INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

El porvenir de la magia está en juego. El aquelarre de Madrid se prepara para la elección de una nueva Dama y la firma del Tratado con los nigromantes. Sin embargo, no todo el mundo está dispuesto a aceptar la paz tan fácilmente. Cal, nuevo líder de los nigromantes, se enfrenta a quienes ansían su cargo a la vez que lucha contra la siniestra voz que le habla en su cabeza. Mientras tanto, Sabele y sus amigas intentan recuperar la normalidad con un viaje de verano a Edimburgo para asistir al FREF, un famoso festival que reúne a brujas de todo el mundo para celebrar el Lugnasad, y allí, para su horror, se encuentra a Luc, que hace meses que no le responde las llamadas. Está más que dispuesta a olvidarse de él, pero la magia tiene otros planes para ella en la tierra donde moran Kelpies, fantasmas y feéricos. En Escocia descubrirán lo peligroso que es entregar tu corazón a la persona equivocada y confiar en las tentadoras promesas de las hadas.

Pssst! Hey. I’m here to tell ya what the furniture police don’t want you to know… Listen close. I’ll explain everything. Most people think couches are just for sitting, or maybe napping, and don’t give it a second thought. But did you know couches can go berserk if you don’t feed them a steady diet of coins, cell phones, and remote controls? And did you know some couches are grown on a farm? (Where do you think the term couch potato comes from?) Some come from two chairs who love each other very much, and some are actually aliens in disguise. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg… This laugh-out-loud send-up of conspiracy theories brings Adam Rubin’s trademark zany humor together with the richly expressive artwork of Macanudo creator Liniers to explore the totally, completely true (really! maybe?) history of the world’s most beloved—and misunderstood—item of furniture.

Max Bretzfeld doesn’t want to move to London. Leaving home is hard and Max is alone for the first time in his life. But not for long. Max is surprised to discover that he’s been joined by two unexpected traveling companions, one on each shoulder, a kobold and a dybbuk named Berg and Stein. Germany is becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish families, but Max is determined to find a way back home, and back to his parents. He has a plan to return to Berlin. It merely involves accomplishing the impossible: becoming a British spy. The first book in a duology, Max in the House of Spies is a thought-provoking World War II story as only acclaimed storyteller Adam Gidwitz can tell it—fast-paced and hilarious, with a dash of magic and a lot of heart.
