You say it’s up to me to do the talking. You lean forward and your black leather chair groans, like a living thing. Like the cow it was before somebody killed it and turned it into a chair in a shrink’s office in a loony bin…Fifteen-year old Callie is so withdrawn that she’s not speaking to anyone – including her therapist at Sea Pines, known to its guests as ‘Sick Minds’ – the residential treatment facility where her parents and doctor send her after discovering that she cuts herself. Her story unfolds primarily through dramatic monologues, gradually revealing the family turmoil that led to her self-destructive behaviour. - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

The inspiring true story of Reckless, the brave little horse who became a Marine. When a group of US Marines fighting in the Korean War found a bedraggled mare, they wondered if she could be trained to as a packhorse. They had no idea that the skinny, underfed horse had one of the biggest and bravest hearts they’d ever known. And one of the biggest appetites!Soon Reckless showed herself more than willing to carry ammunition too heavy for the soldiers to haul. As cannons thundered and shells flew through the air, she marched into battle—again and again—becoming the only animal ever to officially hold military rank—becoming Sgt. Reckless—and receive two Purple Hearts.This is the first picture book from award-winning novelist Patricia McCormick, sumptuously illustrated by acclaimed artist Iacopo Bruno. - LjudbokEngelska, 2015

Perfect for fans of suspenseful nonfiction such as books by Steve Sheinkin, this is a page-turning narrative about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and pacifist who became an unlikely hero during World War II and took part in a plot to kill Hitler. Written by two-time National Book Award finalist Patricia McCormick, author of Sold and Never Fall Down and coauthor of the young reader''s edition of I Am Malala.It was April 5, 1943, and the Gestapo would arrive any minute. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had been expecting this day for a long time. He had put his papers in order—and left a few notes specifically for Hitler''s men to see. Two SS agents climbed the stairs and told the boyish-looking Bonhoeffer to come with them. He calmly said good-bye to his parents, put his Bible under his arm, and left. Upstairs there was proof, in his own handwriting, that this quiet young minister was part of a conspiracy to kill Adolf Hitler.This compelling, brilliantly researched account includes the remarkable discovery that Bonhoeffer was one of the first people to provide evidence to the Allies that Jews were being deported to death camps. It takes readers from his privileged early childhood to the studies and travel that would introduce him to peace activists around the world—eventually putting this gentle, scholarly pacifist on a deadly course to assassinate one of the most ruthless dictators in history. The Plot to Kill Hitler provides fascinating insights into what makes someone stand up for what''s right when no one else is standing with you. It is a question that every generation must answer again and again.With black-and-white photographs, fascinating sidebars, and thoroughly researched details, this book should be essential reading. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

PREMI NOBEL DE LA PAU 2014. Malala Yousafzai només tenia deu anys quan els talibans van assumir el control de la seva província. Deien que la música era un pecat. Deien que les dones no podien anar al mercat. Deien que les noies no podien anar a escola. La Malala va créixer en una pacífica regió del Pakistan que, de sobte, va patir la xacra del terrorisme. Va aprendre a defensar les seves conviccions i va lluitar pel seu dret a l''ensenyament. El nou d''octubre del 2012 gairebé va perdre la vida per aquesta causa: li van disparar a boca de canó quan tornava a casa amb l''autobús de l''escola. Ningú no s''esperava que sobrevisqués. Ara és un símbol internacional de protesta pacífica i la persona més jove que ha estat mai nominada per al Premi Nobel de la Pau. En aquesta nova edició de les seves famoses memòries, que inclou nombroses fotos i altres materials, coneixerem la impressionant història explicada en primera persona d''una noia que ja de petita sabia que volia canviar el món... i ho va aconseguir. La colpidora història de la Malala t''obrirà els ulls a un món diferent i et farà creure en l''esperança, la veritat, els miracles i la possibilitat que una persona, fins i tot una persona molt jove, pot inspirar la voluntat de transformació a la seva comunitat i més enllà. - E-bokSpanska, 2018

The Transformation of Intergovernmental Satellite Organisations: Policy and Legal Perspectives offers a multifaceted analysis of the complex policy and legal issues associated with the privatisation or restructuring of the world’s preeminent intergovernmental satellite organisations, INTELSAT, INMARSAT and EUTELSAT. Maury Mechanick, Christian Roisse, and David Sagar, each of whom were directly involved in these undertakings, provide a unique perspective on the critical issues involved, while Frans von der Dunk and Patricia McCormick offer a broader contextual assessment of their significance. The contributors’ insights regarding the restructuring of these satellite organisations and the intergovernmental organisations which oversee public services represent valuable reflections on those developments, as well as on changes occurring following privatisation regarding those entities’ ownership profiles and service provisions. - Kartonnage, Svenska, 2019, 12-15 år

Nobels fredspris-belönade Malala Yousafzais bästsäljande självbiografi i förkortning och bearbetning för unga läsare.
Malala Yousafzai är flickan som utmanade de talibanska islamisterna i Pakistan. Femton år gammal blev hon skjuten i huvudet och undkom döden med en hårsmån. Men innan hon blev en internationellt känd aktivist var hon helt enkelt en flicka som tog strid för vad hon trodde på. Så när flickorna i hennes tidigare så fridfulla del av Pakistan fick höra att de inte längre fick gå i skolan, riskerade hon livet för flickors rätt till utbildning.
I denna nedkortade version av hennes självbiografi, som även innehåller svartvita illustrationer, en ordlista och en tidslinje, får vi följa den märkliga historien om en flicka som vägrade låta sig tystas. Malala visar värdet i att ta strid mot hatet och erbjuder ett inspirerade budskap om beslutsamhet och hopp – med hennes egna ord.
