Book summary:
When Anita Blake's boss at Animators, Inc., informs her that she's expected to raise 300-year-old zombies from a field of jumbled bones just to settle a land dispute, she's understandably annoyed. But as soon as she arrives in Branson, Missouri, to do the deed, the job gets more interesting. A psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts committing multiple murders in the area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her powerful fanged suitor, for help. As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping Jean-Claude at arm's length, clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and nailing the vampiric killer in one fell swoop. [via]

Book summary:
Narnia is the land of enchantment, glory, nobility--home to the magnificent Aslan, cruel Jadis (the White Queen), heroic Reepicheep, and kind Mr. Tumnus. All the magic of C.S. Lewis's Narnia, bewitching readers for almost 50 years, is captured for the first time in this splendid deluxe edition, including The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle, with fabulous illustrations hand-colored by the original Narnia artist Pauline Baynes and an insightful introduction by Narnia authority Brian Sibley.
Lewis's work has cast a spell over countless readers over the years, so that once we pick up The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we don't want to stop until we've read the whole series. The Complete Chronicles makes it even easier to keep reading! The seven beloved stories have been arranged in the chronological order in which Lewis intended them to be read. Begin at the beginning, as Digory and Polly are tricked into a strange other world, which becomes, even as they watch, the great Narnia. Return again and again with four other children--Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy--who are to play such a vital role in Narnia's history. Finally, enter the whimsical land one last time to witness the end of Time, and the beginning of something new: "world within world, Narnia within Narnia." This gorgeous volume is absolutely a must-have for current and future Narnia lovers. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Book summary:
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World, the almost timeless landscape that seems to stretch from the wreckage of civility that defined Roland's youth to the crimson chaos that seems the future's only promise. Readers of Stephen King's epic series know Roland well, or as well as this enigmatic hero can be known. They also know the companions who have been drawn to his quest for the Dark Tower: Eddie Dean and his wife, Susannah; Jake Chambers, the boy who has come twice through the doorway of death into Roland's world; and Oy, the Billy-Bumbler.
In this long-awaited fifth novel in the saga, their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands. Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie, and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world.
As Father Callahan tells the ka-tet the astonishing story of what happened following his shamed departure from Maine in 1977, his connection to the Dark Tower becomes clear, as does the danger facing a single red rose in a vacant lot off Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan. For Calla Bryn Sturgis, danger gathers in the east like a storm cloud. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough. [via]

Book summary:
As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief& or will it?
Book five in JK Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teenager. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny from the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth: that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toad-like and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of defence against dark arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the high inquisitor of Hogwarts. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their examinations, devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team line-up, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible, and matters that seemed black and white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Here we have an adolescent who's sometimes sullen, often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energised as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvellous magical series. --Emilie Coulter [via]

Cada uno de los siete libros es una obra maestra, que sumerge a los lectores en un terreno donde la magia es realidad, y el resultado es un mundo ficticio cuyo ámbito ha fascinado a generaciones.

Book summary:
From the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to the 1960s, Mexican American Catholics experienced racism and discrimination within the U.S. Catholic church, as white priests and bishops maintained a racial divide in all areas of the church's ministry. To oppose this religious apartheid and challenge the church to minister fairly to all of its faithful, a group of Chicano priests formed PADRES (Padres Asociados para Derechos Religiosos, Educativos y Sociales, or Priests Associated for Religious, Educational, and Social Rights) in 1969. Over the next twenty years, PADRES became a powerful force for change within the Catholic church and for social justice within American society. This book offers the first history of the founding, activism, victories, and defeats of PADRES. At the heart of the book are oral history interviews with the founders of PADRES, who describe how their ministries in poor Mexican American parishes, as well as their own experiences of racism and discrimination within and outside the church, galvanized them into starting and sustaining the movement. Richard Martinez traces the ways in which PADRES was inspired by the Chicano movement and other civil rights struggles of the 1960s and also probes its linkages with liberation theology in Latin America. He uses a combination of social movement theory and organizational theory to explain how the group emerged, flourished, and eventually disbanded in 1989.... RICHARD EDWARD MARTINEZ is an independent scholar who lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. He holds a Ph.D. in urban planning from UCLA. [via]

Book summary:
Jean Auel's fifth novel about Ayla, the Cro-Magnon cavewoman raised by Neanderthals, is the biggest comeback bestseller in Amazon.com history. In The Shelters of Stone, Ayla meets the Zelandonii tribe of Jondalar, the Cro-Magnon hunk she rescued from Baby, her pet lion. Ayla is pregnant. How will Jondalar's mom react? Or his bitchy jilted fiancée? Ayla wows her future in-laws by striking fire from flint and taming a wild wolf. But most regard her Neanderthal adoptive Clan as subhuman "flatheads." Clan larynxes can't quite manage language, and Ayla must convince the Zelandonii that Clan sign language isn't just arm-flapping. Zelandonii and Clan are skirmishing, and those who interbreed are deemed "abominations." What would Jondalar's tribe think if they knew Ayla had to abandon her half-breed son in Clan country? The plot is slow to unfold, because Auel's first goal is to pack the tale with period Pleistocene detail, provocative speculation, and bits of romance, sex, tribal politics, soap opera, and homicidal wooly rhino-hunting adventure. It's an enveloping fact-based fantasy, a genre-crossing time trip to the Ice Age. --Tim Appelo [via]

There was a cabal at work -- on a plot cleverly crafted to set the entire world at war with itself. The American meant to put a stop to it, but needed to be hidden for a week or two. Reluctantly, Hannay agreed to hide him. The next morning he found the American dead -- scewered through the heart to the floor of Hannay's own apartment. Jacketless Library hardcover. [via]

Book summary:
The BBC Radio production of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a delightful two-hour sail on the most fabulous ship in Narnia. Lucy and Edmund, with their dreadful cousin Eustace, get magically pulled into a painting of a ship at sea. That ship is the Dawn Treader, and on board is Caspian, King of Narnia. He and his companions, including Reepicheep, the valiant warrior mouse, are searching for seven lost lords of Narnia, and their voyage will take them to the edge of the world. Their adventures include being captured by slave traders, a much-too-close encounter with a dragon, and visits to many enchanted islands, including the place where dreams come true. The adaptation is faithful to its source, C.S. Lewis's series of Narnia books, which have provided exciting and uplifting tales for generations of children. BBC Radio does wonders with sound effects--the ship creaks in the wind, the sorrowful dragon roars lugubriously--and musical cues and interludes that keep the pacing dynamic. There's also a splendid cast of plummy British voices, making this far more than a book read onto cassette--it's an audio drama, as enjoyable as a trip to the theater. Grownups who buy this tape for their children will want to borrow it for themselves. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Blaise Selby [via]

The fifth title in Diane Duane's Young Wizards series delves deeper into an emotional landscape than any of her previous books (So You Want to Be a Wizard, Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry, and A Wizard Abroad). For the first time ever, friends and wizard partners Nita and Kit seem to be having trouble communicating. They argue over a spell to clean up the pollution in New York's Jones Inlet, and from that point on, they can't connect on anything. Is it adolescence that's tearing them apart or something more profound? Meanwhile, Nita and her family are stunned to discover that her mother has cancer, and there's a possibility that nothing--not surgery, not even wizardry--can fight it. Nita refuses to let her mom go down without a fight, however, and soon she's on a mission that brings her face-to-face with the Lone Power, source of all death in the universe--Nita's worst enemy, and possibly her only hope.
Impressive in its scope, The Wizard's Dilemma, like all the titles in Duane's series, is packed with an intriguing combination of technology and magic that fans of fantasy, science fiction, technology, and even Christian literature will find absolutely gripping. Nita is a complex character, as befits her status as a teenager, not to mention a wizard. Her confusion and self-doubt will be painfully believable to every reader. There are no simple answers in this remarkably philosophical novel. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Book summary:
Les quatre premiers tomes des aventures du jeune sorcier à lunettes se sont envolés aussi rapidement que le vif d'or dans une partie de quidditch ! Harry Potter et l'Ordre du Phénix ne fera pas exception. La magie en revient encore à la plume vive de Joanne K. Rowling, mais également, cette fois, au tourbillon de difficultés dans lequel est happé Harry adolescent.
Harry vient de passer un autre pénible été chez son oncle et sa tante, sans nouvelles de ses amis ni du monde de la magie. Autrefois admis en héros à l'école des sorciers, il y est accueilli plutôt tièdement en cette cinquième année. C'est que le ministère de la Magie ne veut plus rien entendre des prétendues menaces de mort qui planent sur Harry Potter. Mandée pour effacer le souvenir de Voldemort des couloirs de l'école, une nouvelle enseignante en profite dès lors pour rendre la vie dure à Harry et semer la zizanie parmi les grands et les petits sorciers. Chassé de l'équipe de quidditch et ridiculisé par le ministère de la Magie, Harry doit également combattre les images que parvient à immiscer dans son cerveau Lord Voldemort, bel et bien vivant, et plus menaçant que jamais. Et pour couronner le tout, voilà que Harry se retrouve affligé d'une timidité qui le transforme en poireau devant la belle Cho Chang.
Plaçant son jeune héros dans une position impossible, entre un gouvernement de la magie incompétent et une école impuissante, J. K. Rowling réussit un portrait saisissant de l'adolescence. Harry Potter et l'Ordre du Phénix exprime ainsi cette tragique vérité : chaque être est seul, mais il possède en lui des ressources illimitées... --Julie Sergent [via]

Book summary:
Dans ce cinquième volet de la saga préhistorique « Les Enfants de la Terre », Ayla donne naissance à un enfant très attendu et prend conscience du rôle qu'elle est appelée à jouer dans la destinée des Zelandonii, la tribu de Jondalar. Après un long voyage épique à travers l'Europe, Ayla et Jondalar arrivent à l'emplacement de la Neuvième Caverne, un camp de l'âge de pierre situé dans ce qu'on appellera bien plus tard le Périgord. C'est là que Jondalar retrouve la tribu qui l'a vu naître, et qui se réjouit de son retour. L'accueil fait à Ayla est plus mitigé. Cette femme parle avec un accent curieux et, surtout, elle est suivie par un loup et deux chevaux sur lesquels elle exerce un pouvoir troublant. Mais, si la jeune femme étonne les Zelandonii, ceux-ci la surprennent tout autant par leur façon de vivre dans leurs confortables abris-sous-roche et par la splendeur des peintures dont ils ornent leurs grottes. Plongée dans cet univers étranger, Ayla parviendra-t-elle à gagner la confiance des membres de la tribu de Jondalar ? [via]

UNA DE LAS SAGAS MáS POPULARES DE NUESTRA ÉPOCA
Los Refugios de Piedra comienza cuando Ayla y Jondalar terminan su épico viaje a través de Europa en compañía de sus amigos, los animales Lobo, Relinchona y Corredor, y son bienvenidos por los zelandones, la gente del pueblo de Jondalar. Ayla se siente fascinada por la gente de la Novena Cueva de los zelandones. Y en Zelandoni, la líder espiritual de la Novena Cueva, y quien inició a Jondalar en el Regalo del Placer, descubre a una compañera con poderes curativos con quien compartir sus conocimientos y habilidades.
Pero en tanto que Ayla y Jondalar se preparan para convertirse formalmente en pareja durante los Encuentros de Verano, se presentan dificultades. No todos los zelandones los reciben con agrado. Algunos temen la influencia de Ayla y detestan su relación con aquellos a quienes llaman cabezas chatas, y ella llama los del Clan. Algunos hasta se oponen a que forme pareja con Jondalar y hacen evidente su disgusto. Ayla tiene que recurrir a todas sus habilidades, inteligencia, conocimientos e instintos para poder hallar el camino en esta complicada sociedad, prepararse para el nacimiento de su hijo, y decidir si está dispuesta a aceptar nuevos desafíos y desempeñar un papel significativo en el destino de los zelandones.

Book summary:
Zwölf Jahre dauerte die schöpferische Pause der unbestrittenen Königin des prähistorischen Romans -- doch jetzt können alle Fans aufatmen: Der fünfte Band aus der Reihe der Ayla-Romane ist endlich erschienen. Nahtlos setzt Auel die Geschichte von Ayla und das Tal der Großen Mutter fort und erzählt, wie die Steinzeit-Heldin am Ende ihrer langen Reise quer durch Europa in der Heimat ihres Gefährten Jondalar aufgenommen wird.
Ayla ist eine Angehörige der Cro-Magnon-Menschen, die dem heutigen Homo sapiens schon sehr ähnlich waren, aber die Welt vor 30.000 Jahren noch mit den Neandertalern teilten. In Ayla und der Clan des Bären wurde die fünfjährige Ayla durch einen Erdrutsch zur Waise und vorbeiziehende Neandertaler nahmen das fremdartige Kind auf. Dieser erste Band bezieht einen Großteil seiner Faszination aus der Konfrontation zweier sehr unterschiedlicher, menschlicher Spezies. Ebenso faszinierend ist der beeindruckend recherchierte Detailreichtum, mit der Auel das prähistorische Europa für ihre Leser zum Leben erweckt.
Dem fünften Band kann man dasselbe vorwerfen wie auch schon früheren Bänden: Allzu verliebt ist die Autorin in ihre Heldin, die sich nach ihrer schweren Kindheit jetzt der verzückten Bewunderung ihrer Freunde allzeit sicher sein kann. Darüber hinaus verliert sich Auel oft in detaillierten Beschreibungen und Wiederholungen und vernachlässigt dabei die eigentliche Handlung. Doch ungebrochen ist die Faszination, die Auels Reise in die Urzeit auf uns ausübt: Ayla steht für den Einfallsreichtum und Überlebenswillen unserer Vorfahren, für den Anbeginn der menschlichen Zivilisation.
Nicht zuletzt werden Auels Romane auch als Liebegeschichte geschätzt, die nicht mit Einzelheiten aus dem Intimleben ihrer Titelheldin geizt. Und nach vielen scharfsinnigen Überlegungen der Steinzeit-Medizinerin, wo denn eigentlich die Babies herkommen, können sich alle Fans auf ein ganz besonderes Highlight im fünften Band freuen. --Birgit Will [via]
