Books Fiction to Read in Fall 2023 • One of Kirkus Reviews' Fall 2023 Big Books By Small Presses • A Kirkus Review Work of Translated Fiction To Read Now • One of CBC Books Best Books of 2023 In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees. In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.Moon of the Turning Leaves

La víspera de su cumpleaños, Maxon se da cuenta de que La Selección, que le parecía tan estimulante, es ahora…
muy intimidante. Cuando se confiesa con su amiga de toda la vida, Daphne, la princesa francesa, queda sorprendido por su respuesta: ella lleva mucho tiempo enamorada de él y lo que de verdad le gustaría es poder optar a ganarse el corazón del príncipe, algo que el proceso de la Selección hace imposible.La agria discusión con Daphne y las acusaciones que esta le hace provocan que Maxon se plantee algunas cuestiones: ¿Será verdad que tenía el amor al alcance de la mano y no se dio cuenta? ¿Y si no tiene la capacidad de sentir una emoción tan profunda? Sin embargo, la noche antes de que la competición empiece de verdad conocerá a America Singer. Le pilla desprevenido la antipatía que la chica parece sentir por él y se toma a broma lo brutalmente sincera que es, pero eso no hace más que aumentar su curiosidad por ella.
