Siobhan Dowd Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Children's author Robin Stevens is to write a sequel to The London Eye Mystery by the late Siobhan Dowd for Penguin Random House Children’s. The London Eye Mystery is about a boy called Ted whose brain has its “own operating system”. When his cousin disappears on the London Eye, Ted and his sister Kat try to solve the mystery of where Salim has gone. The book was first published in June 2007, shortly before Dowd’s death, by Corgi Children’s, which is an imprint of what was then Random House Children’s. Stevens, who is the author of the Murder Most Unladylike series of murder mysteries (PRH Children’s), will write a sequel entitled The Guggenheim Mystery. Dowd came up with the title before her death, though the story itself is a new creation by Stevens. PRH Children’s editorial director Kelly Hurst and commissioning editor Natalie Doherty acquired the world English rights from Hilary Delamere at The Agency and Gemma Cooper at the Bent Agency. Publication of The Guggenheim Mystery set for August 2017 to mark the 10th anniversary of the original, and a portion of the royalties will be donated to the Siobhan Dowd Trust.

Samen ontrafelen ze haar ware persoonlijkheid, en de geheimen uit het verleden.

Il mostro si presenta a Conor sette minuti dopo la mezzanotte. Puntuale. Ma non è il mostro che Conor si aspettava, l'orribile incubo fatto quando sua madre ha iniziato le cure mediche. Questo mostro è diverso. È un albero. Antico come una storia perduta. Selvaggio come una storia indomabile. E vuole da Conor la cosa più pericolosa di tutte. La verità.

Digging for peat in the mountain with his Uncle Tally, Fergus finds the body of a child, and it looks like she's been murdered. As Fergus tries to make sense of the mad world around him - his brother on hunger-strike in prison, his growing feelings for Cora, his parents arguing over the Troubles, and him in it up to the neck, blackmailed into acting as courier to God knows what, a little voice comes to him in his dreams, and the mystery of the bog child unfurls. Bog Child is an astonishing novel exploring the sacrifices made in the name of peace, and the unflinching strength of the human spirit.
