Book Description
Bestselling author of Scythe and Challenger Deep Neal Shusterman, here with coauthors Debra Young and Michelle Knowlden, tells an intense yet tender story of two teens, trapped in impossible circumstances and unjust systems, willing to risk everything for love—no matter the consequences. Adriana knows that if she can manage to keep her head down for the next seven months, she might be able to get through her sentence in the Compass juvenile detention center. Thankfully, she’s allowed to keep her journal, where she writes down her most private thoughts when her feelings get too big. Until the day she opens her journal and discovers that her thoughts are no longer so private. Someone has read her writings—and has written back. A boy who lives on the other side of the gender-divided detention center. A boy who sparks a fire in her to write back. Jon’s story is different than Adriana’s; he’s already been at Compass for years and will be in the system for years to come. Still, when he reads the words Adriana writes to him, it makes him feel like the walls that hold them in have melted away. This fast-paced, highly compelling tour de force novel exposes what life is like in detention—and reveals the hearts of two teens who are forced to live in desperate circumstances.

Book Description
There's a secret hidden in The Farenzi Files A passionate love story. A fast-paced adventure. A spellbinding whodunit. An intriguing medical mystery. And a sweeping multigenerational epic that spans the twentieth century and much of the globe-from Mexico to Italy and beyond. The Farenzi Files is all these things and more. At once thrilling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, this is a deeply moving and gripping tale like no other you've ever read. We enter the world of The Farenzi Files in the Mexico City of the early 1970s, when Aurelio, a construction engineer, meets the love of his life, a brilliant psychiatry student named Ofelia. But the story really starts decades earlier, with the harrowing escape from war-torn Europe by a beautiful young Italian woman named Lucrezia Farenzi. She risks her life to cross Nazi-occupied France and the vast Atlantic Ocean, under constant threat of attack from German subs and bombers, trying to reach an unlikely destination that didn't even exist in the mental geography of most Europeans-the town of Tulancingo in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. All the while, Lucrezia's father, a good and honorable family doctor in Rome, has made an amazing medical discovery that has the capacity to change the world-for better or for worse, depending on whose hands it falls into. This is the long-lost secret that eventually dominates the lives of Aurelio and Ofelia, turning their ideal marriage into a fevered quest for the hidden formula. Through it all, their intense, almost-mystical love gives them strength-until tragedy strikes. Praise for The Farenzi Files "A detective story worthy of Agatha Christie. The Farenzi Files teems with intrigue and mystery, as unknown forces stop at nothing, including murder, to get their hands on a medical formula. Written in nimble, staccato-like prose, this is an engrossing novel that's a pleasure to read. I couldn't put it down until the final outcome." Oscar Pandal Graf, philologist and bibliophile

Book Description
Teenager Adriana Hofstetter is quite possibly one of a kind. She hates all things “now”—including MySpace, cell phones, and anything trendy—and she has no use for partying, getting wasted or being stupid. She dresses in clothes from her favorite decades—the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s—much to the derision of her fellow students at Hollywood High, who think she is a joke. She’s on her way to becoming the star of her journalism class. Her teachers adore her, just as much as her fellow students abhor her. She has one loyal and true friend, Billy Feldman, who is as much of an outsider as she is. She has a mother who listens to Pink Floyd, Cream, and Isaac Hayes at ear splitting levels, a peculiar cat named Furball, and an ancient, ineffectual computer that crashes if she happens to glance in its direction. Then, one day, someone from Hollywood High is found murdered. A suspect is arrested and charged. And Adriana Hofstetter finds herself forced to become a pint-sized amateur sleuth, who, in the guise of doing a story for the school newspaper, must put all her journalism lessons to use in order to solve a murder she knows the accused didn’t commit. Murder at Hollywood High is a very funny, suspenseful mystery, replete with colorful Los Angeles locales, disbelieving detectives, suspects lurking around every locker, and a fifteen-year-old heroine who is off-the-wall, endearing and not to be messed with.

Book Description
Journal IV is the first publication, in a translation from the Romanian manuscript, of the journal that Mircea Eliade kept during the last seven years of his life. In this period, Eliade is ensconced as a famous scholar—his works are being translated into many languages and books about him arrive regularly in the mail. His encounters with scholars of like repute are recorded in the journal; after a party in Paris, Eliade shares a taxi with Claude Lévi-Strauss and inadvertently makes off with his raincoat. Running like a fault line through the peak of his success, however, is Eliade's painful awareness of his physical decline—failing vision, arthritic hands, and continual fatigue. Again and again he repeats how little time he has to finish the projects he is working on—his autobiography, the third and fourth volumes of his History of Religious Ideas, and the duties associated with his editorship of the Encyclopedia of Religion. He poignantly recounts the sharpest blow: the disorganization and eventual destruction by fire of his personal library. Within the scope of Journal IV Eliade and his world go to ruin. What does not decline is the vivid and persistent voice of Eliade the writer, an unbreaking voice that—with death only months away—plans a reply to critics, plots out an article, and ruminates on characters to people another novella.

Book Description
At the end of World War II, in disregard of international agreements, Soviet Union imposed communism in the areas given to it as Sphere of Influence. With this, a new value system was introduced into people’s lives with consequences no one could predict. Reviewing his life in communist Romania, the author shows how a changed way of thinking determined a changed way of living, how Marxism altered the nation’s psychology and, in the end, ruined its own goals.
