  Sinopse: It is the summer of 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. On break from boarding school, he is staying with eccentric strangers—his uncle and aunt—in their vast house in Hampshire. When two local people die from symptoms that resemble the plague, Holmes begins to investigate what really killed them, helped by his new tutor, an American named Amyus Crowe. So begins Sherlock’s true education in detection, as he discovers the dastardly crimes of a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent.

  F. Paul Wilson 
  Doherty, Tom Associates, LLC
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: Everyone loves senior Carson Toliver, the captain and quarterback of the football team, heartthrob of South Burlington County Regional High—especially the girls. Even Jack’s best friend Weezy has a crush on him. And unlike most of the popular kids at school, he’s not stuck up. Jack even sees him defending a piney kid who is being bullied in the hall. Which is why Jack is so surprised when Weezy tells him that Carson took her on a date and attacked her.
  Jack tries to convince her to report Carson, but Weezy would rather just forget it ever happened. She begs him not to tell anyone, and Jack reluctantly agrees. But then Carson starts telling his own version of what happened that night and suddenly everyone is calling her “Easy Weezy.” Jack’s concern turns to rage. Carson needs to be taught a lesson. With the help of the pineys—reclusive inhabitants of the mysterious Jersey Pine Barrens who have secrets of their own—Jack finds a way to exact secret vengeance…
  In F. Paul Wilson's third young adult novel, the teenage Jack demonstrates the skills that will serve him later in life as the urban mercenary known as Repairman Jack. 

  Trapped
  Michael Northrop
  Scholastic, Inc
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive....
  Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision....

  Cloaked                                                                                             
  Alex Flinn
  HarperCollins Publishers
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all.
  It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission.
  There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades.
  Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.


  Cryer's Cross
  Lisa McMann
  Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: The small town of Cryer’s Cross is rocked by tragedy when an unassuming freshman disappears without a trace. Kendall Fletcher wasn’t that friendly with the missing girl, but the angst wreaks havoc on her OCD-addled brain.
  When a second student goes missing—someone close to Kendall’s heart—the community is in an uproar. Caught in a downward spiral of fear and anxiety, Kendall’s not sure she can hold it together. When she starts hearing the voices of the missing, calling out to her and pleading for help, she fears she’s losing her grip on reality. But when she finds messages scratched in a desk at school—messages that could only be from the missing student who used to sit there—Kendall decides that crazy or not, she’d never forgive herself if she didn’t act on her suspicions.
  Something’s not right in Cryer’s Cross—and Kendall’s about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.


  Kindred                                                                                                               
  Tammar Stein
  Knopf, Alfred A. Incorporated
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: The first time I meet an angel, it is Raphael and I am eighteen.
  Miriam is an unassuming college freshman stuck on campus after her spring break plans fall through. She's not a religious girl--when pressed she admits reluctantly to believing in a higher power. Truth be told, she's about as comfortable speaking about her faith as she is about her love life, which is to say, not at all. And then the archangel Raphael pays Miriam a visit, and she finds herself on a desperate mission to save two of her contemporaries. To top it all off, her twin brother, Mo, has also had a visitation, but from the opposite end of the good-evil spectrum, which leaves Miriam to wonder--has she been blessed and her brother cursed or vice versa? And what is the real purpose behind her mission?


  So Shelly
  Ty Roth 
  Random House Children's Books
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: Until now, high school junior, John Keats, has only tiptoed near the edges of the vortex that is schoolmate and literary prodigy, Gordon Byron. That is, until their mutual friend, Shelly, drowns in a sailing accident.
  After stealing Shelly's ashes from her wake at Trinity Catholic High School, the boys set a course for the small Lake Erie island where Shelly's body had washed ashore and to where she wished to be returned. It would be one last "so Shelly" romantic quest. At least that's what they think. As they navigate around the obstacles and resist temptations during their odyssey, Keats and Gordon glue together the shattered pieces of Shelly's and their own pasts while attempting to make sense of her tragic and premature end.

  Hoje vou postar os lançamentos interessantes (pra mim ehhe) da semana (até quarta-feira)... Lembrando que, se vocês quiserem que eu volte a postar todos os livros, é só comentar pedindo, e eu faço, só não garanto que eu não vá ter que começar a fazer partes dos posts de WW Hehe Então... Vamos lá:

  R. A. Nelson
  Random House Children's Books
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: Seventeen-year-old Emma feels cursed by her epilepsy—until the lost night. She's shocked to wake up in the hospital one morning, weak from blood loss. When her memories begin to return, she pieces together that it was a man—a monster—who attacked her: a vampire named Wirtz. And it was her very condition that saved her: a grand mal seizure interrupted Wirtz and left Emma with all the amazing powers of a vampire—heightened senses, rapid speed—but no need to drink blood. Is Emma now a half-vampire girl? One thing soon becomes clear: the vampire Wirtz is fierce and merciless, feared even by his own kind, and won't leave a job undone.




  Vesper
  Jeff Sampson
  HarperCollins Publishers
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: Emily Webb is a geek. And she’s happy that way. Content hiding under hoodies and curling up to watch old horror flicks, she’s never been the kind of girl who sneaks out for midnight parties. And she’s definitely not the kind of girl who starts fights or flirts with other girls’ boyfriends. Until one night Emily finds herself doing exactly that . . . the same night one of her classmates—also named Emily—is found mysteriously murdered.
  The thing is, Emily doesn’t know why she’s doing any of this. By day, she’s the same old boring Emily, but by night, she turns into a thrill seeker. With every nightfall, Emily gets wilder until it’s no longer just her personality that changes. Her body can do things it never could before: Emily is now strong, fast, and utterly fearless. And soon Emily realizes that she’s not just coming out of her shell . . . there’s something much bigger going on. Is she bewitched by the soul of the other, murdered Emily? Or is Emily Webb becoming something else entirely— something not human?
  As Emily hunts for answers, she finds out that she’s not the only one this is happening to—some of her classmates are changing as well. Who is turning these teens into monsters—and how many people will they kill to get what they want?

  É isso, povo! Espero que tenham gostado! Comentem!

  Tiger's Curse                                                  
  Colleen Houck
  Sterling Publishing Co.
  Estados Unidos
  Sinopse: Passion. Fate. Loyalty. 
  Would you risk it all to change your destiny? 
  The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. 
  But that's exactly what happened. 
  Face-to-face with dark forces, spell-binding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever. 
  Tiger's Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.

  Vera and her brother, Will, live in the shadow of the Great Panic, in a country that has collapsed from environmental catastrophe.

Weekly Wednesday: 15-22 December Week

  Oi, povo feliz!
  Mais uma quarta-feira, mais um dia em que eu mostro aqui todos os livros que foram lançados aqui no Brasil e no resto do mundo nesta semana (desde a última quarta-feira). AH, eu sei que já expliquei os "procedimentos", mas faltou só uma coisa: Os livros do dia só serão postados uma vez, no dia mesmo, então tecnicamente a semana também poderia ser 16-22 December Week, só que como o post é de quartas-feiras, não vamos estragar a brincadeira! Hehe Mas então... Vamos lá!

                                                            Brasil    
                                    
  Okay, isso é um pouco humilhante... Minha maior - e minha única - fonte de informações sobre datas de lançamentos de livros aqui no Brasil falhou comigo, então eu não sei de nenhum livro dessa semana! Desculpem mesmo! Mas, não tem nada que eu possa fazer :/ Vou pular logo pro Mundo... :/

Solitary (Escape From Furnace #2)
Alexander Gordon Smith
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
Inglaterra
Sinopse: Alex Sawyer and his mates should have known there was no way out of Furnace Penitentiary. Their escape attempt only lands them deeper in the guts of this prison for young offenders, and then into solitary confinement. And that's where a whole new struggle begins — a struggle not to let the hellish conditions overwhelm them. Because before another escape attempt is even possible, they must first survive the nightmare that now haunts their endless nights.






The Dealer: Mission 2 (CHERUB #2)                        

Robert Muchamore
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Inglaterra
Sinopse: James is on his most daring mission yet: to smack down the world's most powerful drug lord. It means hitting the streets, where the dealers work. It's a vicious business. But James is going to take it down--from the top.CHERUB agents are highly trained, extremely talented--and all under the age of seventeen. For official purposes, these agents do not exist. They are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists, hack into crucial documents, and gather intel on global threats—all without gadgets or weapons. It is an extremely dangerous job, but these agents have one critical advantage: adults never suspect that teens are spying on them.





The Book Of Spells (Private Prequel)
Kate Brian
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Estados Unidos
Sinopse: A Private prequel that tells the true origins of Billings House!





Out For Blood (The Drake Series #3)                                   
Alyxandra Harvey
Walker & Company
Canadá
Sinopse: Hunter Wild is the youngest in a long line of elite vampire hunters, a legacy that is both a blessing and a curse at the secret Helios-Ra Academy, where she excels at just about everything. Thanks to her friendship with Kieran Black, Hunter receives a special invitation to attend the coronation of Helena Drake, and for the first time, she sees the difference between vampires that must be hunted and vampires that can become friends—or even more. When students at the academy fall victim to a mysterious illness, Hunter suspects they are under attack from within. She will need someone she can trust to help her save the future of Helios-Ra . . . help that shockingly comes in the form of Quinn Drake, a drop-dead gorgeous vampire. Who said senior year would be easy?


Tempestuous (Wondrous Strange Trilogy #3)
Lesley Livingston
HarperCollins Publishers
Canadá
Sinopse: "I don't love Sonny Flannery."
That's the lie Kelley Winslow told to protect the boy she loves from a power he doesn't know he possesses. Devastated, Sonny retreats—to a haven for Lost Fae that's hidden deep underneath New York City.
But Kelley's not about to let things end in heartbreak. To get Sonny back, she's got to find out who's after his magick—and how to use her own. She's got to uncover who's recruiting Janus Guards to murderously hunt innocent Faerie. She's got to help rebuild the shattered theater company she called family. And she's got to do it all without getting dangerously distracted by the Fennrys Wolf, whose legendary heart of stone seems to melt whenever he's around Kelley.
The intrigue and romance that began with Wondrous strange and Darklight come to a stormy head in Tempestuous, the breathtaking conclusion to Lesley Livingston's ravishing urban Faerie trilogy.


All You Get Is Me                                                                                                                   
All You Get Is Me By Yvonne PrinzYvonne Prinz
HarperCollins Publishers
Estados Unidos
Sinopse: A summer of love, loss, and justice.
Things were complicated enough for Roar, even before her father decided to yank her out of the city and go organic. Suddenly, she’s a farm girl, albeit a reluctant one, selling figs at the farmers’ market and developing her photographs in a ramshackle shed. Caught between a troublemaking sidekick named Storm, a brooding, easy-on-the-eyes L.A. boy, and a father on a human rights crusade that challenges the fabric of the farm community, Roar is going to have to tackle it all—even with dirt under her fingernails and her hair pulled back with a rubber band meant for asparagus.


  So... That's it! Haha Infelizmente, eu não vou poder postar por alguns dias, porque eu vou estar fora (Aaaawwww....) Haha Mas a Gi provavelmente volta por esses dias, e nesse fim de semana é Natal, então não faz muita diferença! xD Bom, até domingo!

E ela também tem uma obsessão… por fobias. E é bem verdade que ela não é mais a mesma desde que seu padrasto morreu. Mas precisava ser exilada no Maine, para morar com a avó? Isso já parece um pouco extremo, não? No entanto, foi uma atitude tomada com o suposto propósito de fazer com que Zara mantenha sua sanidade… porém, ela está bem certa de que o verdadeiro problema é que sua mão não consegue lidar com ela nesse momento.
Zara não poderia estar mais errada. Acontece que o cara que meio que a persegue não é um produto da sua imaginação. Na verdade, ele ainda a está seguindo, deixando para trás um misterioso rastro de poeira dourada. Algo não está certo – algo não humano – nessa cidadezinha estagnada no Maine, e todos os sinais apontam para Zara. Neste romance sinistro e cativante, Carrie Jones nos presenteia com uma boa dose de romance e suspense, além de no apresentar uma criatura que nunca havíamos pensado que deveríamos temer.

                                                Tutored
                                                Allison Whittenberg
           Random House Publishing Group
           Inglaterra
           Sinopse: Wendy Anderson and Hakiam Powell are at opposite ends of the spectrum—the social spectrum, the financial spectrum, the opportunity spectrum, you name it. Wendy lives in an all-white suburb of Philadelphia, where she’s always felt like the only chip in the cookie. Her dad, who fought his way out of the ghetto, doesn’t want her mingling with “those people.” In fact, all Wendy’s life, her father has told her how terrible “those people” are. He even objects to Wendy’s plan to attend a historically black college. But Wendy feels that her race is more than just the color of her skin, and she takes a job tutoring at an inner-city community center to get a more diverse perspective on life.
 
Hakiam has never lived in one place for more than a couple of years. When he aged out of foster care in Ohio, he hopped a bus to Philly to start over, but now he’s broke, stuck taking care of his cousin’s premature baby for no pay, and finding it harder than ever to stay out of trouble. When he meets Wendy at the tutoring center, he thinks she’s an uppity snob—she can’t possibly understand his life. But as he gets to know her better, he sees a softer side. And eventually—much to the chagrin of Wendy’s father and Hakiam’s cousin—they begin a rocky, but ultimately enlightening, romance.
