THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET
Selznick, Brian
Fiction-Children / Young Adult
|
|
#1 on the New York Times Bestseller List
Selznick's "novel in words and pictures," an intriguing mystery set in 1930s Paris. Orphan, clock keeper and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.
Movie rights have been acquired by Warner Bros. who have asked Martin Scorsese to direct and John Logan (who scripted The Aviator) to write the screenplay adaptation.

''This is a well observed love story with likeable characters. …an important book... very readable and not written to be controversial.'” - The School Librarian of Soul Love
CUT OFF is about Ava and Victoria, two sisters, who couldn't be more different.
Vix is high-achieving and superficially confident or so it seems. But she is harbouring a painful and dangerous secret and the only person who knows what it is is the last person who should know.
Ava feels out of place in her high-achieving, successful family - she is into art rather than academia but despite an obvious talent she feels she is a failure.
It takes an unexpected and dramatic turn of events for the sisters to understand more about each other - and themselves - and for the change to begin which might just make the difference.
Age group: 11+

Set in Hong Kong during the outbreak of WWII, and its aftermath 10 years later, the story alternates between the lives of two vastly different women whose destinies are linked by the events of the war. In 1952, Claire is a provincial newlywed, recently arrived in the flourishing colony of Hong Kong. There, she quickly becomes involved with an enigmatic expatriate, whose visible and emotional injuries raise questions about his past. In 1941, Trudy Liang is a wealthy Eurasian society belle, who finds a kind of salvation in a newly arrived Englishman. For people without true homelands, the dark conflagration will test the limits of loyalty, identity and passion. And as the brutalities of war take their toll on the vulnerable and the brave, each player will learn the price of survival, even at the cost of love. Braced with authentic, sensual detail and keen observations about a forgotten social order, this assured novel evokes the romantic sweep of THE ENGLISH PATIENT and the colonial drama of E.M. Forster.

By award winning historical romance writer, Kristina Cook, this is a wonderful new series set in Edwardian England. Kristina’s Regencies have sold in France, Brazil, Russia and the Czech Republic. Kensington will publish in October 2010.
Miss Miranda Granger had one wish for the upcoming holiday season—to forget the past and rediscover the woman she was before betrayal and a desperate situation rent apart her happiness. A month at the lavish new seaside resort, The Grandview Hotel, should serve as just the tonic she needs, even if she is forced to spend her time reining in her two mischievous stepsisters while her widowed father sees to his business affairs. After all, she’s all but raised the two hellions since their mother’s death so many years ago. If only she could save them both from the cursed Granger temperament—an ungoverned passion coupled with a quick temper. All she can do is hope that her sisters manage to survive it to womanhood unscathed, something she has not managed to accomplish herself.
Troy Davenport comes to The Grandview Hotel for one reason alone—to find Miranda Granger, and to paint her. He’s been able to think of nothing else since meeting the then-anonymous woman on the deck of the ocean liner Lucania so many months ago. Now he has her name—thanks to a well-timed photo on the Society page—and he hopes his paintbrush can unlock the mysterious woman’s secrets. Of course, Troy—an accomplished American painter who was trained by the masters in France—harbors his own secrets, as well. He isn’t who he seems to be, and he has a vested interested in keeping his true identity safe.
Neither Miranda nor Troy are prepared for the passion that flares between them when they meet at the Grandview, blossoming into a grand affair over the course of their stay. Miranda allows herself to believe that, at last, she’s found the happiness she’s hoped for. But back home in Surrey everything falls apart, and Miranda finds herself once again betrayed by the man she loves.
Only nothing is as it seems, and on Christmas Eve back at The Grandview Hotel, a miracle occurs on the chalky cliffs by the sea. Reunited at last, Miranda and Troy look toward a happy future—together.

Young writer who is often referred to as the most talented 21st century Hungarian writer. She studied Latin, English and Finnish languages at the University of ELTE, in Budapest, later Finnish and cultural anthropology in Helsinki.
