INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Jacqueline Woodson's National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner is a powerful memoir that tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse. A President Obama O Book Club pick Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child's soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson's eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become. Includes 7 additional poems, including Brown Girl Dreaming. Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: Ms. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery."--The New York Times Book Review

Roja siempre trabaja sola. No solo porque se ha convertido en la cazarrecompensas con los métodos menos ortodoxos de los Tres Reinos, sino porque esconde demasiados secretos. Entre ellos, una bestia que cada día, al salir el sol, la transforma en un ser violento e incontrolable. Cuando los habitantes de Fabel convocan una asamblea clandestina para acabar con el Hada Madrina, la villana que conjuró la bruma que les ha hecho olvidar todo lo que fueron, nadie espera que aparezca Roja. Allí se encuentra también Lobo, un hombre alto, moreno y de intensos ojos amarillos que la tienta con un reto casi imposible: aniquilar ella misma a la tirana. Movida por el odio hacia la mirada desafiante de Lobo o por la culpabilidad de algunos actos impunes del pasado, Roja acepta. Pero eso implicará viajar junto a él y a otros compañeros que ocultan tantos o más que ella… Un viaje por un mundo de cuento de hadas en el que nada es tal y como lo recuerdas. Una travesía en la que el odio visceral entre Roja y Lobo se irá convirtiendo en una pasión feroz.
