Sinopse

The horrific real-life cost of fast fashion is exposed in this gripping tale of survival from bestselling author Steve Cole.
When twelve-year-old Hanh is offered a job as a shop assistant in Hanoi, she sees it as a chance to earn money to send back to her family living in poverty in rural Vietnam. But on her arrival in the city, she soon learns that the job offer was a lie and finds herself working in virtual slavery in an illegal garment factory.
Life in this sweatshop is a daily hell of long hours, little rest, poor food and regular violence. Hanh is desperate to escape, but when an opportunity arises will she be able to find the courage to take a dangerous chance?

    The complete New York Times–bestselling series that began with the acclaimed romance, Shiver, “a lyrical tale of alienated werewolves and first love” (Publishers Weekly). In Shiver, meet Sam. He’s not just a normal boy—he has a secret. During the summer he walks and talks as a human, but when the cold comes, he runs with his pack as a wolf. Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house—but never dreamed that she would fall in love with one of them. Linger tells the story of Sam and Grace’s struggle to stay together, and the dangerous secret Grace must keep from everyone, including her parents. In Forever, wolves are being hunted, which means the stakes are even higher for Grace and Sam and the wolf pack. With Sinner comes the long awaited story of Cole, a wolf wrestling with his own demons, and his attempt to win back Isabel Culper For Grace, Sam, and Cole and Isabel, life is harrowing and euphoric, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But can it be enough? “Beautiful and moving.” —School Library Journal on Shiver This sequel’s poetic prose skillfully captures the four teens’ longings for love, forgetting, remembering, righting wrongs and life itself.” —Kirkus Reviews on Linger

    The Death of Sitting Bear - New...

    Pulitzer Prize winner and celebrated American master N. Scott Momaday returns with a radiant collection of more than 200 new and selected poems rooted in Native American tradition.  
     
    “The poems in this book reflect my deep respect for and appreciation of words. . . . I believe that poetry is the highest form of verbal expression. Although I have written in other forms, I find that poems are what I want and need most to read and write. They give life to my mind.” 
    One of the most important and unique voices in American letters, distinguished poet, novelist, artist, teacher, and storyteller N. Scott Momaday was born into the Kiowa tribe and grew up on Indian reservations in the Southwest. The customs and traditions that influenced his upbringing—most notably the Native American oral tradition—are the centerpiece of his work. 
    This luminous collection demonstrates Momaday’s mastery and love of language and the matters closest to his heart. To Momaday, words are sacred; language is power. Spanning nearly fifty years, the poems gathered here illuminate the human condition, Momaday’s connection to his Kiowa roots, and his spiritual relationship to the American landscape. 
    The title poem, “The Death of Sitting Bear” is a celebration of heritage and a memorial to the great Kiowa warrior and chief. “I feel his presence close by in my blood and imagination,” Momaday writes, “and I sing him an honor song.” Here, too, are meditations on mortality, love, and loss, as well as reflections on the incomparable and holy landscape of the Southwest. 
    The Death of Sitting Bear evokes the essence of human experience and speaks to us all.
