Rejackted/retitled edition of Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick

O que você seria capaz de fazer para conquistar seu grande amor? A maioria das pessoas provavelmente pensaria em comprar flores ou chocolates. Uma ou outra apostaria em um jantar a dois ou numa declaração de amor escrita num papel perfumado. Mas encolher-se quanticamente a ponto de entrar na corrente sanguínea do ser amado para ter a chance de convencer os neurônios dele a se apaixonarem por você – essa ideia só poderia sair da cabeça de um gênio de 13 anos como Lenny Cyrus. Com QI demais e traquejo social de menos, o personagem criado por Joe Schreiber é o protagonista de Lenny Cyrus, o supervírus, lançamento infantojuvenil da Globo Livros. Filho de dois vencedores do Prêmio Nobel e dotado de uma inteligência acima do normal, Lenny coloca toda sua mente para funcionar para conseguir entrar na cabeça e no coração da menina por quem é apaixonado, Zooey Andrews, uma descolada colega de escola que parece não notar sua existência. A única pessoa com quem Lenny divide seu segredo é o melhor amigo, Harlan. Mas nem mesmo o bom senso de Harlan consegue refrear a capacidade imaginativa de Lenny, que descobre uma forma de reduzir seu tamanho ao de um vírus e de entrar no corpo de Zooey para tentar contar à menina sobre seu amor – não sem antes passar por uma incrível aventura pelo sistema circulatório da garota, fazer amizade com algumas células do seu corpo, cair na farra com seus hormônios e, finalmente, se dirigir ao cérebro com a missão de declarar seus sentimentos. Tudo, claro, sem esquecer de um importante detalhe: o garoto precisa cumprir todo seu itinerário em algumas horas, antes que seu corpo volte ao tamanho normal. Encerrado esse limite, se ele ainda estiver dentro do organismo de Zooey, será o fim de ambos. Inspirado nos filmes Viagem Insólita (1987) e Querida, encolhi as crianças (1989), Lenny Cyrus, o supervírus conta a história alternando os pontos de vista de Zooey, Harlan e do próprio Lenny, que lidam não apenas com paixões não correspondidas, mas com ciúmes, expectativas, relacionamentos complicados com os pais e com os colegas mais valentões, e com outros de dramas típicos da adolescência.

“A high-octane, high-caliber joyride centered on one very loud night in New York City” from the New York Times–bestselling author (Michael Northrop, author of Rotten). Ferris Bueller meets La Femme Nikita in this funny, action-packed young adult novel. It’s prom night—and Perry just wants to stick to his own plan and finally play a much-anticipated gig with his band in the Big Apple. But when his mother makes him take Gobija Zaksauskas—their quiet, geeky Lithuanian exchange student—to the prom, he never expects that his ordinary high school guy life will soon turn on its head. Perry finds that Gobi is on a mission, and Perry has no other choice but to go along for a reckless ride through Manhattan’s concrete grid with a trained assassin in Dad’s red Jag. Infused with capers, car chases, heists, hits, henchmen, and even a bear fight, this story mixes romance, comedy, and tragedy in a true teen coming-of-age adventure—and it’s not over until its “au revoir.” This ebook includes a sample chapter of Perry’s Killer Playlist. “What follows are captures, tortures, machine guns, a helicopter rescue, and a kiss that is, like this addictive first novel for teens, a ‘long, intoxicating dive through a sea of Red Bull.’” —Booklist (starred review) “The hilarious YA buzzbomb I’ve been waiting for all year. Has style and wit to burn.” —Sean Beaudoin, author of Wise Young Fool “Fast paced, smart, exciting . . . it’s like your favorite summer action thriller and John Hughes movie rolled into one.” —Josh Schwartz, executive producer of Gossip Girl and The O.C.

The chilling tale of the undead in a galaxy far, far away. “This is the Star Wars of every horror fan’s dreams—gory, funny, and brimming with a blood-spattered cast of swashbucklers and space-zombies.”—Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies When the Imperial prison barge Purge—temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, Rebels, scoundrels, and thieves—breaks down in a distant part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back—bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. And death is only the beginning. The Purge’s half-dozen survivors will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans—and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality. Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps—young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff—Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire. But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal—it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living—and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

When madness is your inheritance, how do you escape it? Scott Mast thought he got away–first from a family haunted by a dark fate, then from a dull career writing greeting cards in Seattle. But now he has come back to his New Hampshire hometown only to find that his family is in ruins, his nephew needs a home, and a shattering truth is clawing its way into the light. Fifteen years ago, Scott’s mother died in a fire. And now the shadowy circumstances–the bodies buried beneath the ashes, the lives ripped apart that fateful day–are starting to be revealed. The answers unspool in the pages of a peculiar old manuscript–an unfinished ghost story written in his father’s own hand that beckons Scott out to a strange house in the woods with a lightless corridor that cannot be seen from the outside. Here Scott Mast will uncover all that has been hidden–and perhaps finish his father’s unspeakable work.

Du hast die Wahl: Bring deine Familie in Sicherheit ? oder bleib hier und stirb. Entscheide dich JETZT. Eine zweite Chance bekommt du nicht! Mike Hughes faltet die Notiz zusammen und blickt auf den Operationstisch zu seinem Patienten hinab: Frank Snow, Mörder, verurteilt für seine bestialischen Taten. Er hat Mike den Zettel zugeschoben. Er erwidert Mikes Blick; in seinen Augen lauern der Tod und etwas anderes, etwas Unaussprechliches, das reine Böse. Mike weiß, dass er verloren hat. Er schließt seine Augen. Dann beginnt der Wahnsinn. Und das Sterben.

“A harrowing, up-all-night read with delicious scares at every turn. Joe Schreiber knows just what terrifies us, and his masterly skills are on full display.”—Tess Gerritsen, author of The Bone Garden “One part noir, one part horror, one part the uniquely talented Joe Schreiber. Dark, chilling, scary—I couldn’t put it down.”—Peter Abrahams, author of Nerve Damage Escorted from prison under heavy guard, murderous psychopath Frank Snow is scheduled for an emergency brain scan at Tanglewood Memorial Hospital, an institution that is closing its doors after one final night of operation. But Snow has something far more terrifying planned. And once the lights go out, a fiendish game of hide-and-seek begins. Alone in the dark with a homicidal madman who knows their fears, their secrets, and their every move, MRI technician Mike Hughes, his wife and child, and the other unlucky souls trapped in the hospital have no choice but to duel with the devil incarnate. If they play by their stalker’s twisted rules, some of them might just survive. But there’s more to Frank Snow than the naked eye can see . . . or the sane mind can bear. Praise for Eat the Dark “Eat the Dark is a tight novel of terror. Well written, fast paced, with a grip like a claw. I loved it.”—Joe R. Lansdale, author of The Bottoms “Reminiscent of Stephen King’s early work, Eat the Dark is a terrifying, claustrophobic, bone-chilling, unputdownable masterpiece of suspense fiction. Human monster Frank Snow is a wonderful creation.”—Jason Starr, author of The Follower “I didn''t just Eat the Dark–I gorged on it. It’s a master class in fast-moving, scary-as-sh*t storytelling.”—Duane Swierczynski, author of Severance Package
