| A man finds himself the unwitting companion of a talking cat. . . Lucky Lee has everythingâ wealth, charm, money, good looksâ and does very, very little with it. Heâ s content. Heâ s happy. He takes for granted that life is good and always will be. But then his sister, the go-getting, successful, famous TV chef Pearl Lee, dies, horribly and suddenly. Lucky is devastated. As he struggles to live without the big sister whoâ s always been the dominant, often relentless force in his life, the inconceivable happensâ her cat begins to talk to him. It wants to know where Pearl is. It questions his eating habits, his outfit choices, his life. It hogs the TV. It tells him stories. Now grief-stricken Lucky has a major problem: he may very well be mad. |

| Title: Harmony Heights |
| By (author): Ong Chin Huat |
| ISBN10-13: 9815144510 : 9789815144512 |
| Blowing the lid off contemporary social mores with a peek behind the closed doors of middle-class Malaysians Harmony Heights is anything but harmonious. In this nineties-style block of condominium located in a forgotten part of town resides a microcosm of bourgeois Malaysian society. From retired judges and doctors to CEOs and homemakers with side hustles, the residents in this apartment building pride themselves on being model citizens. But beneath the veneer of civility and respectability, lies a hotbed of secrets and skeletons that reveal the true nature of these residents. How will they respond to the trials and tribulations that life throws at them? Will they manage to keep up appearances when their private affairs and exploits are exposed? Harmony Heights is a peephole, allowing you to look in, to watch the unfolding lives of cheating husbands, ambitious women, unconventional families, and witness explosive (literally) situations. If you look close enough, you might just see someone you know. Are you ready to keep a secret? |

Finely textured, humane and deeply relevant, these stories of love, loss, and the politics of identity, race, and belonging, challenge comfortable conventions about ourselves
Deeply humane, in turn wry and humorous, the stories in this collection haunt readers with their searing honesty. A woman, deeply in love with her husband, discovers to her anguish that the love of a good man is not enough. A little boy tries hard to hold his family together as his parentsâ marriage disintegrates before his eyes. A mother has a poignant yet brutal conversation with God about her severely disabled son. Three young people idealistically reject racial prejudice and stereotyping, only to find that in Malaysia, their future paths are largely determined by ethnicity and privilege. The extent to which a woman will go in her hatred for her daughterâ s childhood friend, ends in a violent aftermath.
Meet the extraordinary in ordinary people when they confront the truth of their past and presentâ and refuse to look away. Authentic and unsentimental, each story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit even as it challenges comfortable conventions about identity, love, family, community, race relations |

| Title: No Room in Neverland |
| By (author): Joyce Chua |
| ISBN10-13: 9815127780 : 9789815127782 |
| How far would you go to visit that place in your head? All Gemma Young remembers of her childhood are her regular visits to the idyllic, imaginary Neverland before her mother fell sick. When Gemma meets Cole, a disenchanted boy who stirs up more than just memories of her adventures in Neverland, she begins to piece together her half forgotten childhood: her mother sick with longing for Neverland, the accident that ripped her family apart, and her father who abandoned her when she was a child. But now, Gemmaâ s near-obsessive quest to find her father sends her spiralling deeper into Neverland just like her mother had. As the boundaries blur between the real world and Neverland, Gemma must sift through fact and fiction, discern between truth and make-believe, to find out what happened to her mother and rebuild a new life with her father. |

| When the prophesied hero dies one day before the world needs saving, 13 year-old Julian Kee is randomly chosen as a last-minute replacement. With absolutely no world-saving skills whatsoever, he must nonetheless lead his friends into the Underworld to retrieve a magical rock that can save their world. The problem is that the ruling council of the Underworld objects to their quest, and the rock can only be obtained by passing through a series of terrible trials, including navigating an unsolvable maze, enduring unspeakable tortures in the dungeons of the councilâ s citadel, and facing a really cute bunny. And is the Underworlder who cheerfully volunteers to risk her life to help them simply a girl with a very kind, selfless heart, or is she really a spy for the council? A fast-paced adventure filled with lots of exciting twists and turns, this hilarious spoof of adventure/hero stories will be enjoyed by both the young and the not-so-young! |
