O`Connell David The Smidgens
Gafferty Sprout is a Smidgen. A Smidgen looks like a human, sounds like a human, and loves chips with curry sauce like a human – if humans were three inches tall. If you took a human and shrunk it in the washing machine on a very hot spin cycle, you might get something like a Smidgen. Generations ago there were lots of them, living in a maze of tunnels beneath the human village of Dundoodle. But then something happened and they just … disappeared. Now Gafferty, her parents and her little brothers Gobkin and Grub are the only ones left, and the tunnels are forbidden territory. And then Gafferty finds an old map. A map that shows a place deep within the maze where Smidgen tribes can go to meet. Smidgen tribes! Gafferty knows that she has to try to find them. But the tunnels are dangerous. And soon Gafferty discovers she's not the only one looking for the lost tribes, and that three inches of Smidgen hold more power than she ever imagined. The first book in a funny, magical adventures series for 7+ readers who love Terry Pratchett, Max and the Millions and The Borrowers.

Ham Paul Passchendaele. The Bloody Battle That Nearly Lost The Allies The War
One hundred years on... On 18 July 1917, a heavy artillery barrage was unleashed by the Allied forces against an entrenched German army outside the town of Ypres. it was to be the opening salvo of one of the most ferociously fought and debilitating encounters of the First World War. Few battles would encapsulate the utter futility of the war better that what became known as the Battle of Passchendaele. By the time the British and Canadian forces finally captured Passchendaele village on 6 November, the Allies had suffered over 271,000 casualties and the German army over 217,000. Passchendaele: Requiem for Doomed Youth shows how ordinary men on both sides endured this constant state of siege, with a very real awareness that they were being gradually, deliberately felled. Here, Paul Ham tells the story of an army caught in the grip of an extraordinary power struggle – both global and national. As Prime Minister Lloyd George and Commander Haig’s relationship deteriorated beyond repair, so a terrible battle of attrition was needlessly and painfully prolonged. Ham lays down a powerful challenge to the ways in which we have previously seen this monumental battle. Through an examination of the culpability of governments and military commanders in a catastrophe that destroyed the best part of a generation, Paul Ham argues that Passchendaele, far from being a breakthrough moment, was the battle that nearly lost the Allies the war.

O`Connell Pia Todliches Dublin
Wohlfuhlen pur: Irland und Cosy-Crime, eine unwiderstehliche Mischung, die Lust auf einen gemutlichen Lesenachmittag macht. Fur alle Leser:innen von Patricia Gibney, Molly Flanaghan und Tana French „Alle wussten, was in diesen Waisenhausern los war. Sie wussten genug, um ihren Kindern damit zu drohen: ›Wenn du nicht brav bist, kommst du nach …‹ Sie wussten genug, um wegzusehen.“ Auswanderin Elli O’Shea scheint vom Pech verfolgt zu werden. Gerade hat sie sich mit einer Detektei selbststandig gemacht, da muss das Haus ihrer Familie in Abbey View kernsaniert werden. Unterschlupf finden sie in Sandycove bei einer entfernten Tante. Es trifft sich gut, dass Elli im Auftrag einer gro?en Versicherung die auffallig hohen Schadensfalle einer privaten Kindergartenkette in Dublin untersuchen soll. Sie fangt an, undercover in einer der Einrichtungen zu arbeiten. Dabei stolpert sie uber die Kita-Leiterin, die tot hinter ihrem Schreibtisch liegt. Offenbar wurde sie erschlagen. Doch wer hatte ein Motiv? Und was haben die Vorgange in einem Kinderheim vor 60 Jahren mit dem Fall zu tun?
