      When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father. What the nurse, her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how this death will irrevocably change all of their lives, in ways both expected and not. Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides and unites us. It is about opening your eyes.

    • Over 50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far. The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published. "The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." —The New York Times "Taut with tension, filled with drama." —The Chicago Tribune "[A] classic coming-of-age book." —Philadelphia Daily News A New York Herald Tribune Best Teenage Book A Chicago Tribune Book World Spring Book Festival Honor Book An ALA Best Book for Young Adults Winner of the Massachusetts Children's Book Award

      When Daniel Stone was a child, he was the only white boy in a native Eskimo village where his mother taught, and he was teased mercilessly because he was different. He fought back, the baddest of the bad kids: stealing, drinking, robbing and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush - where he honed his artistic talent, fell in love with a girl and got her pregnant. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself - jettisoning all that anger to become a docile, devoted husband and father. Fifteen years later, when we meet Daniel again, he is a comic book artist. His wife teaches Dante's Inferno at a local college; his daughter, Trixie, is the light of his life - and a girl who only knows her father as the even-tempered, mild-mannered man he has been her whole life. Until, that is, she is date raped... and Daniel finds himself struggling, again, with a powerlessness and a rage that may not just swallow him whole, but destroy his family and his future.

Doch kurz vor der Abreise bricht in der Stadt ein Virus aus und Finn wird als Arzt in seinem Krankenhaus gebraucht. Widerstrebend bricht Diana allein auf und findet eine Insel im Ausnahmezustand. Inmitten dieser Situation, die niemand wirklich einschätzen kann, gerät Diana immer mehr an ihre Grenzen – all die Pläne, die sie so sorgfältig geschmiedet hat, haben plötzlich keinen Wert mehr. Doch wie schafft man es, in einer Welt, die sich von einem Tag auf den anderen verändert hat, dem eigenen Kompass zu vertrauen? »›Ich wünschte, du wärst hier‹ ist ein Buch, das nachwirkt, nie reißerisch oder voyeuristisch und trotz aller Unangestrengtheit auch nie platt.« WDR3 Kultur

      Ein fesselnder Roman über zwei unvergessliche Frauen, die vier Jahrhunderte trennen und dennoch um dieselbe Sache kämpfen: dass ihre Stimmen gehört werden. England im frühen 17. Jahrhundert: Emilia Bassano liebt das Schreiben, doch als Frau hat sie keine eigene Stimme. Nur für einen hohen Preis kann sie ihre Geschichten heimlich auf die Bühne bringen: Sie muss einen Mann finden, der sich als Autor ihrer Werke ausgibt. Und dieser ist niemand anders als Englands berühmtester Dramatiker: William Shakespeare. New York in der Gegenwart: Melina Green ist fest entschlossen, ihr Theaterstück zu veröffentlichen, inspiriert vom Leben ihrer Vorfahrin Emilia Bassano. Auch vierhundert Jahre später wird die Stimme einer Frau immer noch nicht so gehört wie die eines Mannes. Doch wie weit kann Melina gehen, um ihren Traum zu verwirklichen? »Jodi Picoult ist einzigartig! Ihre Romane berühren das Herz und erweitern den Verstand.« Emily Henry
