#1 – From the World of Percy Jackson: The Wild Zone Rick Riordan, Annabelle Oh AN ANCIENT CURSE. A DEADLY TRAP. A MONSTROUS SECRET. AND A FIGHT TO SURVIVE . . . Welcome to Camp Half-Blood! The legendary secret sanctuary where demigod kids – the children of Greek gods and mortals – can discover their true potential. Katie Kim may be a newcomer here, but even she knows they weren’t supposed to be in the Wild Zone – the forbidden forest that’s strictly off-limits to campers and staff. Why, then, did Clarisse, head counsellor of Katie’s cabin, take her and four other newbies there in the dark of night and tell them to race back to camp by morning? Clarisse’s challenge was scary enough, but when Katie’s half-brother goes missing, his disappearance sparks the arrival of vicious monsters and a mysterious curse. It’s up to Katie and the three remaining newbies – the ‘Wild Omada’ – to brave the Wild Zone again and uncover its dark and deadly secrets.

M. Vipurvi Devathma “Four families, A Gathering in White Deer Cliff Hall, Amidst shards of unbroken memories, An abandoned home, A nameless soul.”

Gintota was a peaceful little village in the Southern coast of Sri Lanka, over half a century ago. That was the home of Sybil Wettasinghe. The refreshing rural background to all her stories and illustrations are recollections of her early childhood days which never seem to diminish in her mind over the passing years. Sybil claims that her love of writing and illustrating books for children and young adults keep her gloriously happy and contented. A grandmother of five, Sybil says that all the world’s children are like her very own. She loves them all. Children are the spice of her life. Sybil started her literary career with the classic Umbrella Thief, way back in 1956 and today is internationally recognized as one of the world’s best children’s book and illustrators. In The Child in Me, which is based on Sybil’s enchanting childhood in Gintota, the reader is confronted with “A child and a grown-up who live as one and magical things they dream of together…” With the winning of the Gratiaen Award, a highly acclaimed Japanese translation and a new edition with beautiful colour illustrations, today The Child in Me is recognized as a classic.

HE BREAKS RULES, HEARTS AND RECORDS As Prem, the nation’s first love; as Bajrangi, the unlikely hero who saved the day and brought kindness back in vogue; as Tiger, the action king who redefined machismo for a new India, Salman Khan is the only Bollywood superstar who has ruled romance, comedy and action with equal ease and style. While critics share the perfect love-hate relationship with him, for his fans—who flock to the theatres with every new release, their loyalty unquestionable, their excitement unbridled—nothing can match the anticipation of a new film starring Salman Khan. His signature swagger, magnetic charm and larger-than-life persona have fascinated moviegoers film after film. In Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood, through fan interviews, never-before-seen photos and insights from long-time collaborators of the star, the author has put forward an ode to the actor who has made an impact on pop culture like no other. Through controversies and comebacks, blockbusters and hard life lessons, Salman has remained cinema’s wild heart and its last true mystery—perhaps the only superstar of his kind that India will ever see.
