Bastille contra los bibliotecarios malvados (Alcatraz contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados #Volumen 6)
by Brandon Sanderson Janci PattersonBastille contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados es la última entrega de Alcatraz contra los bibliotecarios malvados, la fabulosamente divertida serie de aventuras fantásticas middle grade apta para todos los públicos protagonizada por Alcatraz Smedry. Como caballero de Cristalia, yo, Bastille, juré proteger al clan Smedry de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. (Y creedme, incluso los mequetrefes como ellos necesitan que alguien los proteja). Pero cuando ataron a Alcatraz Smedry a un altar de enciclopedias desactualizadas para ofrecerlo como sacrificio a los dioses oscures, llegué demasiado tarde. Y su padre dio la vida por él. Ahora Alcatraz es un mar de lágrimas, así que me toca a mí liderar el ataque contra el asesino de su padre: Biblioden, fundador de los Bibliotecarios Malvados (¡creía que llevaba siglos muerto!). Biblioden ha regresado para llevar a término su plan y conseguir dominar todo el mundo. Va a utilizar los poderes oscuros que ha obtenido con el sacrificio del padre de Alcatraz para doblegar a cualquiera que no esté bajo el control de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. Morir quemado no entra dentro de mis planes, así que más me vale dar con un plan para pararle los pies. Sé que Alcatraz se equivoca cuando dice que no es un héroe, pero, cuando un héroe no está a la altura, es el momento de que el resto demos un paso adelante y hagamos lo que haga falta. ¡El desenlace de la serie middle grade de los autores número 1 del New York Times Brandon Sanderson y Janci Patterson! Reseñas:«Brandon Sanderson es una leyenda.»Alexelcapo, @EvilAFM «Una excelente opción para leer en voz alta a toda la familia.

Bastina's Necklace
by Roscoe JamesThe Galactic League of Planets has a plan to save a dying world, but Princess Anleen and Captain Dirk Roberts have plans of their own! Join them in this rollicking adventure as they hunt for an ancient treasure and find more than either of them was looking for.The plan was simple. Evacuate the entire population of a planet orbiting around a dying sun to a terraformed world created just for them by the Galactic League of Planets. At least it was simple until Princess Anleen of Bastina decided the biggest and fastest space vessel ever built could be put to better use. She needed to recover the key to the ancient map. It didn't matter that the most important relic of the Bastinan people was the good luck charm of an earthling who fancied himself a pirate on the high seas of space and traded in only two things--gold and women. Fair maidens when possible. When Captain Dirk Roberts, ex-Corporate Space Fleet colonel, now independent space freight hauler--a man who doesn't always have his papers or his life in order--seeks safe haven at the doomed planet Aznate, he's only looking for a hot shower, a drink or three at the last spacer bar on the edge of known civilization, and repairs for his ship. What he finds instead is more intriguing than any tale of Blackbeard's adventures and more beguiling than the fair maiden Guinevere of Arthurian legend. From a hijacked ark to a plundered heart to the writing of the final Chapter in the ancient children's fairytale of the legend of Bastina, only Haark, the god of the Bastinan people, knows how the story will end... But that doesn't stop Princess Anleen from trying to rewrite it.
