Gallowglass

Karina non si era prefissata di liberare il guerriero della Regina dei Seelie. Ora farà di tutto perché resti con lei. Dopo che le loro vite vanno in frantumi in modi diversi ma ugualmente spettacolari, Karina e suo fratello Chris si lasciano alle spalle New York e si dirigono verso il Regno Unito. Karina si seppellisce nelle ricerche per la sua tesi di dottorato, cercando volutamente nel frattempo di non pensare all’uomo che le ha spezzato il cuore, mentre Chris – che era stato un autore di best seller prima che la sua ex fidanzata lo denunciasse per plagio – si ubriaca da una parte all’altra delle Isole Britanniche. Giunti in Scozia, Karina e Chris visitano la tomba di Robert Kirk, un pastore del XVII secolo che si diceva fosse stato rapito dalle fate. Nessuno è più scioccato di Karina quando appare un affascinante uomo dall’accento scozzese che afferma di essere il Robert Kirk della leggenda. Per di più, sostiene di aver passato gli ultimi cento anni come Gallowglass, il sicario personale della Regina dei Seelie. Quando vengono attaccati dai demoni, Karina capisce che la regina lo rivuole indietro ad ogni costo. Mentre Karina e Robert si avvicinano, i tentativi di Chris di annegare i dispiaceri nell’alcool lo conducono in un pub, da una donna di nome Sorcha. Chris è istantaneamente affascinato da lei, tanto da passare intere giornate con Sorcha mentendo alla sorella sui suoi spostamenti. Quando Chris torna a casa coperto di baci di fata, Karina si rende conto che la Regina dei Seelie non sta dando la caccia solo a Robert. Potrà Karina vincere in astuzia sulla Regina dei Seelie, o Robert sarà condannato ad essere per sempre il suo Gallowglass?

Isolated from the rest of the world, deprived of electricity and outside resources, the residents carry on in two separate worlds: the "normal" half; and Carnival, an endless Mardi Gras celebration populated by minotaurs and other monsters, where the music never stops and miracles abound. But now the community leaders who saved the island from chaos and guard the gates between the two halves are aging and their system is faltering. Sloan Gardner, the daughter of one of the gatekeepers, discovers how to cross between the two Galvestons and becomes a link between a father and son whose destinies hold the key to the survival of both worlds. Can a generation with no knowledge of the world before the flood maintain the barrier between the realms of magic and reality, or will the island descend into anarchy?A dramatic exploration of such themes as love, friendship, and honesty, Galveston offers a compelling view of life as a game of chance. Library Journal praised the author of this gripping novel as possessing a "brand of magical realism [that] combines psychological drama with otherworldly images to create a rich tapestry that lingers long after the end of the tale."

Game Changer

"A timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity." —Kirkus"The conceit behind Shusterman’s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author’s usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well." —BooklistAll it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash’s life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it.Impossible though it seems, he’s been hit into another dimension—and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own.The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he’s ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past…universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes.And if he isn’t careful, the world he’s learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence…This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.
