Луи Стоуэлл0.0 Packed with doodles and cartoons, here is the diary of Loki as he’s trapped on earth as a petulant eleven-year-old—and even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too.
After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can’t? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude! To keep track of Loki’s progress, King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth, even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies? Louie Stowell’s witty text and hysterical drawings will keep readers in stitches from start to finish.
Луиза Кеннеди3.0 One by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice.
If Davy had remembered to put on a coat.
If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street.
If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt.
There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her family. But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.
As people get up each morning and go to work, school, church or the pub, the daily news rolls in of another car bomb exploded, another man beaten, killed or left for dead. In the class Cushla teaches, the vocabulary of seven-year-old children now includes phrases like 'petrol bomb' and 'rubber bullets'. And as she is forced to tread lines she never thought she would cross, tensions in the town are escalating, threatening to destroy all she is working to hold together.
Tender and shocking, Trespasses is an unforgettable debut of people trying to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.
Бонни Гармус4.3 Все боятся Элизабет Зотт. Кто-то — ее ума, кто-то — остро заточенного карандаша, который она носит в прическе, а кто-то — четырнадцатидюймового ножа из ее сумочки (ведь каждый уважающий себя кулинар пользуется только своими собственными ножами). Причудливый зигзаг судьбы привел ее из Научно-исследовательского института Гастингса, где она мечтала заниматься абиогенезом (теорией возникновения жизни из неорганических веществ), на телевидение, где она ведет самую популярную в стране кулинарную передачу «Ужин в шесть». «Кулинария — это химия, — говорит она. — А химия — это жизнь. Она дает нам возможность изменить все, включая себя». Тем временем ее пятилетняя дочь Мадлен, растущая под присмотром минно-розыскного пса по кличке Шесть-Тридцать, пытается найти в школьной библиотеке Набокова и Нормана Мейлера, а также выстроить родословное древо, на котором должно найтись место и без пяти минут нобелевскому лауреату по химии Кальвину Эвансу, и фее-крестной, и деду в полосатой тюремной робе, и бабке, укрывшейся от налоговой полиции в Бразилии...
