HERE IS
A SMALL FACT - YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding
its breath. Death has never been busier. Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is

to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This is her story and the story
of the inhabitants of her street when the bombs begin to fall. SOME IMPORTANT
INFORMATION - THIS NOVEL IS NARRATED BY DEATH. It's a small story, about: a girl,
an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist fighter, and quite a lot
of thievery. ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULD KNOW - DEATH WILL VISIT THE BOOK THIEF

A
gleeful and exhilarating tale of global conspiracy, complex code-breaking,
high-tech data visualization, young love, rollicking adventure, and the secret
to eternal life--mostly set in a hole-in-the-wall San Francisco bookstore The
Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco
Web-design drone--and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a
ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr.
Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins
to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There
are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to
actually buy anything, instead "checking out" impossibly obscure
volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate,
long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a
front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he's embarked on a complex
analysis of the customers' behavior and roped his friends into helping to
figure out just what's going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr.
Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the
bookstore. With irresistible brio and dazzling intelligence, Robin Sloan has
crafted a literary adventure story for the twenty-first century, evoking both
the fairy-tale charm of Haruki Murakami and the enthusiastic novel-of-ideas
wizardry of Neal Stephenson or a young Umberto Eco, but with a unique and
feisty sensibility that's rare to the world of literary fiction. "Mr.
Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore" is exactly what it sounds like: an
establishment you have to enter and will never want to leave, a modern-day
cabinet of wonders ready to give a jolt of energy to every curious reader, no
matter the time of day.

Another
hilarious and moving novel from bestselling, critically acclaimed author David
Walliams, the natural successor to Roald Dahl. A story of prejudice and
acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of
David's previous bestsellers. Our hero Ben is bored beyond belief after he is
made to stay at his grandma's house. She's the boringest grandma ever: all she
wants to do is to play Scrabble, and eat cabbage soup. But there are two things
Ben doesn't know about his grandma. 1) She was once an international jewel
thief. 2) All her life, she has been plotting to steal the crown jewels, and
now she needs Ben's help...

The
sparkling debut children's novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and
fastest growing children's author in the country. Dennis was different. Why was
he different, you ask? Well, a small clue might be in the title of this
book...Charming, surprising and hilarious - The Boy in the Dress is everything
you would expect from the co-creator of Little Britain. David Walliams's
beautiful first novel will touch the hearts (and funny bones) of children and
adults alike.
