New Releases by Ann Brashares

Una mattina ti svegli e tutto sembra un po' diverso. La tua casa è la stessa, i genitori e i fratelli anche, eppure le cose non sono esattamente come ieri. Il puzzle che raffigura il tuo Paese è sempre sul tavolo, ma ha un altro nome. Poi arriva la polizia, stanno cercando un tuo amico, hanno i cani, fanno paura. Sul loro furgone leggi la scritta Proprietà delle S.S. - Westfallen, Deutschland, con sotto una svastica. È ciò che succede a Henry, Frances e Lukas: i tre ragazzi americani si ritrovano da un giorno all'altro in una società governata dai nazisti. La Germania, in questo mondo alternativo, ha vinto la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, ed eccone le conseguenze. Ma come uscire da un tale incubo? Come riportare il mondo sui binari della Storia? La chiave sta forse in una vecchia radio che i ragazzi hanno scoperto tempo prima, seppellita nel giardino di Henry. Il misterioso apparecchio li ha messi in contatto con Alice, Lawrence e Artie, che vivono proprio dove abitano loro... ma nel lontano 1944. Henry, Frances e Lukas ora hanno soltanto la radio e i nuovi amici del passato per raddrizzare il corso del tempo e tornare alle loro vite. Ci vorrà ingegno, coraggio, e tutta la forza della loro amicizia. Un'avventura dal ritmo serrato e cinematografico, scritto a quattro mani dall'autrice bestseller Ann Brashares e dal fratello Ben.

From #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants author Ann Brashares and her brother Ben Brashares comes the second book in the action-packed middle grade alternate history thriller trilogy that asks what present-day America would be like if Germany had won World War II. Former best friends Henry, Frances, and Lukas thought they’d managed to restore history to its original path after their antics with a time-bending radio went awry. But they’re still trapped in Westfallen, the version of present-day America where the Axis won WWII, living an alternate—and much darker—version of their lives. Henry has to work at the Home for Incurables, Lukas is on hard labor all day, and only Frances, whose parents are members of the Nazi elite, gets to go to school and move freely. And since they and their friends in 1944 destroyed the radio, they have to find cruder and ever-more-desperate ways to communicate across time. Frances uses her privilege in Westfallen to gather as much information as she can, while Henry tries to turn Lukas into a local baseball hero to save him from being sent away to a work camp. But the deeper the three friends and their 1944 counterparts dig into how Westfallen came to be, the more they begin to attract unwanted attention from people with a vested interest in making sure this version of history becomes permanent…at any cost.

On a modifié le cours de l'histoire. À nous de le corriger. Quelle est la pire chose que vous ayez jamais faite ? Réfléchissez-y vraiment. Maintenant, multipliez ça par un milliard. Vous serez toujours loin de ce que j'ai fait, moi. Moi, c'est Henry Platt. J'ai douze ans. Je parle de moi, mais en réalité, je ne devrais pas m'attribuer tout le mérite. Nous étions six, pour être exact. Trois dans le passé, trois dans le présent, liés par une radio temporelle. Nous sommes tous coupables. Et si rien ne s'arrange, il faudra que vous sachiez ce qui s'est réellement passé. Dans le meilleur des cas, vous n'entendrez jamais parler ni d'une victoire des nazis durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ni de Westfallen – le nouveau nom des États-Unis. Les pages que vous allez lire seront la seule preuve de ce que nous avons fait. Autrement... pardonnez-nous.

A beautifully written novel about love, class differences, and betrayal playing out over the course of a fractured American family’s Long Island summer from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares, author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. “A gorgeously written novel on love, loss and family.” —NICOLA YOON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they’ve shared almost everything—reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they’ve never met. Sasha’s dad was once married to Ray’s mom, and together they had three daughters: Emma, the perfectionist; Mattie, the beauty; and Quinn, the favorite. But the marriage crumbled and the bitterness lingered. Now there are two new families—and neither one will give up the beach house that holds the memories, happy and sad, of summers past. The choices we make come back to haunt us; the effect on our destinies ripples out of our control . . . or does it? This summer, the lives of Sasha, Ray, and their siblings intersect in ways none of them ever dreamed, in a novel about family relationships, keeping secrets, and most of all, love. ★ “Masterful.” —PW, Starred ★ “A continuous, consistently engrossing narrative . . . deeply moving.” —The Bulletin, Starred “A gorgeous exploration of family, secrets, and love.” —Teen Vogue “You absolutely must read it.” —PopCrush An Amazon Best of the Month Selection A Teen Choice Book Award nominee!

Then Paul goes to university, and he leaves them both behind him. Three years later, as Alice prepares to start Law School, Paul returns.
