New Releases by Margo Lanagan

One of a series of stories set in the magical cities of Quentaris.

Ranging from the trench cities of the northern battlefields to the bucking volcanic landscapes of the southern mountains, from the intricate arts of mannikin-making to the rebirth of the legendary Anwi, this is a saga of war and romance and the power of the past over present, and life over death.

Das Leben von Mel (16) wird auf einen Schlag unerträglich, als sie wegen einer Abtreibung von ihren Mitschülern geschnitten wird und zudem ihr Vater wegen einer anderen Frau die Familie verlässt.

A new edition of Margo Lanagan''s brave, exhilarating novel about the passion and pain of teenage love, sexuality and childbirth. A book for adult readers as well as young adults.

A confronting, intensely moving story about the intricate bonds of friendship, the shock of a brutal death, the slow torment of grief, and the seeds of happiness.

A live animal leaping out of a video game? Unbelievable. And yet there it is in Macka''s lap: soft and smelly, alert and terrified, like a real animal; but also glowing with strange energy.

''Intriguing, accessible and highly original.'' - Reading Time ''A fascinating mystery/adventure with a thought-provoking message.'' - Margaret Dunkle, Australian Bookseller and Publisher

A ghost story with a difference - spooky, mysterious but also very funny in places - for 10- to 13-year-olds.
