“Fairy tale and history merge seamlessly” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in this enchanting and lyrical novel about love and resilience from the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner, Katherine Rundell. Feo’s life is extraordinary. Her mother trains domesticated wolves to be able to fend for themselves in the snowy wilderness of Russia, and Feo is following in her footsteps to become a wolf wilder. She loves taking care of the wolves, especially the three who stay at the house because they refuse to leave Feo, even though they’ve already been wilded.

Super-Infinite

release date: Sep 06, 2022
Super-Infinite
Winner of the 2022 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction Winner of the 2022 Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize Shortlisted for the 2023 Plutarch Award A Wall Street Journal Top 10 Best Book of 2022 A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, Times Literary Supplement, and Literary Hub From the standout scholar Katherine Rundell, Super-Infinite presents a sparkling and very modern biography of John Donne: the poet of love, sex, and death. Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John Donne was incapable of being just one thing. He was a scholar of law, a sea adventurer, a priest, a member of Parliament—and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. He converted from Catholicism to Protestantism, was imprisoned for marrying a sixteen-year-old girl without her father’s consent, struggled to feed a family of ten children, and was often ill and in pain. He was a man who suffered from surges of misery, yet expressed in his verse many breathtaking impressions of electric joy and love. In Super-Infinite, Katherine Rundell embarks on a fleet-footed act of evangelism, showing us the many sides of Donne’s extraordinary life, his obsessions, his blazing words, and his tempestuous Elizabethan times—unveiling Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living.

Vanishing Treasures

Vanishing Treasures
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FROM BOSTON GLOBE, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, AND MORE! • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Katherine Rundell comes a “rare and magical book” (Bill Bryson) reckoning with the vanishing wonders of our natural world "This celebration of seahorses, lemurs, and others doubles as a wake-up call: look around and protect what you love.” —Boston Globe The world is more astonishing, more miraculous, and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this brilliant and passionately persuasive book, Katherine Rundell takes us on a globe-spanning tour of the world''s most awe-inspiring animals currently facing extinction. Consider the seahorse: couples mate for life and meet each morning for a dance, pirouetting and changing colors before going their separate ways, to dance again the next day. The American wood frog survives winter by allowing itself to freeze solid, its heartbeat slowing until it stops altogether. Come spring, the heart kick-starts itself spontaneously back to life. As for the lemur, it lives in matriarchal troops led by an alpha female (it’s not unusual for female ring-tailed lemurs to slap males across the face when they become aggressive). Whenever they are cold or frightened, they group together in what’s known as a lemur ball, paws and tails intertwined, to form a furry mass as big as a bicycle wheel. But each of these extraordinary animals is endangered or holds a sub-species that is endangered. This urgent, inspiring book of essays dedicated to 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures is a clarion call insisting that we look at the world around us with new eyes—to see the magic of the animals we live among, their unknown histories and capabilities, and above all how lucky we are to tread the same ground as such vanishing treasures. Beautifully illustrated, and full of inimitable wit and intellect, Vanishing Treasures is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck, to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness.

Sophie en los cielos de París
Una aventura conmovedora con tintes clásicos: intriga, acción, y cierta fantasía donde reina el amor a los libros y a la valentía. Tras hundirse un barco en el Canal de la Mancha, una niña de apenas un año aparece flotando en un estuche de violonchelo y es rescatada por un erudito y aventurero londinense llamado Charles Maxim. De esta forma tan extraordinaria comienza la conmovedora historia de Sophie y Charles, quien, una vez constatada la desaparición de la madre de la niña, se convierte en su tutor legal. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, se apodera de Sophie la idea de que su madre sobrevivió al naufragio, y aunque Charles le advierte que eso es casi imposible, para ella el «casi» significa que existe «alguna» posibilidad, y ésta, por remota que sea, jamás debe descartarse. Así pues, a pesar de que la única pista que tienen es una dirección parisina grabada en el estuche del chelo, Charles, que lo daría todo por verla feliz, accede a acompañarla a París para iniciar la incierta búsqueda. Allí, en una noche mágica, Sophie conoce a Matteo y sus amigos, unos jóvenes vagabundos que recorren la ciudad por los tejados y que enseguida se prestan a ayudarla para que su sueño se haga realidad. Reseña: «Una escritora con una voz profundamente personal y una imaginación fecunda.» Philip Pullman

Return to the magic of the Archipelago in the dazzling sequel to the runaway, #1 New York Times bestseller Impossible Creatures, hailed as “an instant classic” (Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal Winner for The One and Only Ivan)! *This spectacular book features foil and embossing on the jacket, full-color designed endpapers, and brilliant stained edges* Christopher Forrester woke to find a dragon chewing on his face—and his heart leapt for joy! He’d been dreaming of going back to the Archipelago, the secret cluster of islands where all the creatures of myth still live, and here was his summons. But there is a poison spreading in the Archipelago. Rooting it out will involve a daring rescue mission on the back of a sphinx, a stealthy entrance to a dragon’s lair, and a death-defying plan to save a prisoner held in the heart of a castle. At the center of this storm is Anya: a small girl with a flock of birds at her side, a new-hatched chick in her pocket, and a ravenous hunger for justice. Katherine Rundell’s second thrilling installment in the Impossible Creatures series involves castles, dragons, and revenge—the things of which great stories are made. The splendors within are brought to life with fifty illustrations, including a map and a bestiary of magical creatures.

El libro está lleno de escenas bellas y sorprendentes, como la del caballo blanco galopando por la ciudad a primera hora de la mañana, así como de un generoso sentido de la aventura y el compañerismo.

Sin duda Rundell está en la cumbre de su talento.» The Guardian «Rundell orquesta una acción trepidante y emocionante, con unos personajes vívidos y entrañables, con la precisión de un relojero.» Daily Mail «Con una trama apasionante y unos personajes inolvidables, lo último de Rundell es otro triunfo.» Mail on Sunday «Bellamente escrito y con una trama perfecta.» The Times Saturday Review «Katherine Rundell se hizo un nombre con la multipremiada Sophie en los cielos de París y es una de las autoras infantiles más talentosas que existen.» D aily Express «Con un ritmo rápido y una redacción aguda, con generosas dosis de emoción y humor, la nueva novela de Rundell atraerá a los lectores amantes de las grandes aventuras y con un fuerte sentido de la justicia.» Bookpage

Sophie op de daken
Gevierd kinderboekenschrijver Katherine Rundell verrast opnieuw met een prachtig en meeslepend verhaal over een meisje in het Parijs van de twintigste eeuw. Katherine Rundell, bekend van Feo en de wolven en De ontdekkingsreiziger, vertelt in Sophie op de daken een meeslepend verhaal over familie en doorzettingsvermogen. Opnieuw een schitterende jeugdroman van een van de belangrijkste Britse kinderboekenauteurs van dit moment. Sophie overleefde als baby een schipbreuk en iedereen denkt dat ze wees is. Maar Sophie herinnert zich nog dat haar moeder om hulp zwaaide toen Sophie in een cellokist in het Kanaal dreef. Volgens haar voogd is het bijna onmogelijk dat haar moeder nog leeft. Maar ‘bijna onmogelijk’ betekent ‘nog mogelijk’, vindt Sophie. Met de enige aanwijzing die ze heeft – het adres van de cellomaker – vlucht Sophie naar Parijs. Daar krijgt ze hulp van Matteo en zijn ‘daklopers’, die in geheime plekken boven de stad wonen. Maar kunnen ze haar moeder vinden voordat Sophie wordt opgepakt door de autoriteiten? Of, nog belangrijker, voordat ze de hoop opgeeft? Katherine Rundells boeken zijn bekroond met grote literaire prijzen, waaronder de Blue Peter Award, Costa Book Award en Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
