When Lemmie Ferguson and her parents move away from Edinburgh to the small Scottish Highland town of Balgownie, she finds comfort in her cluttered, glittery attic bedroom, finally away from the bad memories of her Edinburgh School. She misses her wild and arty older sister Rose Rouge, but she can handle lonely times by using the Marshmallow Magic that Rose Rouge has taught her. But even as Lemmie enjoys her new life and new friends, who really seem to like her rosy, fairy-lit view of things, there is a shadow that lurks. When a bully from her past appears in her new school's halls and threatens to rub the sparkle off of everything, Lemmie starts to wonder if Rose Rouge and their special brand of coping are really what she needs.

The beloved debut novel about an affluent Indian family forever changed by one fateful day in 1969, from the author of The Ministry of Utmost Happiness NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roy’s modern classic is equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing political drama. The seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel see their world shaken irrevocably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin, Sophie. It is an event that will lead to an illicit liaison and tragedies accidental and intentional, exposing “big things [that] lurk unsaid” in a country drifting dangerously toward unrest. Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that started for its author an esteemed career of fiction and political commentary that continues unabated.

Thirteen-year-old Heather has a perfect family. She thinks she is the only one who is slightly odd, with some quirky habits. Until … Her dentist dad comes home from work one day and announces that he is leaving them. This leads her perfectly elegant mother to “hibernate” in her bedroom for three weeks (only to emerge as a salsa-dancing rocker chick); her good-looking, brilliant, sports-playing 17-year-old brother to reveal his secret life as an eyelinerwearing indie band manager and her perfectly cute six-year-old little sister to turn feral, coached by the “Goth” who has moved in to her brother's bedroom. And suddenly, it's Heather who is the normal one. This is an honest, but bright and funny look at a family destroyed in a single moment. Like Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging — only younger, lighter and funnier — Karen McCombie's debut in the Canadian market will place her alongside Brit lit queen as Louise Rennison.

As the series progresses, there's an opportunity for everyone. The Gwomples possess a gift from the gods that grant them shape-shifting transformation. The tribe members' tradition is to choose the animal with the strength a Gwomple would like to possess. Imagine being a warrior who shapeshifts into a tiger for its predator strength, a sports player who shifts into a bird of prey for its speed, and a goddess who grows wings to fly over the gardens she cares for.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR – NOMINATED FOR THE 2019 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST SERIES – WINNER OF THE 2016 LOCUS AWARD – NOMINATED FOR THE HUGO, NEBULA AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARDS. DEATH AND NEW BEGINNINGS Shuos Jedao is awake. … and nothing is as he remembers. In his mind he’s a teenager, a cadet—a nobody. But he finds himself in the body of an old man, a general controlling the elite forces of the hexarchate, and the most feared—and reviled—man in the galaxy. Jedao carries orders from Hexarch Nirai Kujen to re-conquer the fractured pieces of the hexarchate on his behalf. But he has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general, and the Kel soldiers under his command hate him for a massacre he can’t remember committing. Kujen’s friendliness can’t hide the fact that he’s a tyrant. And what’s worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he does himself...
