Los vampiros y lobisones de Chernóbil
by Vianka Van Bokkem Melody BlancoLa radiación no afecta a los vampiros y a los lobisones. Por eso, un aquelarre británico y un clan ruso viven en Chernóbil. Mis hermanas Kassia y Maddy y yo pertenecemos a ambos. Luego de un accidente nuclear sucedido el 26 de abril de 1986, nuestro hogar sigue siendo uno de los lugares más contaminados del mundo. El bosque rojo ubicado en el área de 10 kilómetros (6,2 millas) alrededor de la planta de energía nuclear es conocido como «Reserva radiológica» y ahora alberga a animales como alces, jabalíes y linces. La mayoría de las veces cazamos allí. Mi padre era un vampiro atractivo con una preferencia por las lobisonas. Como resultado, mis hermanas y yo somos «híbridas» porque somos mitad vampiras, mitad lobisonas. Su nombre era Dimitry Belenko. Tenemos distintas madres.

Los viajes de Gulliver
by Jonathan SwiftLos liliputienses, los reyes de Brobdingnag, los houyhnhms y los yahoos forman ya parte de la galería de grandes personajes literarios que nos acompañarán a lo largo de toda nuestra vida y de quienes hemos aprendido mucho acerca de las virtudes y defectos de la especie humana. Sin embargo, zambullirse en las páginas de Los viajes de Gulliver es emprender una aventura fascinante, compartir el riesgo, los descubrimientos y las sorpresas que el capitán Gulliver halla en su azaroso camino... el placer de la lectura intensa y divertida. Quizás sea por ello que los niños, cuando llegan a Liliput por primera vez, lo hacen con los ojos limpios y brillantes; pero cuando ya adultos viajan de nuevo a esa isla, descubren paisajes menos luminosos que les pasaron desapercibidos en su primera visita. En parte sátira demoledora, en parte relato fantástico, Los viajes de Gulliver se ha convertido por derecho propio en uno de los clásicos universales más leídos.
Los viajes de Gulliver
by Jonathan SwiftLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «La imaginación no puede concebir nada tan grande, sorprendente y asombroso.» Los viajes de Gulliver fue publicada por primera vez en 1726, y tres siglos después mantiene toda su vigencia. Esta célebre novela satírica es a la vez un relato de aventuras y una artera reflexión filosófica sobre la constitución de las sociedades modernas. Los encuentros del naufragante Lemuel Gulliver con los minúsculos liliputienses, los gigantes de Brobdingnag, los filosóficos houyhnhnms y los brutos yahoos harán que el protagonista, como el lector, abra los ojos a la cruda y verdadera naturaleza humana. Robert DeMaria, Jr., reconocido especialista en literatura inglesa de los siglos XVII y XVIII, firma la introducción que abre el volumen y da paso a una de las más prestigiosas versiones a nuestro idioma de este clásico de las letras universales, firmada por el catedrático Pedro Guardia Massó.

Los visitantes (Agencia Lockwood #1)
by Jonathan StroudLucy, George y Anthony forman la Agencia Lockwood. Su misión: nada menos que hacer frente a una epidemia de fantasmas que están sembrando el pánico en Inglaterra Desde que se desató «el Problema» las Islas Británicas han sido poco a poco invadidas por los Visitantes, es decir, fantasmas, espectros y demás manifestaciones del otro mundo. Aunque solo se manifiestan de noche y son totalmente imperceptibles para los adultos, pueden llegar a ser peligrosos de verdad. Las Agencias de Investigación y Control Psíquico son las encargadas de luchar contra estas inquietantes presencias. La agencia Lockwood & Co. es de lo más peculiar: no es una de esas agencias súper modernas con sede en el centro de Londres, sino más bien de las pequeñas y destartaladas. Sus únicos integrantes son la intrépida agente Lucy Carlyle, que tiene el don de detectar espectros; Anthony Lockwood, el carismático propietario de la agencia; y George..., bueno, George es George. Los tres chicos tienen talento y están preparados para enfrentar cualquier desafío y resolver todos los misterios. Y, aunque tienen sus diferencias, están de acuerdo en lo más importante: los adultos son un estorbo y van a tener que resolver su misión sin su ayuda. Aunque no va a ser nada fácil porque, en asuntos de fantasmas, ¿quién puede estar seguro del todo? Rick Riordan, eminencia en el género, ha dicho... «Esta novela te mantendrá leyendo hasta bien entrada la noche, y luego querrás dejar las luces encendidas... ¡Añade Los Visitantes a tu lista de libros que hay que leer!» Y la prensa afirma... «El queridísimo autor de la trilogía «Bartimeo» regresa con una serie nueva de cazafantasmas adolescente. No va a decepcionar a los fans; pues encontrarán fantasmas feroces, giros ingeniosos y unos protagonistas estupendos.» The Bookseller

by Zach HunterYou don’t love a mocha the same way that you love Jesus. As a teen today, you probably have plenty of interests and plenty to plug into. In the midst of the constant stimulus—activities, media, text messages, and social networking—activist and fellow teenager Zach Hunter asks: What consumes the bulk of your time? How do you zero in on what really matters? Zach wrote this book to share powerful inspiration from the lives of others and to promote his steadfast belief that his generation is capable of great things—actions that may require shedding conventional notions of what is cool and important—and of choices that can heat up, ignite, and stoke the flames of a deeper passion, the kind of passion that changes the world. Are you ready to lose your cool?
