Sinossi

In "The Tale of Mr. Tod," Beatrix Potter invites readers into a charming yet fierce world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, where the tension between predator and prey unfolds artfully. Rendered in her signature illustration style, the narrative encapsulates her keen observations of rural life and animal behavior, enriched with a delightful sense of adventure. Potter skillfully interweaves themes of friendship, rivalry, and the quest for home within the lush landscapes of the English countryside, providing both whimsy and depth to this enchanting tale. The book reflects Potter's continued exploration of the natural world, distinguishing it as part of her broader oeuvre that celebrates the beauty and complexity of animal life. Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was a pioneering children's author and illustrator whose profound love for nature informed her captivating narratives. Growing up in a well-to-do family with a fervent interest in botany and wildlife, her early encounters with the natural world significantly shaped her artistic vision. "The Tale of Mr. Tod," published in 1912, is a testament to her deep understanding of animal motives and the human-like traits that she affectionately assigns to them, mirroring societal behaviors of her time. This delightful story is a must-read for fans of classic children's literature and for those who appreciate intricately illustrated tales. Potter's ability to blend humor and adventure with moral lessons makes this book suitable for readers of all ages.

In a long-anticipated new vampire series by Morgan Rice, #1 bestselling author of The Vampire Journals (1,500 five star reviews), 17-year-old Taylor Night, exiled from her trailer park in Texas to a juvenile detention camp in the rainy Northwest, tries to understand her mysterious power while surviving on an island of misfits.

Mistfalls Wilderness Camp is an awful place, a series of islands in the rainy Northwest, populated by delinquents and outcasts from their families. It is supposed to be a remedial place—but Taylor soon learns something else is happening here. They are training the kids here for something. But what?

These kids are all different, not normal somehow. And as Taylor herself goes through changes she doesn’t understand, she can’t help but wonder: is she different, too?

But when she finds herself having a crush on a mysterious boy, Taylor realizes he is not what he seems—and that her own destiny may be far greater than she imagined.

But will their forbidden love take them both down for good?
