El pez número catorce
by Jennifer L. HolmCon una buena dosis de humor, en El pez número catorce propone a sus lectores observar con atención, desconfiar de las apariencias y, por encima de todo, reflexionar sobre si lo posible es siempre lo más deseable. A Ellie no le gustan nada los cambios. Echa de menos la escuela primaria, a su mejor amiga Brianna e incluso a Nemo, el pez que había sido su mascota durante años. Un día, su madre, que es profesora de teatro en el instituto, llega a casa con un chico muy raro. Viste como un adulto y se comporta como un gruñón y un cascarrabias. Pero lo más llamativo es que, por increíble que parezca, se asemeja mucho a Melvin Sagarsky, el abuelo de Ellie, un científico que ha dedicado todo su esfuerzo a estudiar el envejecimiento humano. ¿No será que ese adolescente desgarbado es en realidad el abuelo Melvin? ¿Es posible que haya descubierto el secreto de la juventud eterna? Ganadora de tres Menciones de Honor Newbery, Jennifer L. Holm invita a los niños a asomarse al mundo de la ciencia de forma amena y accesible.

Petty Magic: Being the Memoirs and Confessions of Miss Evelyn Harbinger, Temptress and Troublemaker
by Camille DeangelisEvelyn Harbinger is a heck of a lot older than she looks. At 149 years of age, Eve can still iron out the wrinkles on a Saturday night, turning heads and taking more than phone numbers as the foxy, dark-haired girl she used to be. She and her sisters have spent the better part of their lives using their powers for only the highest good--Eve herself spied for the Allies in Paris and Berlin--but in their golden years, the beldames are free to enjoy themselves however they please. When Eve meets Justin at her favorite curiosity shop, though, her games are over. Justin looks and acts uncannily like Jonah, her partner on the most dangerous mission of her career--and the great love of her life. Experts in espionage, Eve and Jonah gave up their one chance at happiness to advance the Allied cause, and no man has measured up ever since. Justin is unsuspecting but equally smitten, and Eve is much too headstrong to listen to the common-sense warnings of her coven. Meanwhile, another beldame has accused Eve's sister Helena of killing her own husband sixty years before, and Eve, disguised as her younger self, spends more and more time with Justin to take her mind off the growing pile of evidence that suggests her sister isn't the pure-hearted matriarch she appears to be. Eve knows her family has every reason to disapprove and that falling in love with an ordinary man can only end in despair, but she can't give up the boy who might be Jonah--because this time, she just might be able to keep him. A delightfully romantic adventure set between a supernatural version of present-day New York City and the epic backdrop of World War II, Petty Magic proves that the real fun starts when beldames and mortal men dare to fall in love.

Ten years after the deadly virus nicknamed Henny Penny, the world has largely recovered — there’s an interim government as well as law and order, and life is returning to normal for the greatly reduced population.

On top of this, people who haven’t been touched in years are going crazy from skin hunger.Lily has lived in fearful isolation for ten years, afraid to rejoin the world. But a return-to-work order and an invitation to go to a petting zoo — a highly illegal club where people go to touch and be touched — start to bring her back to life.A post-apocalyptic sex adventure and a woman’s journey of self-discovery, The Petting Zoos is an erotic love story for an age of extreme caution, in which the value of safety itself is questioned.

Petronella & The Trogot (Petronella Ser. #1)
by Cheryl BentleyPetronella moves to Charis Cottage hidden in the thick dark woods at the bottom of a track on the outskirts of Fort Willow. Everything is perfect. Except for one thing. Since she moved an enormous black tree has appeared in her back garden in the shape of a giant with a big black circle on the ground under it. Petronella finds out it is a deep pit and is terrified to go near its ridge. But one night...How is the tree linked to:- The creepy night-time visits by the Hooded Horseman?- The boy ghost, Percy, Petronella finds in her bed one night?- The invasion of ghosts of the ancient Strincas population all over Fort Willow?Reviews"Kids will like this. Girls will like it for romance and boys will like it for the scare factor.""Full of ghosts and ghoulies, this is an imaginative tale."“This was presented as a supernatural chiller and I must admit…it was a fantastic and unique read for MG and YA readers. I do think that the author showed wonderful imagination in creating this world and these characters.”“Petronella & the Trogot is introduced as a supernatural chiller. People who lived almost 1,200 years ago, members of the Strincas civilization, start appearing and living in modern day Fort Willow. Needless to say the Strincas resurrection scares (off) many modern day citizens. If that were not enough, Bentley adds a hooded horseman (think Legend of Sleepy Hollow) and a black, evil monster tree in Petronella’s back yard.In Part 1 one you get to know Petronella ‒ our protagonist, modern day Fort Willow inhabitants, the Strincas, and the evil Lord Fortesque. In Part 2 Petronella and Percy, a Strinca, investigate the tree and find themselves on a journey. Their journey is similar to Dante’s Inferno with a modern twist... In Petronella & the Trogot, you know who all the offenders are. I enjoyed reading the novel.”

Delightful book. Well recommended. Lorraine Baker, Bookseller, Wales"... a great book for reluctant readers ... A good fantasy read with good vs. evil" Ann Klausing, Books-a-Million"There are three witches, a hidden school and a lot of evil in this story. You'll meet characters that will surprise you and the ending is great. Ms. Bentley does not write boring books. I can see a young one reading this book more than once. Maybe they can even write a story of their own..." Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie“What happens next? You’ll have to jump on this fast moving fairy tale thriller to find out!” Bill Baker, Maine, USA. “When I finished reading Petronella and the Janjilons, the first thing that came into my mind was, ‘I need to read more Nancy Drew.’ I kind of felt that it’s somehow like Nancy Drew.“Its contents are really action-packed. The writing is really alive and the author somehow connected with me through her writing.”Teenage reviewer, Philippines The bookThe Janjilons are not what they seem.

Petit Diamant, le dragon, la Vallée des Rubis
by Valerie Pike Agnes RuizIl y avait le souffle d’un dragon, au sommet d’une Montagne Solitaire. C’était un jeune dragon appelé Petit Diamant. C’était le seul dragon au monde capable de produire des rubis à partir de ses écailles. Chaque fois qu’il faisait ses écailles rouges ou quand il pleurait, des rubis tombaient sur le sol. Petit Diamant devait préserver son trésor de rubis des dragons envieux, ce qui l’obligeait à rester dans sa grotte. Il avait des pointes toxiques indigo sur sa queue. Une fois par an, sa mère, Queue Noire, revenait de Lapen pour prendre les rubis qui remplissaient la grotte de Petit Diamant pour les mettre en sécurité dans la Vallée des Rubis. La Vallée était une zone de terre basse entre les montagnes. Lapen, niché parmi les plus hautes montagnes du monde, était le lieu de naissance de Petit Diamant. C’est là que vivait la famille de sa mère. Queue Noire effaçait les traces derrière elle lorsqu’elle volait haut vers le repaire caché de Petit Diamant. Les rubis brillaient d’une teinte rouge vif qui pouvait être vue de très loin. Petit Diamant savait que sa mère viendrait les chercher. Elle n’était pas venue la semaine précédente. La princesse Pénélope pourrait trouver des gemmes rouges au bas de la Montagne Solitaire. Elle devait bientôt se marier au prince Valentin. Le grand mariage du courageux Valentin et de la belle Pénélope se dérouleraient plus tard ce jour-là et Petit Diamant voulait y assister avec sa mère. De son repaire près d’un volcan inactif, Furie, la collectionneuse d’or repéra la lueur des rubis. Furie était une dragonne avide qui convoitait les bijoux précieux et les objets brillants par-dessus tout. Son lit était fait d’or et de trésors qu’elle avait volés. Elle reposait sur d’innombrables pièces d’or. Elle avait des ailes de chauve-souris pleine d’écailles vert forêt et des griffes puissantes. Sa longue queue se terminait par une

Peter y Wendy: Edicion Del Centenario (Coleccion Cuentos Universales)
by J. M. BarrieLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «Todos los niños crecen, menos uno.» Poco imaginaba J.M. Barrie cuando escribió la obra de teatro Peter Pan que un siglo más tarde el mito del niño que no quería crecer seguiría cautivando a jóvenes y mayores por igual. Publicada años más tarde como novela bajo el título de Peter y Wendy, su universo es omnipresente en el imaginario colectivo. Barrie apela a nuestros sueños de infancia con una dulzura y un genio imaginativo capaces de llevarnos de la risa al llanto en pocas páginas. La vida del autor, marcada por la muerte de su hermano, está presente en todo momento. Él mismo confesaría que su más profundo deseo hubiera sido recuperar los años felices de su infancia, y que su más célebre personaje era una personificación de tales anhelos. Esta cuidada edición introducida y anotada por Silvia Herreros de Tejada, especialista en J.M. Barrie, es la mejor oportunidad para dejarse llevar por la fantasía del país de Nunca Jamás.
