INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Everyone hopes for a letter—to attend the Estuary, the Pines, the Glades. To attend the Meadows. These are the secret places where only the best and brightest go, to learn to burn even brighter. When Eleanor gets her letter, she knows she’s freed from her hardscrabble life by the sea, in a country ravaged by climate disaster and war. But despite the Meadows’ luminous facilities, endless fields, and pretty things, it keeps a dark secret: its purpose is to reform the students inside, to condition them against their attractions, to show them that one way of life is the only way to survive. Anything else, they’re told, will topple a society already on the brink of collapse. Five years later, Eleanor is an adjudicator, making sure the Meadows’ former students don't stray from the life they’ve been conditioned to live. But Eleanor can't escape her past, or thoughts of the girl she once loved. Because that girl isn't here anymore. What happened to her could be no one but Eleanor's fault. And as secrets emerge that set Eleanor on a dangerous but determined search for the truth, she knows if she's not careful, it could be her fate too.

Callum ya no está. Su mente ha desaparecido para siempre contagiada por la bacteria que portan todos los hombres. Pero no se ha ido del todo. Su cuerpo sigue ahí, justo frente a ella, recordándole lo maravilloso que fue conocerle, enamorarse de él y lo terrible que ha sido perderle. Amanda siente que le ha fallado a Callum. No ha podido salvarle de su sociedad sexista que quiere a los hombres como esclavos. Como si sus pensamientos fueran poca tortura, tiene a Callum justo frente a ella, recordándole a diario que le ha perdido. ¿Cómo puede superar su pérdida si tiene al hombre que ama justo frente a ella? Pero sus ojos ya no son los mismos. Su mirada ahora está vacía como la de cualquier otro hombre. ¿Qué puede hacer una mujer sola contra toda su sociedad para salvar al hombre que ama? No solo eso? ¿Qué puede hacer ella sola para terminar con una esclavitud sexista que después de conocer a Callum ve como una aberración contra los derechos humanos? A veces la guerra es la única respuesta.

Don’t be fooled. . . . Charm House isn’t like any other charm school. Charm stands for Center for Human-Animal Reform and Manners. Every girl who boards there has an animal light inside her that is wild and needs to be tamed. New girl Sadie just wants to stay out of trouble and blend in.

Soon Sadie is consumed by social drama and her secret feelings for an off-limits private-school boy. Charm House is supposed to protect them, but danger looms when someone starts to threaten the girls. Is the school in jeopardy—or is someone trying to tear the Pack apart?
