O al menos eso es lo que piensa Gwendolyn Sheperd. Y es que en su casa nada ni nadie es del todo «normal»: empezando por su excéntrica tía abuela, pasando por la misteriosa Lucy, que se escapó de casa hace diecisiete años sin dejar rastro... y, para acabar, también está Charlotte, su encantadora y rabiosamente perfecta prima, quien, según parece, ha heredado un extraño gen familiar que le permitirá viajar en el tiempo. Pero un día Gwen se encuentra de pronto en el Londres del penúltimo cambio de siglo y comprende que el mayor secreto de su familia es ¡ella misma! Para protegerla, su madre trató de ocultarle todas las pruebas, pero en realidad ella es la última viajera en el tiempo y tiene una importante misión que cumplir. Ahora Gwen está en el ojo del huracán y parece que todo el mundo tiene un montón de advertencias que hacerle. En cambio, nadie va a decirle lo más importante: es mejor no enamorarse mientras se viaja de una época a otra, porque eso puede complicar terriblemente las cosas... Como cualquier otro día, regresé pronto a casa al salir del instituto. Mi tía se había quedado sin sus dulces favoritos y me ofrecí para ir a la tienda a comprar más. Pero de camino empecé a sentir algo muy extraño: las piernas me temblaban y tuve una sensación rara en el estómago. De repente, la calle desapareció ante mis ojos. Poco después reapareció, pero muchas cosas eran diferentes. Había vuelto al pasado. Me llamo Gwen y soy la última viajera en el tiempo. Así empieza la aventura de mi vida...

Rudimentary Theory About Quantum Entanglement and Twin States: Rudimentary Theory About Quantum Entanglement and Twin States
by G. G. MeliesDo you want to live on Mars your whole life? Before the end of the 21st century, humanity will face the exploration of the interior of a black hole. Using quantum physics properties, it will think of sending a laser beam loaded with a zoo of particles susceptible to changes and variations directly into the hole to be used as drones, and entangled with its peers on Earth that will await their signals from measurements in the interior of a quantum computer, these signals escaping instantaneously to the hole mass and arriving in the same way to our the planet thanks to the "ghostly action at a distance". But Scott and Andrew were already communicating in that... "natural" way. Synopsis. It's a story about opposites, about crazy hypotheses of physics and the human spirit. Within this scenario and bound by the same laws are Scott Moreno, a colonist on Mars, and Andrew Moreno, an eco-terrorist activist from Greenwars, twins separated by the distances between the red planet and Earth. As children, they always experienced a strange connection that is enhanced by stress. Will willpower and the desire for siblings reunite reverse entropy? It is an extremely rationalist science fiction novel, set on Mars and Earth in the year 2104 where there is a parallel between particle communication and the human mind from conception. Inspired by the 1844 novel by Alexander Dumas, "The Corsican Brothers", the story talks about the ins and outs of living on Mars added to regret the remoteness of the family, at a time when humanity achieved ecological stability through a terrorist fight, and begins to dismiss the colonization of the red planet, in an America recently shaken by a resurgence of the intolerance message towards Latins who tries to recover by remembering the Germany of the 1930s. Do you ... do you sense what is happening to your brother in the distance? Can you tell the limit in kilometers of that feeling?
Rudolph!
by Mark TeppoRudolph! is a first-person account of the behind-the-scenes workings at the North Pole. Narrated by Bernard Rosewood, one of the elves of the North Pole Consortium, the story begins with Santa's realization that a young girl's request to get her dad back for Christmas isn't going to happen. Dad, you see, died in a car accident on a snowy road shortly after Thanksgiving. The NPC can do a lot, but they can't do miracles. Enter Rudolph, who has been hairless, cranky, and perpetually irradiated since the unfortunate malfunction of the Nuclear Clock in 1964. Rudolph is a survivor of the worst accident in the 400-plus years of NPC delivery, and if there is anyone on staff who believes in miracles more than jolly Saint Nick, it's Rudolph. Bernie, in a valiant effort to keep Christmas from going off the rails, is swept up into a Heaven-storming, Hell-crusading, Night of Bad Musical Numbers adventure to ensure that every child wakes up with presents on Christmas morning. Rudolph! is a funny and fast-paced reaction to 40 years of world-weary cynicism, technological advances, and post-millennial ennui since Rankin/Bass brought a stop motion reindeer into our living rooms.

Luscious blooms in every shade imaginable seemed to unfurl before her very eyes. It was the season of rebirth, her favorite time of year on Braccio, and yet Cygne felt out of pace with all of nature. She didn’t begrudge nature for her beauty. Cygne just wished it had cast a fraction of its bounty her way. But some things weren’t meant to be, no matter how much you wished for them.Cygne knew life had more to offer, so she left her lush valley to find it, rather than burden her flock any longer. That’s when she found them, the five vibrant males who looked like her. All her life Cygne thought she was damaged, deformed, only to discover she wasn’t Braccio at all. For a brief moment she knew what it felt like to be normal, only to have it snatched away again, when she realized that even among her own kind she was drab and lifeless. Yet the winged males insisted she was beautiful. Cygne didn’t know if it was a cruel joke, and she couldn’t figure out what the handsome broodmates wanted with her, as she became wrapped up in their foreign world. But it was so nice to be wanted, even if it was all a pretty dream. Follow Cygne in this retelling of The Ugly Duckling, as her broodmates ruffle her feathers with heated kisses and tender touches, coaxing her into believing not just how beautiful she is, but that true beauty lies within.
