Category Five (Five Midnights #2)
by Ann Dávila CardinalCategory Five is a new supernatural YA thriller from Ann Dávila Cardinal, set against the backdrop of a post-hurricane Puerto Rico. After the hurricane, some see destruction and some smell blood. The tiny island of Vieques, located just off the northeastern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico, is trying to recover after hurricane Maria, but the already battered island is now half empty. To make matters worse, as on the main island, developers have come in to buy up the land at a fraction of its worth, taking advantage of the island when it is down. Lupe, Javier, and Marisol are back to investigate a series of murders that follow in the wake of a hurricane and in the shadow of a new supernatural threat. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Catfish Rolling
by Clara KumagaiA debut young adult coming-of-age book with magic realism elements, Catfish Rolling is perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli films and Laura Ruby's Bone Gap.There's a catfish under Japan, and when it rolls, the land rises and falls. At least, that's what Sora was told after she lost her mother to an earthquake so powerful that it cracked time itself. Sora and her father are some of the few who still live near the most powerful of these "zones" — the places where time has been irrevocably sped up, or slowed down. When high school ends, and her best friend leaves for university, Sora finds herself stuck and increasingly alone. She begins secretly conducting her own research, tracking down a time expert in Tokyo. She also feels increasingly conflicted in her quasi-romantic feelings for her best friend — and for the time expert's assistant, a striking and confident girl named Maya, another hafu (half-Japanese, half-non) girl with whom Sora forms an instant bond. But when Sora's father disappears, she has no choice but to return home and venture deep into the abandoned time zones to find him, and perhaps the catfish itself . . .

Cazando mitos: Lo que no te contaron en las clases de Historia del Perú
by Rafael Aita¡Todo lo que no te contaron en las clases de historia del Perú! ¿Es realmente Caral la cuna de la civilización más antigua de América? ¿Los extraterrestres dibujaron las Líneas de Nazca? ¿Anticiparon los mochicas el fin del mundo? ¿Tenían bandera los incas y era la de siete colores? ¿Saltó Alfonso Ugarte del Morro de Arica? En estas y otras preguntas, Rafael Aita, conocido como “Capitán Perú”, desentraña esa “otra historia” que no siempre se cuenta en los salones de clase y va a la caza de creencias que se han ido popularizando en el imaginario nacional. Con un estilo fresco, basado en documentación, evidencias y fuentes relevantes, el autor delimita la frontera entre el mito y la historia, desafiando la noción tradicional histórica, para apostar por una aproximación que privilegia el análisis antes que dar por sentado lo que nos han enseñado. Desde las intrigas entre Huáscar y Atahualpa, el origen del nombre del Perú, la participación de descendientes incaicos en la sociedad europea, los logros científicos de Pedro Paulet y Federico Villarreal, hasta el pelo largo de los Incas, las correrías piratas del Huáscar, el supuesto paso de Hitler por Casa Grande, Cazando mitos es un minucioso y ameno recorrido por acontecimientos y personajes que han marcado al país.
