Anne lavora al fianco di altri come lei, oltre al detective della polizia Frank Massey, il quale segue l’emergenza dei super, per salvare coloro che Globe ha catturato e per far conoscere al mondo il suo operato. Mentre consolida il suo potere, Globe pianifica anche di estenderlo, candidandosi alla carica di sindaco di Seattle con una campagna elettorale anti-super. Tuttavia, la resistenza è sparpagliata e affronta persecuzioni e anche arresti quotidiani, mentre Globe si avvale di hacker esperti per incastrare un uomo innocente per un atto terroristico. Ma alcuni super, che lui ha catturato e sedato, sono mantenuti in quella condizione per un motivo, mettendo Anne e gli altri che combattono Globe di fronte a una scelta impossibile: lasciare che un mostro prosperi oppure sguinzagliarne un altro contro di lui.

Sorry For Your Loss
by Joanne Levy★ “A heartfelt and expertly written tale of loss, family, and friendship that will have readers blinking back their tears…Beautiful and sincere.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review Evie Walman is not obsessed with death. She does think about it a lot, though, but only because her family runs a Jewish funeral home. At twelve, Evie already knows she’s going to be a funeral director when she grows up. So what if the kids at school call her “corpse girl” and say she smells like death? They’re just mean and don’t get how important it is to have someone take care of things when your world is falling apart. Evie loves dusting caskets, polishing pews, and vacuuming the chapel—and on funeral days, she dresses up and hands out tissues and offers her condolences to mourners. She doesn’t normally help her parents with the grieving families directly, until one day when they ask her to help with Oren, a boy who was in a horrific car accident that killed both his parents. Oren refuses to speak and Evie, who is nursing her own private grief, is determined to find a way to help him deal with his loss. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible. Praise for previous books by Joanne Levy: “Levy's narrative is spot on.”—Booklist review for The Sun Will Come Out “The story gives voice to the experience of Jewish preteens; chronic illness and disability are also sensitively tackled in this complex tale about difference, acceptance, and self-confidence. A heartfelt tear-jerker about love, friendship, and courage.”—Kirkus Reviews review for The Sun Will Come Out “Uplifting, gentle…Exudes inter-generational warmth, family love, and friendship.”—Association of Jewish Libraries review for Fish Out of Water “Though brief, this text masterfully connects the toxic masculinity to its roots in deep misogyny, making Fish a hero people of all genders can stand up and cheer for. All readers will appreciate this book’s nuanced messaging around gender roles and trusting yourself.”—Kirkus Reviews, review for Fish Out of Water
