Paperback. Condizione: Good. An entitled boy whose talents are bought meets a girl whose gifts are natural in this futuristic thriller from H.A. Swain, the author of Hungry. In Orpheus Chanson's world, geniuses and prodigies are no longer born or honed through hard work. Instead, procedures to induce Acquired Savant Abilities (ASAs) are now purchased by the privileged. And Orpheus's father holds the copyright to the ASA procedure. Zimri Robinson, a natural musical prodigy, is a"plebe"--a worker at the enormous warehouse that supplies an on-line marketplace that has supplanted all commerce. However, her grueling schedule and her grandmother's illness can't keep her from making music--even if it is illegal. Orpheus and Zimri are not supposed to meet. He is meant for greatness; she is not. But sometimes, rules are meant to be broken. Gifted by H.A. Swain is a thriller, love story, and social experiment that readers will find gripping--and terrifying. Praise for Hungry by H. A. Swain: "Swain's near-futuristic dystopia explodes onto this well-trod genre with a fresh idea, tense plotting, and relatable characters. Fans of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Lois Lowry's The Giver will flock to this story." --School Library Journal "Compelling. A female protagonist who isn't staunch, heroic, and perfect is increasingly rare in dystopias, so Thalia's fumbling around for the right path is refreshingly different." --The Bulletin "An alluring adventure in a future without food. Emotionally satisfying." --Kirkus Reviews.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A jargon-free manual on the basics of developing interesting fictional charactersVibrant, believable characters help drive a fictional story. Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along.""The core of character,"" he says in chapter 1, ""lies in each individual story person's ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important."" Building on that foundation - the capacity to care - Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing ""characters who turn you on."" This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.…

Condizione: Fair. When Tony Valentine, a master at catching casino cheaters, jets to Las Vegas to look for his missing son, he lands in the middle of a dangerous turf war between rival casinos.
