Aru Shah and the City of Gold (Pandava #4)
by Roshani ChokshiAru Shah and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras. <p><p> Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wishes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her. <p><p> Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The gods have been too devious up to now. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials. If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld. <p><p> Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? <p><p> Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series, a fantasy adventure loosely based on mythology, will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now.

As Ondas
by Jen Minkman Jessica RodriguesA primeira memória que tenho de meu avô é um momento que compartilhamos. Estou sentado no joelho dele olhando para a baía. Vovô está fumando um cachimbo. Ele aponta para o horizonte. "Olhe, Walt. Nossos navios estão lá fora. E um dia, um navio ainda mais bonito vai aparecer no horizonte. Um navio poderoso para levar todos nós.” "Para onde, vovô?” eu perguntei curioso. Ele permaneceu em silêncio. "Ninguém sabe exatamente,” ele disse afinal, “mas isso não o torna menos fantástico. Um dia, esse navio chegará. E Anabelle estará na proa com os braços abertos, convidando todos nós para subir a bordo.” A Deusa com os cabelos negros balançando no vento, como retratada na maior parede de nosso templo. "Por que não navegamos até ela nós mesmos?" eu queria saber. "Porque ela prometeu que viria," Vovô respondeu. "E nessa promessa nós confiamos. Somente os Incrédulos acham que podem fazer tudo sozinhos. Eles não têm fé na Deusa." Walt mora em Hope Harbor, uma comunidade de uma ilha que põe sua salvação de além-mares. Os cidadãos esperam pacientemente, construindo seus navios para navegar e dar as boas vindas a Deusa, e devotamente visitam o templo toda semana. Histórias de terror para assustar as crianças são contadas sobre os Incrédulos do outro lado de Tresco. Mas nem tudo é o que parece, Walt tem questões que ninguém consegue responder, e quando seu melhor amigo e primo Yorrick é morto em um acidente, ele vai fundo para descobrir a verdade sobre as origens da sociedade de Hope Harbor...e os segredos do templo.

As She Climbed Across the Table
by Jonathan LethemAnna Karenina left her husband for a dashing officer. Lady Chatterley left hers for the gamekeeper. Now Alice Coombs has her boyfriend for nothing ... nothing at all. Just how that should have come to pass and what Philip Engstrand, Alice's spurned boyfriend, can do about it is the premise for this vertiginous speculative romance by the acclaimed author of Gun, with Occasional Music. Alice Coombs is a particle physicist, and she and her colleagues have created a void, a hole in the universe, that they have taken to calling Lack. But Lack is a nullity with taste--tastes; it absorbs a pomegranate, light bulbs, an argyle sock; it disdains a bow tie, an ice ax, and a scrambled duck egg. To Alice, this selectivity translates as an irresistible personality. To Philip, it makes Lack an unbeatable rival, for how can he win Alice back from something that has no flaws--because it has no qualities? Ingenious, hilarious, and genuinely mind-expanding, As She Climbed Across the Table is the best boy-meets-girl-meets-void story ever written. From the Trade Paperback edition.
