Maggot Moon
by Sally Gardner Julian CrouchWhat if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell -- who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright -- sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big...One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.
Magi'i of Cyador (Recluce #10)
by L. E. Modesitt Jr.[From the inside book flap:] L.E. Modesitt, Jr., is one of the standard names in fantasy entering the new decade, and his most famous series is the Saga of Recluce. Each novel fills in pieces of the history of this land where Chaos and Order strive to maintain a magical balance. Magi'i of Cyador marks the beginning of a new tale from deep within the rich depths of the history of Recluce. This is the story of Lorn, a talented boy born into a family of Magi'i. A fastidious student of remarkable talent, Lorn lacks the single most coveted attribute required of a Magus of Cyador: unquestionable loyalty. Lorn is too independent for his own good. So Lorn is forced to become a lancer officer, and he's sent to the frontier to fight off the all-too-frequent barbarian raids--a career that comes with a fifty percent mortality rate. His enemies don't expect him to survive.... Lorn is a fresh, new character who will enrich one of the most important fantasy series of the decade: the Saga of Recluce.
Magia Desatada: Serie Magia Desatada Libro Uno (Magia Interdimensional #1)
by M. L. RyanEn mi mundo hay dos tipos de personas: las que tienen mucha magia y las que tienen poca o ninguna. Los que tienen, normalmente señores de la guerra y sus secuaces, utilizan sus habilidades arcanas para mantener a los que no tienen bajo sus pulgares encantados. Por desgracia, yo pertenezco a la segunda categoría. ¿La única cosa peor en este mundo brutal y sin ley que ser una persona con problemas de magia? Ser una mujer. Por mi cuenta desde los once años, me mantuve viva haciéndome pasar por un chico, robando para mantener mi barriga llena y sin quedarme en un lugar por mucho tiempo. ¿Solitaria? Claro, pero ello me mantuvo a salvo durante ocho largos años. Hasta que elegí la banda equivocada para robar una barra de pan. Si no fuera por los guerreros mágicos que pasaban por allí, el error habría sido fatal. El último lugar en el que quería estar era en manos de un señor de la guerra, pero no me dieron muchas opciones. Después de rescatarme, me llevaron a su campamento. Tenía toda la intención de salir a la primera oportunidad. Y lo habría hecho, también, si todos no hubieran sido tan condenadamente amables. O si no me hubieran ofrecido enseñarme a usar la poderosa magia que no sabía que tenía. Supongo que tendré que ver si soy tan buena en la magia como creen... Magia desatada, primer libro de la serie Magia interdimensional, es una historia ingeniosa y llena de acción ambientada en la dimensión paralela de Dekankara, introducida por primera vez en la premiada serie Dimensión de Coursodon de M.L. Ryan.
