Mari and the Curse of El Cocodrilo
by Adrianna CuevasFrom Pura Belpré Honor–winning author Adrianna Cuevas comes Mari and the Curse of El Cocodrilo, a new middle grade novel about a young Cuban American girl who must fight to break a curse of bad luck set upon her by El Cocodrilo when she rejects her family’s traditions.If Mari Feijoo could, she would turn her family’s Peak Cubanity down a notch, just enough so that her snooping neighbor and classmate Mykenzye wouldn’t have anything to tease her about. That’s why this year, there’s no way that Mari’s joining in on one of the big-gest Feijoo family traditions—burning the New Year’s Eve effigy her abuela makes.Only Mari never suspects that failing to toss her effigy in the fire would bring something much worse than sneering words at school: a curse of bad luck from El Cocodrilo. At first, it’s just possessed violins and grade sabotaging pencils, but once El Cocodrilo learns that he becomes more powerful with each new misery, her luck goes from bad to nightmarish as the curse spreads to her friend Keisha.Instead of focusing on Mari’s mariachi band tryout and Keisha’s fencing tournament, the pair, along with their friend Juan Carlos, are racing against the clock to break the curse. But when Mari discovers her family’s gift to call upon their ancestors, she and her friends will have to find a way to work with the unexpected help that arrives from the far corners of Mari’s family tree. Only will it be enough to defeat El Cocodrilo before he makes their last year of elementary school the worst ever and tears their friendship apart?
Mareas de Medianoche (Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos #Volumen 5)
by Steven EriksonMareas de Medianoche es el quinto volumen de la saga «Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos», la decalogía originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011 que ha convertido al escritor canadiense Steven Erikson en una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea. Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas del género de los últimos años. Después de décadas de guerras intestinas, las tribus de los Tiste Edur al fin se han unido bajo el mando del Rey Warlock. Hay paz, pero el precio ha sido terrible: un pacto hecho con un poder oculto cuyos motivos son, en el mejor de los casos, sospechosos, y, en el peor, mortales. Al sur, el rapaz reino de Lether, impaciente por ver cumplido el papel que profetizaron para él largo tiempo atrás como imperio renacido, ha esclavizado a sus vecinos menos civilizados. Es decir, a todos salvo a los Tiste Edur. El destino ha decretado que también ellos han de caer. Y, sin embargo, la lucha inminente que librarán estos dos pueblos no es más que un pálido reflejo de un conflicto más primitivo. Se están reuniendo antiguas fuerzas y con ellas la herida todavía abierta de una vieja traición y un ansia de venganza... La crítica ha dicho...«Homérico en alcance y visión... Una historia que ni por un instante deja de emocionar y entretener.»SF Site «Erikson se encuentra en lo más alto del panteón de la fantasía épica.»Publishers Weekly «Erikson no tiene competidor en lo que se refiere a acción e imaginación, y alcanza la categoría de Tolkien y Donaldson en su visión mítica, incluso podría superarlos.»SF Site

La marcha zombi
by Max BrooksMax Brooks vuelve a sorprendernos con cuatro visiones del universo zombi: cuatro relatos terroríficos sobre el colapso de la civilización. En «El desfile hacia la extinción», vemos la guerra entre zombis y humanos a través de los ojos de un vampiro preocupado, por primera vez, por el futuro. China muestra todo su poderío en «La Gran Muralla», donde la invasión zombi se combate con trabajos forzados en una extraña construcción. «Steve y Fred» es un relato de doble filo que desafía las fronteras entre realidad y ficción, entre el arquetipo y la víscera. El colofón del libro, «Punto final, S. A.», nos presenta a un terapeuta danés que, tras la plaga, pone en marcha un peculiar tratamiento para supervivientes con familiares infectados. Reseña:«Brooks se toma en serio a los zombis del mismo modo que McCarthy se tomó en serio el fin del mundo apocalíptico en La carretera.»www.papelenblanco.com
