by Francois Keyser«La reconocerás cuando la veas». Alondra se da cuenta de lo que quiso decir su padre la noche que conoce a Erin. La chica más hermosa que ha visto en su vida. Es amor a primera vista, pero el padre de Erin tiene otros planes para su hija. No permitirá que se case con un plebeyo como Alondra y le advierte que se mantenga alejado. Cuando el padre de Erin descubre que ambos le han ignorado, recurre a medidas más duras y Alondra se encuentra maldito por toda la eternidad. La única manera de romper la maldición es con un beso de Erin, pero la propia maldición hace casi imposible que Alondra se acerque a Erin en esta vida o en la siguiente, y mucho menos que le bese.

Generaciones más tarde, Alondra vuelve a encontrarse con Erin, reencarnada. ¿O no? La persona que él cree que es Erin conoce su secreto y le engaña para que la acepte como Erin por una razón que Alondra nunca habría imaginado. ¿Descubrirá la verdad y encontrará a la verdadera Erin reencarnada? ¿Estarán por fin juntos y sobrevivirán a los desafíos que se les presentan de nuevo, aunque finalmente puedan vencer la maldición y estar juntos?

Enchanted Hunters: The Power of Stories in Childhood
by Maria TatarHighly illuminating for parents, vital for students and book lovers alike, Enchanted Hunters transforms our understanding of why children should read. Ever wondered why little children love listening to stories, why older ones get lost in certain books? In this enthralling work, Maria Tatar challenges many of our assumptions about childhood reading. Much as our culture pays lip service to the importance of literature, we rarely examine the creative and cognitive benefits of reading from infancy through adolescence. By exploring how beauty and horror operated in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, and many other narratives, Tatar provides a delightful work for parents, teachers, and general readers, not just examining how and what children read but also showing through vivid examples how literature transports and transforms children with its intoxicating, captivating, and occasionally terrifying energy. In the tradition of Bruno Bettelheim's landmark The Uses of Enchantment, Tatar's book is not only a compelling journey into the world of childhood but a trip back for adult readers as well.
