and the love we let into our lives... Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn't on the list. However, she's a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story. Adopted at birth, with scant knowledge of her biological family, she's created her own inner circle, a motley crew which includes her bestie Willow, to help her run the struggling but charming Apple Ridge Farm. With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it's the best home she's ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes....and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets. Now Luna's carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she—along with some help from her friends—has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and familyTwo dead wives

), this spellbinding, sweeping novel features a Malayan mother who becomes an unlikely spy for the invading Japanese forces during WWII—with shocking consequences for her family, and her country. Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara's family is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth. A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fuijwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an "Asia for Asians." Instead, Cecily helped usher in an even more brutal occupation by the Japanese. Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction—and she will do anything to save them. Spanning years of pain and triumph, told from the perspectives of four unforgettable characters, The Storm We Made is a dazzling saga about the horrors of war; the fraught relationships between the colonized and their oppressors, and the ambiguity of right and wrong when survival is at stakeRa pu zel and the stinky tofu

past—for fans of Catherine McKenzie and Amber Cowie.When her estranged father goes missing, Jude is persuaded by her mother to find his will.

However, loneliness and terrifying dreams soon wear on her, bringing back frightening memories. Thoughts of her distant mother and intimidating father, her jealous sister, and her mother’s mysterious friend infest Jude’s increasingly clouded mind.

and speaking your truth.Simon O’Keeffe’s biggest claim to fame should be the time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament. Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. But the story the whole world wants to tell about Simon is the one he’d do anything to forget: the story in which he’s the only kid in his class who survived a school shooting. Two years after the infamous event, twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to the National Quiet Zone—the only place in America where the internet is banned. Instead of talking about Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listening for signs of life in space. And when Simon makes a friend who’s determined to give the scientists what they’re looking for, he’ll finally have the chance to spin a new story for the world to tell. From award-winning author Erin Bow, Simon Sort of Says is a breathtaking testament to the lasting echoes of trauma, the redemptive power of humor, and the courage it takes to move forward without forgetting the past.La résistance

en force avec une histoire qui aborde les tourments de la préadolescence, cet âge où tout nous irrite et où la vie nous semble pénible et compliquée. C’est avec beaucoup de justesse que l’auteure parvient à nous faire pénétrer dans l’univers des sentiments troubles propres à cet âge. Elle souligne avec habileté les contradictions qui surgissent, tel le besoin d’encadrement mais celui aussi de distanciation. C’est d’ailleurs ce dernier qui va permettre à la jeune Claudie d’exprimer sa singularité. Nul doute que les jeunes lecteurs se reconnaîtront dans plusieurs situations décrites dans ce livre.Les visiteurs

Terre : Tokyo, Paris, Shangaï. Ils venaient d'une lointaine planète aux ressources presques épuisées. Et que demandaient-ils, ces étranges extraterrestres capables de revêtir l'apparence humaine, en échange de leurs extraordinaires connaissances en matière de science et de technologie ? Rien, ou si peu de chose : une petite, toute petite, partie des richesses naturelles de la Terre. Ils étaient venus pour une mission de paix... et l'humanité les avait crus. Jusqu'au moment où ils commencèrent à se multiplier, à se muer en une armée d'envahisseurs. Jusqu'au moment où les hommes, les femmes, les enfants de la planète Terre commencèrent à disparaître... par millions. Jusqu'au moment où l'effrayante réalité que dissimulait leur mission pacifique — un règne de terreur comparable, à l'échelle mondiale, à celui qu'avait connu l'Allemagne d'Hitler — apparut aux yeux des survivants, les laissants seuls face à cette simple alternative : resister ou disparaitre. Ce roman est tiré du scénario d'une série télévisée qui, dans tous les pays où elle a été diffusée, a connu un retentissement considérable.
