He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there''s the island''s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children. But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve. And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart. Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.

Když se chlapec – nyní muž – z domu na konci cesty vrátí, může Ox ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní? Oxovi bylo dvanáct, když mu jeho tatínek udělil velmi cennou lekci. Prohlásil, že Ox za nic nestojí a lidi ho nikdy nepochopí. Pak odešel. Oxovi bylo šestnáct, když na cestě potkal chlapce; chlapce, který mluvil a mluvil a mluvil. Ox později zjistil, že před tímto dnem chlapec nepromluvil skoro dva roky a že patří k rodině, která se nastěhovala do domu na konci ulice. Oxovi bylo sedmnáct, když odhalil chlapcovo tajemství, které zbarvilo svět okolo něj do odstínů červené a oranžové a fialové, alfy a bety a omegy. Oxovi bylo třiadvacet, když do města vtrhli vrahové a zanechali mu díru v hlavě i v srdci. Chlapec se pustil za netvorem s pomstou ve svých krvavě rudých očích a nechal Oxe, aby poskládal střípky svého života zpátky dohromady sám. Od toho osudného dne uplynuly tři roky – a chlapec je zpátky. Jenže teď je z něj muž a Ox už nemůže dál ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní.

This ebundle includes the complete Extraordinaries series: The Extraordinaries, Flash Fire, and Heat Wave. Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune’s YA series, The Extraordinaries, tells a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves. The Extraordinaries: Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right? After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick''s best friend (and maybe the love of his life). Flash Fire: When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic. Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames? Heat Wave: School’s out for the summer and a raging, malevolent heat has blanketed Nova City. Dark, twisted, probably evil shadows have drenched the doorsteps of her good people’s homes. And Nicholas Bell—fanboy, hero, ADHD-haver—is being super dramatic again. But something’s off, and Nick will need all his friends and loved ones together to uncover the truth before Nova City falls prey to the Burke family. A truth that will reveal a traitor in their midst and burn through their lives like a wildfire.

Romantický sci-fi fantasy příběh z prostředí podivného lesa obývaného člověkem Victorem, roboty a androidy, je mimo jiné inspirován i příběhem Pinocchia. V nenápadném domově postaveném ve větvích stromů žijí tři roboti - otcovský vynalézavý android Giovanni Lawson, mile sadistická mechanická ošetřovatelka a malý, neurotický vysavač. A žije s nimi i Victor Lawson, člověk. Jsou jedna rodina, schovaná a v bezpečí. Poté, co Vic z blízkého šrotoviště zachrání androida s označením "HAP", doženou Gia ozvuky temné minulosti. Stačí totiž jediná kapka krve z Victorovy dlaně, aby upozornila roboty z Giova předchozího života na to, kde se nachází. A zatímco se Vicův domov hroutí v plamenech, Gio je zajat a odvezen zpátky do laboratoře ve Městě elektrických snů. Zbytek Vicovy nesourodé rodiny se tak musí vydat na cestu nehostinnou krajinou, aby Gia zachránil před přeprogramováním. Cestou za záchranou Gia musí Vic, zmítaný protichůdnými pocity zrady a náklonnosti k Hapovi, učinit rozhodnutí: Dokáže přijmout lásku s podmínkami? Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Green Creek is the perfect setting.” —Charlaine Harris The Bennett family has a secret: They''re not just a family, they''re a pack. Brothersong is Carter Bennett''s story.

Na jeho okraji, kousek od silnice vinoucí se lesem, je mezi horami uhnízděná čajovna, kterou vlastní muž jménem Hugo.

First editions of the Flash Fire hardcover come with a reversible jacket! Flash Fire is the explosive sequel to The Extraordinaries by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune! Through bravery, charm, and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams. Now instead of just writing stories about him, Nick actually gets to kiss him. On the mouth. A lot. But having a superhero boyfriend isn’t everything Nick thought it would be—he’s still struggling to make peace with his own lack of extraordinary powers. When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic. Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames?
