So when Ragweed is scooped up by the sinister owl, Mr. Ocax, who rules over Dimwood forest, she’s devastated. Her whole life she was warned of Mr. Ocax’s evil ways…how could she have been so foolish to put herself and Ragweed at risk?To make matters worse, when Poppy attempts to move with her family to a different part of the woods where the food supply is richer, Mr. Ocax refuses to let them go. Despite what she’s been led to believe for years, Mr. Ocax is not as strong as he wants the mice to think he is.

Popular Hits of the Showa Era: A Novel
by Ryu MurakamiFrom the author of Audition, a wickedly satirical and wildly funny tale of an intergenerational battle of the sexes. In his most irreverent novel yet, Ryu Murakami creates a rivalry of epic proportions between six aimless youths and six tough-as-nails women who battle for control of a Tokyo neighborhood. At the outset, the young men seem louche but harmless, their activities limited to drinking, snacking, peering at a naked neighbor through a window, and performing karaoke. The six "aunties" are fiercely independent career women. When one of the boys executes a lethal ambush of one of the women, chaos ensues. The women band together to find the killer and exact revenge. In turn, the boys buckle down, study physics, and plot to take out their nemeses in a single blast. Who knew that a deadly "gang war" could be such fun? Murakami builds the conflict into a hilarious, spot-on satire of modern culture and the tensions between the sexes and generations.

Por Amor a un Vampiro
by Eileen SheehanRecobré mis sentidos en la noche y lo primero que hice fue llamar a Duncan a su celular, nadie respondó, entonces decidí llamarlo a su casa pero igual no respondía. Así sucedió por días. Pensando que yo estaba aterrada y molesta por saber de su verdadera identidad, él se había ocultado de mi, no fue sino hasta dos semanas después que reapareció. Todo este tiempo que estuve separada de mi amor la pasé buscando e investigando todo sobre los vampiros, de inmediato se cruzó en mi mente una teoría que me perseguía una y otra vez; Dios crea y ama a todas las criaturas y cada cosa, él decide quién es malo y quién no lo es. Eso muy cierto, de seguro que los vampiros y los pandilleros que me atacaron eran malos, pero ¿lo eran los pandilleros?. Hay malos y buenos en todas las especies, yp sabía en lo más profundo de mi corazón que Duncan era buen; si yo llegara a saber la verdad de que él era malo, era demasiado tarde porque ya me habia enamorado de él. Sentí la presencia de Duncan esperando reunir el valor necesario para tocar a mi puerta, él creía que me asustaría y rehusaría a abrirle. En lugar de eso, lo había sorprendido con una salvaje bienvenida, abrí la puerta y volé directo a sus brazos para besarlo salvajemente. En cambio, él se vió sorprendido por mi gran alegría de haberle aceptado tal y como era. Este fue un reencuentro muy gratificante. Pasamos los días posteriores haciendo el amor y compartiendo nuestros secretos más profundos, aprendí que Duncan se convirtió en vampiro justo unos días antes de su boda y que tuvo lugar en el año de mil setecientos cuarenta y cinco. Él nunca habia visto criaturas tan sobrenaturales como los vampiros, no pensó formar parte de esas historias, o incluso tomar precauciones al transitar los caminos en mitad de la noche. Habían rumores de que la señorita Vivian Everhoust…

Por designio divino
by Esperanza RiscartSentimientos, emociones, intriga, romanticismo y grandes dosis de acción. Dios ha encomendado una dificultosa misión a sus siete arcángeles: salvar a la Tierra y a los seres humanos quienes, debido a su codicia, la crueldad y el egoísmo, están encaminados hacia su propia destrucción. El arcángel Gabriel, orgulloso, soberbio y desilusionado, pierde su fe en la Humanidad. Sin embargo, su actitud dará un giro brusco cuando se instala en Barcelona y conoce a sus nuevos vecinos: Pere, un anciano que lo acoge con una generosidad inusual, y su nieta Isabel, una joven comadrona de la que Gabriel se enamora a pesar de su desconocimiento sobre los sentimientos humanos y su empeño en que ello no suceda. El apasionado y profundo amor que surge entre ambos moviliza a las fuerzas infernales y puede provocar una guerra entre demonios y ángeles que cause el apocalipsis final. -Pero -Miguel no se atrevía a preguntar-, ¿qué designio reserva nuestro Padre para una humana? No lo entiendo, Gabriel. ¿Qué poder oculta Isabel?

Por último, el corazón
by Margaret AtwoodLa desbordante imaginación de Atwood, arropada por un mordaz sentido del humor, da vida a una novela que, si bien gira en torno a un fenómeno tan actual como la progresiva extinción de la clase media, incide también en los entresijos de la pareja moderna, desvelando de forma inquietante su intimidad, sus crisis, sus demonios y fantasías. Una obra punzante de una de las escritoras más talentosas de la narrativa contemporánea. Víctimas de la debacle económica, Stan y Charmaine se instalan en el coche tras perder su casa. Malviven gracias a los escasos ingresos que ella consigue en un bar de poca monta. Es entonces cuando llama su atención un anuncio acerca del Proyecto Positrón, un experimento social en el que los habitantes de la idílica ciudad de Consiliencia se dividen en dos grupos que alternan su modus vivendi cada treinta días: mientras el cincuenta por ciento se recluye en la Penitenciaría Positrón para mantener el sistema, la otra mitad disfruta de plena libertad y lleva un estilo de vida propio de la clase media. Al cabo de un mes, intercambian sus roles: los libres ingresan en prisión y los encarcelados se instalan en las viviendas que ocupaban los nuevos reclusos, haciendo uso común de todos los objetos, enseres y aparatos. Agotado el entusiasmo inicial, Stan y Charmaine no tardan en percatarse de que Consiliencia no es el paraíso que habían imaginado y pronto se ven envueltos en una serie de aventuras disparatadas, atrapados en un torbellino de lujuria que les hará cuestionarse sus valores y sentimientos más profundos. Críticas:«Su visión de los deseos más impredecibles del corazón humano y su osadía narrativa han hecho de Margaret Atwood una de las novelistas más reputadas del mundo.»The Guardian «Por último, el corazón es un fascinante salto a lo absurdo acerca del dominio y el deseo, del amor y la independencia, conflicto de fuerzas opuestas que nunca llega a resolverse.»The New York Times «Atwood plantea ideas geniales acerca del control que realmente queremos ejercer sobre nuestras acciones y sobre nuestras mentes.»The Independent on Sunday «No es una lectura tranquilizadora, pero sí persuasiva y de sombría comicidad, seria y siniestra, sutil y sagaz... La voz burlona, descarada y escéptica de Atwood conserva en esta novela la fuerza de siempre.»The Herald «Lo que distingue el apocalipticismo de Margaret Atwood es su insistencia en que somos nosotros los causantes de nuestros problemas. [...] Me encantaThe Times «Por último, el corazón es a un mismo tiempo emocionante, divertida, cruda y sobrecogedoramente convincente.»Harper's Bazaar
