Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Never Look Back
Book SynopsisEury comes to the Bronx as a girl haunted. Haunted by losing everything in Hurricane Maria--and by an evil spirit, Ato. She fully expects the tragedy that befell her and her family in Puerto Rico to catch up with her in New York. Yet, for a time, she can almost set this fear aside, because there’s this boy . . . Pheus is a golden-voiced, bachata-singing charmer, ready to spend the summer on the beach with his friends, serenading his on-again, off-again flame. That changes when he meets Eury. All he wants is to put a smile on her face and fight off her demons. But some dangers are too powerful for even the strongest love, and as the world threatens to tear them apart, Eury and Pheus must fight for each other and their lives. Featuring contemporary Afro-Latinx characters, this retelling of the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice is perfect for fans of Ibi Zoboi's Pride and Daniel José Older's Shadowshaper.Trade ReviewA revitalized and layered retelling that expertly blends reality and fantasy to explore what's behind love and loss, what it takes to heal. * Randy Ribay, author of National Book Award Finalist PATRON SAINTS OF NOTHING *Haunting and richly detailed, this is a beautiful re-imagining that will hurt and heal, sometimes on the same page. * Mark Oshiro, author of ANGER IS A GIFT *Never Look Back reimagines the Orpheus myth into a bold creation that only Lilliam Rivera could breathe into life.

Defying expectation and categorization, Never Look Back is a book not to be read with the mind but to be experienced with the soul. It is a revelation. * BookPage, starred review *This isn't a note-for-note retelling. It's something else altogether: a pensive exploration of the deep trauma historically suffered by colonized and enslaved peoples and how that entwines with more recent hardships, like Hurricane Maria, whose damage is worsened by the remnants of those same institutions. . . Never Looks Back sings its own love song to the world. * NPR *One of the most anticipated books of 2020. * Women’s Health *This fresh reworking of a Greek myth will resonate. * Kirkus Reviews *If you wanted to hold on to those rollercoaster beach-side romances a little bit long, we highly recommend this one. * Girls' Life *Combines realism with magic along with an exploration of the critical need for better mental health care. . . .

Instead, Lilliam Rivera tells the reader that there is nothing more powerful and beautiful than staying true to oneself. * Isabel Quintero, author of GABI: A GIRL IN PIECES, on THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ *Taking cues from Judge Dredd, Mad Max, and The Hunger Games, Rivera . . . has created a uniquely brutal hellscape. . . . Readers are left with a more ambiguous--and ambitious--tale that will have them questioning what kinds of people they’d be if freed from society’s mores. * Booklist, starred review, on DEALING IN DREAMS *Rivera effectively presents the complexity of female relationships, which will resonate strongly with readers. . . . A novel exploration of societal roles, gender, and equality through the eyes of captivating lead. * SLJ, starred review, on DEALING IN DREAMS *A debut of great candor, depth, and empathy. * Booklist on THE EDUCATION OF MARGOT SANCHEZ *

Charlesbridge Publishing,U.S. Sea Queens: Woman Pirates Around the World
Book SynopsisIn 1963 Jane Yolen released a book called PIRATES IN PETTICOATS, because the idea of women as pirates fascinated her--but there wasn''t much information about these women who made their livelihoods plundering on the high seas. Scholars have dug up a bounty of new information since then, and Jane, still fascinated, revisits the ladies who loot.Discover such great pirates as Artemisia, the Admiral Queen of Persia who sailed the seas from 500 to 480 BC. At one point there was a 10,000 drachma prize for anyone who could capture her. There was Rachel Wall, who ran away from her strict upbringing and became a murderous pirate terrorizing the waters of the Atlantic coastline of America. She was hanged for her deeds. Possibly the most famous woman pirate of all was Grania O''Malley, daughter of an Irish chieftain. She plagued the English and was arrested several times, always gaining her freedom to pirate some more. Meet ten other female pirates on their ships, in battle, and in disguise in this intriguing look at the wayward women of the waves.Christine Joy Pratt''s pen-and-ink illustrations are alive with action and excitement. Here be a true and accurate account of the most low-down, scurviest--but the prettiest--black-hearted pirates you''ll ever love to read about.
