Invisible in a Bright Light

From I, Coriander to Invisible in a Bright Light, Sally Gardner's first middle grade novel in 14 years soars with the imagination of a master story-teller. A pitch perfect, haunting story about a crystal chandelier shaped like a galleon that splinters into a thousand pieces, a girl abandoned as a baby on the steps of an opera house and a dangerous game called the Reckoning. It is 1870: opening night at the Royal Opera House in a freezing city by the sea, where a huge crystal chandelier in the shape of a galleon sparkles magically with the light of 750 candles. Celeste, a theatre rat, wakes up in a costume basket from what she hopes is a bad dream, to find that everyone at the theatre where she works thinks she is someone else. When the chandelier falls, she is haunted by a strange girl who claims to know Celeste's past and why she must play a game called the Reckoning to try to save the people she loves. 'In the watery cave of dreams hang the sleepers suspended on boat hooks. 'What if I don't want to play your game?' Celeste says. He leans back in his chair. 'Then you join the first row of sleepers. It's your decision.' 'What is the game called?' she asks. 'What are the rules?' 'It is called the Reckoning and only I know the rules.' 'Then it isn't fair.' 'I never said it was. This is a game I always win,' he says. 'I will help you this much - and I am being too generous. The player - that is you - was abandoned as a baby on the steps of the great opera house in the city of C.''

Edwin and the Climbing Boys

"Will you tell me a story?" little Pete whispered. Edwin gazed across the rooftops. "Once upon a time," he began, "in a faraway land, there dwelt an English man. He lived with his wife in a big house called an Embassy. They had a privileged child who didn't go to school. Tutors came and taught him how to be a gentleman." He paused. Pete's eyelids were drooping. "The boy's mother took him to England for their holidays, where they stayed with his uncle, Lord Robert, an Admiral of the Fleet." Pete was asleep. Just as well, Edwin thought, his life was no fairy tale. After Edwin witnesses his parents' death in a fire at sea, his uncle sends him to an academic boarding school. An unexpected encounter with climbing boys, Smudge and Jake, leads to an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. Informative and heart-warming, the story gives an intriguing insight into chimney sweeping in eighteenth-century London.

„INELUL VR?JITORULUI are toate ingredientele pentru a deveni un succes imediat: uneltiri, contrauneltiri, mister, cavaleri curajo?i ?i rela?ii înfloritoare, pline de inimi zdrobite, decep?ie ?i tr?dare. V? va delecta ore în ?ir ?i va satisface cititorii de toate vârstele. Recomandat? pentru biblioteca permanent? a tuturor cititorilor de fic?iune." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos Bestsellerul num?rul 1, cu peste 500 de recenzii de cinci stele! Lui Morgan Rice, autorul num?rul 1 de bestselleruri, îi dator?m debutul unei geniale noi serii epice ?i de fantastice. CALEA EROILOR (PRIMA CARTE DIN SERIA INELUL VR?JITORULUI) se bazeaz? pe eroica poveste a maturiz?rii unui b?iat special, de numai 14 ani, dintr-un sat neînsemnat de la periferia Regatului Inelului. Cel mai tân?r dintre patru fra?i, cel mai pu?in îndr?git de tat?l s?u, urât de fra?i, Thorgrin simte c? este diferit de ceilal?i. Viseaz? s? devin? un mare r?zboinic, s? se al?ture oamenilor Regelui ?i s? apere Inelul de hoardele de creaturi de pe cealalt? parte a Canionului. Când atinge vârsta la care r?spunde pentru faptele sale, iar tat?l s?u îi interzice s? participe la selec?ia pentru Legiunea Regal?, refuz? s? se supun? interdic?iei: pleac? pe cont propriu, hot?rât s?-?i croiasc? drum spre Curtea Regelui ?i s? fie luat în serios. Dar Curtea Regal? este plin? de propriile drame de familie, lupte pentru putere, ambi?ii, gelozie, violen?? ?i tr?dare. Regele MacGil trebuie s?-?i aleag? un mo?tenitor dintre copiii s?i, iar Sabia Destinului, sursa întregii lor puteri, este înc? neatins?, a?teptând ca cel Ales s? soseasc?. Thorgrin vine ca un intrus ?i lupt? pentru a fi acceptat ?i pentru a fi primit în Legiunea Regal?. Thorgrin ajunge s? descopere c? are puteri misterioase pe care nu le în?elege, c? are un dar special ?i un destin aparte. În ciuda tuturor adversit??ilor, se îndr?goste?te de fiica regelui ?i, în timp ce rela?ia lor înflore?te, descoper? c? are rivali puternici. În timp ce se lupt? s?-?i în?eleag? puterile, vr?jitorul Regelui îl ia sub aripa sa ?i îi vorbe?te despre o mam? pe care nu o cunoscuse, dintr-un t?râm îndep?rtat, de dincolo de Canion, de dincolo chiar ?i de ?inutul Dragonilor. Înainte ca Thorgrin s? se aventureze în afara Inelului ?i s? devin? r?zboinicul care î?i dore?te s? fie, trebuie s?-?i completeze preg?tirea. Dar aceasta este întrerupt? brusc, c?ci se treze?te propulsat în centrul comploturilor regale ?i al contrauneltirilor, care îi pot amenin?a dragostea ?i îl pot doborî??i întregul regat odat? cu el. Cu modul sofisticat în care creeaz? ?i descrie lumi, CALEA EROILOR este o epopee despre prieteni ?i îndr?gosti?i, despre rivali ?i pretenden?i, despre cavaleri ?i dragoni, intrigi ?i conspira?ii politice, despre ini?iere, inimi zdrobite, decep?ie, ambi?ie ?i tr?dare. Este o poveste despre onoare ?i curaj, despre soart? ?i destin, despre magie. Este o fic?iune care ne duce într-o lume pe care nu o vom uita niciodat? ?i care cucere?te oameni de toate vârstele ?i sexele. Are 82 000 de cuvinte. C?r?ile 3 - 14 din aceast? serie sunt, de asemenea, disponibile acum! „O fantezie plin? de verv?, care ?ese elemente de mister ?i intrig? în firul nara?iunii. CALEA EROILOR spune totul despre curaj ?i despre a avea un ?el în via??, care duce la evolu?ie, maturitate ?i excelen??...Celor care caut? aventuri fantastice consistente, protagoni?tii, procedeele ?i ac?iunea le ofer? un set substan?ial de conflicte, care se concentreaz? pe evolu?ia lui Thor, de la un copil vis?tor la un tân?r cu ?anse minime de supravie?uire...Este numai începutul din ceea ce promite a fi o serie epic? destinat? tinerilor."
