But sometimes Moss still wishes he could be someone else—someone without panic attacks, someone whose father was still alive, someone who hadn’t become a rallying point for a community because of one horrible night. And most of all, he wishes he didn’t feel so stuck. Moss can’t even escape at school—he and his friends are subject to the lack of funds and crumbling infrastructure at West Oakland High, as well as constant intimidation by the resource officer stationed in their halls. That was even before the new regulations—it seems sometimes that the students are treated more like criminals. Something will have to change—but who will listen to a group of teens? When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.

Moss Jeffries é um adolescente negro que vive em São Francisco, Califórnia. De vez em quando, Moss gostaria de ser alguém diferente: um garoto sem ansiedade ou crises de pânico e cujo pai não foi covardemente assassinado pela polícia californiana. Afinal, é muito difícil ser reconhecido ou julgado nas ruas pela barbárie que lhe arrancou a figura paterna. Essa lembrança é quase que uma prisão para o jovem, e mesmo tendo uma mãe amorosa e corajosa, amigos leais e que esteja descobrindo a leveza do primeiro amor ao lado de Javier... Moss está cansado de se sentir preso. E tudo isso só piora diante da realidade cada vez mais opressora de sua escola que, além de estar sucateada, mantém os alunos sob vigilância policial, sendo tratados com violência e como se fossem criminosos. Algo precisa mudar, imediatamente. Mas quem está disposto a escutar os jovens que estão à margem da sociedade? Com o clima cada vez mais tenso e uma nova tragédia prestes a eclodir, Moss precisa encontrar a sua própria voz e tomar uma decisão: ceder ao medo ou usar a sua fúria como um dom para mudar essa realidade. O dom da fúria é um romance brutal sobre a realidade da juventude negra periférica, e também é sobre luto, amizade, amor e amadurecimento. Um livro importante, para não esquecermos, e que vai reverberar em muitos de nós. ______________________________________________________ "O dom da fúria é uma explosão de furor e de revolução. A estreia bela e brutal de Mark Oshiro prova que qualquer pessoa pode se tornar um herói, e que grandes mudanças ocorrem quando heróis trabalham juntos." Adam Silvera, autor de Os dois morrem no final "Uma forte adição a atual onda de romances realistas contemporâneos que têm a justiça social como tema. Recomendado para os fãs de O ódio que você semeia, de Angie Thomas." School Library Journal – resenha estrelada

Ale i jeho dny prosvětlil paprsek slunce v podobě milovaného Willa Solace, Apollónova syna. Spolu dokážou překonat jakoukoli překážku. Poslední dobou ale Nika volá hlas z Tartaru. Zdá se, že patří napravenému Titánovi, kterého Percy s Annabeth museli opustit během úniku z Hádovy říše. Nico se mu hodlá vydat na pomoc a Will trvá na tom, že ho doprovodí. Přežije ale bytost světla v nejtemnější části podsvětí? A čeho se tam Nico bude muset vzdát? Nakladatelská anotace.

Nico, the son of Hades, and his boyfriend Will, the son of Apollo, travel to Tartarus, the deepest, darkest part of the Underworld as they attempt to rescue an old friend.
