Pages : 432
Book Description
“It’s Goodbye, Mr. Chips meets The Bad Seed. Joanne Harris’s latest novel, Different Class, has a killer elevator pitch and, what’s more, it delivers on its intriguing premise….[A] rich, dramatic tale that builds to a surprising conclusion.” —The Washington Post “Harris delivers mischief and murder to an English prep school in Different Class, a delightfully malicious view of privileged students with overly active imaginations.” —The New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of Chocolat comes a dark, psychological suspense tale in the tradition of Patricia Highsmith about a sociopathic young outcast at an antiquated prep school and the curmudgeonly Latin teacher who uncovers his dangerous secret. After thirty years at St. Oswald’s Grammar in North Yorkshire, England, Latin master Roy Straitley has seen all kinds of boys come and go. Each class has its own clowns, rebels, and underdogs—all who hold a special place in the old teacher’s heart. But every so often there’s a boy who doesn’t quite fit the mold. A troublemaker. A boy with darkness inside. With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new headmaster arrives at the venerable school, bringing with him new technology, sharp suits, and even girls to the dusty corridors. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist these steps toward the future, a shadow from his past begins to stir again. A boy who still haunts Straitley’s dreams twenty years later. A boy capable of terrible things.

Red, Yellow, Green
Author: Alejandro Saravia
Publisher: Biblioasis
ISBN: 1771961422
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Traumatized by his past as a Bolivian soldier who, in a sudden coup d'etat, was forced to participate in atrocities, Alfredo flees to Montreal, haunted by the dead. He rides the Montreal metro and pours his guilt and shame into his writing, until he falls for a woman without a nation—a Kurdish freedom-fighter trying to blast an independent Kurdistan into existence. As the net of intrigue closes in on his lover, Alfredo is forced to face more fully his own violent past. In a world where the intimate collides with the official and the past is made and remade again in a new country, Alejandro Saravia's novel in turn refuses to be bound by a single genre, style, or even language. Reminiscent of Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion in its exploration of the complicated relationship between nation, memory, and identity, Red, Yellow, Green considers what a place can mean to people who are out of place. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, bleak and humorous, Saravia offers a poignant reminder of the power of generosity and love.

Iron Hearted Violet
Author: Kelly Barnhill
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0316215589
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Newbery Medal winner Kelly Barnhill spins a wondrously different kind of fairy-tale: In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. But this isn't most fairy tales... Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being, called the Nybbas, imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true--not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon-the last dragon in existence, in fact-may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules. Iron Hearted Violet is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.

The Boy Who Wore White Stockings
Author: David Hutt
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 178088527X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
After thirty years in close contact with Peter Skala, as friend and business partner, I knew little of his complicated early life. Intimations of mortality and the urgings of his family finally caused him to talk to me – at first hesitantly and then in a flood. I had intended to write a simple story of a twenty year old war hero but digging into the background of this unlikely GI proved even more interesting than his acts of bravery, causing me as it were to write backwards. His adventures in Patton’s 3rd Army as France was liberated, followed adolescent years in New York at high school and college. In turn these were preceded by a year in a cold English prep school. Before that lay a carefree boyhood in Austria. His early life in Vienna, one of security and material comfort, helped no doubt to fortify him for the rigours ahead. Scraps of letters and faded photograhs in turn took me back to his forbears, some with rather rackety lives. Setting down these episodes from the days of the vanished Austro-Hungarian empire, so different from Anglo-Saxon experience, somehow helped to catch the essence of Peter himself and what made him. And because Peter has always been attracted to women, the journey from Vienna to England, on to the US and back to wartime Europe was scattered with engaging encounters – innocent, fleeting, passionate, raffish, sometimes all at the same time.So what started out as a simple soldier’s tale, turned into a glimpse of a lost civilisation, near to us in time, and yet gone for ever.
