INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

El mar está en peligro, y Tex Patton es el elegido para salvarlo. Adéntrate en esta trepidante novela repleta de aventuras, superpoderes y espectaculares criaturas marinas. A sus trece años, Tex Patton parece un chico normal. Es cierto que, desde niño, es capaz de predecir las tormentas con asombrosa exactitud. O de saber dónde hay que cavar para encontrar un pozo subterráneo, pero jamás se hubiera imaginado el poder que se esconde en su interior y que, este verano, va aflorar con toda su intensidad. La muerte de su padre en extrañas circunstancias y los experimentos previos a su fallecimiento han provocado una extraña mutación en su ADN capaz de convertirle en un ser anfibio que no solo puede sumergirse en lo más profundo del océano, comprender el lenguaje de las criaturas del mar o nadar a velocidades asombrosas, sino que podrá controlar la esencia misma del agua. El océano está en peligro, y él es el elegido para ganar la batalla contra el plástico. Tex comenzará un viaje para tratar de descifrar su verdadera naturaleza, la especial relación que mantiene con el agua y cumplir la misión que le ha sido encomendada: hacer llegar a la humanidad un mensaje de advertencia y salvar el océano de la destrucción.

Last summer, Alice Ogilvie’s basketball-star boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days. She's not talking, so where she went and what happened to her is the biggest mystery in Castle Cove. Or it was, at least. But now, another one of Steve’s girlfriends has vanished: Brooke Donovan, Alice’s ex–best friend. And it doesn’t look like Brooke will be coming back. . . Enter Iris Adams, Alice’s tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesn’t have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brooke’s grandmother is offering to anyone who can share information about her granddaughter’s whereabouts. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit, but Alice isn’t so sure, and with Iris on her side, she just might be able to prove her theory. In order to get the reward and prove Steve’s innocence, they need to figure out who killed Brooke Donovan. And luckily Alice has exactly what they need—the complete works of Agatha Christie. If there’s anyone that can teach the girls how to solve a mystery it’s the master herself. But the town of Castle Cove holds many secrets, and Alice and Iris have no idea how much danger they're about to walk into.
