HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away. The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.' In 'The Happy Prince' a statue - jewelled and opulent - keeps careful watch over the city and its inhabitants. Enlisting the help of a swallow, his selfless acts bring comfort to those most in need. 'The Nightingale and the Rose' is a tragic tale of personal sacrifice in the name of love, while in 'The Selfish Giant' the end of an eternal winter finally brings springtime and happiness. In this collection of enchanting tales from a master storyteller, Oscar Wilde has entranced readers both young and old since publication in the late nineteenth century.

La 4ème de couv. indique : "And Clay looked back, one last time, before diving - in, and outwards - to a bridge, through a past, to a father. He swam the gold-lit water."

In the final novel of the acclaimed Wolfe Brothers Trilogy, Cameron Wolfe goes looking for love as he attempts to escape his brother’s shadow. Cameron Wolfe is a loser. He knows it. He’s the quiet one, not a soccer star like his brother Steve or a charming fighter with a new girl every week like his brother Rube. Cam would give anything to be near one of those girls, to love her and treat her right. He especially likes Rube’s latest, Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and bright green eyes. But what woman like that would want a loser like him? Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers. Maybe he has talents and passions just waiting to be discovered. And those maybes are about to change everything: winning, loving, losing, the Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.

My name's Cameron Wolfe. I have a bit of sense. I don't have much sense. My older brother Ruben gets me in plenty of trouble. I get Rube into trouble as he gets me into. I have family, yes, that doesn't really function without tomato sauce. That's me. Cameron and Ruben are mostly throwing one-handed boxing matches and plotting to rob local dentists. But what Cameron wants is to meet a real girl, not like the ones in magazines. But who could ever love an underdog like Cameron Wolfe?

Das Buch eignet sich hervorragend für den Unterricht, aufgrund des Umfangs benötigen die Schülerinnen und Schüler aber klare Strukturierungshilfen. Sie erfassen die Handlung zunächst mithilfe eines Lesetagebuchs, ehe der Inhalt vertieft und mit dem historischen Kontext (Ideologie der NSDAP, Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkrieges, Beginn der systematischen Judenverfolgung) verbunden wird. Abschließend rücken einzelne Aspekte wie die Erzählperspektive, die Bedeutung der Bücher für Liesel oder die unterschiedliche Haltung der Mitmenschen in der Zeit des Krieges in den Fokus. Der Roman wurde 2009 mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis ausgezeichnet, 2013 mit hochkarätiger internationaler Besetzung verfilmt.
