The Secret Library

"Travel through time with National Book Award Finalist Kekla Magoon in a page-turning fantasy adventure about family secrets and finding the courage to plot your own life story. Since Grandpa died, Dally's days are dull and restricted. She's eleven and a half years old, and her exacting single mother is already preparing her to take over the family business. Starved for adventure and release, Dally rescues a mysterious envelope from her mother's clutches, an envelope Grandpa had earmarked for her. The map she finds inside leads straight to an ancient vault, a library of secrets where each book is a portal to a precise moment in time. As Dally "checks out" adventure after adventure-including an exhilarating outing with pirates-she begins to dive deep into her family's hidden history. Soon she's visiting every day to escape the demands of the present. But the library has secrets of its own, intentions that would shape her life as surely as her mother's meticulous plans. What will Dally choose? Equal parts mystery and adventure-with a biracial child puzzling out her identity alongside the legacy of the past-this masterful middle-grade fantasy rivets with crackling prose, playful plot twists, and timeless themes. A satisfying choice for fans of Kindred and When You Reach Me."

Evan Miller Is Waking Down: A Dreambending Novel

"What if dreams were dangerous? What if your strongest abilities made you a fugitive? Tweens and middle grade readers who enjoy dystopian and fantasy fiction will be pulled into a world of secrets, control, and power in this novel from Jerel Law, the author of the Jonah Stone: Son of Angels series.

It's been like this ever since the Incident. Fifteen-year-old Evan Miller has an increasingly disruptive secret--a powerful ability that has attracted the attention of the Elders. When disguising himself as ordinary is no longer an option, he's forced to flee to the place he fears the most. What will he discover about the true past of City 47, the Elders, and himself in the forbidden Old City? Evan Miller Is Waking Down: A Dreambending Novel - explores the power of dreams and the cost of conformity; - encourages readers to be themselves and pursue the truth; and - is perfect for fans of The City of Ember, supernatural fiction, and mysteries. Older children 11 to 14 will dream, question, and find power within their own gifts as they follow Evan's journey from typical teen to revolutionary for truth."

No Filter

"From the author of The Ghost of Drowned Meadow comes another haunted tale that's as touching as it is terrifying. Janessa 'Jinx' McCormick loves photography because it's like real life, except she can make it perfect. Using her late father's camera, Jinx takes photos for nearly everyone in her small town of Greenbelt, making her something of a local celebrity. But one day as she's touching up a new photo, Jinx sees . . . something in the background of the image. A shadow that she's certain wasn't in the frame when she captured the shot. Though it's too dark and hazy to see exactly what it is, the shadow looks roughly like a figure. And soon Jinx notices something even more unsettling. With each new shot she takes, the figure is always there. And it's slowly moving closer to the camera."

[German] - Infinity, Episode 2: Erstschlag II Die Antarktis-Basis

"Unter dem Einfluss des geheimnisvollen Dr. König bringt Royal-Air-Force-Pilot John Gilbert in Australien den DX-Langstreckenbomber und den Phantom-Piloten in seine Gewalt. Er verschwindet mit dem Bomber über dem Pazifik. In Russland befindet sich die junge Soldatin Charlene Jason in der Gewalt des korrupten General Radski, der die Atomsprengköpfe der Andropow-Basis an eine unbekannte Macht verkauft hat. Um am Leben zu bleiben, muss Jason alles riskieren. Auf der anderen Seite des Globus können der Testpilot Jack Chance und Colonel Briggs die Jagd nach dem DX-Bomber aufnehmen, als sie unerwartet Hilfe bekommen. Die Jagd führt sie in die weiße Hölle der Antarktis ... - Antarktis-Geografie: Die Region Wilkesland, in dem ein Teil der Geschichte spielt, ist der größte Bereich des Australischen Antarktis-Territoriums. Es ist in die Abschnitte Knox-Küste, Budd-Küste, Sabrina-Küste, Banzare-Küste und Clarie-Küste (in der Geschichte erwähnt) eingeteilt. Laut klima.org liegt der Temperaturdurchschnitt am geografischen Südpol auf der Klimatabelle bei minus 55 Grad Celsius. Es wehen teilweise extreme Winde. Die Ereignisse von 'Erstschlag' spielen sich während des Antarktischen Sommers ab (In 'Erstschlag I' erwähnt General Croft das bevorstehende Weihnachtsfest). Es ist also vorwiegend hell. Wichtiges Detail: In Gefangenschaft macht sich Charlene Jason durch den Satz 'Wer wagt, gewinnt!' selber Mut. Es ist das Motto des Special Air Service (SAS), einer Spezialeinheit der British Army, bei der Jason ausgebildet wurde. Im Original: 'Who Dares Wins'. Interessante Sounddetails: Bei einigen Sturmgewehr-Schüssen im Hörspiel 'Erstschlag I: Drei Atomsprengköpfe' handelt es sich tatsächlich um Schüsse aus AK-47-Gewehren. Der Triebwerk-Klang, den Sounddesigner Manuel Schmitt im Hörspiel 'Erstschlag II: Die Antarktis-Basis' einsetzt, als der DX-Bomber die Turbinen hochfährt, geht auf die Triebwerke eines B52-Bombers zurück.

[French] - L'amnésie

"Lors d'une sortie à cheval, Léna fait une chute sur la tête (avec la bombe). Black-out. Quand elle revient à elle, elle est aux urgences. Rien de cassé, mais elle est frappée d'une amnésie partielle temporaire. Elle se souvient de choses (elle sait qu'elle s'appelle Léna), et pas d'autres (par exemple, elle reconnaît Anaïs, Angelo... mais pas Hugo). Face à l'inquiétude de ses parents et amis, les docteurs se montrent rassurants : ce n'est pas rare lors d'une chute de cheval, la mémoire de Léna va revenir progressivement, il lui faut un peu de temps. Entre Samantha qui s'improvise super copine de Léna pour mieux la manipuler et notamment prendre sa place dans le premier rôle à la représentation de Roméo et Juliette, Hugo qui veut lui faire croire qu'elle est amoureuse de lui et qu'ils se sont même embrassés avant son petit souci, et surtout l'interruption aux conséquences assez dramatiques de la relation qui s'était tissée entre Mistral l'étalon sauvage et elle, la vie du groupe et du Ranch va en être complètement chamboulée. Avec l'aide de ses amis, Léna va devoir retrouver la mémoire et sa complicité perdue avec Mistral !"
