THE POLAR BEAR EXPLORERS’ CLUB \/ Alex Bell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounded like a respectable and worthy enough death for an explorer – tumbling from an ice bridge to be impaled upon a mammoth tusk – but Stella really, really didn’t want that to happen, just the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Stella Starflake Pearl and her three fellow explorers as they trek across the snowy Icelands and come face-to-face with frost fairies, snow queens, outlaw hideouts, unicorns, pygmy dinosaurs and carnivorous cabbages\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Stella and three other junior explorers get separated from their expedition can they cross the frozen wilderness and live to tell the tale?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AGENCE PERDIDO \/ Victor Dixen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaque jour, des objets et des gens disparaissent. Vous les pensez perdus ? Ils ont e\u0301te\u0301 vole\u0301s par des cre\u0301atures avides, venues d’un autre monde pour arracher des morceaux du no\u0302tre : les croquemitaines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La vie de Lucy bascule quand sa me\u0300re disparai\u0302t myste\u0301rieusement. La jeune orpheline est contrainte de quitter sa campagne et d’aller vivre a\u0300 New York chez sa tante Doris, qui l’oblige a\u0300 voler dans les trains pour payer son “loyer”. Jusqu’au jour ou\u0300 Lucy fait la connaissance de Rita Perdido, une femme entoure\u0301e de secrets, qui lui propose de rejoindre son agence de retrouvage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy de\u0301couvre qu’elle fait partie d’une caste en voie de disparition : les retrouveurs. Depuis la nuit des temps, ces humains ont le pouvoir de pe\u0301ne\u0301trer dans les oubliettes pour en rapporter les objets, les personnes et les souvenirs perdus. Persuade\u0301e que sa me\u0300re a e\u0301te\u0301 enleve\u0301e par un croquemitaine, Lucy se lance a\u0300 sa recherche. Mais ce n’est pas seulement le sort de sa famille qui est en jeu : a\u0300 mesure que s’e\u0301teignent les derniers retrouveurs, les croquemitaines gagnent en puissance et pre\u0301parent leur effroyable revanche contre la surface\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor Dixen, mai\u0302tre de la fantasy, nous entrai\u0302ne dans un re\u0301cit sombre et envou\u0302tant, peuple\u0301 de dangers et de magie, ou\u0300 l’espoir n’est jamais comple\u0300tement perdu…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TED TALKS \/ Chris Anderson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ted Talks Chris Anderson, head of TED, reveals the inside secrets of how to give a first-class presentation.

Anderson shares his five key techniques to presentation success: Connection, Narration, Explanation, Persuasion and Revelation (plus the three to avoid). He also answers the most frequently asked questions about giving a talk, from ‘What should I wear?’ to ‘How do I handle my nerves?’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ted Talks is also full of presentation tips from such TED notable speakers as Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Gates, Mary Roach, Amy Cuddy, Elizabeth Gilbert, Dan Gilbert, Amanda Palmer, Matt Ridley and many more. This is a lively, fun read with great practical application from the man who knows what goes into a truly memorable speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
