When Everything Feels like the Movies

$15.95 CAD $15.95 USD
An edgy and extravagant YA novel about a glamorous boy named Jude.
School is just like a film set: there's The Crew, who make things happen, The Extras who
fill the empty desks, and The Movie Stars, whom everyone wants tagged in their
Facebook photos. But Jude doesn't fit in. He's not part of The Crew because he isn't
about to do anything unless it's court-appointed; he's not an Extra because nothing
about him is anonymous; and he's not a Movie Star because even though everyone know
his name like an A-lister, he isn't invited to the cool parties. As the director calls action,
Jude is the flamer that lights the set on fire.
Before everything turns to ashes from the resulting inferno, Jude drags his best friend
Angela off the casting couch and into enough melodrama to incite the paparazzi, all
while trying to fend off the haters and win the heart of his favourite co-star Luke
Morris. It's a total train wreck!
But train wrecks always make the front page.

Escape from Tibet
A True Story
by Nick Gray
with Laura Scandiffio
foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Interest Age 12+
Grade 7+
5.5 x 8.5
176 Pages
2014
Two brothers face cruelty, hardship, and hope, on the ultimate journey in search
of freedom.
Eleven-year-old Tenzin hasn’t seen his older brother, Pasang, in five years, so he is thrilled when
Pasang unexpectedly returns to their Tibetan village late one night. Now eighteen, Pasang is an
educated monk whose return from India provokes the suspicious and ever- watchful eyes of
the Chinese authorities. Unbeknownst to Tenzin, Pasang has conspired with their mother to
leave again—taking his younger brother with him, this time, in search of
a better life. At first Tenzin is thrilled to embark on such an adventure
with Pasang. But crushing homesickness soon sets in as the brothers eke
out a meager existence begging in the unfamiliar streets of Lhasa, often
narrowly dodging the police. They finally scrape together enough money
to begin the most harrowing part of their journey: the physically
excruciating, dangerous, and illegal trek to a new country on the other
side of the Himalayan mountains, where they can be granted refugee
status and begin to rebuild their lives. Along the way they suffer abuse at
the hands of border police, meet fellow Tibetans from whom they draw strength, and have a
chance encounter with a film crew that will change their lives.
Based on the true story of the brothers’ journey in the mid-1990s first made into an acclaimed
documentary by Nick Gray, Escape from Tibet is a riveting tale of courage, adventure, and
triumph. The outpouring of support for the boys that resulted after the documentary aired in
the U.K. led to the brothers moving to Britain, where they live today. Only now do they feel
that the full story of their daring escape can be told.
A foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and an introduction provide historical context.
Black and white photographs of Nick Gray’s travels through Tibet vividly evoke the boys’
homeland, and a timeline, glossary, and maps further contextualize the Tibetans’ controversial
and ongoing struggle with China.

End of the Line, The
by Sharon E. McKay
Annick Press 2014
Interest Age 8 - 11
Grade 3 - 7
5.5 x 8.25
128 Pages
Ordinary citizens risk everything to save a young
Jewish girl in wartime Holland.
Five-year-old Beatrix looks on in horror as the soldier
forces her mother off the tram. It is 1942 in Amsterdam,
and everyone knows what happens to Jews who are
taken away by the Nazis. The soldier turns his attention
to Beatrix, when suddenly, the ticket-taker, Lars Gorter,
blurts out that she is his niece. With his brother Hans,
the tram conductor, they manage to rescue the child
from the same fate as her mother.
The two elderly brothers realize that they are now in
charge of the little girl. They are at a loss—after all,
neither one has ever married, let alone has children.
They know that harboring a Jew could cost them their
lives, but in desperation, they turn to a neighbor, Mrs.
Vos, for help. But even these kindly rescuers cannot shield Beatrix totally from the
horrors of war.
Based on real events, this suspenseful novel vividly portrays the fear, uncertainty, and
terror of the Nazi occupation in Holland. It is a story that reflects both the worst and
best of humankind. A worthy addition to children’s books about the Holocaust, The End
of the Line will leave young readers to ponder how the most dreadful conditions can lead
ordinary citizens to perform the most heroic acts. People like Lars, Hans, and Mrs. Vos,
who risked their own lives to save Jews in wartime Europe, were later recognized and
honored as “Righteous Gentiles.”

By the same author:
When little Kai is brought to the orphanage,
an older child, Pax, immediately takes him
under his wing.
Left on their own after the orphanage shuts
down, Pax is determined to keep Kai safe,
but life on the streets is tough—and dangerous. In a desperate attempt to make enough
money to keep Kai in school, Pax unwittingly
transports a bomb, which explodes, killing
and maiming hundreds of people.
Pax and Kai escape the deadly explosion, only
to be arrested and charged with terrorism.
What follows is a descent into the hellish
prison where brutal guards stop at nothing
to make Pax talk.
This haunting novel brings home the tragic
situation in which children in over 40 countries
are tortured with impunity. But it also speaks
to the strength of love in the most dire
situations.

YOUNG ADULT • ISBN: 9781922089854 PB • 304 pages
Kate McCaffrey is known for her emotionally hard-hitting, accurate
portrayals of teens under pressure, and her latest novel is her best
yet. Seventeen-year-old Lucy is a star student looking forward to the
future when her boyfriend is severely injured in a car crash. In shock,
and haunted by guilt over a fight they had just before the accident,
Lucy is barely hanging on when another bombshell drops: she’s
pregnant. McCaffrey has created something unique with Lucy. She’s
mature and capable, willing to ask for help when she needs it, and
able to learn from her mistakes. This is a book about teen pregnancy
that also explores grief, confronts issues surrounding a woman’s
right to choose, and — without implication of weakness — shows the
mental scars that Lucy will have to bear. A powerful and moving story
for teens 14 and up. Books+Publishing

CAROUSEL
BRENDAN RITCHIE
MAY 2015 • YOUNG ADULT • ISBN: 9781925162141 PB • 352 pages
Nox is an arts graduate wondering what to do with his life. Taylor and Lizzy are famous
indie musicians, and Rocky works the checkouts at Target.
When they find themselves trapped in a giant shopping centre (that has mysterious access to
electricity), they eat fast food, watch bad TV, hang out together and wait for the mess to be
sorted. The days pass by without sign of any other human beings or phone/internet contact with
the outside world, and the novelty of having their own mall loses its appeal. Why has no one
come to help them? Or come to work, for that matter? As the weeks turn to months food supplies
begin to run low and they try to find a way out. The four are faced with the terrifying prospect
that they really are all alone. Why has something terrible happened to everyone but them?

GABI, A GIRL IN PIECES
by Isabel Quintero
Cinco Puntos Press
Page Count : 208
Product Dimensions :6x9 in
Publication Date: August 18, 2014
July 24
My mother named me Gabriella, after my grandmother who, coincidentally, didn't want to meet me when
I was born because my mother was unmarried, and therefore living in sin. My mom has told me the
story many, many, MANY, times of how, when she confessed to my grandmother that she was pregnant
with me, her mother beat her. BEAT HER! She was twenty-five. That story is the basis of my sexual
education and has reiterated why it's important to wait until you're married to give it up. So now, every
time I go out with a guy, my mom says, "Ojos abiertos, piernas cerradas." Eyes open, legs closed. That's
as far as the birds and the bees talk has gone. And I don't mind it. I don't necessarily agree with that
whole wait until you're married crap, though. I mean, this is America and the 21st century; not Mexico
one hundred years ago. But, of course, I can't tell my mom that because she will think I'm bad. Or
worse: trying to be White.
Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year in high school in her diary: Cindy's pregnancy,
Sebastian's coming out, the cute boys, her father's meth habit, and the food she craves.
And best of all, the poetry that helps forge her identity.
Isabel Quintero was born and raised in Southern California. Her love of reading
and writing comes from her mother reading to her before she went to bed, and
from the teachers and professors who encouraged her to keep writing. Her love
of chorizo and carne asada tacos comes from her dad grilling on Sundays during
summertime. She is an elementary school library technician and loves sharing her
passion for the written word with students. She also teaches community college
part time and works as a freelance writer for the Arts Connection of San
Bernardino. Quintero works as events coordinator for Orange Monkey
Publishing and assistant editor for Tin Cannon, a literary journal. She still lives in
SoCal and enjoys going on adventures with her wonderful husband, Fernando.

Out on the Water
Twelve Tales of the Sea
by Tessa Duder; illustrated by Bruce Potter
Libro International, a division of Oratia Media
Publication Date: 6 November 2014
Paperback, 234 x 153 mm,
152 pages b&w with line drawings
New collection evokes the adventure of sailing and
the sea for younger readers
Renowned children’s author Tessa Duder and illustrator Bruce Potter have combined to
produce a stirring collection of twelve stories about kids out on the water around New
Zealand.
The stories in Out on the Water range from a girl’s experience of her first Optimist regatta
to a boy learning the ropes on a tall ship from Sydney to Auckland in the 1880s.
Each story features a full-page line drawing, and weaves into the text a rich thread of
sailing words and knowledge (helped by a glossary of language of the sea).
This is Tessa Duder’s first fiction for young adults in over ten years. Her most recent
young adult nonfiction is The Story of Sir Peter Blake – and one of the new stories is a
fictionalised account of Peter Blake and brother Tony on an after-school sail across
Waitemata Harbour.
In the book’s introduction, Tessa writes how the book answers the request from a
grandson for stories about children going sailing. “So here are twelve stories about
young people having a wide range of experiences on the water – inshore as crew or
skipper, or as crew on offshore voyages.” Tessa, who lives on Auckland’s North Shore, is
a keen sailor with a long-standing commitment to the sport in New Zealand, from
tutoring Optimist sailors to her work for the Spirit of Adventure Trust.

2014 National Jewish Book Award
A brilliant schoolboy in seventeenth-century Amsterdam quickly learns to keep his ideas
to himself. When he is twenty-three, those ideas prove so scandalous to his religious
community that he is cast out, cursed, and effectively erased from their communal life.
The scandal shows no sign of waning as his ideas spread throughout Europe, where he
is almost universally reviled as an instrument of the devil. At the center of the storm, he
lives the simplest of lives, quietly devoted to his work as a lens grinder and to his
steadfast search for the truth—an endeavor that paves the way to all that is best in
modern democracies. He does not live to see the results of his efforts, but his ideas
change the world.
Part biography, part history, part exploration of Spinoza’s philosophy: wholly
engaging. . . . Throughout this ambitious and thorough narrative, Lehmann does an
outstanding job of illuminating Spinoza’s concepts in a clear, concise and logical manner
and gives them contextual relevance by illuminating the pertinent political and social
upheavals of the time. . . . Clarity, accessibility and spot-on relevance to issues facing
modern society make this a must-read.
“I was born in New York City; grew up partly there and partly in Dallas,
Texas; and now live in Ra’anana, Israel, a town just north of Tel Aviv,
where I run an after-school language arts program for approximately 100
native English speakers. I have fond memories of my own education. I
especially loved my undergraduate years at Yale, where I majored in French.
Eventually I also earned a master’s in English from Georgetown and a
doctorate in education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Along
the way I completed graduate-level but non-degree work in Jewish studies.”

The Saga of Gudrid the Far Traveler
Namelos 2015
212 pagine
+ 12
The twin peaks of Snow Fell shone like silver horns in the clear morning
light. It was a fine, blue-sky day. The wind blew strong and cold from the
east. The sail bellied out in a clean white arc, sighing, the sail ropes
groaning. At the masthead, Gudrid’s blue silk ribbons fluttered and
twisted and snapped. Kari, who was no older than she, had shinnied up the
mast to knot them there for her.
La tranquilla vita domestica trascorsa tra la filatura, la preparazione del formaggio e
dello skyr, la raccolta di erbe per il tè, poteva bastare per le altre giovani, ma non per
Gudrid, la figlia di Thorbjorn di Laugarbrekka. Se Leif Eiriksson aveva avuto l'ardire di
navigare a occidente e scoprire una nuova e ricca terra, perché a Gudrid non sarebbe
stato permesso? Che cosa c'era al di là del limite occidentale del mondo conosciuto dai
Vichinghi?
Le saghe medievali islandesi recano solo esiti tracce della storia di Gudrid, ma fanno
intuire avventure e vicende che renderebbero eterna la sua leggenda. Con il suo
romanzo, Nancy Marie Brown colma di dettagli la saga, creando un ritratto coinvolgente
di una straordinaria giovane donna determinata a seguire una sua strada modo in un
mondo dominato dagli uomini, con suo ingegno, la sua fantasia e il suo coraggio.
Nancy Marie Brown ha studiato letteratura medievale
all'università e ha visitato l'Islanda per la prima volta nel 1986, e
da allora è ritornata più volte sull'isola.
Ha pubblicato tre libri di saggistica sulla storia islandese, i miti,
la scienza, e le saghe, tra i quali The Traveler Far: Voyages of a
Viking Woman, che l'ha ispirata nella stesura del suo primo
romanzo. Nata in Pennsylvania, Nancy attualmente vive su una
fattoria del Vermont dove alleva quattro cavalli e un cane da
pastore islandesi .

Oswald, the head falconer at Castle Kragenberg, had asked Andreas

stayed behind, cleaning around the perches, sorting hunting equipment,
and doing his other chores.»
Andreas è un giovane apprendista falconiere del castello di Kragenberg, ma non
sopporta l'idea di veder morire l'animale che ha addestrato e lo fa fuggire. In breve egli
stesso è costretto alla fuga, e scappa nascosto nel carro di un equivoco mercante,
Riccardo di Bruges. Comincia così una serie di avventure che portano Andreas e il suo
falcone dalla Germania settentrionale fino ai luoghi più remoti dell'Impero di Federico di

At the edge of the woods the girl hesitated, then darted forward like a deer. Stopping in
front of the house, she dug into the pocket of her dress and placed something on the
bottom step. Then turned at once and ran, disappearing quickly into the pines. To Rainy
Barnes, it is a mystery where this girl and her presents come from—a silver medallion on
a chain, a bracelet with a flat green stone, a bright gold ring. But the bigger mystery to
Rainy is her own existence: as an infant she was found by Papa Will in the crook of a
tree, wrapped in a big soft blanket, with raindrops on her cheeks.
River Music is told in a symphony of voices, the voices of people, black and white,
whose lives are intertwined in the unsettled, unsettling years following the Civil War.
Throughout, the cadences of life in the rural South lure the reader to piece together
Rainy’s story and the stories of those around her.
Leigh Sauerwein is a writer who has published extensively for

Song for Eloise. A native of the United States, Leigh lived in France for
more than thirty years and now lives with her husband in Berlin.
