Sara Sinclair might be a Blue Dragon ice princess, but she certainly doesn’t act like one. And she definitely doesn’t buy into the Blue Dragon Clan’s crap that says marriage should focus on alliances and power. So Sara’s furious when her Blue parents sign a contract for her to marry an absolute asshat. She has zero interest in being one half of a snobby Blue power couple—especially when she’d rather bite her obnoxious fiancé’s head off and bury it in the garden. There’s also the small problem of Ian McKenna, a fire-breathing Red Dragon who is everything her fiancé is not. Of course, dating Ian is forbidden. Getting involved with anyone outside of your Clan is against Directorate law. Ian could be thrown in jail or executed without a trial. But now that she knows what love feels like, how could she ever marry someone else? Now the only way Ian and Sara can be together is by giving up their dragon way of life. No flying. No magic. No family or friends. And if Sara knows anything, it’s that stories like this never turn out well...

Dan is playing Minecraft with his friends, like he always does, when a strange figure, white from head-to-toe, approaches him in the game and drops a book at his feet. Cautiously, Dan reads the book: it's an invitation, to a school. A school for only the very best Minecraft players in the country. It has to be a trick. It's probably just a joke from one of his friends.Dan is thinking just that, when there's a knock at the door. A strange woman, dressed in all white, has arrived at Dan's front door. She introduces herself to his bewildered mom and dad with her angelic voice. Her name is Ms. Fennerby and she's a teacher at Herobrine Middle School, an academy for children gifted in the game of Minecraft. Dan has been selected as one of the builders and designers of his generation.It all seems to good to be true.And maybe it is...Herobrine Middle School is a thrilling middle school adventure filled with real emotions, page-turning excitement and characters that will jump off the page and make you laugh. It is Spy Kids and Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, all set to the backdrop of the mysterious world of Minecraft. Perfect for readers age eight to fourteen with a story that will excite all lovers of Minecraft. Excerpt "DAAANNNNN! It's dinner time!" the voice echoed up the stairs. "I'll be right down!" Dan yelled back. "I've just got to save the world!"Dan's mom, who was making a racket in the kitchen that made Dan think she was throwing every pot on the ground, didn't respond. That was okay.Dan didn't want to have to explain anyways. He was saving the world.Well... a world. The Minecraft world that he and a couple friends had been working on for over a year. They had magnificent houses and had built huge statues of their avatars in the game. Dan's pride and joy was built on the server too: The Cow Cannon 2000. The Cow Cannon 2000 did... well it did exactly what you would expect it to. It fired cows at blinding speed into the far away expanses of Minecraft. It fired them so far that Dan and his friends had never found any remains of the cows or the mine carts that they were fired in. The best part is that the machine worked automatically. It lured cows to the machine and then fired them off as soon as they got close enough. Dan was incredibly proud of it. A work of art, he told himself.And, really, everything had been perfect in that huge-housed, massive-statued, cow-raining world, until the griefers had shown up. Somehow, a bunch of older kids had found the server and at first it was fine. They built their own stuff. That was fine. But soon they were bored of that and started destroying anything and everything they could find.Dan had urged his friends to just not react. The griefers would get bored, he thought, and leave them alone. But they didn't get bored. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. The griefers' next target was Platinum Plateau where Dan's friends' houses were built, along with the Cow Cannon 2000. Dan wasn't going to let the griefers anywhere near it. He had spent the last week building a series of "secret" entrances to the plateau via mine cart. The idea was that the griefers would find the "secret" entrances and not be able to resist riding the mine carts into the centre of the plateau to surprise Dan and friends. But little did they know that the mine cart would take them right to the Cow Cannon 2000, and before they knew it, BAM! They'd be taking a free flight, courtesy of Dan airlines.What are you waiting for? Get reading!

A Stranger to Myself: The Inhumanity of War, Russia 1941-44 is the haunting memoir of a young German soldier on the Russian front during World War II. Willy Peter Reese was only twenty years old when he found himself marching through Russia with orders to take no prisoners. Three years later he was dead. Bearing witness to--and participating in--the atrocities of war, Reese recorded his reflections in his diary, leaving behind an intelligent, touching, and illuminating perspective on life on the eastern front. He documented the carnage perpetrated by both sides, the destruction which was exacerbated by the young soldiers' hunger, frostbite, exhaustion, and their daily struggle to survive. And he wrestled with his own sins, with the realization that what he and his fellow soldiers had done to civilians and enemies alike was unforgivable, with his growing awareness of the Nazi policies toward Jews, and with his deep disillusionment with himself and his fellow men. An international sensation, A Stranger to Myself is an unforgettable account of men at war.

In a standout debut for the #MeToo era, a young pianist devotes herself to her art — and to the demanding, charismatic teacher she idolizes. After seventeen-year-old Claire Alalay’s father's death, only music has helped her channel her grief. Claire likes herself best when she plays his old piano, a welcome escape from the sadness — and her traditional Filipino mother’s prayer groups. In the hopes of earning a college scholarship, Claire auditions for Paul Avon, a prominent piano teacher, who agrees to take Claire as a pupil. Soon Claire loses herself in Paul’s world and his way of digging into a composition’s emotional core. She practices constantly, foregoing a social life, but no matter how hard she works or how well she plays, it seems impossible to gain Paul’s approval, let alone his affection. Author Cynthia Salaysay composes a moving, beautifully written portrait of rigorous perfectionism, sexual awakening, and the challenges of self-acceptance. Timely and vital, Private Lessons delves into a complicated student/teacher relationship, as well as class and cultural differences, with honesty and grace.

Genre: Biography & Autobiography

This new book is the war diary of a Flying Tiger American Volunteer Group crew chief from the 3rd Pursuit Squadron. Much of the Flying Tiger history is written from the pilot's viewpoint. These brave pilots deserve much praise, but those who fixed the aircraft and kept them flying also have a story to tell. Though their story is perhaps not as flashy, it is quite interesting and very much in tune with the everyday spirit of that intense period before America entered the World War II. This book contains Losonsky's war diary, which is supplemented with interviews and dialogue, and includes over 200 unpublished photographs. This format provides the reader with a multi-dimensional view of the period. Flying Tiger will give aviation historians new insights into the days shortly before the Flying Tiger successes in late 1941.
