Treasure Island

Robert Louis Stevenson

Sinopsis

Treasure Island (1883), by Robert Louis Stevenson, is one of the most famous children's novels of all time. Published for the first time in installments in the children's magazine Young Folks in the years 1881-1882 under the title of Sea Cook, or Treasure Island ("The cook on board or the treasure island"), it tells a story of "pirates and treasures "and has certainly contributed significantly to the popular imagination on these topics (starting with the stereotype of the pirate in the classic form in which he appears, for example, in Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean). It is generally regarded as a Bildungsroman, but it contains unusual elements; for example Long John Silver, used by the author to describe the potential ambiguity of morality, is not a completely good character but not completely bad either.

The Last Monument

Michael C. Grumley

One small handwritten letter, sent from a distant corner of the planet and lost in the system for sixty years … is about to change the entire human race.
Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow … an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident.
But this time, he can't.
The details behind this tragedy don't add up. Unlike every other investigation of Joe's career, the facts make no sense. Each new piece of information only makes the accident more mysterious, and more baffling.
Why would a person receive an age-old letter and suddenly disappear into the thick of night … paying to be flown out of a closed airport in the worst possible weather conditions, by a pilot who hadn't had his hand on the stick in years?
With the only surviving relative insisting her grandfather would never have climbed into a small airplane in the first place, even in perfect weather.
A bizarre string of events culminating in a horrible accident unlike anything Rickards has experienced. Leaving his only hope at understanding it in the hands of the victim's sole remaining relative. Beginning with how a mysterious letter could turn up after being lost in the system for sixty years. Sent by someone who should have already been long dead.
A single letter, Joe Rickards is about to discover, with a secret that will change the entire world.

The Ex Hex - A Novel

Anónimo

New York Times Bestseller 
Erin Sterling casts a delightful spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong. 
“A delightful and witty take on witchy mayhem.” — Popsugar 
Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two. 
That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all. 
Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.A great read for spooky-season nightsA perfect addition to any Halloween reading list
