Описание: Neil Gaiman meets Hans Christian Andersen in this delicious fairy tale full of mysterious spirits, daring escapes, and a beautiful message about the power of found families. In all the years that Elinora Gassbeek has been matron of the Little Tulip Orphanage, not once have the Rules for Baby Abandonment been broken. Until the autumn of 1880, when five babies are left in outrageous circumstances; one in a tin toolbox, one in a coal bucket, one in a picnic hamper, one in a wheat sack, and finally, one in a coffin-shaped basket. Those babies were Lotta, Egg, Fenna, Sem, and Milou. And although their cruel matron might think they're "unadoptable," they know their individuality is what makes them special--and so determined to stay together. When a most sinister gentleman appears and threatens to tear them apart, the gang make a daring escape across the frozen canals of Amsterdam. But is their real home--and their real family--already closer than they realize?

Описание: The Graveyard Book meets The Night Circus in this ghostly tale about two friends, one murder mystery, and a world of intrigue. Ema Vaskovб is the twelfth child in her family, born on the twelfth day, of the twelfth month, at the very moment Prague's Astronomical Clock strikes twelve. Right from the start, it is clear that Ema is not an ordinary child. But when her behaviour gets altogether too strange, Ema's parents decide enough is enough, and she is sent to live with her eccentric bicycle-making Uncle Josef.
It is here that Ema meets her very first friend. Silvie is a girl who befriends colonies of bats, trawls treasures from the river, cartwheels down the Hunger Wall, and has but one firm rule: adventures are best served with a drizzle of moonlight and a sprinkling of stars, at midnight.
So when Silvie goes missing, Ema is determined to find her. Even if that means facing her fear of ghosts and infiltrating an alluringly peculiar secret society known as The Midnight Guild . . .

Описание: "Where am I? What is going on? Who are all those people outside?".........Joni replied, "You are in a bicycle race. The race is called RAAM........Baby, you just need to get on your bike and ride." "Em screamed, "Oh my God! Oh my God! He's been hit!" "There is a dark side to RAAM, a side only those who have been there know exists." "My RAAM is over. I have let everyone down..... I don't deserve to finish RAAM" "What I saw, I still get chill bumps thinking about it, because the man took off. I mean, whoosh, he stood up on those pedals and took off."
