JOEL WILL SOON be 12, and he thinks nothing is going on in the small community where he lives. But he’s wrong. One day, an incident that could easily have been a catastrophe turns into a miracle. Now Joel believes he owes the world a good deed, to prove that he deserved what might have been divine intervention. He thinks up an elaborate scheme, but it doesn’t go as anticipated. Even though his heart is in the right place, feelings are hurt. If he confesses what he’s done and why, will things be put right again? Readers who met Joel Gustafson, his father, and their friends in A Bridge to the Stars will follow, with appreciation, Henning Mankell’s shrewd depiction, in this companion novel, of the surprising changes in Joel’s existence. Mankell deftly explores Joel’s self-discovery, his realization that lives can be altered in a single moment, and his new understanding that a choice between telling the truth and keeping silent can make all the difference.From the Hardcover edition.

Change is a natural part of growing up. Bodies change, moods change, voices change, personalities change. But what happens when the changes aren’t natural but super natural? And what if they can be used for both good and evil? That’s the dilemma confronting Yale in Karen Rivers’ edgy, compelling thriller, Y in the Shadows. The kids at school have been ignoring Yale forever. It’s not because she’s stupid, or a jerk. She’s just the kind of girl people look right through, as though she were invisible. Yale’s not too thrilled with that. But now she’s discovered something about herself, something wonderful and terrifying. After all the years of feeling invisible, Yale discovers she has the power to actually be invisible — the power to disappear. She has the power to move undetected among the very people who’ve made her feel like she didn’t exist. Only this time, she’s listening. Watching. Planning. Ultimately, Yale finds herself having to choose whether she’ll use her ability to hurt or help someone very close to her

As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text.

However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.
