"In this wildly inventive and powerfully intense thriller, which is already an international publishing sensation, two people, both shattered by their pasts, team up to solve a series of killings and abductions -- a ruthlessly planned escalation that turns out to be merely the visible surface of something far more sinister. When a woman is beheaded in a park outside Rome and her six-year-old son goes missing, the police investigators assigned to the case see an easy solution: they arrest the woman's husband and await his confession. But the chief of Rome's major crimes unit doubts things are so simple. Secretly, he lures to the case two of Italy's top analytical minds: Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, and Dante Torre, a man who, as the victim of a bizarre scheme, spent his childhood trapped inside a concrete silo.

The hammer of Thor
By Riordan, Rick
Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon, the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. This time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands.

Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki, and the price he wants is very high.

Sharuko
By Brown, Monica
A fascinating bilingual picture book biography of Peruvian archaeologist and national icon Julio C. Tello, who unearthed Peru's ancient cultures and fostered pride in the country's Indigenous history. Growing up in the late 1800s, Julio Tello, an Indigenous boy, spent time exploring the caves and burial grounds in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes. Nothing scared Julio, not even the ancient human skulls he found. His bravery earned him the boyhood nickname Sharuko, which means brave in Quechua, the language of the Native people of Peru. At the age of twelve, Julio moved to Lima to continue his education. While in medical school, he discovered an article about the skulls he had found. The skulls had long ago been sent to Lima to be studied by scientists.

Hear My Voice/Escucha mi voz
By Binford, Warren
A moving picture book for older children and families that introduces a difficult topic, amplifying the voices and experiences of immigrant children detained at the border between Mexico and the US. The children's actual words (from publicly available court documents) are assembled to tell one heartbreaking story, in both English and Spanish (back to back) . Each spread is illustrated in striking full-color by a different Latinx artist. A portion of sales will be donated to human rights organizations that work with children on the border.
PAIN AND GLORY tells of a series of re-encounters experienced by Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas) , a film director in his physical decline. Some of them in the flesh, others remembered: his childhood in the 60s, when he emigrated with his parents to a village in Valencia in search of prosperity, the first desire, his first adult love in the Madrid of the 80s, the pain of the breakup of that love while it was still alive and intense, writing as the only therapy to forget the unforgettable, the early discovery of cinema, and the void, the infinite void that creates the incapacity to keep on making films.
