Natasha [Redacted]

Sinopsis

Welcome-welcome-welcome-welcome to Being Young! And to the inner life and internet ragepage of Natasha [Redacted]. Her first name is all you're getting: there are too many haters, trolls and stupid adults out there. Iffen you understand me then you've picked up the rhythm of my heartbeat and maybe you're a friend. But that means you're a potential danger too, if you get too close and you know too much—be careful. Original, compelling and moving, Natasha [Redacted] is a coming of age story that charts the costs of trying to survive in the poisonous jungle that is 'growing up'. Family breakdown, friends who turn out to be anything but friends, parents and their love interests who want bland conformity above all else, Internet wars and real-world violence populate Natasha's Internet 'ragepage'. And we see Natasha too though her self-appraising 'sleevenotes', penned some unknown time after the events that she describes. At the end of it all, has she grown up? Will you like the answer anymore than Natasha does? Whatever the answer—if you've ever loved music with a matchless passion, wanted to form a band and play a gig on the Moon, you could be the friend that Natasha is waiting for. Read on…

Beth Moran

A novel about friendship, romance and learning to love yourself - just the way you are from Number One bestselling author Beth Moran.
When Olivia Tennyson – or Ollie to her friends – was sixteen, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life, including a happy marriage and a family.
But at twenty-nine, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective and manipulative mother, and is feeling like her dreams are getting further out of reach.
It’s time for a change.
It’s time to take matters into her own hands.
Without telling her mum, or more importantly, asking her permission, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life. End Cottage has a duck-egg blue front door, a garden that leads to acres of forest, and definitely counts as her dream home.
Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list and find out who she really is, before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest…

What Lies Behind

J.N. Chaney, Jonathan P. Brazee

A new alien threat arises. A Galactic War unlike any before it. 
A powerful enemy threatens not only humanity, but humankind’s former enemy, the Centaurs. A warrior race, the Naxli, consider themselves the rightful rulers of the galaxy, and all other life should be either enslaved or destroyed. Still, the Naxli are honor bound, only willing to face those who present a worthy challenge. They recognize strength and nothing else, so it is with strength that humanity must fight back. 
Faced with an implacable enemy, distrust within his own government, and a deep-seated fear within the populace of augmented soldiers, Rev and his fellow hyper-augments must carefully balance a tightrope if they are going to save humanity against this enemy. 
Now is not the time for second guesses, political hyperbole, or weakness. Humanity must stand and fight together or risk losing all that they've gained. 
Get ready for a brand-new installment in the best-selling Sentenced to War series from Dragon Award nominees and USA Today best-selling authors J.N. Chaney and Jonathan Brazee. If you're a fan of realistic military scifi and deeply realized characters, this is the book for you.

The Story of a Stuffed Elephant

Laura Lee Hope

"He may be made of plush and cotton, but his heart is as big as a real elephant's!"

Step into the magical world of the toy shop after dark! In The Story of a Stuffed Elephant, we meet a noble creature with soft tusks and a trunk that longs to be hugged. From the moment he is finished by the toy-maker, the Stuffed Elephant dreams of the adventures that await him in the "Great World" outside. His journey takes him from the crowded shelves of a department store to the arms of a playful child, and eventually into the company of other legendary toys like the Calico Clown and the Candy Rabbit. Through triumphs and mishaps, the Stuffed Elephant proves that being "just a toy" is the greatest adventure of all.

The Secret Life of the Playroom: This story is a beautiful exploration of the "Make-Believe" philosophy—the idea that toys have their own adventures and friendships when the nursery lights go out. It encourages children to treat their toys with kindness, showing how a simple stuffed animal can be a brave protector and a loyal friend.

A Window into Vintage Childhood: Written in 1922, this book reflects a world where toys were cherished treasures. It captures the charm of early 20th-century department stores, snowy Christmas mornings, and the simple, enduring joy of a first "best friend" made of cloth.

Lessons in Resilience: The Stuffed Elephant's path isn't always easy. He faces the "perils" of being lost, the fear of the dark, and the uncertainty of new places. His quiet courage and optimistic spirit provide a gentle, comforting narrative that is perfect for bedtime reading.

The Quantum Curators and the...

Eva St. John

Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick. 
 
 
 
When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Fabergé Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is. 
 
 
 
Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg. 
 
 
 
She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it. 
 
 
 
He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.
