Линда Сью Парк – лучшие книги

Гонка за тридцатью девтью ключами, которые принесут обладателю власть над всем миром, продолжается. На этот раз 14-летняя Эми и ее младший брат Дэн отправились на Багамы, куда их приводят следы удалой пиратки Энн Бонни. Однако поиски ключа едва не отходят на второй план, когда Эми и Дэн узнают правду об их компаньонки Неми, которая оказывается все это время вела двойную игру.

Дэн и его старшая сестра Эми продолжают бороться за жизни своих родственников, похищенных таинственной и могущественной группой Весперов. Новые поиски приводят их сперва в Йель-ский университет, а потом и в Бразилию. Очередная задача кажется уж совсем немыслимой: отыскать пропавшую страницу загадочной древней рукописи, расшифровать которую не могут лучшие умы всего мира.
Но чем ближе к концу игры, тем она становится запутаннее и опаснее.
Вдобавок Эми и Дэн обнаруживают, что в их команде есть предатель...

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.

Sun-hee and her older brother, Tae-yul, live in Korea with their parents. Because Korea is under Japanese occupation, the children study Japanese and speak it at school. Their own language, their flag, the folktales Uncle tells them—even their names—are all part of the Korean culture that is now forbidden. When World War II comes to Korea, Sun-hee is surprised that the Japanese expect their Korean subjects to fight on their side. But the greatest shock of all comes when Tae-yul enlists in the Japanese army in an attempt to protect Uncle, who is suspected of aiding the Korean resistance. Sun-hee stays behind, entrusted with the life-and-death secrets of a family at war.

Raffa Santana has always loved the mysterious Forest of Wonders. For a gifted young apothecary like him, every leaf has the potential to unleash a kind of magic. If only Raffa's cautious father would allow him to experiment freely, Raffa knows he could discover miracles.

When an injured bat crashes into Raffa's life, he invents a cure from a rare crimson vine that he finds deep in the forest. The powers of the vine are stronger than Raffa could have imagined. His remedy saves the animal but also transforms it into something much more than an ordinary bat, with far-reaching consequences. Raffa's experiments lead him away from home to the forbidding city of Gilden, where troubling discoveries make him question who he can trust . . . and whether exciting botanical inventions, including his own, might actually threaten the very creatures of the forest he wants to protect.
