The Princess and the Pit Stop


Book Description

From a New York Times–bestselling author and Caldecott Medal-winning artist, this story of a royal race car driver is “a shot of gleeful adrenaline” (Publishers Weekly (starred review). Once upon a time there was a Princess. . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up? Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver’s seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fable and fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower. “The full-page illustrations are saturated with color and express the action so vividly readers will nearly hear the roar of the racetrack. The emphasis on the Princess’ racing skill and zeal for her sport is empowering and refreshing.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its breakneck speed and massive number of storybook references, The Princess and the Pit Stop is sure to be a story time favorite.” —Shelf Awareness




Angelwings


Book Description

Lesbian and gay--or queer--fiction (known in Mandarin as tongzhi wenxue) constitutes a major contribution to Taiwanese literature, as evidenced by the remarkable number of prestigious literary awards won by many of the authors of the short stories presented here. Indeed, the meteoric rise of this new genre was a defining feature of Taiwan's literary scene in the 1990s. Queer fiction was also instrumental in forming self-identifying subcultural gay readerships, thus serving a significant political function. But most strikingly, this fiction has been immensely popular with general readers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as well as in diasporic Chinese communities worldwide. The startlingly fresh, brave voices that speak through these stories attest to the powerful social ferment of the past ten years in Taiwan, which have witnessed a revolution in discourses on sex and sexuality in the public sphere.

Legacy


Book Description

As the eldest daughter of the Viking chieftain Alfarinn, Ótama’s duty was to honor their clan’s ways and prepare to lead. Demoralized by insidious rumors and simmering community distrust of her witch heritage, she fled. She may have planned to start a progressive new community in Greenland, but Fate, and Mother Nature, had another plan for her. Despite perishing during her voyage, she’s been allowed a second chance to build her dream. That means mending the rifts torn into her New World legacy and punishing the adversaries intent on destroying her descendants. While she’s focused on propping up her namesake tribe in New Mexico, unexpected distractions abound. The powerful fairy Lachlann Grant contends that she’s the fated partner he’s been waiting a thousand years for. Though he insists that their pairing is meant to right wrongs and balance them both, she’s wary. She didn’t claw her way back to the realm of the living to have her flame doused by yet another opinionated brute. But is he one? If she can’t trust that her fortune has finally turned for the better, not only will she spurn the rare partner capable of understanding her terrific magic, but she’ll cast herself as an outsider in the place where she was meant to be a queen.
