Mi cuento
by Erick Carballo Stefano PastorLa guerra entre los niños y los ogros nunca terminará. Gatto sabe exactamente cómo es el mundo, y conoce la diferencia entre realidad y mito. La realidad es que el mundo de los niños es una prisión donde los ogros los tienen encerrados. Ahí pueden vivir en una ilusión de libertad, pero son conscientes de que esa libertad algún día terminará. Cuando estén muy altos, el ogro llegará y se los llevará para comérselos, porque eso es lo que harán los ogros. El resto de lo que pase detrás de esa puerta no es más que leyenda. Ellos no saben nada. Todo lo que se transmite de boca en boca es vacío y confuso. Está a punto de descubrirlo, el momento ha llegado, pero Gatto aún no quiere aceptarlo. Cuando el ogro venga a buscarlo, él ya se habrá escapado. Huye y se pierde en un laberinto oscuro e incomprensible; pero lo que le ocurre afuera es algo inesperado; algo de lo que ninguna leyenda ha contado jamás. Un mundo lleno de obstáculos y maravillas, donde se esconde la respuesta a todas sus preguntas.

When Jonas wakes up in Frombleton, GA, he realizes that he's been changed. No longer a normal teenager, he's become something unspeakably sinister-- something undead! Discovering her own powers of sorcery that have been laying dormant, Holland joins forces with Jonas and soon finds herself falling for him, despite the dark secret he keeps.
