of the Western Front alongside three other soldier boys whose constant bickering and inexperience in mining may prove more lethal than the enemy digging toward them. But as they burrow deeper beneath the battlefield, the boys discover the men they hope to become and forge a bond of brotherhood. Secret Soldiers is another stunning story of strength, perseverance, and love from Keely Hutton. This title has common core connections.

Pittsburgh
Author: Frank Santoro
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681374048
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
A moving graphic memoir about home, childhood, and family by the author of Storeyville and Pompeii. Pittsburgh is the story of a family, and a city. Frank Santoro faces a straightforward yet heart-rending reality: His parents, once high-school sweethearts, now never speak to each other—despite working in the same building. Stuck in the middle, he tries to understand. The result is this book. Using markers, pencils, scissors, and tape, with a variety of papers, drawing in vivid colors and exuberant lines, Santoro constructs a multi-generational retelling of their lives. Framed by his parents’ courtship and marriage, and set amid the vital but fading neighborhood streets, the pages of Pittsburgh are filled with details both quotidian and dramatic—from his childhood mishaps to his father’s trauma in Vietnam—interspersed throughout with the mute witness of the family dog, Pretzel. Santoro, the acclaimed author of Storeyville and Pompeii, has created his masterpiece. Pittsburgh is an extraordinary reimagining of the comics form to depict the processes of memory, and a powerful, searching account of a family taking shape, falling apart, and struggling to reinvent itself, as the city around them does the same.
