- The knowing / by Talaga, Tanya,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From Tanya Talaga, the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of Seven Fallen Feathers, comes a riveting exploration of her family's story and a retelling of the history of the country we now call Canada. For generations, Indigenous People have known that their family members disappeared, many of them after being sent to residential schools, "Indian hospitals" and asylums through a coordinated system designed to destroy who the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people are. This is one of Canada's greatest open secrets, an unhealed wound that until recently lay hidden by shame and abandonment. The Knowing is the unfolding of Canadian history unlike anything we have ever read before. Award-winning and bestselling Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga retells the history of this country as only she can -- through an Indigenous lens, beginning with the life of her great-great grandmother Annie Carpenter and her family as they experienced decades of government- and Church-sanctioned enfranchisement and genocide. Deeply personal and meticulously researched, The Knowing is a seminal unravelling of the centuries-long oppression of Indigenous People that continues to reverberate in these communities today."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Talaga, Tanya; Generational trauma.; Indigenous peoples; Indigenous peoples;

- Golden in death / by Robb, J. D.,1950-author.;
"In the latest thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas investigates a murder with a mysterious motive-and a terrifying weapon. Pediatrician Kent Abner received the package on a beautiful April morning. Inside was a cheap trinket, a golden egg that could be opened into two halves. When he pried it apart, highly toxic airborne fumes entered his body-and killed him. After Eve Dallas calls the hazmat team-and undergoes testing to reassure both her and her husband that she hasn't been exposed-it's time to look into Dr. Abner's past and relationships. Not every victim Eve encounters is an angel, but it seems that Abner came pretty close-though he did ruffle some feathers over the years by taking stands for the weak and defenseless. While the lab tries to identify the deadly toxin, Eve hunts for the sender. But when someone else dies in the same grisly manner, it becomes clear that she's dealing with either a madman-or someone who has a hidden and elusive connection to both victims"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Dallas, Eve (Fictitious character); Policewomen; Murder;

- At the Rescue Cat Café / by Humphrey, Anna.; Rust, Kari.;
"A clowder of cats lives at the Rescue Cat Café, each distinct in look and personality and in need of a forever home. One sleeps in the sun, one winds around ankles, one is bold and adventurous ... but you won't see Mouse. He hides, watching the cafe with round green eyes. Day by day, visitors come to the café and, day by day, each cat goes home with a person who is just right for them. And every day, the café owner and her child are present. Like Mouse, the child is curious but shy. They watch the visitors come and go from behind their mum or safely tucked behind a book. They notice Mouse tucked away in his nook, hiding under a table, and playing with the feathers in a fancy lady's hat. And Mouse notices them, too. As the week passes, the child begins to come out of their shell, and Mouse's curiosity builds. On Sunday, when the child's yo-yo breaks and rolls across the floor, Mouse pounces-finally coming out of hiding to play. Before the shop owner and child close up that night, one final adoption takes place. If you peer into the window of the Rescue Cat Café, you won't see Mouse... because he's gone home."--- Subjects: Picture books.; Cats; Cat rescue;

- Nobody walks / by Herron, Mick.;
"Set in the same fictional London as his CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Slough House series, Mick Herron now introduces Tom Bettany, an ex-spook with a violent past and only one thing to live for: Avenging his son's death. Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France when he gets a voicemail from an Englishwoman he doesn't know telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is dead--Liam Bettany fell from his London balcony, where he was smoking dope. Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago, Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about his son's death. Maybe it's the guilt he feels about losing touch with his son that's gnawing at him, or maybe he's actually put his finger on a labyrinthine plot, but either way he'll get to the bottom of the tragedy, no matter whose feathers he has to ruffle. But more than a few people are interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from incarcerated mob bosses to those in the highest echelons of MI5. He might have thought he'd left it all behind when he first skipped town, but nobody really just walks away"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Suspense fiction.; Mystery fiction.; Great Britain.

- Carnival chaos / by Baptiste, Tracey.;
Twelve-year-old Misty and her mother have just moved from Trinidad to Brooklyn, New York, in time for the annual carnival celebrations over Labor Day weekend. Misty has plenty to deal with getting used to living with her cousins Aiden and Brooke in her new surroundings. On top of that, her mom is too busy trying to find a job and her aunts and uncles are too preoccupied with carnival preparations to pay any attention to her. Then really strange things begin to happen. A ball of feathers in the basement turns into a creature that squeaks and rolls around. When Misty and her cousins eat pieces of mango anchar, flames shoot out of their mouths. Most disturbing of all, Misty begins to see visions of the future--scary visions that soon come true. Misty discovers that she and her cousins come from a long line of mokos, people who have special powers meant to help them protect their community. Misty can see impending danger, Aiden can heal, and Brooke has crazy physical strength. The trio is just learning about their skills when Misty senses something watching her. And then each of the carnival events is disrupted by a different disaster. Some kind of evil force is clearly trying to stop the festivities. But why? And will moko magic be enough to save the day?- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Magic; Spirits; Ethnic festivals; Parades; Cousins; West Indians;
