Le Québec en contes et légendes
Par Michel Savage. 2007
"[...] Écrit de manière simple et accessible, [ce livre] raconte l'histoire romancée du Québec depuis ses débuts. Il parle de…
loups-garous, de feux follets, de diables, de revenants et de fantômes. Il répond aussi à des questions comme "D'où vient l'hiver ?", "Qui est le Bonhomme Sept-heures ?" ou "Comment a-t-on découvert le sirop d'érable?". Le Québec en contes et légendes est un heureux mélange d'histoires les plus connues de la tradition orale, de contes inédits et de faits historiques relégués aux oubliettes. Plusieurs textes connus ont été réécrits par les auteurs pour mieux captiver les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui, pour leur faire peur, pour les faire pleurer ou pour les faire rire. [...]" -- 4e de couvWand
Par Landra Jennings. 2023
A dazzling story of grief and found family wrapped in a spellbinding fairy tale, perfect for fans of Anne Ursu…
and Jodi Lynn Anderson. Eleven-year-old Mira wishes everything could go back to the way it was. Before she changed schools and had to quit gymnastics. Especially before Papa died. Now she spends her days cooking and cleaning for her stepsisters and Val—who she still won't call mom and still won't forgive for the terrible thing she did. When a mysterious girl named Lyndame appears out of the woods wielding a powerful wand, she makes Mira an offer she can't refuse: she will grant Mira three wishes. What if magic isn't just pretend after all? What if these wishes could fix everything? But in the quiet town of Between, Georgia, where secrets lurk and rumors swirl of strange creatures, nothing is as it seems, and everything comes at a price. Rising talent Landra Jennings weaves together an enchanting, modern fairy tale with eloquence and compassion about finding hope after loss—and finding belonging in the places we least expectLes rapaillages: contes

one evening in Washington, DC, several high-ranking members of government disappear in a mass kidnapping. Among the kidnapped is Nick Rendel, a computer software coding expert in charge of drone programming and strategy. He is the victim with the most dangerous knowledge, including confidential passwords and codes that are used to program the drones. If revealed, his kidnappers could reprogram the drones to strike targets within the United States. Jon Smith and the Covert One team begin a worldwide search to recover the officials, but as the first kidnapping victims are rescued, they show disturbing signs of brainwashing or mind-altering drugs. Smith's investigation leads him to Fort Detrick, where a researcher, Dr. Laura Taylor, had been attempting to create a drug to wipe memory from soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. But Dr. Taylor's research was suspended almost a year ago, when she was placed in a mental institution. Now, if Smith doesn't figure out the brainwashing drug, and track down the kidnapped Nick Rendel, the kidnappers will soon have the power to carry out drone strikes anywhere in the worldThe patriot attack (Covert-One #12)

BE HER FATHER. SPYING IS THE FAMILY BUSINESS. Amanda Cole is a brilliant young CIA officer following in the footsteps of her father, who was a spy during the Cold War. It takes grit to succeed in this male-dominated world—but one hot summer day, when a Russian defector walks into her post, Amanda is given the ultimate chance to prove herself. The defector warns of the imminent assassination of a US senator. Though Amanda takes the warning seriously, her superiors don't. Twenty-four hours later, the senator is dead. And the assassination is just the beginning. Corporate blackmail, covert manipulation, corrupt oligarchs: the Kremlin has found a dangerous new way to wage war. Teaming up with Kath Frost, a fearless older woman and legendary spy, Amanda races from Rome to London, from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, unraveling the international conspiracy. But as she gets closer and closer to the truth, a central question haunts her: Why was her father's name written down in the senator's notes? What does Charlie Cole really know about the Kremlin plot? The Helsinki Affair is a riveting, globe-trotting spy thriller—but this time, with a refreshing female-centric twist.
