Panic
by Lauren OliverFrom New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes an extraordinary novel of fear, friendship, courage, and hope that Kirkus Reviews says "will have readers up until the wee hours," School Library Journal raves is "fast-paced and captivating," and E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars, calls "a thrill a minute."Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a poor town of twelve thousand people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. Heather never thought she would compete in panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors. She'd never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought. Dodge has never been afraid of panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game; he's sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he's not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for. For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them--and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

La panza del Tepozteco (edición de aniversario)
by José AgustínLa fantástica aventura que emprenden unos niños al entrar a una cueva secreta del Tepozteco celebra 30 años. Esta edición, que festeja el 30 aniversario del libro, cuenta con prólogo de Francisco Hinojosa y con testimonios de Antonio Malpica, Fernanda Melchor, Emiliano Monge, Ana Romero; y los hijos de José Agustín: Agustín, Andrés y Jesús Ramírez-Bermúdez. Por si fuera poco, incluye algunos de los dibujos originales, pero en esta ocasión a color, e ilustraciones nuevas hechas por Agustín Ramírez —autor del concepto gráfico de la edición original—, así como fotografías exclusivas del fotorreportero español Kim Manresa, quien ha retratado a más de 25 Premios Nobel de Literatura alrededor del mundo. La fantástica aventura que emprenden unos niños al entrar a una cueva secreta del Tepozteco celebra 30 años. Emocionados porque se acerca un fin de semana largo, Homero, Tor, Érika, Alain, Selene, Indra y Yanira deciden ir a Tepoztlán a descansar. Ahí se encuentran con Pancho —un niño oriundo del lugar— quien los invita a subir al Tepozteco, pero por un camino no tan habitual, el cual los llevará al corazón de la montaña donde conocerán, de primera mano, la mitología prehispánica y muchas de sus costumbres. La presencia de los niños y su entrada en el santuario desatará una lucha entre deidades: algunas, como Tonantzin, buscarán protegerlos, mientras que otras intentarán sacrificarlos, dejando atrás las enseñanzas de Quetzalcóatl. José Agustín narra las peripecias de los protagonistas con una gran soltura: su agilidad para contar sus aventuras, entrelazándolas con el mundo antiguo, es sorprendente.
Papá, mamá, ¡dejadme tiempo para mi!
by Etty BuzynEn la actualidad, los niños están sometidos a una estimulación intensa, un exceso de información y una avalancha de actividades extraescolares. Esta sobrecarga, que tiene por objetivo convertirlos en adultos extremadamente capaces, se traduce en una falta de iniciativa para soñar e inventar. Sin embargo, es esencial que los niños disfruten de momentos de ocio, pues estos les ayudan a expresar sus deseos y estimulan su creatividad. * ¿Por qué es tan necesario el juego? * ¿En qué sentido es constructiva la inactividad? * ¿Cómo benefician al niño los momentos de «aburrimiento»? * ¿Qué lugar deben ocupar la televisión y los videojuegos en su tiempo libre? * ¿Hasta qué punto deben tener libertad para elegir sus aficiones? Etty Buzyn, psicóloga clínica y psicoterapeuta, expone las razones por las que el exceso de actividad merma la riqueza de la imaginación, que es determinante para «la creatividad y, por lo tanto, para la adaptación y la innovación». Por ello, los niños deben disponer de tiempo libre para soñar y, así, el día de mañana no verse tentados a quedarse al margen de la sociedad ni convertirse en adultos que se sientan atados por las normas.

Paradise Lane
by William TaylorWhen fifteen-year-old Rosie Perkins, an outcast at school, saves the life of a baby opossum, she finds an unlikely friend and ally in Michael Geraghty, a classmate who is her complete opposite. [From the front dust jacket flap] "No one likes Rosie Perkins. She lives in a rundown house on Old Dump Road (once called Paradise Lane), and she's too much of a loner to miss having friends. When she rescues a baby possum and lovingly takes it home, the class bullies play a loathsome trick on her: They shower her with dead possums on her way home from school. To Rosie, who only wants to be ignored, it seems like the end. Only Michael Geraghty goes back to where the boys leave Rosie. He finds her sobbing on the dusty ground, and out of remorse--a new emotion for him--he tries to apologize. But when Michael and Rosie talk, it's as if they're from different worlds, not neighboring houses: Michael's family is large and loud; Rosie's, confined and repressed. Rosie invests her possum Plum with all her love; Michael traps possums for money. But despite--or because of--their differences, they're drawn to each other. Not the tragic death of Plum, the truths Rosie uncovers about her mother, or the abuses of a possessive father can stop their feelings. A writer new to American readers brings to life two memorable characters and their extraordinary romance, which changes the life of one of them, and the thinking of both."
