Lua Prata
by Rebecca A. Rogers Isabel NigriPara Candra Lowell, uma garota de dezessete anos de idade, o último ano do ensino médio deveria ser a melhor época de sua vida. Não deveria incluir ser despachada para a casa de seus tios para seu 'próprio bem'. O que quer que isso seja. Só tem más notícias dessa experiência - quando ela descobre que irá de humana para lobisomem em alguns meses. Juntando isso com um poder único herdado. Na casa de seus tios, Candra é aterrorizada por pesadelos de uma floresta sussurrante e olhos brilhantes, e um vulto sombrio, que lhe deixa um aviso - ela precisa sair da cidade. Candra tenta ignorar as imagens assombrantes, mas quando o vulto sombrio aparece do lado de fora de sua casa, Candra percebe que deveria ter obedecido. Candra descobre o significado dos avisos do perseguidor quando descobre que é o novo alvo favorito de uma matilha rival. Ela não é somente um lobisomem - ela é um lobisomem no meio de uma guerra que faz com que os Montéquios e os Capuletos pareçam melhores amigos. Ela também fez as coisas ficarem ainda piores ao se apaixonar por seu pior inimigo. Além disso, a matilha rival quer o poder que Candra receberá no seu aniversário de dezoito. Para proteger seus amigos e sua família, Candra não pode correr ou fugir; ela deve encarar seus inimigos, mesmo que isso signifique a morte.
Luka and the Fire of Life
by Salman RushdieOn a beautiful starry night in the city of Kahani in the land of Alifbay a terrible thing happened: twelve-year-old Luka's storyteller father, Rashid, fell suddenly and inexplicably into a sleep so deep that nothing and no one could rouse him. To save him from slipping away entirely, Luka must embark on a journey through the Magic World, encountering a slew of phantasmagorical obstacles along the way, to steal the Fire of Life, a seemingly impossible and exceedingly dangerous task. With Haroun and the Sea of Stories Salman Rushdie proved that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables, and it proved to be one of his most popular books with readers of all ages. While Haroun was written as a gift for his first son, Luka and the Fire of Life, the story of Haroun's younger brother, is a gift for his second son on his twelfth birthday. Lyrical, rich with word-play, and with the narrative tension of the classic quest stories, this is Salman Rushdie at his very best.

Lunar Park (Vintage Contemporaries Ser.)
by Bret Easton EllisUna novela vertiginosa e hipnotizante en la que el enfant terrible de la literatura norteamericana arremete contra su propia biografia. Imagine que se convierte en un autor de gran éxito cuando todavía es universitario. Fama y millones de dólares difuminan la muerte inmediata de su insufrible padre. Fiestas glamurosas en Manhattan, sexo y drogas le sumergen en la vorágine de la autodestrucción. Imagine que poco después tiene una segunda oportunidad, como le sucede a Bret Easton Ellis en Lunar Park: una nueva vida junto a su esposa y sus hijos en un idílico barrio residencial. Sin embargo, todo esto puede cambiar... En una fatídica fiesta de Halloween, Bret Easton Ellis cree ver a uno de sus personajes de ficción más temibles conduciendo un coche como el de su padre, mientras, en la habitación de su hijastra, una muñeca ha cobrado vida. Extrañamente, la casa desprende una atmósfera fantasmal y en el exterior las cosas no parecen ir mejor: se suceden una serie de asesinatos y desapariciones de niños de la misma edad que su hijo. Lunar Park es una obra excepcional en la que se confunden realidad y ficción, y en ella el enfant terrible de la literatura americana arremete contra su propia biografía. Reseñas:«He aquí un libro que avanza desde la oscuridad y la banalidad hacia la luz y la epifanía con una fuerza y seguridad sorprendentes.»Stephen King «Un libro inquietante y real [...] El primer capítulo es la prueba de que no tiene desperdicio, que es droga dura y que, contra el olvido que le auguraran los detractores del escritor, Easton sigue en forma.»Nuria Labari, El Mundo «Adictiva, sublime, exquisita, brillantemente ejecutada [...] Una fantasmagórica fusión de amor y pérdida, de alucinaciones y sabiduría.»The New York Times «En Lunar Park, Ellis supera la frontera de la metaficción introduciéndonos en un modelo narrativo que bien pudiéramos denominar como "psycho-ficción". Las evocaciones que sugiere son tan numerosas como heterogéneas.»José Antonio Gurpegui, El Cultural «Lunar Park es una novela tremendamente entretenida, propulsada por un humor festivo completamente ausente en la escritura de la generación de escritores americanos que sucedió a Ellis.»Matt Thorne, The Independent «Una lectura hipnotizante [...] Verdaderamente aterradora [...] Lunar Park es una historia acerca de ese dolor transcendental que los padres infligen a sus hijos [...] El peor tipo de violencia es aquella que es interna y emocional, y en las bellas páginas finales de esta rica y compleja novela se demuestra que también es el tipo más dañino.»The Miami Herald

Against an Army. ***** Unlike many high school heroines in fantasy books, I always knew I was not ordinary. Far from it. Since I was two, I have been seeing angels and demons. Given the gift of battle as a warrior, my role as a slayer often interferes with my role as a normal girl. So no, I was never a typical girl who had just found out she was heir to some magical family or something like that. I've been "gifted" practically all my life. So when my ordinary family moved us to San Francisco to a new school where my father teaches, I didn't think much of the school. Shadowlight Academy, the most exclusive and posh prep academy for the super rich. I thought I would be there to slay the evil like an undercover superhero amongst the ordinary. I just didn't think the ordinary would all be extremely unordinary. Especially the three most popular kids in school, known as the Beautiful Ones. Then there's the hot brooding rebel boy who didn't seem to fit in, too. Everyone here has secrets, and I am determined to find out what, before it kills me...the entire Academy and even the world. *Gone Rogue is the third book in a high school paranormal academy series for mature teens and up.
