Gertrude, Eugenia y Dee-Dee Porch son tres hermanas que aún no han encontrado su lugar en el mundo: no lo es el pueblo finolis de Antiquarium, donde todas las chicas tienen que ir a escuelas de etiqueta y la única raza de perro permitida es el bichón frisé. No lo es su familia adoptiva y, desde luego, tampoco la escuela de etiqueta de la estiradísima señora Wintermacher… A ellas les interesa mucho más la ciencia. Un día, reciben una misteriosa invitación a la escuela de Millicent Quibb, una científica que acabará reclutándolas para combatir a un grupo de villanos y salvar al pueblo, a todos sus habitantes ¡y a los bichones frisé!

The riveting new novel by the author of the 2021 National Book Award winner and bestseller Hell of a Book People Like Us is Jason Mott’s electric new novel. It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason’s life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don’t let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt. In People Like Us, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.

Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm’s curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray…even as love complicates everything.
