Описание: Why do some people thrive while others merely survive? It seems that the answer lies not in the circumstances that we each experience, but rather, in our individual brains. This title explains why we think, decide and act the way we do. It shows you how to Wake Up, Think Differently, and Grow, changing your life in often surprising ways.

Описание: In a series of interlinking episodes and intertwining stories, The Sugar Sugar Cafe book looks at the lives, lived out in quiet (or not so quiet) desperation, of a cast of 'ordinary' individuals in a small town on the outskirts of Cork city in Ireland in the dark days after the 2008 financial crash. The action centres on The Sugar Sugar Cafй - a small, 'greasy spoon' cafй in Rathluirc - but encompasses other locations as far flung as Manila and New York city, as the story shifts between past and present, between comedy and tragedy, between fantasy and grim reality.

A bleak yet compelling narrative, told through the alternating perspectives of each of the key characters, hammers home the extent to which, for so many people, daily life is mostly taken up with a gruelling struggle to simply get by, and isolation and frustration are an inevitable part of the everyday routine. This sense of hopelessness is alleviated, however, by many moments of dark humour - and above all, by the rich and often surprising inner lives of these individuals, into which we as readers are given a privileged glimpse.

As the novel progresses, each character reaches their own individual point of crisis. Some will look disaster squarely in the face and manage to sidestep its worst consequences; others will plunge with a kind of fatalistic enthusiasm into fresh setback and new worlds of pain. The common denominator in all of their stories is a realisation that many of the key structures of modern society - family, church, romantic relationships, work, school, the justice system - all the things we are taught to aspire to - are woefully inadequate in helping us navigate the crushing realities of the daily grind.

Dark and yet funny, tragic and yet comic, the 'nasty, brutish and short' lives depicted in this compelling novel are rescued from despair by the deep humanity and compassion of the writer who has conceived them.

Описание: Fast-paced adventures and a crackling voice frame the tale of orphan Milo Quick's final days in the doomed flying city of Highgate. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's layered storytelling and Adam Gidwitz's wry narrators.

Taken in the night and delivered to the flying city of Highgate when he was a small child, Milo Quick has never known another home. Now almost thirteen, Milo survives one daredevil grift at a time, relying only on his wits, speed, and an unfailingly loyal band of friends.

War is coming to Highgate. As a massive armada surrounds the city, a small ship, the Halcyon, slips through the blockade. Led by a charismatic captain, the unconventional crew of the Halcyon has come to collect Milo for a bounty. But they too are being watched. As threats begin to close in on Milo, the truth will soon be revealed that he is not the true prize they seek, and that the stakes go far beyond the borders of the city, and time, as he knows it.

In his debut novel for young readers, Jason Sheehan cleverly weaves together multiple points of view, creating a richly imagined world filled with danger, heart-racing adventure, and no shortage of wit. Perfect for fantasy lovers, Children of the Flying City is a fast, clever read infused with inspired and accessible sci-fi elements.

Описание:

The picture book presents the tender story of two children out picking blueberries for their mother. They meet a sad fairy princess who has lost something valuable. Together they locate the prized possession and are rewarded by the little fairy's mother, the fairy queen.

The story is lovely and with the beautiful and brightly coloured illustrations it becomes much more than the parts. The illustrator was inspired to draw deep within herself to add depth and detail to the pleasing offering of a lovely tale. The book goes beyond a simple rendition as the pictures - all original paintings on canvas - add themes and interest of their own with dragonflies and lady bugs and humming birds found in abundance and in surprising places on each page.

Описание:

At a time when being busy is worn as a badge of honor, and we are accustomed to filling every waking moment with (often useless or unpleasant) activity, Do Less. Be More explores why switching off, or at the very least, slowing down, is vital, to ensure we achieve what we want.

Busy-ness is a barrier to self-reflection, a hindrance to novel solutions and a smokescreen to clarity. While cramming in one more task may feel useful, productive, or even satisfying, it's not always the best use of a spare moment. In fact, it will inevitably lead us to a place where we become less productive, less creative, less inspired and less satisfied with life.

While we might think we don't have any space in our lives to do more of what is important to us, Do Less Be More offers readers 21 activities to reclaim even the tiniest moments, like waiting for a coffee, to rest their brains and, in so doing, rediscover insight, inspiration and fresh ideas.
