Inhalt: The New York Times-bestselling author of The Only Good Indians and My Heart Is a Chainsaw makes his comics debut with this time-hopping horror thriller about far-future Indigenous outcasts on a mission to kill Christopher Columbus. The year is 2112, and it's the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the desert and figured out where everything took a turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own-a reluctant linguist named Tad-on a bloody, one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But there are steep costs to disrupting the timeline, and taking down an icon isn't an easy task for an academic with no tactical training and only a wavering moral compass to guide him. As the horror of the task ahead unfolds and Tad's commitment is tested, his actions could trigger a devastating new fate for his friends and the future. Join Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice for Earthdivers, Vol. 1, the beginning of an unforgettable ongoing sci-fi slasher spanning centuries of America's Colonial past to explore the staggering forces of history and the individual choices we make to survive it.

When eighteen-year-old aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood discovers her beloved father slumped over the desk of his office study, she knows his death means dire straits for the Dashwood women. To make matters worse, an outdated will entails his estate—including Norland und Company, the private investigation firm where her younger sister Marianne worked as her father's partner and protégé—to their half-brother and his haughty wife, who waste no time in forcing the Dashwoods out of their home and into a cramped apartment on London's Barton Street.
But before they go, the Dashwood sisters make a startling discovery: a suspicious substance in their father's teacup—one that can only be described as poison. And poison, as Marianne's father taught her, always points to murder.
It could be dangerous; it could ruin their reputations; and most importantly, it won't bring back their father. But if the Dashwood sisters can combine their talents and bring their father's murderer to justice, it may bring them all some comfort—and it might even lead to love.

Shadow and Bone meets Lore in Rebecca Ross's Divine Rivals, an epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love. A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.
For anyone who has ever craved sleep—and anyone too full of energy to settle down—a comedy from Bob Shea, creator of the popular Dinosaur vs. series, and singular illustrator Jarvis. It's sleepy time for Lion and Penguin. Correction: it should be sleepy time for Lion and Penguin, but Lion's eyes aren't tired, and his ears would like a story. Penguin, however, is tired and nods off into sweet candy dreams—until a noise wakes him. "Oh, are you awake?" asks Lion sweetly, seated before a drum set. "Let's have that story, then!" "Not now. It is time to close your eyes and dream dreams." And so it goes, with an ever-more-disgruntled Penguin trying to nod off while an exuberant Lion innocently practices his drumming, bounces on his squeaky trampoline, and munches on his crunchy chips. Will Penguin need to resort to extreme measures to get his friend to sleep, or has the answer been there all along? Bob Shea's signature wit, delivered only in dialogue, and Jarvis's unassuming, retro art and knack for visual humor are sure to delight young readers—and their caregivers—whether at naptime, bedtime, or anytime.

In this funny, big-hearted friendship story, perfect for fans of Wendy Mass and Linda Urban, twelve-year-old Edie and her impossibly cool cousin, Rae, set out to complete a mysterious list of “Good Ideas for Summertime” that their eccentric late grandmother wrote back when she was their age.
But good ideas? Most of them seem like bad ideas. Reckless. Foolish. Ridiculous. Still, by accomplishing everything on the list, rule-abiding Edie feels certain that she can become the effortlessly brave adventurer she dreams of being, just like her daring cousin and bold grandmother. For this one summer at least, bad ideas are the best shot she has at becoming who she wants to be.
Bad Idea Number One: It’s time for a new set of rules.
Inhalt:Booksmart meets Never Have I Ever in this debut YA rom-com about two Korean American teens forced into a shared college visit road trip where they discover that the reasons they’ve been rivals their entire lives might actually be signs they’re a perfect pair. Winter Park and Bobby Bae are Korean American high school juniors whose families have been friends since the kids were making crayon art. They, however, are repulsed by each other. Winter is MIT-bound, comfortable keeping people at arm’s length, and known by others as responsible, though she has a desire to let loose. This probably comes from her rebel grandmother, who is constantly pushing boundaries and encouraging Winter to do so as well. Winter’s best friend is moving abroad and won’t be attending college at all, and Winter’s wrestling with what it means to be left behind. Bobby is as Type-A, anxious, and risk-averse as you can get. He’s also been recently dumped, which has him feeling disoriented and untethered. That’s why, when Winter’s and Bobby’s parents insist that they go on a northeast college campus tour together, both teens find reasons to accept even though the idea of being stuck in a car together for 700 miles sounds unbearable. What awaits them is a journey of self-discovery, and the only rule on their road trip is to break all the rules. At first, this happens in hilariously calculated ways (using lists and reason and logic!), but they soon abandon that, challenging each other to dares in Virginia, getting high and wandering around Philly for food—and battling the subsequent digestive distress—and crashing a party in Cambridge. And, of course, realizing that they’re perfect together. Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek ISBN: 978-0-593-62477-7
Inhalt:"Beautifully explores the high and low notes of fame. . . . A must-read for anyone who loves layered characters, true-to-life personalities, and country music!"—Jason June, New York Times best-selling author Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six, this queer coming-of-age story celebrates country music, complicated women, and living authentically. They say never meet your idols. But nothing about digging up their deepest secrets. Seventeen-year-old aspiring journalist Darren Purchase has been a lifelong fan of country music legend Decklee Cassel, who’s as famous for her classic hits as she is for her partnership with songwriter Mickenlee Hooper. The same Mickenlee who mysteriously backed out of the limelight at the height of their careers, never to be heard from again. Now Decklee’s televised funeral marks the unveiling of her long-awaited time capsule. But when it’s revealed to be empty, a trail of scavenger-hunt clues unfolds, leading to a whopping cash prize for whoever finds the real capsule. Darren knows there’s a story there—and she’s going to be the one to break it. Even if it means a spontaneous road trip with her coworker Kendall. Flashback to 1963, when a young runaway Decklee has her sights set on fame and glory. As she claws her way to the top over the years that follow, it’s Mickenlee’s lyrics that help rocket her to stardom. But as their relationship evolves beyond the professional, it threatens everything Decklee has worked for. What else will she sacrifice to hold on to her dreams? Told in alternating perspectives, Every Time You Hear That Song is a beautiful tale told across lifetimes. There’s more to Decklee’s story that Darren ever could have guessed, but the real story she has to tell is her own. Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek ISBN: 978-0-593-82521-1

Inhalt: Irgendwie hatte Andy sich das alles anders vorgestellt. Er lebt aus einem Koffer im Gästezimmer seines besten Freundes und wartet darauf, dass seine Karriere als Stand-up-Comedian endlich losgeht. Doch der Erfolg bleibt aus, seine Social-Media-Paranoia ist wenig hilfreich, sein Freundeskreis schwindet rapide und ihn beschleicht der Verdacht, dass er mit 35 Jahren längst viel weiter sein müsste. Vor allem aber ringt er darum, das dramatische Ende seiner Beziehung zu der einzigen Frau zu verarbeiten, die er je wirklich geliebt hat. Andy hat viel zu lernen, nicht zuletzt die Sicht seiner Ex-Freundin auf die Geschichte. Dolly Alderton erzählt warmherzig, witzig und klug vom Schmerz des Erwachsenwerdens, von den zwei Seiten einer jeden Geschichte, und davon, wie das, was uns am Ende doch nicht zerreißt, das werden kann, was uns zusammenhält."So weise und anrührend und unglaublich witzig!" Lena Dunham Umfang: 464 S. ISBN: 978-3-455-01737-3
Inhalt: Mit meinem Gott überspringe ich Mauern»Eine Radreise ist für mich nicht nur eine sportliche Herausforderung oder eine Jagd nach besonderen Erlebnissen. Sie ist immer auch eine Reise zu mir selbst, zu anderen Menschen und zu Gott.« Gereon AlterDass das Radreisen eine gesunde, umweltverträgliche und abwechslungsreiche Urlaubsform ist, hat sich längst herumgesprochen ? einmal mehr seit der Pandemie. Was vielleicht noch nicht jeder weiß: Ein Radurlaub kann auch zu einer Reise durch das eigene Leben werden. Denn wer auf dem Fahrradsattel durch die Welt fährt, bekommt es mit seiner Kraft und seinen Grenzen zu tun, mit seiner Lust auf Neues und seiner Angst vor dem Fremden, mit seiner Sehnsucht nach Gemeinschaft und dem Bedürfnis allein zu sein ? kurzum: mit allem, was das Leben auch sonst ausmacht. Und in all dem kann man auch Gott begegnen.Gereon Alter hat reichlich Erfahrung damit. Der aus dem Fernsehen bekannte und beliebte Pfarrer hat schon mehr als 70 Reisen mit dem Rad unternommen, kürzere und längere, in einer Gruppe, zu zweit oder auch allein. Er ist alten Pilgerwegen gefolgt, endlosen Highways und ruppigen Pisten; hat Millionenstädte durchquert, reißende Flüsse und einsame Wüsten; ist in der Sahara unterwegs gewesen, im Himalaya und in Alaska. Begonnen hat das alles mit einer unbändigen Lust aufs Leben; aufs Entdecken und Ausprobieren; auf das, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Und davon erzählt er in diesem Buch. Umfang: 224 S. ISBN: 978-3-641-31372-2
