New Releases by Scott Westerfeld

Meet the Mortons- In this family, murder is currency - and business is booming. The Mortons are a modern day, old-money dynasty with impeccable taste, from their exquisitely crafted cocktails to their expertly tailored vintage garments. They are also stone-cold killers. For the Mortons, homicide is heritage. They, along with the other legacy crime families, send their progeny to Helshire College, where the legacy kids strategically intermingle with ordinary students from wealthy families. Jessica Morton has always excelled at Helshire, secure in her knowledge that she is the prodigy of her generation. Now, having committed her first kill at her matriarch's behest, it should be Jessica's moment, her honor. But that kill will cut more ways than one, unknotting deep secrets that propel a series of revelations, spanning the Mortons' country estate, the New York City art world, and Helshire itself. What happens to Jessica when all of her dearly held certainties face the axe? Sharp and hypnotic, The Mortons is an epic novel of alliances and power, loyalty and kinship, and the consequences of ruthless ambition. 'The Mortons is a tour de force- witty, thrilling and deliciously cruel. Enjoy it with a stiff cocktail.' Lev Grossman

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The final installment of Scott Westerfeld's New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series--a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend. A few years after rebel Tally Youngblood takes down the Specials regime, a cultural renaissance sweeps the world. "Tech-heads" flaunt their latest gadgets, "kickers" spread gossip and trends, and "surge monkeys" are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. Popularity rules, and everyone craves fame. Fifteen-year-old Aya Fuse is no exception. But Aya's face rank is so low, she's a total nobody. An extra. Her only chance at stardom is to kick a wild and unexpected story. Then she stumbles upon a big secret. Aya knows she is on the cusp of celebrity. But the information she is about to disclose will change both her fate...and that of the brave new world.

Em um mundo de extrema perfeição, ser normal é feio. Neste primeiro volume da série best seller do New York Times, com novo projeto gráfico, Tally Youngblood não vê a hora de completar dezesseis anos e finalmente ganhar a cirurgia para se tornar a versão perfeita de si mesma. Mas, enquanto conta os dias para o tão esperado momento, ela descobre que os rebeldes podem estar mais perto do que imagina. Séculos depois da destruição da civilização industrial em um apocalipse ecológico, a humanidade vive em cidades-bolha cercadas pela natureza selvagem. Lá, Tally Youngblood é feia. Não, isso não significa que ela é alguma aberração da natureza. Não. Ela simplesmente ainda não completou 16 anos. Em Vila Feia, os adolescentes ficam presos em alojamentos até o aniversário de 16 anos, quando recebem um grande presente do governo: uma operação plástica como nunca vista antes na história da humanidade. Suas feições são corrigidas à perfeição, a pele é trocada por outra, sem imperfeições ou espinhas, seus ossos são substituídos por uma liga artificial, mais leve e resistente, os olhos se tornam grandes e os lábios, cheios e volumosos. Em suma, aos 16 anos todos ficam perfeitos. Tally mal pode esperar pelo seu aniversário. Depois da operação, vai finalmente deixar Vila Feia e se mudar para Nova Perfeição, onde os perfeitos vivem, bebem, pulam de paraquedas, voam a bordo de suas pranchas magnéticas, e se divertem. Uma noite, ela conhece Shay, uma feia que não está nem um pouco ansiosa para completar 16 anos. Pelo contrário: Shay pretende fugir dos limites da cidade e se juntar à Fumaça, um grupo de foras-da-lei que sobrevive retirando seu sustento da natureza. Para Tally, isso é uma maluquice. Mas, quando sua amiga desaparece, os Especiais, autoridade máxima deste novo mundo, propõem um acordo com Tally: unir-se a eles contra os enfumaçados ou ficar feia para sempre. Tally, porém, acaba se envolvendo em uma conspiração e descobrirá que, por trás de tanta perfeição, se esconde um terrível segredo. Sua escolha irá mudar o mundo para sempre.

Seuls survivants d'un crash aérien, un groupe d'adolescents se réveille au beau milieu d'une jungle à l'apparence surnaturelle. Etrange, ils pensaient survoler l'Arctique... Peu de nourriture, plus d'eau potable, les rescapés doivent assurer leur survie, mais aussi se défendre contre les menaces qui peuplent cet endroit inconnu.

Leur crash est-il vraiment un accident ? Ou sont-ils le jouet d'une expérience qui les dépasse ?

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Westerfeld comes a “masterful” (Cory Doctorow) novel-within-a-novel that you won’t be able to put down. Darcy Patel has put college on hold to publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. With a contract in hand, she arrives in New York City with no apartment, no friends, and all the wrong clothes. But lucky for Darcy, she’s taken under the wings of other seasoned and fledgling writers who help her navigate the city and the world of writing and publishing. Over the course of a year, Darcy finishes her book, faces critique, and falls in love. Woven into Darcy’s personal story is her novel, Afterworlds, a suspenseful thriller about a teen who slips into the “Afterworld” to survive a terrorist attack. The Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead, and where many unsolved—and terrifying—stories need to be reconciled. Like Darcy, Lizzie too falls in love…until a new threat resurfaces, and her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she cares about most.

Plusieurs années se sont écoulées depuis que la rebelle Tally a renversé le système des Uglies, des Pretties et des Specials. Débarrassé de ces castes, le monde connaît une véritable renaissance, sous le regard permanent de mille millions de caméras. La société n'est plus qu'une gigantesque émission de télé-réalité. La célébrité règne sur le monde... Une chose pourtant n'a pas changé : les moins de seize ans ne sont pas censés se montrer en ville. Surtout quand on est une extra comme Aya, une anonyme au rang facial ridicule. Sa seule chance de s'arracher à la médiocrité : claquer sur le nouveau réseau une histoire inouïe et... dangereuse.

“This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves.”—Shay Uglies told Tally Youngblood’s version of life in Uglyville and the budding rebellion against the Specials. Now comes an exciting graphic novel revealing new adventures in the Uglies world—as seen through the eyes of Shay, Tally’s rebellious best friend who’s not afraid to break the rules, no matter the cost. A few months shy of her sixteenth birthday, Shay eagerly awaits her turn to become a Pretty—a rite-of-passage operation called “the Surge” that transforms ordinary Uglies into paragons of beauty. Yet after befriending the Crims, a group of fellow teens who refuse to take anything in society at face value, Shay starts to question the whole concept. And as the Crims explore beyond the monitored borders of Uglyville into the forbidden, ungoverned wild, Shay must choose between the perks of being Pretty and the rewards of being real.

All three books in Scott Westerfeld''s around-the-world, steampunk, adventure trilogy, now collected together in one ebook bundle!

The riveting conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling trilogy that’s “sure to become a classic” (School Library Journal). Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren’t technically enemies. The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: Secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is as it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy.

Tally Youngblood, who lives in a futuristic society where the government radically changes everyone''s appearance on their sixteenth birthdays, discovers a different way of life when she is ordered to spy on a colony of rebels.

Includes an excerpt from Westerfeld''s new series, "Leviathan."
