by Javier Ruescas¿Qué serías capaz de hacer por amor? ¿Hasta dónde estarías dispuesto a llegar para alcanzar la fama? Nadie diría que Leo y Aarón son hermanos. El primero es presumido y ambicioso; el segundo, tímido y reservado. Pero ambos desean algo. Mientras Leo sueña con hacerse famoso a toda costa, Aarón no deja de pensar en cómo puede recuperar a su novia, quien, tras ganar un concurso y convertirse en una estrella mundial, se ha vuelto inaccesible. Un día, husmeando en el ordenador de su hermano, Leo descubre que Aarón tiene un talento desbordante para la música, y que ha compuesto y grabado varios temas que no tienen nada que envidiarles a los hits más populares del momento. Sin meditar las consecuencias, Leo decide darlos a conocer por internet y muy pronto el fenómeno Play Serafin -el nombre que le ha puesto al canal de YouTube- estalla por toda la red... El amor es la meta... La fama, su único camino. «Ojalá hubiera estado allí Dalila. Ojalá me hubiera atrevido a mostrar esa faceta de mí cuando todavía estaba a mi lado...Aunque, bien pensado, si ella nunca se hubiera ido, yo no habría hecho caso a Leo y aquel concierto no estaría teniendo lugar. Fuera como fuese, en la siguiente canción me esforcé más que en ninguna otra. Quizá nunca podría volver a hablar con ella, a lo mejor saludarla se había convertido en un imposible.Pero una canción... una canción podría viajar por mil caminos y me acercaría a ella tanto como una palabra o un beso.» Reseñas:«Una de las grandes promesas de la literatura juvenil española.»Nueva Tribuna «Javier Ruescas es el máximo exponente de una generación de autores que romperá los límites de la literatura juvenil.»Francesc Miralles, autor de Retrum «Un éxito entre el público juvenil.»ABC «Una novela fresca y adictiva, que no te suelta hasta el final.»Esther Sanz, autora de El bosque de los corazones dormidos

Playing with the Book: Victorian Movable Picture Books and the Child Reader
by Hannah FieldA beautifully illustrated exploration of how Victorian novelty picture books reshape the ways children read and interact with texts The Victorian era saw an explosion of novelty picture books with flaps to lift and tabs to pull, pages that could fold out, pop-up scenes, and even mechanical toys mounted on pages. Analyzing books for young children published between 1835 and 1914, Playing with the Book studies how these elaborately designed works raise questions not just about what books should look like but also about what reading is, particularly in relation to children’s literature and child readers. Novelty books promised (or threatened) to make reading a physical as well as intellectual activity, requiring the child to pull a tab or lift a flap to continue the story. These books changed the relationship between pictures, words, and format in both productive and troubling ways. Hannah Field considers these aspects of children’s reading through case studies of different formats of novelty and movable books and intensive examination of editions that have survived from the nineteenth century. She discovers that children ripped, tore, and colored in their novelty books—despite these books’ explicit instructions against such behaviors.Richly illustrated with images of these ingenious constructions, Playing with the Book argues that novelty books construct a process of reading that involves touch as well as sight, thus reconfiguring our understanding of the phenomenology of reading.
