A Taste for Monsters (Scholastic Press Novels)
by Matthew J. KirbyA “lovely, suspenseful, lyrical” ghost story set in Jack the Ripper’s London from the Edgar and PEN Award-winning author of Icefall (Kirkus Reviews).London 1888, and Jack the Ripper is terrorizing the people of the city. Evelyn, a young woman disfigured by her dangerous work in a matchstick factory with nowhere to go, does not know what to make of her new position as a maid to the Elephant Man in London Hospital. Evelyn wanted to be locked away from the world, like he is, shut away from the filth and dangers of the streets. But in Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, she finds a gentle kindred, who does not recoil from her, and who understands her pain. When the murders begin, however, Joseph and Evelyn are haunted nightly by the ghosts of the Ripper’s dead, setting Evelyn on a path to facing her fears and uncovering humanity’s worst nightmares, in which the real monsters are men.“[A] grisly fantasy . . . Evelyn—all grit, anger, and distrust—is a complex and engaging character, the slums and slang of Victorian-era London are carefully delineated, and the eventual revelation of Leather Apron’s identity and fate will leave readers gasping.” —Publishers Weekly“This historical fiction blends horror with mystery and results in wonderfully crafted storytelling with strong, well-drawn characters . . . A great read for fans of history, true crime, or ghost stories.” —School Library Journal“Kirby’s character development, particularly his portrayal of the extraordinary Mr. Merrick, is consistently impressive. Austen devotees are sure to appreciate Kirby’s commitment to the gothic entanglements of Northanger Abbey.” —Booklist

A Taste Of Colored Water
by Matt FaulknerHere, though, his exuberant, cartoony watercolors animate a bit of American history that he has dramatized himself -- albeit through the voice of LuLu, "short for Lucresia," whose friend Abbey has returned from a trip to the big city spouting crazy tales of a water bubbler marked "COLORED." Contemplating the "wondrous possibilities" of this, LuLu and her cousin steal a ride to the city to taste the marvel for themselves. But, of course, it's the early 1960s, it's the South, and the children's rainbow-h- ued fantasy dissolves into a black-and-white scenario that's at once sobering and scary.

Te lo digo por tu bien: Sobre ser gordas y ocupar espacios con libertad
by Agustina CabaleiroEl estigma de la gordura pesa mucho más que el propio cuerpo. Parecería que si no somos delgadas, valemos menos. La influencer del body positive Agustina Cabaleiro tiene mucho para decir al respecto. "La primera vez que me dijeron 'gorda' fue en el jardín de infantes", cuenta Agustina Cabaleiro, alias @onlinemami_, en el comienzo de este libro. Desde muy chica supo (aprendió a los golpes) que su cuerpo era una marca indeleble, un estigma. Las cosas que para las demás parecían tan sencillas, para Agustina eran muy complicadas: la ropa, el sexo, la amistad, el trabajo y hasta una simple consulta con un médico por un dolor de muela. Todo parecía estar atravesado por el volumen de su cuerpo, sobre el cual por otra parte todos se sentían en el derecho de opinar. "Te lo digo por tu bien", se justificaban. "¿Cómo se supone que vas a quererte si todo el mundo te está diciendo todo el tiempo que no vales nada?", se pregunta Agustina, e intenta esbozar algunas respuestas.
Te lo diré con una canción
by Paula Pimenta¿Quién dijo que ser una chica de dieciséis años fuera fácil?Si la vida de Fani fuera una película, probablemente sería una mezcla de comedia romántica, drama y ciencia ficción. Comedia romántica porque está enamorada de alguien que podría ser su príncipe azul (pero que tal vez nunca llegue a serlo); drama porque ese alguien es el joven profesor de biología (y eso complica bastante las cosas....). Y ciencia ficción porque si alguna vez lo invita al cine será el Día de San Nunca por la Tarde... Por si fuera poco, la película está ahora mismo en la parte más emocionante: ¿debe aceptar la propuesta de marcharse un año de intercambio o quedarse donde está? Dejar atrás a sus amigos del alma, a un amor imposible y su adorada colección de DVD cinco estrellas es tan difícil como renunciar a la que podría ser la aventura de su vida...

Desde que Tessa puede recordar, Cole se ha dedicado a hacerle la vida imposible. Aunque también es verdad que si vas a tener un enemigo número uno, mejor que sea como Cole: alto, buenorro como hay pocos y con unos ojos azules que tiran para atrás. Sí, es verdad, ha sido el tormento de Tessa desde que eran pequeños: le ha puesto motes, se ha metido con su manera de hablar, de andar y hasta de respirar. Pero el chico que ha vuelto no se parece en nada al bully de antes. Este chico nuevo la desafía, prueba sus límites, la fuerza a sacar a la chica guay que ella se empeña en esconder bajo una capa de mediocridad y cutrerío... ¡Un momento! ¿Podría ser que quien ella cree que es su peor pesadilla sea en realidad su ángel de la guarda? Ya lo dice el refrán: quien bien te quiere, te hará rabiar. ADVERTENCIA:Incluido en esta historia viene un chico malo, cuyas contraindicaciones son suspiros pronunciados y risa histérica.

Queer star-crossed love amid a centuries-old feud takes center stage in this Romeo & Juliet remix that knows sometimes, the best way is to make it gay.Verona, Italy. Seventeen-year-old aspiring artist Romeo dreams of a quiet life with someone who loves him just as he is. But as the heir to the Montague family, he is expected to give up his "womanly" artistic pursuits and uphold the family honor—particularly in their centuries-old blood feud with a rival family, the Capulets. Worse still, he is also expected to marry a well-bred girl approved by his parents and produce heirs. But the more Romeo is forced to mingle with eligible maidens, the harder it is to keep his deepest secret: He only feels attracted to other boys.In an attempt to forget his troubles for just one night, Romeo joins his cousin in sneaking into a Capulet party. During a fateful encounter in the garden, he meets the kindest, most beautiful boy he's ever met, and is shocked to learn he's Valentine, the younger brother of one of his closest friends. He is even more shocked to discover that Valentine is just as enamored with Romeo as Romeo is with him.So begins a tender romance that the boys must hide from their families and friends, each of them longing for a world where they could be together without fear. And as the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets escalates out of control, Romeo and Valentine find themselves in danger of losing each other forever—if not by society's scorn, then by the edge of a blade.The Remixed Classics SeriesA Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix by C.B.
