Synopsis

The story of Elizabeth I, the 
last Tudor monarch, is one of enduring fascination. Daughter of the 
tyrannical Henry VIII and sister of the embittered Queen Mary, 
Elizabeth did well to survive her childhood. Clever, learned and 
skilled in diplomacy, as queen she presided over a golden age of 
literature, exploration and discovery. A selective 
version of events from Elizabeth's life focuses on her younger years, 
without distorting the 
picture of a reign dominated by war, political intrigue and religious 
disputes. 
 
 
 
Lives in Action is a series of 
narrative biographies that recount the lives of some of the key figures 
in history. Page-turning, thrilling plots that read like fiction will 
keep the most reluctant reader hooked.
Disponible depuis: 14/03/2014.
Longueur d'impression: 128 pages.

But how can a boy be friends with a beetle? And what does a beetle have to do with the disappearance of his dad and the arrival of the terrifying Lucretia Cutter, with her taste for creepy fashion?

    From the author of the New York Times–bestselling Guardians of Ga’hoole, a herd of horses surviving the wilds of the New World discovers an orphaned boy. 
     
    For the filly Estrella, nothing is more precious than freedom. She was born at sea, aboard a ship of men sailing to the New World in search of gold. But Estrella and her herd escaped the conquerors and embarked on a journey across thousands of miles—braving harsh terrains and fierce predators—to a land where they can finally run wild. 
     
    But now, an unforeseen danger threatens to destroy the pack. A boy with a special gift is lost in the wilderness, and only the horses can keep him alive. But to save the boy, the herd will risk galloping straight back into the hands—-and harnesses—of their captors. 
     
    And so, it’s up to Estrella, the herd’s unlikely leader, to make a life-changing decision. Should the horses accept the orphan boy as one of their own? How do you choose between freedom and friendship? 
     
    Praise for Horses of the Dawn: 
     
    “As in works such as her Guardians of Ga’hoole series, Lasky uses animals to touch on very human issues.” —Kirkus Reviews 
     
    “Lasky successfully fuses fantasy and fact as she gives her equine characters credible emotional depth and underscores the tensions and disparity between Old and New World sensibilities. It’s a haunting story of loss, self-discovery, survival, and homecoming.” —Publishers Weekly
