<p>A Curse So Dark And Lonely</p>

<p>A New York Times bestseller!</p>

<p>"Has everything you'd want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale." - Jodi Picoult</p>

<p>In a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Brigid Kemmerer gives readers another compulsively readable romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer.</p>

<p>Fall in love, break the curse.</p>

<p>It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.</p>

<p>Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the streets of Washington, DC, she's instead somehow sucked into Rhen's cursed world.</p>

<p>Break the curse, save the kingdom.</p>

<p>A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.</p>

<p>No Friend but the Mountains: The True Story of an Illegally Imprisoned Refugee</p>

<p>The Award-winning International Bestselling Story of One Man's Six Year Detention in Australia</p>

<p>‘A&nbsp;powerfully vivid account of the experiences of a refugee: desperation, brutality, suffering, and all observed with an eye that seems to see everything and told in a voice that’s equal to the task.' - Phillip Pullman</p>

<p>In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country’s most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.</p>

<p>Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi, they form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.</p>

<p>No Friend but the Mountains&nbsp;is both a brave act of witness and a moving testament to the humanity of all people, in the most extreme of circumstances.</p>

<p>'A&nbsp;brilliant book.&nbsp;No Friend but the Mountains&nbsp;can rightly take its place on the shelf of world prison literature . . . It is a profound victory for a young poet who showed us all how much words can still matter.'&nbsp;- Richard Flanagan, Booker Prize winning author of&nbsp;The Narrow Road to the Deep North</p>
