Alexander, William
Goblin Secrets
Signed by the author on the title page. Ages 8 and up. In the town of Zombay, a witch named Graba takes in stray children. Rownie is the youngest boy in her household; his only real relative is his older brother Rowan, who is an actor. But in Zombay, humans are forbidden to wear masks, perform plays, or pretend to be other than what they are. Rowan disappeared when the Mayor's Guard raided an illegal play. Desperate to find him, Rownie joins up with a troupe of goblins who skirt the law to put on plays. But their plays are not only for entertainment, and the masks they use are for more than make-believe. The goblins welcome Rownie; they also want to find Rowan, who might be the only person who can stop the mighty River from flooding the town.
Awards: ♦ Winner for the 2012 National Book Award for Young People's Literature ♦ Finalist for the 25th Annual Minnesota Book Award for Young People's Literature
Recommended by Elizabeth: A very enjoyable, not too scary fantasy. I particularly enjoyed the goblin theater troupe, and the behind the scenes look at live theater and acting.
Novel, 223 pages, Trade Paperback, Reprint of 2012 HC
A friend mysteriously disappears, leaving Kemal a generous allowance and the use of a large house. He discovers that his new dwelling involves an inheritance of $1.3 million, and a Russian nobleman's missing son. Kemal embarks on a missing person case that will bring chaos and romance to his life, as clues lead him from Istanbul to Buenos Aires, Boston, and Baltimore.
War has engulfed the other Earth. The vast scope of the conflict has trapped Reddy and his crew far from either front, but they must battle a bigger ship. The long-awaited invasion of Grik Indiaa has begun, and the Human-Lemurian Alliance is pushing back against the twisted might of the Dominion. The diplomatic waters seethe with treachery, and a final, terrible plot explodes in the Empire of New Britain Isles.
