INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

¡Elías no para quieto! Le encanta divertirse con sus amigos del cole, pero leer y escribir le cuesta un poco más. No va a rendirse, porque está a punto de descubrir que, trabajando junto a sus compañeros de clase, se puede llegar muy lejos. La finalista del premio Planeta, Cristina Campos, y el ilustrador Luciano Lozano forman un tándem ideal en este cuento para recordarnos el valor de la amistad, el esfuerzo y el trabajo en equipo.

¿Cómo es posible que me duela más una ruptura amorosa que la muerte de un familiar? ¿Por qué lloré tanto el final de la vida de mis perros y no el de la vida de mis abuelos? ¿Cómo puede uno romperse después de una mudanza y sobrevivir, sin mayor complicación, a la pérdida de una amistad que parecía para siempre? El duelo es una de las experiencias más difíciles que experimentamos en la vida, aunque la inercia nos empuja a prestarle poca atención. Sin embargo, hay pérdidas tan dolorosas que nos impiden seguir adelante mientras el mundo sigue girando impasible a nuestro alrededor.

Dani has never been able to use her magic. She feels like half a witch. Without the protection of a coven, she’s lost, and is being hunted by a pack of very aggressive werewolves intent on claiming her for a powerful vampire’s “collection.” When the pack finds her one night, Dani races to the top of her apartment building and chalks a circle on the roof, but her spell mistakenly lands her in the hot spring of a centuries old dragon, Ryker. As this odd pair grows closer, the shapeshifter Ryker soon discovers the secret Dani harbors, and it turns his world upside down.
