INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Los pandas del Reino del Bambú no han olvidado la gran inundación que terminó con la armonía de sus vidas. Pero, para los tres jóvenes que nacieron ese día, la inundación no marca un final sino el principio de la lucha para encontrar su lugar en mundos muy distintos. Hoja, criada en el empobrecido Bosque del Norte, trabaja sin descanso para ayudar a su familia a recolectar bambú. La temperamental Lluvia, por su parte, se niega a aceptar al nuevo líder de su comunidad en el Bosque del Sur. Y Fantasma, torpe y descoordinado, se pregunta si algún día encajará en su familia de cazadores. Ninguno sabe nada de los otros dos, pero, gracias a un misterioso tigre que ha estado amenazando al reino, pronto se conocerán y cumplirán una profecía que data de antes de su nacimiento.

¡HOLA! Me llamo JIMMY y ahora mismo estoy viviendo un APOCALIPSIS ZOMBI de lo más friki. Todos los adultos de mi ciudad, Birriavilla, se han convertido en zombis, pero no en zombis devoracerebros como los de las pelis. ¡Estos zombis son VACAS! ¡De las de verdad! ¡Van por ahí haciendo mu y babeando a saco! Y, cuidado, porque si te babean encima estás listo. Pero no listo en plan superdotado, precisamente...Por suerte, ¡mis amigos y yo tenemos un plan para salvar el mundo!

La vida de Julieta cambia rotundamente cuando en su camino se cruza Nicole. Niki se muestra segura, carismática, audaz, y, después de deslumbrar a Juli en el primer encuentro, se convierte en su compañera de clase y en su nueva mejor amiga. Así comienza un vínculo que se tornará intenso, y que irá asfixiando a Juli, desdibujándola, convirtiéndola en un apéndice. Y aunque las mejores amigas juran contárselo todo, Julieta sospecha que Niki le oculta algo muy grave. Ella necesita recuperarse, volver a rearmar su existencia, pero también descubrir qué es lo que está escondiendo Nicole. «Nuestra amistad es un cúmulo de sensaciones en blanco y negro. Es un contraste permanente entre la alegría y la pena. Entre la contención y el abandono. Entre la felicidad extrema de sentirme única y valiosa cuando me relata un secreto, y la angustia lacerante cuando Niki se enoja y se aleja».

After their high school graduation, former best friends Cass and Syd are gearing up for their futures. Cass has planned to go to college to become an engineer, while Syd—despite the fact that her family thinks she’s messed up her whole life—has lined up a sound internship at a historic music venue.   But Cass is keeping secrets. Though his dad has forbidden it, Cass has been playing music, taking trips to San Francisco BART stations to play and make money. Somehow, it’s become a way for Cass to connect with his mother—who was also a musician—who died in a drunk driving accident on the way back from a gig when he was one.   But after Syd catches Cass playing at the BART station, and Cass finds out his mom’s old band the Darlas is going on a reunion tour, everything changes. On impulse, Cass invites Syd to the first Darlas show, and without telling anyone, they make a break for it. Turning one show into a cross-country journey, the two former friends throw away all their plans for the future and embark on a life-altering road trip following the tour, keeping it a secret from their friends and family.   Along the way, they’ll untangle the messy threads of how they became “ex”-best friends, experience the power of nature and music, and decide what they really want their lives to be. Maybe, through it all, Cass and Syd can find a way back to each other, too.
