8. Stargate
From acclaimed Canadian author Pauline Gedge, Stargate is a bold and mythological fantasy that reimagines the Fall of Man on a cosmic scale.
At the dawn of a new universe, powerful sun-lords are drawn to the forbidden knowledge of the Worldmaker. One by one, they fall from grace and their realms are sealed off. With hope fading, a final chance remains: they must give up their immortality, embrace mortality, and face the Worldmaker’s judgment to save what remains of their worlds.
Praised for its originality and vivid world-building, Stargate has been called “a remarkable and potent piece of myth-making” (Mary Renault) and “a grand retelling” of timeless themes (The Globe and Mail). Gedge creates immersive, imaginative realms that feel strikingly real—from the mountains of Ghaka to the twilight of dying empires.
Matthew Flinders' Cat is the story of a drunk, a boy, and a cat—woven into one of Bryce Courtenay’s most thoughtful and touching novels.
Once a successful barrister, Billy O’Shannessy now sleeps rough outside the State Library in Sydney, overlooked by the bronze statue of Matthew Flinders’ cat, Trim. When he meets Ryan, a bright but troubled 10-year-old on the edge of falling through the cracks, the two strike up an unlikely friendship.
Billy draws Ryan in with tales of Australia’s circumnavigation, told through the eyes of the legendary ship’s cat. But their connection becomes more than just stories—as they both begin a mutual process of redemption that touches on the criminal underworld, political corruption, and the human cost of a city that too easily forgets its vulnerable.
This novel blends modern-day urban hardship with glimpses of colonial history, told in Courtenay’s signature heartfelt and unflinching style.

13. GRETZKY. AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
For the first time, Wayne Gretzky tells his story — with honesty, wit, and the easy charm that made him a legend on and off the ice.
In Gretzky: An Autobiography, The Great One opens up about his rise from a skinny kid with a stick to the greatest scorer in NHL history. From breaking Gordie Howe’s record in just ten seasons, to his blockbuster trade to the L.A. Kings, to his iconic Stanley Cup moments — it’s all here, in his own words.
But Gretzky also goes deeper: reflecting on the values his family taught him, the isolation of early fame, his relationship with Edmonton coach Glen Sather, and how his father helped transform natural talent into greatness.
Co-written with Sports Illustrated’s Rick Reilly, this is a candid, funny, and surprisingly personal look into the life of a Canadian sports icon — written for fans who’ve followed him for decades, and for those just learning what made him “The Great One.”

In The Lost Boys of Montauk, journalist Amanda M. Fairbanks goes beyond the headlines, telling the deeply human story of the men aboard, the families they left behind, and a community shaped by both privilege and tragedy. Through interviews, research, and a journalist’s eye for detail, Fairbanks brings to life a story of class divide, grief, and the unforgiving power of the sea.

But with power comes peril, and Saul’s rising magic draws the wrath of Queen Suettay, a cruel sorceress determined to corrupt or destroy him.
Fortunately, Saul isn’t alone. With a ragtag group that includes Gruesome the troll, the faithful Squire Gilbert, a guardian angel, and the ethereal Angelique, Saul begins a quest that will test his heart, his magic, and his rhyming skills. To defeat Suettay, he’ll need help from the mysterious Spider King—and more courage than he ever thought he had.
