Sinossi

2019 – Moud is an out gay teen living in Los Angeles with his distant father, Saeed. When Moud gets the news that his grandfather in Iran is dying, he accompanies his dad to Tehran, where the revelation of family secrets will force Moud into a new understanding of his history, his culture, and himself.
1978 – Saeed is an engineering student with a promising future ahead of him in Tehran. But when his parents discover his involvement in the country's burgeoning revolution, they send him to safety in America, a country Saeed despises. And even worse – he's forced to live with the American grandmother he never knew existed.
1939 – Bobby, the son of a calculating Hollywood stage mother, lands a coveted MGM studio contract. But the fairy-tale world of glamour he's thrust into has a dark side…
Set against the backdrop of Tehran and Los Angeles, this tale of intergenerational trauma and love is an ode to the fragile bonds of family, the hidden secrets of history and all the beautiful moments that make us who we are today.

    With their blue blood, big brains and eight arms, octopuses are dramatically different from any other being. 
    Octopuses are masters of camouflage and known for their incredible escapes from tight spots. New research shows that they are highly intelligent creatures, and while they prefer to be alone, they will interact with humans and display unique personality traits. 
    In Octopus Ocean, discover the mysteries and histories of octopuses big and small—their biology, habitat and habits—and explore the top threats to their future, including warming oceans, over-fishing and pollution. 
    Part of the nonfiction Orca Wild series for middle-grade readers this book introduces kids to octopuses all over the world. It discusses octopus habitat, biology and threats to survival, and how scientists, conservationists and young people are working to protect octopuses everywhere. 
    “Mark Leiren-Young’s Octopus Ocean gives young readers a wonderful sense of many aspects of the world of octopuses in a very clear, concise and interesting way. It makes the reader think, and it educates without preaching. This book is a door to the magnificent world of the octopus—a door that, if opened and explored, will bring much joy and connection.” - Craig Foster, star and producer of My Octopus Teacher

    From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A PRICE OF MAGIC (Book #20), the twentieth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!
    
    In A PRICE OF MAGIC, the heroes of the Ring fight for survival across distant lands as ancient powers threaten to consume everything they hold dear. Exiled to the harsh Ashen Plains and left to die, Gwendolyn discovers untapped reserves of strength and dormant magic that may hold the key to her survival.
    
    Thor stands alone against the colossal Titan Boreas, facing an impossible choice between his family and his principles that leads to a battle he cannot possibly win. Guwayne, held captive aboard a mysterious ship, forges an unlikely mental connection that offers his only chance of escape, while the ruins he discovers afterward reveal disturbing truths about his own bloodline and its connection to the awakening Titans. 
    
    As each hero is pushed to their absolute limits, they must pay increasingly desperate prices for the power needed to survive—costs that will change them forever, if they live long enough to see the dawn.
    
    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
