Book Synopsis ★Booklist ★Bookpage ★The Bulletin ★Publishers Weekly ★Shelf Awareness ★SLC ★SLJ “CRUCIAL.” —The New York Times Book Review In the rubble of a broken continent, a girl must solve a mystery whose answers could rebuild her family—or break her completely, in this New York Times bestselling, critically acclaimed tour de force historical novel from Monica Hesse, author of Girl in the Blue Coat. Germany, 1945. The soldiers who liberated the Gross-Rosen concentration camp say the war is over, but nothing feels over to eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman. Her body has barely begun to heal, her mind feels broken. And her life is completely shattered: Three years ago, she and her younger brother, Abek, were the only members of their family to be sent to the right, away from the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Everyone else—her parents, her grandmother, radiant Aunt Maja—they went left. Zofia's last words to her brother were a promise: Abek to Zofia, A to Z. When I find you again, we will fill our alphabet. Now her journey to fulfill that vow takes her through Poland and Germany, into a displaced persons camp where everyone she meets is trying to piece together a future from a painful past: Miriam, desperately searching for the twin she was separated from after they survived medical experimentation. Breine, a former heiress, who now longs only for a simple wedding with her new fiancé. And Josef, who guards his past behind a wall of secrets, and is beautiful and strange and magnetic all at once. But the deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her search seems. How can she find one boy in a sea of the missing? “This is not just a story about death and survival—it’s also about choosing to live on, even in the face of genocide, trauma and devastating loss. And what could be more relevant to our world today?” —Sharon Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light in Hidden Places, writing in The New York Times 'A heartbreaking, gorgeously written story...The ending left me breathless and awed by its expression of enduring love.'―Jewell Parker Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Boys

HarperCollins Publishers Girls Who Slay Monsters
Book SynopsisWINNER KPMG Book of the Year Children's Books Ireland AwardsUnsung stories from ancient Irish myths re-imagined for nine to twelve-year oldsThere was a time when tales of Ireland's mythical goddesses their astonishing powers, bravery, and unbreakable bonds with nature were famous, in Ireland and beyond. But over time, these stories were lost, often replaced or rewritten to make room for male warriors and kings.Until Now.Girls Who Slay Monsters brings these heroes of Irish mythology back to vibrant, magical life. From Éire, Ireland's fierce namesake, and Bé Binn, a giant who overcame her bullies, to Badb, a gleefully gruesome death prophet, and Bé Mannair, a gender-fluid spy who challenged an entire army. These are goddesses of many shapes, skin shades and sizes, from every corner of ancient Ireland, whose daring still inspires today.Stand by their sides as they wield magic, fight monsters, and protect the powerless and you might just discover that you, too, are a force of nature.Note From The AuthorWhile many of us grew up learning about Greek and Norse myth, the Irish goddesses were an undiscovered secret. At my convent school, I was taught about two or three magical women from mysterious lands, but they were not described as goddesses, and I had no idea how warped these tales had become.Then years later, I took a trip to Rathcroghan, an Irish archaeological site known as the ancient capital of Connacht, and learned the land there was linked with powerful goddesses.I couldn't understand why I hadn't been taught about these goddesses and felt something had been stolen from me. So, for many years after, I went digging through ancient Celtic texts and discovered a pantheon of exciting goddesses with brilliant abilities. But what I found most remarkable was that these women from thousands of years ago often faced the kind of challenges we experience today. Their stories are relevant and inspiring, yet girls everywhere have been stripped of the Celtic goddesses an important part of our shared female heritage.I am grateful and honoured to retell their stories for you now.Trade Review‘A richly illustrated book detailing the daring tales of Ireland’s forgotten goddesses … sumptuously produced, with bold, super-clear design … The author manages to make divine female characters from Ireland’s past relevant to young women today.’ Manchán Magan ‘Beautifully written but highly accessible and relatable. A classic in the making’ Sarah Webb, Irish Independent ‘A great book.’Eoin Colfer ‘A book that will stand the test of time.’ Marita Conlon McKenna ‘A gorgeous treasure trove.’ Deirdre O’Sullivan

Belle has broken the enchantress’s curse, restoring the Beast to his human form and bringing life back to their castle in the principality of Aveyon.

While Belle grapples with her newfound position, there are those who would do anything to keep her from power. When she stumbles across a magic mirror that holds a dire warning, Belle wants nothing more than to ignore the mysterious voice calling her to accept a crown she never desired. But violent factions of the revolution may already be lurking within her own castle, and doing nothing would endanger everything she holds dear. With the fate of her country, her love, and her life at stake, Belle must decide if she is ready to embrace her own strength--and the magic that ties her to so many female rulers before her--to become the queen she is meant to be. This lush and empowering reimagining of Princess Belle blends fairy-tale lore and “the French Revolution with a Disney twist” (SLJ).
