The League of Seven is the first book in an action-packed, steampunk series by the acclaimed author of Samurai Shortstop, Alan Gratz.

In an alternate 1875 America electricity is forbidden, Native Americans and Yankees are united, and eldritch evil lurks in the shadows. Young Archie Dent knows there really are monsters in the world. His parents are members of the Septemberist Society, whose job it is to protect humanity from hideous giants called the Mangleborn. Trapped in underground prisons for a thousand years, the giant monsters have been all but forgotten―but now they are rising again as the steam-driven America of 1875 rediscovers electricity, the lifeblood of the Mangleborn. When his parents and the rest of the Septemberists are brainwashed by one of the evil creatures, Archie must assemble a team of seven young heroes to save the world.

Live by the code. Die by the code?

Kamran Smith has it all. He’s the star of the football team, dates the most popular girl, and can’t wait to enlist in the army like his big brother, Darius. Although Kamran’s mother is from Iran, Kamran has always felt 100% American. Accepted.

And then everything implodes.

Darius is accused of being a terrorist. Kamran refuses to believe it. But Darius has been filmed making threats against his country, hinting at an upcoming deadly attack. Suddenly, everyone in Kamran’s life turns against him and his family.

Kamran knows it’s up to him to clear his brother’s name. In a race against time, Kamran must piece together a series of clues and codes that will lead him to Darius—and the truth.

But is it a truth Kamran is ready to face? And is he putting his own life at risk?

Acclaimed author Alan Gratz (Prisoner B-3087) takes readers on a heart-pounding, nonstop adventure through underground intelligence bunkers and dangerous terrorist cells, weaving a gripping tale about the War on Terror—and the bond between brothers.

Infiltrate. Befriend. Sabotage.

Was tun, wenn „Harry Potter“ und „Alice im Wunderland“ verboten werden? Ein Buch über die Macht und die Bedeutung von Büchern
Amy liebt Bücher und das Lesen. Doch dann wird ihr Lieblingsbuch aus der Schulbibliothek verbannt – angeblich ist es ungeeignet für Grundschüler, respektlos und unmoralisch. Die sonst so zurückhaltende Amy ist empört: Es ist ein ganz tolles Buch! Und jeder sollte es ausleihen und lesen können! Als immer mehr Bücher aus den Regalen verschwinden, eröffnet Amy kurzerhand die G.S.B., die Geheime Schließfach-Bibliothek. Hier können ihre Mitschüler alle verbannten Bücher heimlich ausleihen. Schon bald boomt Amys Bibliothek, und gemeinsam schmieden die Kinder einen Plan, um sich gegen die Bücherverbannung zur Wehr zu setzen. Denn niemand soll ihnen vorschreiben, welche Bücher sie lesen dürfen!
