The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions--including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons. Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined.

Hver femte ung i 9. klasse har prøvet at skære i sig selv (det vi nu kalder cutting), mens hver fjerde pige i 9. klasse er i risiko for at udvikle en spiseforstyrrelse. Det er alarmerende høje tal og derfor nødvendigt at give disse fænomener eller forstyrrelser opmærksomhed. I Jeg gør mig ondt, når … kommer livseksperterne – dem, der lever med skaderne og forstyrrelserne – selv til orde med forklaringer og anbefalinger. Livseksperternes råd suppleres af fageksperters vejledninger. Hvordan skal vi forstå denne risikoadfærd? Hvordan forebygger vi og støtter? Hvor kan vi finde råd, indsigt og viden? Der er ofte ikke lette svar og løsninger. Denne håndbog er ment som en håndsrækning til både fagpersonale og pårørende – og naturligvis de mennesker, der er bekymret for, om de selv er ved at udvikle en selvskadende adfærd.

Op mod 7 procent af en ungdomsårgang begynder voksen livet uden at være i uddannelse eller have en stabil tilknytning tilarbejdsmarkedet. En stor andel af disse unge vil fortsætte uden arbejde og uddannelse som voksne.Et liv på kanten af samfundet giver først og fremmest en socialt og materielt set fattigere tilværelse for den enkelte. Men deter også forbundet med store økonomiske omkostninger for fællesskabet i form af tabte skatteindtægter og øgede udgiftertil overførselsindkomster. Udsatte unge er derfor en af de helt store udfordringer for et socialt og økonomisk bæredygtigt velfærdssamfund.ROCKWOOL Fonden styrker gennem forskning og sociale interventioner vores viden om de udsatte unge. Det sker bl.a. gennemanalyser af deres baggrund og livssituation, hvilket netop er temaet i denne anden udgivelse på Gyldendal med en lettilgængelig præsentation af den løbende forskning i emnet.I bogen analyseres betydningen af sociale begivenheder fx i form af forældres skilsmisse eller af et liv i en familie med lavindkomst for den senere eksponering for udsathed. Måske er indretningen af arbejdsmarkedet et problem i sig selv, hvilkettages op i bogen. Andre kapitler analyserer, hvem de udsatte unge konkurrerer med på arbejdsmarkedet, og hvilken økonomiskgevinst, de unge kan se frem til, hvis de tager en uddannelse.

”Bidrag til Danmarks indvandringshistorie” er en beretning om de sidste 50 års indvandringshistorie, sådan som forfatteren Ole Hammer selv har oplevet den og været en aktiv del af – som journalist, debattør og foredragsholder, som ansat i centrale funktioner og som samarbejdspartner for myndigheder, faglige og humanitære organisationer samt indvandrerorganisationer.Bogen er fyldt med historisk dokumentation, analyser, citater, eksempler og referencer. Den rummer erfaringer, viden og visioner, som læseren forhåbentligt vil reflektere over. Bogen er derfor et vigtigt bidrag til vores forståelse af det multikulturelle samfund og arbejdet med en positiv integration af indvandrere og flygtninge.

God læselyst!«(9/10 stjerner) – bookeater.dk»Martin Petersen er en god researcher. Han har rejst på de lokaliteter, som sætter aftryk i de to bøger. Han kender til udnyttelse, ydmygelse og prostitution.«– Steffen Larsen, Politiken, 15. november 2015»Ligesom i Exit Sugartown er forfatteren god til at beskrive sted, miljø og personer.«– Lektør, uge 47, 2015»En av årets mest läsvärda ungdomsromaner är ”I skyggezonen” «– Arne Toftegaard Pedersen, Svenska Dagbladet, 15. december 2015»Det er en utrolig velfortalt roman – til Young Adult-gruppen – som i den grad sender et vigtigt budskab og signal om den verden, som lige nu brutalt folder sig ud udenfor vore døre […] Fin læsning og brugbar i mange sammenhænge. Stor anbefaling! «– Kent Poulsen, Børn & Bøger

What happens to the child left behind? Jubair's family is stuck in Myanmar, until his mother escapes-with three out of four children. On the cusp of adolescence, the young boy-interned to a farmer-is filled with rage. Jubair is left to sleep in the woods and fend for himself. He does not know how to read and write, so why does his mother even bother smuggling in these letters? Jubair begins to express this anger in his own letters, as he develops a level of literacy, eventually becoming a reader and writer. An epistolary novel, Why No Goodbye? explores loss, grief and transcendence.BlurbsAt times heartbreaking, at times shatteringly beautiful.… The rawness of Jabair's anger is all-encompassing and powerful.… Amid this pain are startling moments of joy and empathy. A beautiful meditation on forgiveness after great loss, and the unbearable pain of separation."-Marie-Helene Bertino, author of 2 A.M. at the Cat's PajamasBased on true events, Pamela L. Laskin captures the anguished survival of a 13-year-old boy after he is abandoned by his refugee family in war-torn Myanmar.… In breathtaking free verse, Laskin explores the heart of this uneducated, desperate man-child as he struggles with feelings of betrayal and rage, all while experiencing the aching confusion of new love. Informed by her own daughter's on-location aid work with refugees from Myanmar, Laskin goes beyond the headlines to create a stunningly poignant tale of grief, struggle, and emotional redemption.-Suzanne Weyn, author of The Bar Code Tattoo trilogyLaskin bravely and movingly tackles one of our decade's saddest and direst human rights crises. The protagonist of Why No Goodbye? must contend with a double loss: his family and his land.

This is an extraordinary accomplishment.-Hasanthika Sirisena, author of The Other One, winner of The Juniper Prize for FictionThere has been a lot written about the Rohingya crisis in recent years, but nothing quite like this. Why No Goodbye? is unique in form and heart-wrenching in content. Through verse, the author helps expose the painful wake of the world's newest genocide.-Matthew Smith, co-founder and CEO, Fortify Rights
