Sinossi

Wyatt never really thought much about his dad—a hardened criminal, a lifer in a prison somewhere on the other side of the state. But then the economy had to go and tank, and the community had to go and cut the baseball program from Wyatt's high school. And then the coach had to go and show Wyatt a photograph of his dad at sixteen, looking very much like Wyatt himself. Through a series of unfortunate—or perhaps they were fortunate—events, Wyatt meets a crazy-hot girl named Greer with a criminal dad of her own. A criminal dad who is, in fact, in jail with Wyatt's own criminal dad. Greer arranges a meeting, and Wyatt's dad is nothing like the guy he's imagined—he's suave, and smart, and funny, and cool, and—Wyatt's pretty sure—innocent. So Wyatt decides to help him out. A decision that may possibly be the worst he's ever made in his life. 
This is another hold-your-breath thriller by the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award nominated Peter Abrahams.

YARRAN Stories from Australia -...

Anisoara Laura Mustetiu

The mini volume YARRAN mirrors three different expressions of feelings: the love for animals, the cheerfulness that can be found in nature, and the excitement of reading books. 
Yarran’s treasures spring from real images captured from my surrounding. The little puppy’s character reflects my little actress Pepina, a puppy that spreads joy and love everywhere she goes. The narrative voice is the little child that still haunts me sometimes through my inner world. Real are other characters too, such as the kookaburras, my lively neighbors early in the mornings. 
Children will experience the joy and magic of a natural lively garden, like Yarran does, in The Playful Garden. The magic could spring from everywhere. The Magic Book reflects images from a unique place on earth called Australia. Lorries, koalas, and kangaroos are some of the native and narrative characters. 
 If the melody of words and the vivacity of images would bring a smile and illuminate a child’s beautiful face, I would consider myself a lucky writer.
