New Releases by Trenton Lee Stewart

A un anno esatto da quando aveva reclutato Reynie, Sticky, Kate e Constance per una pericolosa missione segreta nel Venerabile Istituto per i Veri Illuminati - che solo giovani geni dai talenti straordinari avrebbero potuto portare a termine - Nicholas Benedict organizza una rimpatriata nella sua casa di Stonetown promettendo una "sorpresa". Ma quella che doveva essere una celebrativa caccia al tesoro, una grande avventura piena di rompicapi strabilianti progettata per mettere alla prova i talenti individuali dei quattro ragazzi - l''abilità nella deduzione logica di Reynie, la memoria prodigiosa di Sticky, la creatività di Kate e la caparbietà di Constance - si trasformerà in una sfida inaspettata colma di insidie. Proprio durante i preparativi, infatti, il signor Benedict cade nella trappola orchestrata dal suo gemello malvagio, Ledroptha Curtain. Per ritrovarlo i quattro ragazzi dovranno mettere a frutto ogni briciolo delle proprie capacità prodigiose ed essere più uniti che mai per affrontare la sfida più grande di tutte che, una volta ancora, dimostrerà quanto sia grande e profonda la loro amicizia.

In Trenton Lee Stewart’s debut novel, a young man holed up in a decrepit trailer in tiny Lockers Creek, Arkansas, considers himself a failure. Abe Pittenger has spent the last few years doing roof work, the last month enduring a ceaseless rain, and the last few days on a desolate trip to the Gulf, saying goodbye to his oldest friend. Abe has bad knees, flat tires, a dying cat, and no plans. When the rain becomes a brutal storm and a flood claims the countryside, he unexpectedly finds himself in haunted territory that will shadow him the rest of his life. Marie Hamilton, meanwhile, has arrived in the pouring rain, knocking on the door of a middle-class Hot Springs home--that of her father, whom she has not known since she was a child. Bringing all her possessions in the trunk of her car, leaving her troubled history on the road behind her, Marie has one goal: to begin her life anew. When Abe and Marie meet and fall into a tumultuous relationship, they are forced to rethink their respective pasts--uncovering and confronting secrets they would rather not disturb.
