New Releases by Laura Geringer

There are times we all feel we need more than one heart to get through. When Briana’s father dies, she imagines she has a new heart growing inside her. It speaks to her in her Dad’s voice. Some of its commands are mysterious. Find Her! it says. Be Your Own! How can Briana “be her own” when her grieving mother needs her to take care of her demanding little brother all the time? When all her grandpa can do is tell stories instead of being the “rock" she needs? When her not-so-normal home life leaves no time to pursue her dream of writing for the school literary magazine? When the first blush of a new romance threatens to be nipped in the bud? Forced by the loss of her favorite parent to see all that was once familiar with new eyes, Briana draws on her own imagination, originality, and tender loving heart to discover a surprising path through the storm.

When his parents tell him it’s time for bed, a little boy enlists the help of his bedroom toys, one by one, to noisily emphasize his retort: GO AWAY! Definitely not your typical lullaby, the book’s repetitive beat of booms and dings and clinks and blings forms a rhythm all its own that will have kids joining in and marching right off to dreamland.

Coleção Aventuras Encantadas Antes de São Nicolau ter sido São Nicolau, ele era Norte, Nicolau São Norte, um destemido espadachim, rufião e notório fora da lei. Sua destreza com todo tipo de armamento era notável. Tesouros e riquezas eram o que buscava a todo custo. Estava longe de ser um herói. Mas heróis não nascem heróis... eles são colocados à prova. Quando vilões verdadeiros entram em cena, na forma volátil de Breu e seus temíveis Medonhos, Norte encontra outro uso para suas famosas habilidades de lutador. Aqui, no primeiro volume de uma série de épicas aventuras dos Guardiões, encontre o lendário São Nicolau. Você deve conhecê-lo há anos, mas, na realidade, você não o conhece nem um pouco... Luzes irradiadas pela lua, usadas exclusivamente para proteger as crianças; vaga-lumes que lutam bravamente e ursos tão benevolentes quanto os de pelúcia são alguns dos elementos mágicos apresentados por William Joyce em Nicolau São Norte e a batalha contra o Rei dos Pesadelos, primeiro livro da série Os Guardiões - que deu origem ao filme A origem dos Guardiões. O resultado é um conto de fadas moderno, surpreendente e inusitado.
