INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Theodora, Sherman y Dexter se van a la Gran Manzana a pasar las vacaciones, ¡y no pueden esperar! Sin embargo, si Drácula y mamá pensaron que un viaje al extranjero mantendría a Theodora a salvo de monstruos malvados con intenciones siniestras, estaban equivocados. Porque Nueva York está repleta de Shadowmongers: criaturas sombrías y astutas controladas por el enemigo más siniestro de todos. Un enemigo que no quiere nada más que ver derribada a la Monstruosa Liga de Monstruos... y a Theodora con ella.

Después de enfrentarse a una bruja malvada, un esqueleto-cuervo ladrón y un ejército de muertos vivientes, Theodora Hendrix, una chica de diez años, está segura de que puede manejar cualquier cosa, hasta que conoce al desagradable inspector Shelley y a su aún más desagradable rata mascota. Shelley y Ratsputin han venido a espiar a la Monstruosa Liga de los Monstruos y están decididos a crear problemas en todo momento. Entonces Theodora hace un descubrimiento propio: un escarabajo maldito. Necesita destruirlo sin llamar la atención del inspector, y rápido. Lo que está en juego no podría ser más importante: si Theodora falla, su amada familia de monstruos se pudrirá en las cárceles más húmedas y oscuras de Transilvania.

Wilhelmina Hart is part of the infamous class of 2020. Her high school years began with a shocking presidential election and ended with a pandemic. In the midst of this global turmoil, she also lost one of her beloved aunts, a loss she still feels keenly. Having deferred college, Wilhelmina now lives in a limbo she can see no way out of, like so many of her peers. Wilhelmina’s personal darkness would be unbearable (especially with another monumental election looming) but for the inexplicable and seemingly magical clues that have begun to intrude on her life—flashes of bizarre, ecstatic whimsy that seem to add up to a message she can’t quite grasp. But something tells her she should follow their lead. Maybe a trail of elephants, birds, angels, and stale doughnuts will lead Wilhelmina to a door?

Ramona fell for Sam the moment she met him. It was like she had known him forever. He's one of the few constants in her life, and their friendship is just too important to risk for a kiss.

Still, they complement each other perfectly, both as best friends and as a band. Then they meet Tom. Tom makes music too, and he's the band's missing piece. The three quickly become inseparable. Except Ramona's falling in love with Tom. But she hasn't fallen out of love with Sam either. How can she be true to her feelings and herself without losing the very relationships that make her heart sing?

Thor, mighty thunder god. Loki, trickster without equal. But once, they were kids. And like all kids, they needed … a babysitter! What? No one tells Thor what to do! Not even Sif, trained as a warrior from birth! Not even Fandral, Thor’s best friend, who sees all of Thor’s flaws! To prove that he can take care of himself, Thor decides to go on a Thor Quest. Along for the ride are a secretive Loki, a loyal Fandral, and an annoyed Sif—who has better things to do than watch Thor. They will tackle sea serpents, robot dinosaurs, and—most horribly of all—their own mistakes. Filled with art, comics panels, and wild and hilarious twists, this first book in the new Thor Quest series will keep you flipping its pages and laughing out loud.
