Radioactive - Los Expulsados: Los Expulsados
by Maya ShepherdTras la Tercera Guerra Mundial la Tierra es un campo de batalla. Los últimos supervivientes han creado barricadas en zonas de seguridad para protegerse de la radiación radioactiva. Sobrevivir solo es posible bajo reglas y normas muy estrictas. No hay ni propiedades ni voluntad propia. En este mundo no hay lugar para los sentimientos. La gente solo vive para funcionar, por ello tienen números en lugar de nombres. D518 es una de ellos. Nacida en este mundo destrozado, nunca ha conocido nada más que esta vida determinada por el control. Esto cambia radicalmente cuando la secuestran unos enemigos de la legión. Todo en lo que había creído hasta ahora resulta ser una mentira.
Radioactive - Gli espulsi
by Maya Shepherd Elisabetta De MartinoDopo la terza guerra mondiale la Terra è un campo di macerie. Gli ultimi sopravvissuti si sono barricati in zone di sicurezza per proteggersi dalle radiazioni. La sopravvivenza necessita di regole e leggi molto rigide. Non esiste né proprietà, né libero arbitrio, sono i capi della legione a prendere tutte le decisioni. In questo mondo non c'è spazio per i sentimenti. Le persone funzionano più che vivere, per questo sono identificate da codici anziché nomi. D518 è una di loro. Nata in questo mondo in rovina, non ha mai conosciuto nulla di diverso. La sua vita cambia bruscamente quando viene rapita dagli oppositori del regime. Tutto ciò in cui ha sempre creduto si rivela una menzogna.

Rafaela
by Mariana Furiasse¿Cuánto pesan las miradas ajenas? ¿Cómo enfrentar el mundo cuando nos sentimos, o nos hacen sentir, invisibles? En esta nueva edición, Mariana Furiasse seguirá conmoviendo a lectoras y lectores, y poniendo palabras a tantas situaciones que, aún hoy, nos interpelan. Me llamo Rafaela Rivera y tengo 16 años. No me veo redonda, pero estoy lejos de tener el cuerpo que muchos esperan. Me harté de escuchar el típico "tenés una cara preciosa" mientras piensan "lástima el cuerpo". Incluso mi mamá suele recordarme lo distinta que debería ser. Por suerte nuestra casa también es mi refugio, me encanta cocinar, pasar tiempo con mi perra Minerva y tocar el violín que dejó papá cuando se fue. Ahí es donde me siento más segura. Y con mis amigas. Son pocas, pero incondicionales. En la escuela, los demás ni me registran. O por lo menos eso creía, hasta que Simón Oliveira consiguió mi contacto y empezó a escribirme.
Raffie on the Run
by Jacqueline Resnick Joe SutphinThe Cricket in Times Square meets Finding Nemo—a subway rat must cross New York City to bring his lost little brother home. Raffie Lipton lives a rat’s dream life. In his family’s subway station home, he has all the food he can forage from the treasure chests humans call trash cans, and the perfect shoebox bed for telling his brother his famous adventure stories. But when one of those stories goes awry and his little brother is taken from their Brooklyn subway station, Raffie must set out on an adventure across the city to find him. Along the way, he meets other urban animals—a street-wise pigeon, a pampered show dog, a genteel cockroach—and he faces hungry cats, greedy squirrels, and sewer rat kings. In Raffie on the Run, Jaqueline Resnick crafts a tale of friendship and adventure, where a little rat with a big imagination must embark on his own real-life story, and find the inner hero he isn’t sure he has.

The Rag and Bone Shop
by Robert CormierAmazon.com Review This final novel from the grand master of young-adult fiction is one last jewel in the literary crown of Robert Cormier, who died in November 2000. In it he continues to explore the themes that are so characteristic of his work: guilt and forgiveness, misuse of authority, and the corruption of innocence. But a new book from Cormier is always a surprise, and here he gives us a brilliant evocation of the detective story, in a narrative that centers on the interrogation of a murder suspect. A 7-year-old girl has been battered to death, and there are no suspects, no leads. The police, under political pressure to make an arrest, bring in Trent, a cold, ambitious professional interrogator who prides himself on his ability to extract confessions. His victim is 12-year-old Jason--the last person to see the girl. We know that Jason is innocent, and halfway through the interrogation Trent realizes it, too, in "a blazing moment." But like a medieval torturer, his goal is confession, not truth, and so he stifles his impulses for good and proceeds with the job, with deeply ironic consequences. The interrogation itself, which forms the centerpiece of the novel, is dazzling in its elegant thrust-and-parry, its subtle twists and turns, as Jason frantically tries to escape, like a mouse caged with a python. The point of view snaps back and forth so that we are intensely aware of the shifting emotions of both participants in the deadly game. And once again, Cormier has given us an ending that seems provocative and uncomfortable--until we remember that the center of his moral universe was always summed up by the words "if only." (Ages 12 and older)

In the second book of the series, Rage, a teenage cutter becomes War, one of the Riders of the Apocalypse. Missy didn't mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don't find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different. That's why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade--a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it's with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control.

Rage includes a teaser chapter of the next book in the Riders of the Apocalypse series, Loss.
