Visitations [graphic novel] / by Egbert, Corey,1988-author,illustrator.;
Corey's mom has always made him feel safe. Especially after his parents' divorce, and the dreaded visitations with his dad begin. But as Corey grows older, he can't ignore his mother's increasingly wild accusations. Her insistence that Corey act as his sister's protector. Her declaration that Corey's father is the devil. Soon, she whisks Corey and his sister away from their home and into the boiling Nevada desert. There, they struggle to survive with little food and the police on their trail. Meanwhile, under the night sky, Corey is visited by a flickering ghost, a girl who urges him to fight for a different world--one outside of his mother's spoon-fed tales, one Corey must find before it's too late.

The forbidden garden : the botanists of besieged Leningrad and their impossible choice / by Parkin, Simon,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the summer of 1941, German troops surrounded the Russian city of Leningrad-now St. Petersburg-and began the longest blockade in recorded history, one that would ultimately claim the lives of nearly three-quarters of a million people. At the center of the besieged city stood a converted palace that housed the world's largest collection of seeds-more than 250,000 samples hand-collected over two decades from all over the globe by world-famous explorer, geneticist, and dissident Nikolai Vavilov, who had recently been disappeared by the Soviet government. After attempts to evacuate the priceless collection failed and supplies dwindled amongst the three million starving citizens, the employes at the Plant Institute were left with a terrible choice. Should they save the collection? Or themselves? These were not just any seeds. The botanists believed they could be bred into heartier, disease-resistant, and more productive varieties suited for harsh climates, therefore changing the future of food production and preventing famines like those that had plagued their countrymen before. But protecting the seeds was no idle business. The scientists rescued potato samples under enemy fire, extinguished bombs landing on the seed bank's roof, and guarded the collection from scavengers, the bitter cold, and their own hunger. Then in the war's eleventh hour, Nazi plunderers presented a new threat to the collection ... Drawing from previously unseen sources, award-winning journalist Simon Parkin-who has "an inimitable capacity to find the human pulse in the underbelly of war" (The Spectator)-tells the incredible true story of the botanists who held their posts at the Plant Institute during the 872-day siege and the remarkable sacrifices they made in the name of science"--

Urgent matters / by Rodríguez, Paula(Paula Leonor),author.; Moses, Sarah,translator.; translation of:Rodríguez, Paula(Paula Leonor).Causas urgentes.English.;
A train crashes in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, leading forty-three people dead. A prayer card of Saint Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent matters, is left blowing above the wreckage. Hugo, a criminal on the run for murder, is also on the train. He seizes his chance to sneak out of the wreckage unsuspected, abandoning his possessions -- and, he hopes, his identity -- among bodies mangled beyond all recognition. The police suspect he's still alive, but are left scrambling to keep up as the media releases a barrage of misinformation and rumours as to his whereabouts. Whipping through the Buenos Aires mafia to the families affected by crime, the investigation uncovers the corrupt influences propping up power, and asks the ultimate question: will justice ever be served?
