Instead, he sets off, young and inexperienced, for New York City. <p><p> Davy gradually learns to use and control his powers, first for sheer survival in an environment more violent and complex than he ever imagined. But mere survival is not enough for Davy. He wants to know if his mother disappeared so completely from his life because she, too, could Jump. And as he searches for a trace of anyone else with powers like his own, he learns to use his abilities for more than escape and theft. <p> A young man with nothing to lose, and the ability to go anyplace he wants, can help a lot of people. But he can also make a lot of trouble, and sooner or later trouble is going to come looking for him. The one way Davy can think of to locate others who can Jump is to make himself visible to them, but if he does, the police will surely find him too.

A Fighting Man of Mars: Barsoom Book Vii (Classics To Go)
by Edgar BorroughsThe story is purportedly relayed back to earth via the Gridley Wave, a sort of super radio frequency previously introduced in Tanar of Pellucidar, the third of Burrough's Pellucidar novels, which thus provides a link between the two series. The story-teller is Ulysses Paxton, protagonist of the previous novel, The Master Mind of Mars, but this story is not about him; rather, it is the tale of Tan Hadron of Hastor, a lowly, poor padwar (a low-ranking officer) who is in love with the beautiful, haughty Sanoma Tora, daughter of Tor Hatan, a minor but rich noble. As he is only a padwar, Sanoma spurns him. Then Sanoma Tora is kidnapped, and the novel moves into high gear.(Wikipedia)

Dónde guardar un libro gigante

Mejor: ¡como un gigante en hombros de otro gigante!Me encanta, si bien tiene un gran inconveniente: no hay lugar en casa donde Debí dejarlo en el patio.Es un libro de cuentos clásicos, dijo Papá.

Un murmullo surgió apenas abrí un par de hojas. El de una ballena! ¡Y luego un delfín y peces voladores!Volví a casa muy entusiasmada. Papá me sentó en su regazo y se río con mis zapato al hada madrina de una hacendosa niña ceniza. Esos bravos indios con sus arcos y flechas cabalgando sobre los potros más veloces sobre la pradera interminable de un planeta púrpura.Al final, Papá se puso serio.—No olvides que debes hallar un lugar donde guardar ese libro —me dijo—.Esa es tu responsabilidad.Lo sabía y lo haría, pero no en ese momento. Tenía todavía demasiado por Unos días después, ya sabía entrar y salir velozmente de las historias y pasar sin pausa las enormes páginas. Podía personificar a una capitana en un bergantín volando por los mares del Océano Pacífico. O tal vez disfrazarme de mariposa y suspirar al oído de una niña que un lobo ladino planeaba devorarse a su abuela.También me las arreglaba para ayudar a plantar habichuelas mágicas a un niño que quería robar la gallina millonaria del ogro dormilón.
