Nolan, il fratello minore, è solo e senza amici. Preso di mira da tutta la scuola, si sente un perdente. Odia essere costantemente difeso dal fratello maggiore. Krystal, la loro sorellina, vorrebbe che la sua famiglia sorridesse più spesso. È felice, fino a che qualcuno la costringerà ad avere paura del mondo che la circonda. Leonardo è il bulletto della situazione, arrogante e spietato, si crede il re del mondo. I tre fratelli lotteranno con tutte le loro forze per abbattere i loro problemi nonostante sia dura, nonostante tutto e tutti... ma ne varrà la pena? Gli sforzi porteranno a un trionfo?
The secrets of the angels
Una storia fantastica che racchiude in sé molte altre storie: cinque amiche entrano in contatto con gli Angeli, le ragazze avranno modo, nella complessa situazione di scambio fra il loro mondo e la realtà del mondo angelico, di saldare la loro amicizia e imparare a conoscere e amare le creature fantastiche che incontrano. Tra gli Angeli della narrazione ci sono molti conflitti, lotte intestine e, spesso, molto dolore ma anche amore incondizionato e fedeltà e questi sentimenti si intersecano con la quotidianità delle “umane”. Un romanzo di esordio di una giovane scrittrice che, con molto romanticismo e tenerezza, immagina la vita di tutti i giorni nello scambio “angelico” di gioie e dolori e, soprattutto, d’amore.

Destined to become a classic, What Is a Child? is a must-have for every school, library, and bedside table.
Cultural Mobility
Cultural Mobility offers a model for understanding the patterns of meaning that human societies create. It has emerged under the very distinguished editorial guidance of Stephen Greenblatt and represents a new way of thinking about culture and cultures with which scholars in many disciplines will need to engage.
A Fringe of Leaves
Set in Australia in the 1840s, A FRINGE OF LEAVES combines dramatic action with a finely distilled moral vision. Returning home to England from Van Diemen's land, the Bristol Maid is shipwrecked on the Queensland coast and Mrs Roxburgh is taken prisoner by a tribe of aborigines, along with the rest of the passengers and crew. In the course of her escape, she is torn by conflicting loyalties - to her dead husband, to her rescuer, to her own and to her adoptive class.

Amy by Any Other Name
When sixteen-year-old Amy wakes up in a hospital bed, terribly injured from a dive onto hidden rocks in a quarry, her shattered body is not the worst of her troubles. The worst of it is the fact that the body is not her own. An over-achiever from a wealthy Toronto family, Amy has somehow ended up in the body of Krystal, a troubled girl from North-End Kingston. No one, of course, believes what Amy says. Amy's drive and determination help her to build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the life she once had. Or does she? Amy by Any Other Name is a story about what makes us who were are-and about the human capacity to grow and change.
Bullied
Every day, all over the country, teenagers struggle with the realities of bullying. Tormented, ridiculed, and beaten—simply for being who they are—these teens face alienation, humiliation, and even the explicit assertion that they have somehow brought this upon themselves, that they should just blend in. Bullied is a series of short stories exploring the world of these teens from several different viewpoints: the victim, the bully, the gay bystander, the straight friend, the concerned parent. Closeted Bryan wonders why Christian Michaelson doesn't just try to blend in if he hates being bullied so much. Star athlete David isn't a homophobe—after all, he's not afraid of anything. Jonatha...
Santa Evita
Eva Peron entered immortality on 26th July, 1952. The bizarre after-life of her embalmed body - hidden, hijacked, replicated, smuggled abroad, buried, resurrected, repatriated - echoed her equally strange life. From the story of the plain poor-trash girl who reinvented herself to become first the uncrowned queen of Argentina's masses and then their uncanonized saint, Tomas Eloy Martinez has created a mesmerizing, highly readable work of fiction.
