Growing up in many orphanages, live is not easy for young Nicolas, a boy with a genius mind, suffering from the ill-treatment of other kinds and his narcolepsy — an illness that makes him fall asleep right in the middle of a spot as soon as he gets agitated. He is ever so full of hope for a change for the better when he arrives at his new place to be, the orphanage at Child’s End. The extraordinary education of Nicolas Benedict is the sequel to Trenton Lee Stewart’s book series “the mysterious Benedict society”.

Not only her uncle, the wizard but Dark Street and her live as a whole are in danger.

The bear and the Nightingale, Katherine Arden
In a village deep in the Russian wilderness where winter lasts most of the year, people have always been honouring the spirits that protect their homes from evil, easily interweaving ancient myths with Christian faith. While the frost becomes bitingly cold, the family of Piotr Vladimirowich huddles up beside their large oven, listening to fairytales. Their “real” live is often hard, winters are harsh, traditions have to be obeyed, girls have to be married or to go to a convent — some things appear to be inevitably unchangeable. But are they really? All of a sudden, dark spirits and unwary souls start to rise. The villagers might not know it yet, but their lives are in danger. Who is to save them? The new, enigmatic orthodox priest or Piotr’s daughter, the uncommon Vasilisa Petrovna, a girl of strong mind, bound to nature, riding like the wind? — And is there a chance left at all?
