Showboat Southpaw
by Duane DeckerBlue Sox 11. Sam Sloat was a nineteen-year-old pitcher, and for a left-hander he had good control. He had a good curve, too, but he seldom used it. He figured he didn't need it, not when he could just blow his fast ball past the hitters. The Blue Sox called him up from Triple-A at the end of the season and when he got a chance to pitch, with the game still wide open in the last inning, he shook off his catcher until he got the signal for the fast ball. Then he blew three batters in succession back to the bench, and that was the game. His next performance was even more startling-a complete game using nothing but the fast ball. But back home, in the fall, a frightening thing happened. Showboat Sloat felt the first ominous twinge in his left arm. How he dealt with the situation makes a wonderfully satisfying story, which provides not only plenty of baseball action, but also the picture of a man in the making.

Si no te vas (Periscopio)
by Pau Joan Hernández de Fuenmayor Natalia Ribes PuignouMe llamo Lorena y no sé si tengo que decir que tenía dieciséis años y ya no los tengo, o bien que tenía dieciséis años y seguiré teniéndolos para siempre. Me llamo Lorena y llevo aproximadamente mes y medio muerta. Los lectores más expertos estarán pensando que cuando digo que estoy muerta, lo digo en sentido figurado, utilizando una metáfora exagerada y morbosa, pero de las metáforas no me va nada. A mí me gustar llamar a las cosas por su nombre y que se me entienda. Y si digo que estoy muerta, lo que quiero decir es exactamente que estoy muerta. Muerta y enterrada, para ser más precisos. Lo que ocurre es que no tengo ni idea de por qué ni para qué estoy aún aquí. Por no saber, no sé ni cómo acabé muerta...
Si no te veo antes
by Eric LindstromParker Grant no necesita usar los ojos para ver cómo eres. Por eso creó las reglas: no la trates de distinta manera por ser ciega, y NUNCA te aproveches de ella. No habrá segundas oportunidades. Si no, pregúntale a Scott Kilpatrick, el chico que le rompió el corazón. No me tomes el pelo. Nunca. Y mucho menos a costa de mi ceguera. Y muchísimo menos en público. No me ayudes a menos que te lo pida. De lo contrario, te estarás interponiendo en mi camino o molestándome. No te sorprendas. En serio. Aparte de tener los ojos siempre cerrados, soy igual que tú, solo que más lista. Cuando Parker vuelve a encontrarse con Scott años después de separarse, solo puede reaccionar de una manera: ignorándole a rabiar. Ya tiene suficiente con lo suyo: entrar en el equipo de atletismo (sus ojos no funcionan, pero sus piernas sí), aconsejar a sus ingenuos compañeros sobre sus desastres amorosos, y apuntarseun tanto por cada día que pasa sin llorar la muerte de su padre. Pero evitar el pasado es imposible y, cuanto más descubre sobre lo que ocurrió (con su padre y con Scott), más empieza a preguntarse si las cosas son como parecen. Quizá hay reglas que podemos saltarnos de vez en cuando, ¿no? Con una historia cautivadora y optimista, y una protagonista arrebatadora, Si no te veo antes ilumina los puntos ciegos que todos tenemos en la vida.
