Nebula Award nominee for Best NovellaWorld Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novella“If I had to nominate a worthy successor to Angela Carter, I would nominate Kelly Barnhill. "—Laura Ruby, two-time National Book Award finalist and author of Bone Gap"A slim little novella that packs a narrative punch more intense than that of many books ten times its length."—NPRAward-winning author Kelly Barnhill brings her singular talents to The Crane Husband, a raw, powerful story of love, sacrifice, and family.“Mothers fly away like migrating birds. This is why farmers have daughters.”A fifteen-year-old teenager is the backbone of her small Midwestern family, budgeting the household finances and raising her younger brother while her mom, a talented artist, weaves beautiful tapestries. For six years, it’s been just the three of them—her mom has brought home guests at times, but none have ever stayed.Yet when her mom brings home a six-foot tall crane with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to prevent her mom letting the intruder into her heart, and her children’s lives. Utterly enchanted and numb to his sharp edges, her mom abandons the world around her to weave the masterpiece the crane demands.In this stunning contemporary retelling of “The Crane Wife” by the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, one fiercely pragmatic teen forced to grow up faster than was fair will do whatever it takes to protect her family—and change the story.At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

An exquisite collection of haunting, magical stories from Newbery Medalist Kelly Barnhill When Mrs. Sorensen’s husband dies, she rekindles a long-dormant love with an unsuitable mate in “Mrs. Sorensen and the Sasquatch.” In “Open the Door and the Light Pours Through,” a young man wrestles with grief and his sexuality in an exchange of letters with his faraway beloved. “Dreadful Young Ladies” demonstrates the strength and power—known and unknown—of the imagination. In “Notes on the Untimely Death of Ronia Drake,” a witch is haunted by the deadly repercussions of a spell. “The Insect and the Astronomer” upends expectations about good and bad, knowledge and ignorance, love and longing. The World Fantasy Award–winning novella “The Unlicensed Magician” introduces the secret magical life of an invisible girl once left for dead—with thematic echoes of Barnhill’s Newbery Medal–winning novel, The Girl Who Drank the Moon. With bold, reality-bending invention underscored by richly illuminated universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope, the stories in Dreadful Young Ladies show why its author has been hailed as “a fantasist on the order of Neil Gaiman” (Minneapolis Star Tribune). This collection cements Barnhill’s place as one of the wittiest, most vital and compelling voices in contemporary literature.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER from the Newbery Medal winning author of THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOONStone-in-the-Glen, once a lovely town, has fallen on hard times. Fires, floods, and other calamities have caused the townsfolk to lose their library, their school, their park, and all sense of what it means to be generous, and kind. The people put their faith in the Mayor, a dazzling fellow who promises he alone can help. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer. (At least, no one has seen a dragon in his presence.) Only the clever orphans of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress at the edge of town can see how dire the town''s problems are. When one of the orphans goes missing from the Orphan House, all eyes turn to the Ogress. The orphans, though, know this can''t be: the Ogress, along with a flock of excellent crows, secretly delivers gifts to the people of Stone-in-the-Glen. But how can the orphans tell the story of the Ogress''s goodness to people who refuse to listen? And how can they make their deluded neighbours see the real villain in their midst? The orphans have heard a whisper that they will ''save the day'', but just how, they will have to find out ...

Eine feurige feministische Fantasy-Geschichte, die im Amerika der 1950er Jahre spielt, wo sich Tausende von Frauen spontan in Drachen verwandelt haben und die Vorstellungen vom Platz der Frau in der Welt sprengen. Perfekt für Fans von "The Handmaid''s Tale – Der Report der Magd", "Vox" und "Die Gabe".Alex Green ist ein junges Mädchen in einer Welt, die der unseren sehr ähnlich ist, mit Ausnahme eines bahnbrechenden Ereignisses: der Massenverwandlung von 1955, als Hunderttausende von gewöhnlichen Frauen und Müttern Flügel, Schuppen und Krallen entwickelten, eine Spur der feurigen Zerstörung hinterließen und sich in die Lüfte erhoben. War das ihre Entscheidung? Was wird aus denen, die zurückbleiben? Warum hat sich Alex'' geliebte Tante Marla verwandelt, ihre Mutter aber nicht? Alex weiß es nicht. Es ist tabu, darüber zu sprechen.Zum Schweigen gezwungen, muss sich Alex dennoch mit den Folgen dieses erstaunlichen Ereignisses auseinandersetzen: eine Mutter, die sie mehr denn je beschützt, ein abwesender Vater, die beunruhigende Behauptung, dass ihre Tante nie existiert hat, und die Beobachtung, dass ihre geliebte Cousine Bea auf gefährliche Weise von dem Verbotenen besessen ist.Dieser zeitgemäße und zeitlose Roman der preisgekrönten Autorin Kelly Barnhill entlarvt eine Welt, die Mädchen und Frauen klein halten will – ihr Leben und ihre Perspektiven – und erforscht, was passiert, wenn sie sich dennoch erheben – massenhaft – und den Raum einnehmen, der ihnen zusteht.Kirkus Reviews nannte "When Women Were Dragons" eines der besten Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Bücher des Jahres 2022.
