So with only his spear, his sword, and a bag of gifts from the women of the village, Ehomba leaves family and home to walk the length of the world, cross an impassable ocean, vanquish an unstoppable evil, and rescue a woman he has never met for the sake of a dead man he does not know. This is vol. 1.

Pero el pequeño reino montañoso cuenta con buenas defensas: las brujas Yaya Ceravieja, Tata Ogg, Agnes y, aunque tenga que cambiar pañales entre hechizo y poción, la reina Magrat. Eso sin contar el ejército de hombrecillos azules que lleva un tiempo dando vueltas por la región.

Carry On

<P>Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen. That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right. Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. <P>Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here--it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up. <P>Carry On - The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters. <P><b> Nominee for the 2018 Young Reader's Choice Award </b> <i>(Pacific Northwest Library Association)</i>
