Inhalt: Sie gelten als das Traumpaar der 1960er-Jahre - Romy Schneider und Alain Delon. Als sie sich 1958 bei den Dreharbeiten der Arthur-Schnitzler-Verfilmung "Christine" erstmals in Paris begegnen, verlieben sie sich ineinander. Fünf Jahre sollte diese außergewöhnliche, von zahlreichen Höhen und Tiefen geprägte Liaison dauern. Trotz Trennung standen sie vier Jahre später für den Kultfilm "Der Swimmingpool" erneut als Liebespaar vor der Kamera. Und es begann eine Freundschaft, die bis zu Romy Schneiders frühem und tragischem Tod 1982 anhielt. Als sie starb, war es Alain Delon, der sich um alles kümmerte. Sie war für ihn die Liebe seines Lebens: "Unsere Liebe hat nicht aufgehört. Sie hat sich verändert." Autor und Biograph Thilo Wydra hat für diese Geschichte einer großen Liebe mit zahlreichen Zeitzeugen in Frankreich und in Deutschland Gespräche geführt, Freunde und Kollegen von Romy Schneider und Alain Delon kommen ausführlich zu Wort - darunter etwa Jane Birkin, Senta Berger, Mario Adorf, Jean-Claude Carrière, Michael Verhoeven, Volker Schlöndorff und viele andere mehr. In ihren persönlichen Erinnerungen wird dieses deutsch-französische Liebespaar wieder lebendig. Umfang: 352 S. ISBN: 978-3-641-27047-6
New York Times bestseller! Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle grade fantasy, the first in a trilogy filled with #blackgirlmagic. Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, the Percy Jackson series, and Nevermoor.
Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good.
So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she's certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton—if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.
Now she must compete for a spot against kids who've known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries, Amari can't seem to escape their intense doubt and scrutiny—especially once her supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed "illegal." With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she's an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn't stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is kind. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna's thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge—with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth's surface. And the woman with the Tiger's heart is on the prowl . . . The author of the highly acclaimed, award-winning novel The Witch's Boy has written an epic coming-of-age fairy tale destined to be a modern classic.

In this riveting series opener, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first. This special edition contains beautiful black-and-white illustrations and commentary from Shannon Messenger! Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She's skipped multiple grades and doesn't really connect with the older kids at school, but she's not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie's a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that's what she thinks...
But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she's not alone. He's a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn't. Fitz opens Sophie's eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.
But Sophie still has secrets, and they're buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out. Standort: Overdrive Onleihbibliothek ISBN: 978-1-5344-8363-7
