Новинки Лоры Руби

Когда мать Фрэнки умерла, отец оставил ее с сестрой в сиротском приюте в Чикаго. Фрэнки думала, это временная мера: когда папа встанет на ноги, он вновь сможет их забрать. Но ее мечты разбились, когда отец приехал с новой женщиной и сказал, что уезжает из штата.

Теперь Фрэнки и Тони совершенно одни — две молодые, никому не нужные девушки, которые хотят выжить. По мере того как угли Великой депрессии разгораются в огне Второй мировой войны, Фрэнки ищет хоть что-то, что поможет ей продержаться среди руин разрушенной Америки.

Признаться, даже я пока не знаю, чем закончится история Фрэнки.

Но я буду наблюдать за ней, чтобы это выяснить.

По крайней мере, именно так обычно делают призраки.

After the events of The Clockwork Ghost, Tess, Theo, and Jaime don’t know what to think about their legacy—both past and present. They have only one choice: to follow the Old York Cipher to the end.

The unforgettable story of two young women—one living, one dead—dealing with loss, desire, and the fragility of the American dream during WWII. When Frankie’s mother died and her father left her and her siblings at an orphanage in Chicago, it was supposed to be only temporary—just long enough for him to get back on his feet and be able to provide for them once again. That’s why Frankie's not prepared for the day that he arrives for his weekend visit with a new woman on his arm and out-of-state train tickets in his pocket. Now Frankie and her sister, Toni, are abandoned alongside so many other orphans—two young, unwanted women doing…

Continuing their efforts to solve the Morningstarr cipher in the aftermath of their home's destruction, the Biedermann twins and their friend Jaime encounter dangerous enemies who are attempting to claim the cipher's treasure

It was 1798 when the Morningstarr twins arrived in New York with a vision for a magnificent city: towering skyscrapers, dazzling machines, and winding train lines, all running on technology no one had ever seen before. Fifty-seven years later, the enigmatic architects disappeared, leaving behind for the people of New York the Old York Cipher—a puzzle laid into the shining city they constructed, at the end of which was promised a treasure beyond all imagining. By the present day, however, the puzzle has never been solved, and the greatest mystery of the modern world is little more than a tourist attraction.

Tess and Theo Biedermann and their friend Jaime Cruz live in a Morningstarr apartment house—until a real estate developer announces that the city has agreed to sell him the five remaining Morningstarr buildings. Their likely destruction means the end of a dream long-held by the people of New York. And if Tess, Theo and Jaime want to save their home, they have to prove that the Old York Cipher is real. Which means they have to solve it.

From National Book Award Finalist Laura Ruby comes a visionary epic set in a New York City at once familiar and wholly unexpected.

Bone Gap is the story of Roza, a beautiful girl who is taken from a quiet midwestern town and imprisoned by a mysterious man, and Finn, the only witness, who cannot forgive himself for being unable to identify her kidnapper. As we follow them through their melancholy pasts, their terrifying presents, their uncertain futures, acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret and forgiveness—a story about how the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.
