Papelucho en vacaciones
by Marcela PazLas vacaciones en familia pueden llegar a ser toda una aventura. Así le ocurre a Papelucho cuando al acampar en el sur de Chile comienza a seguir unas luces pensando que son los focos de un auto. Para su sorpresa se hallará con los ojos brillantes de una "culebra". Este animalito se convertirá en un nuevo amigo con el que visitará, entre otros lugares, un cementerio de ciervos, el castillo de la isla Mancera y la ruca de una familia mapuche.
Papelucho misionero
by Marcela PazLuego de apagar un incendio con el colchón de la Domi, Papelucho ha descubierto cuál es su vocación en la vida: ser bombero. Sin embargo, sus planes cambian inesperadamente cuando viaja junto a su familia a África, donde además de maravillarse con un paisaje exótico, decide ser misionero y convertir a sus habitantes al cristianismo. Acompañado de un nuevo amigo y de un pequeño gorila, Papelucho se aventura en la selva donde conocerá a una tribu de caníbales y a unos contrabandistas de diamantes que harán lo imposible para mantener en secreto sus malévolos planes.
Papelucho y el marciano
by Marcela PazPapelucho se ríe y habla solo, salta como un sapo mientras duerme y tiene hipo todo el rato. ¿Se habrá vuelto loco?, se preguntan todos. Lo que ocurre en realidad es que, aunque no lo crean, Papelucho ha aspirado a un marciano por la nariz. El extraño personaje, que vive dentro de su cuerpo se convierte en su gran amigo y, de las formas más increíbles, Papelucho tratará de ayudarlo a regresar a su planeta. Esta historia -de película- nos ratifica a Papelucho como un clásico de la literatura infantil.
Papelucho. Mi hermana Ji
by Marcela Paz"Yo quería una hermana menor, para poder mandarla. Pero ahora que la tengo, me arrepiento. Es completamente fatal?Tengo que llevarme todo el día haciéndola aparecer. Porque mi hermana Ji es lo más desaparecida que hay, y también es creída." Papelucho se ha trasformado en el guardián de su hermanita. Es el único que, cada vez que la Ji desaparece o juega a ser otra persona, puede descubrir adónde se ha ido. Entonces, analiza las pistas que los demás ignoran y logra dar con ella entre las flores del jardín, en el techo de la casa o en la fuente de la plaza buscando sapos. Papelucho nació hace 60 años. Su madre, Marcela Paz, sintió la imperiosa necesidad de crear un personaje que representara a un niño, o niña, con el que otros niños pudieran identificarse y reconocer en él sus propias experiencias e intereses. Al mismo tiempo, quiso dar vida a un personaje a través del cual los padres pudieran comprender cómo sus hijos e hijas se cuestionan y explican el mundo. Papelucho tiene 9 años, es curioso, tiene una exquisita frescura para ver y entender el mundo, es inquieto, imaginativo, soñador, ingenioso y muy crítico para interpretar y explicarse las reacciones de los adultos.

Papi: A Novel
by Rita Indiana“Papi’s there, around any corner,” says the eight-year-old girl at the heart of Papi. “But you can’t sit down and wait for him cuz that’s a longer and more painful death.” Living in Santo Domingo, she waits for her father to come back from the United States and lavish her with the glorious rewards of his fame and fortune—shiny new cars and polo shirts, gold chains and Nikes. But when Papi does come back, he turns out to be more “like Jason, the guy from Friday the 13th," than a prince. Papi is a drug dealer, a man who is clearly unreliable and dangerous but nevertheless makes his daughter feel powerful and wholly, terrifyingly alive. Drawing on her memories of a childhood split between Santo Domingo and visits with her father amid the luxuries of the United States, Rita Indiana mixes satire with a child’s imagination, horror with science fiction, in a swirling tale of a daughter’s love, the lure of crime and machismo, and the violence of the adult world. Expertly translated into English for the first time by Achy Obejas, who renders the rhythmic lyricism of Indiana’s Dominican Spanish in language that propels the book forward with the relentless beat of a merengue, Papi is furious, musical, and full of wit—a passionate, overwhelming, and very human explosion of artistic virtuosity.

As she delves ever deeper into the imagination, the borderline between dream and reality becomes increasingly blurred, and nightmares begin to leak into the everyday realm.

Papá Puerco (Mundodisco #Volumen 20)
by Terry PratchettHa llegado la Navidad al Mundodisco... aunque allí tiene otro nombre y guarda muchas sorpresas. Es la Vigilia de los Puercos, la fiesta invernal que marca el año nuevo en el Mundodisco. Los niños duermen y esperan que Papá Puerco baje por la chimenea y les deje sus regalos. Sin embargo, algo extraño está ocurriendo. El visitante no es un anciano tripudo de barba blanca. Recuerda más bien a un esqueleto. No se aclara mucho con el almohadón que lleva atado a la cintura debajo del traje rojo. Exclama «¡Jo, jo, jo jo!» en tono fúnebre y parece más acostumbrado a usar la guadaña que a repartir caramelos dentro de los calcetines. Pero alguien tiene que hacer el trabajo, porque Papá Puerco está... bueno, a falta de palabra mejor, muerto. Y si para mañana por la mañana no creen en él las suficientes personas, el sol no asomará por el borde del mundo. En esta nueva novela (que debería llevar un aviso en portada por su tremenda adictividad) el destino del Mundodisco queda en manos del auténtico sentido de la fiesta más entrañable del calendario, que es poner regalos bajo el árbol y comer hasta reventar. ¿O era la paz y la buena voluntad? Quizá su sentido último sea otro, olvidado hace tiempo. Reseña:«Tras veinte libros en la serie del Mundodisco, Pratchett debe ser el aspirante más creíble al trono que dejó vacante hace tanto tiempo P. G. Wodehouse.»The Times
