INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

When professional hockey player Sig Gauthier’s car breaks down and his phone dies, he treks into a posh private country club to call a tow truck, where he encounters the alluring Chloe Clifford, the manic pixie dream girl who captivates him immediately with her sense of adventure and penchant for stealing champagne. Sparks fly during a moonlight kiss and the enamored pair can’t wait to see each other again, but when Sig finally arrives to meet his dad’s new girlfriend over dinner, Chloe is confusingly also there. Turns out the girlfriend is Chloe’s mother. Oh, and they’re engaged. Sig’s dream girl is his future stepsister. Though the pair is now wary of being involved romantically, Chloe, a sheltered harp prodigy, yearns to escape her controlling mother. Sig promises to teach her the ins and outs of independence in Boston―a lesson in forced proximity that keeps them agonizingly close, but not inside his bedroom. In this forbidden romance, they both know there can never be more than friendship between a famous hockey player and his high-society, soon-to-be stepsister. But keeping their relationship platonic grows harder amid the developing family drama, especially knowing they were meant for so much more…

El mundo no se acabó aquel día. Pero la vida de Clara Nox, tal y como la conocía, sí. Clara tiene 13 años, vive en Nueva York y estudia en un instituto tan elitista que incluso la directora la desprecia con elegancia. Su día a día era igual de emocionante que una tostada sin mantequilla. Hasta que empezó a circular un rumor: que el fin del mundo se acercaba. Y entonces llegaron los apagones. El caos. Y los monstruos. Sí, monstruos. Reales. Aunque casi nadie pareció notarlos. Clara sí, por supuesto. Sin instrucciones y con más miedo del que le gusta admitir, Clara tendrá que aprender a enfrentarse a un mundo que ya no es el mismo. Y eso es solo el principio.

Seventh grader Jackson “Jax” Freeman recently learned two important facts: one, he’s a summoner—someone who can call on the magical powers of his ancestors to help him do amazing things—and two, he isn’t the only person with this ability. After much training, Jax and four of his summoner classmates from DuSable Middle school in Chicago are thrust into a competition called the Tournament of Spirits where they’ll face the most skilled summoners from around the world. But while everyone is focused on winning, Jax is given a special side quest by the elders of the four magical families: he has to spy on each of the competitors—including his own teammates—in order to uncover who is releasing endangered, and very dangerous, cryptids into the arena. Can Jax take the top spot in the tournament and save himself and his friends from a mysterious foe?
