Book Description
Max antes de se tornar Acelera. Antes da noite mais estranha da sua vida. Antes de Hawkins e do Mundo Invertido. Aprequela de Stranger Things que revela, como nunca antes, a mente de uma das personagens favoritas da série. Max Mayfield simplesmente não se consegue encaixar. Não é delicada ou cheia de folhinhos, como a sua mãe gostaria. Nunca parece dizer a coisa certa. E prefere passar os seus dias no salão de jogos mais do que em qualquer outro lugar. Quando vivia na Califórnia, tinha amigos e o seu pai estava a apenas uma viagem de autocarro de distância. Mas foi então que a mãe de Max se casou com Neil, e o seu meio-irmão, Billy, entrou em cena. Agora, Max e a sua nova família vivem em Hawkins, Indiana. O seu padrasto trata-a por Maxine, Billy está fora de controlo e a sua mãe não é capaz de intervir. Max continua a pensar que encontrou amigos para substituir os que deixou na Califórnia, mas todos eles erguem barreiras assim que se começam a sentir vulneráveis. Isto é, até que Max descobre o quão sérias - e estranhas - as coisas realmente são em Hawkins. Max não tarda a perceber que é a mais nova personagem numa história bizarra com democães, um perigoso Devorador de Mentes e uma Maga de verdade. Terá de fazer algumas escolhas sérias se pretende salvar Hawkins das partes mais sombrias do Mundo Invertido - presumindo que o violento, louco e descontrolado Billy não se atravesse primeiro no seu caminho. A prequela de Stranger Things que revela, como nunca antes, a mente de uma das personagens favoritas da série.

Pages : 386
Book Description
Fans of Lady Bird will love this novel about a good girl who dreams herself into a bad boy's room in this lyrically romantic novel that Maggie Stiefvater, author of The Raven King, says she read and "woke up satisfied." Waverly Camdenmar spends her nights running until she can’t even think. Then the sun comes up, life goes on, and Waverly goes back to her perfectly hateful best friend, her perfectly dull classes, and the tiny, nagging suspicion that there’s more to life than student council and GPAs. Marshall Holt is a loser. He drinks on school nights and gets stoned in the park. He is at risk of not graduating, he does not care, he is no one. He is not even close to being in Waverly’s world. But then one night Waverly falls asleep and dreams herself into Marshall’s bedroom—and when the sun comes up, nothing in her life can ever be the same. In Waverly’s dreams, the rules have changed. But in her days, she’ll have to decide if it’s worth losing everything for a boy who barely exists. "Waverly and Marshall burn brightly . . . both refreshingly flawed as they come into their own. Readers will forgo sleep themselves to witness their vibrant, achingly real story unfold. A brilliant romance." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred "A tightly woven, luminously written novel that captures the uncertain nature of high school and the difficult path of self-discovery." —Booklist, Starred "Yovanoff offers a multilayered exploration of human connections, particularly those that manifest in unpredictable ways."—Publishers Weekly, Starred

A sneak peek at an electrifying tale of greed and power, magic and destiny, and one boy's courage at the heart of it all, from Jennifer A. Nielsen, the New York Times bestselling author of the Ascendance Trilogy. When Nic, a slave in the mines outside of Rome, is forced to enter a sealed cavern containing the lost treasures of Julius Caesar, he finds much more than gold and gemstones: He discovers an ancient bulla, an amulet that belonged to the great Caesar and is filled with a magic once reserved for the Gods -- magic some Romans would kill for. Now, with the deadly power of the bulla pulsing through his veins, Nic is determined to become free. But instead, he finds himself at the center of a ruthless conspiracy to overthrow the emperor and spark the Praetor War, a battle to destroy Rome from within. Traitors and spies lurk at every turn, each more desperate than the next to use Nic's newfound powers for their own dark purposes. In a quest to stop the rebellion, save Rome, and secure his own freedom, Nic must harness the magic within himself and defeat the empire's most powerful and savage leaders.

Discover the backstory of new Stranger Things fan favorite Robin--the perfect read for anyone looking forward to devouring the fourth season on Netflix—now available as a paperback! High school is a monster, and it's eating everyone Robin knows. It's the beginning of sophomore year, and Robin's Odd Squad friends couple up, won't stop talking about college and their future careers, and are obsessed with trying to act "normal." Robin knows that game well--she's been pretending for years, hoping nobody would notice the sarcastic polyglot French horn player with a bad perm in the back of the room. But there's one aspect of her identity that she knows for sure doesn't fit in with her image--Robin likes girls. How is she supposed to be her true self in teeny-tiny Hawkins, Indiana? Robin is convinced the only way she can experience real life is by fleeing to Europe for the summer--aka Operation Croissant. But she has no money, no permission, and no one to share the adventure with--and it will take a heck of a lot more than that to escape Hawkins in one piece. Sprinkled with references to your favorite Stranger Things characters, this prequel chronicles one girl's realization that the only person she really needs to be accepted by is herself.

The Banishment of Beverland
Author: Karen Eline Hollewand
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004396322
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In 1679 Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) was banished from the province of Holland. Why was this humanist scholar exiled from one of the most tolerant parts of Europe in the seventeenth century? To answer this question, this book places Beverland’s writings on sex, sin, and scholarship in their historical context for the first time. Beverland argued that sexual lust was the original sin and highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, ancient history, and his own society. His audacious works hit a raw nerve: Dutch theologians accused him of atheism, he was abandoned by his humanist colleagues, and he was banished by the University of Leiden. By positioning Beverland’s extraordinary scholarship in the context of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic, this book examines how his radical studies challenged the intellectual, ecclesiastical, and political elite, providing a fresh perspective upon the Dutch Republic in the last decades of its Golden Age.
