Book Description

The sun always rises, even in Nachtwald, and for Priscilla it’s a brand new day full of promise. Baseball tryouts are going as well as could be hoped. There’s edible food to be found, and a bewitching, broomstick-riding friend to share it with. Plus Balthazar, town prince and school idol, seems interested in dating her. There’s just one problem: Kitten wanted him first! When the green-eyed monster of jealousy and a set of snobby vampire grandparents descend on Nachtwald, Priscilla might have to hop a broomstick back to America just to stay sane.

Book Description

A German teenage girl leads her misfit soccer team against their school’s challenging team in this continuing sports manga series. When the going gets tough, the tough dress to impress! It’s been a hard road, but Anya is determined to start her own soccer team. And thanks to her friend Feliz’s inspirational Gothic Lolita jersey design, the topsy-turvy team has started to attract some serious attention. Do they have what it takes to compete with the official school team? It’s going to take more than indie cred and high fashion if they want to take their game to the next level! Praise for Gothic Sports, Volume 1 “The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series.”—School Library Journal “Gothic Sports is a German manga created by Anike Hage who appears to have adapted many of the classic tropes of manga, while still maintaining an individual style that shines. The art is wonderful—a minimalist line-style coupled with a prudent use of tone. The wide range of emotions the characters display are wonderfully captured in the art and promises bigger and better things from this artist in the future.”—Otaku News

Book Description

The first volume of Bernard Donoughue's Downing Street Diary was described by Charles Moore in the Daily Telegraph as 'the best account of Harold Wlson's last days'; 'the sheer scale and detail are fascinating' wrote Peter Riddell in the Times Literary Supplement. This second volume covers the three years, 1976-79, when Donoughue was Senior Policy Advisor to James Callaghan. At first Callaghan quickly established dominance over his cabinet and restored calm after the plots and scandals of the later Wilson years. His incomes policy reduced inflation and, in the teeth of opposition from the left wing, he negotiated the notorious IMF loan at the expense of eliminating some of Labour's most cherished dreams. By 1978, Callaghan, a politician of great patriotism and decency, seemed to have succeeded in steering Britain into calmer waters. But then the storm broke. Trade union militants brushed aside their mediocre leaders and launched a ferocious attack on Callaghan's pay policy, driving up inflation and demonstrating the government's impotence. In the diaries we see the prime minister and the government paralysed as the 'Winter of Discontent' began to bite and politics took to the streets. As Labour drifted to inevitable defeat in the 1979 election we see Callaghan fighting honourably. From the smoke of battle there emerges a striking new leader: Margaret Thatcher. The diaries describe vividly both the decline and final collapse of 'old' Labour and how Mrs Thatcher took the opportunity to launch her crusade to dismantle trade union power and much of the British public sector. Besides James Callaghan the chief figures in this volume of Lord Donoughue's diaries are Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey, Tony Crosland, Michael Foot, Shirley Williams, David Owen and Tony Benn.
