Mary, Will I Die?
by Shawn SarlesBestselling author Shawn Sarles' most terrifying YA horror yet . . .It starts innocently enough. Four kids - three girls, one boy - are at one of their houses, playing games. One of them has read about "Bloody Mary" and the idea that if you look into a mirror and say her name thirteen times, she will show you the future. Some legends say she'll show you your one true love or a skull to mark your death within five years. Others say that conjuring Bloody Mary will bring her into your world.Both sets of legends are true. The kids go through with the act, saying her name thirteen times. One girl looks in the mirror and sees her longtime crush. One girl looks in the mirror and sees the boy in the group. But she pretends to see something else. One girl looks in the mirror and sees a girl she's never seen before but can't get out of hermind. And the boy . . . he sees a skull. But he pretends to see something else. They try to laugh it off. And mostly they forget about it. Or at least they don't talk about it. Yes, over the next few years, whenever they look into a mirror, it's like there's always another figure standing in the background, getting closer.Just short of five years later, the four of them are no longer friends, having gone on separate paths. The girl whose house it was has always tried to avoid the mirror they used - because she always sensed someone in the background. One morning as she's passing by, she sees much more than her own reflection - it's a scary figure taunting her. She startles and breaks the mirror. When the pieces are put back together (barely), the figure is gone.That day in school, a new girl arrives. Her name is Mary . . . .

Mis pies casi tropiezan en el pavimento desigual de la calle adoquinada cuando siento la mirada de Mark en mí.

Mi nombre es Sarah, y mi padre era un agresor.” Regresa al mundo de la Serie “la Isla” y conoce a Sarah, residente de la Ciudad Dartmoor.

by Connie IslaUna de las influencers veganas argentinas de mayor crecimiento cuenta su viaje profundamente personal, un recorrido que va desde su temprana pasión por distintas formas de expresión artística hasta su experiencia de autodescubrimiento y su entrega completa a la causa feminista y a la lucha por un estilo de vida sustentable. Hola. Soy Connie, y quiero agradecerte que tengas mi libro en tus manos. Vengo a proponerte que me acompañes en un viaje, un viaje personal y revelador. Un recorrido por algunas cosas que hice en mi vida, gracias a las cuales me caí, me levanté, reflexioné, aprendí, cambié y entendí que está en nuestras manos hacer de este un mundo mejor. Y que para eso primero es necesario estar dispuestos a conocer, a cuestionarnos y saber algunas cosas que a veces preferiríamos no saber: de dónde viene eso que comemos, quién hizo las prendas con las que nos vestimos, cuánto tarda en degradarse esa botella de plástico que usamos y desechamos, y por qué a veces miramos para otro lado cuando se nos presenta esa verdad incómoda. Espero que acá encuentres no sólo respuestas, sino también preguntas, así como también herramientas para ayudarte a transitar este camino largo pero poderoso. Porque la información es poder, y tenemos el poder de cambiar el mundo. Sí, vos, una sola persona, aunque te cueste creerlo. Cada pequeña acción cuenta. Necesitamos acercarnos un poco más. Tener más compasión. Más conciencia. Más empatía. Más amor. Más luz, por favor.
