The streets of Chicago in 1886 are full of turmoil. Striking workers clash with police…illness and injury lurk around every corner…and twelve-year-old Addie must find her way through it all. Torn between her gruff Papa—who owns a hat shop and thinks the workers should be content with their American lives—and her beloved Uncle Chaim—who is active in the protests for the eight-hour day—Addie struggles to understand her topsy-turvy world, while keeping her family intact. Set in a Jewish neighborhood of Chicago during the days surrounding the Haymarket Affair, this novel vividly portrays one immigrant family’s experience, while also eloquently depicting the timeless conflict between the haves and the have-nots.

La Principessa Arabella si reca nel ricco regno di Elysia in missione diplomatica per prevenire una terribile guerra. Ma non appena arriva, la sua vita e' subito messa in pericolo da una serie di misteriosi tentati omicidi. Arabella deve scoprire chi e' il colpevole prima che sia troppo tardi. Tutto cio' la trascinera' in una inaspettata cospirazione e presto lei scoprira' che i suoi nemici non sono mai stati cosi forti. Mai cosi vicini.Nel Golfo, the principali rotte commerciali sono sempre state controllate da Elysia. L'Arcipelago Elysiano si e' arricchito ogni giorno con le merci provenienti dall'Oriente, i suoi abitanti hanno sempre vissuto godendosi il lusso e il potere di Elysia, che ha continuato ad aumentare. Finche' un giorno quel potere e' minacciato. Jarem, un regno vicino, non accettera' piu' l'indiscussa supremazia Elysiana e si prepara a fare guerra. Elysia ha bisogno di alleati: Vallemonte, un paese unificatosi da poco che finora era sempre rimasto nell'ombra, potrebbe essere esattamente cio' che il re di Elysia sta cercando. Ma l'alleanza con Vallemonte ha il suo prezzo. Arabella, la principessa Vallemontiana, ha una serie di richieste a cui non intende rinunciare. Questa infatti, potrebbe essere l'occasione per Vallemonte di uscire finalmente dall'ombra e strappare una manciata di ricchezze per se'. Tuttavia, mentre si trova ad Elysia per discutere questioni diplomatiche, Arabella si ritrova coinvolta in una serie di omidici e attentati alla vita che la trascineranno tra le file di un'inaspettata cospirazione. Con il nemico che si avvicina ai confini, ed Elysia che rischia di sgretolarsi dall'interno, l'ultima cosa di cui ha bisogno Arabella e' il proprio destino che si risveglia come predetto da un'antica profezia. In un mondo pronto allo scontro, dove la magia sta per rinascere e le lame dei pugnali tendono agguati in ogni angolo buio, ne' il suo cuore ne' la sua anima saranno risparmiate.Versione Inglese-Italiano
