INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Digz the Dog is certain that he is the king of Ms. Pincher's garden. There's just one problem . . . Zurl the Squirrel is positive that she is the queen of Ms. Pincher's Garden. As a dog and a squirrel, the two are natural enemies. But there's more to Digz and Zurl than meets the eye. Digz was once a lonely dog left at the pound.

Mari never gave much thought to the afterlife before her untimely demise, but she certainly didn’t think it would be an experimental wellness enclave called Paradise Gate—a place where the newly dead go to sort out the unfinished business of their lives. She also didn’t think the biggest problem to plague her in life would follow her into the great beyond: her also recently deceased mother, Faye. Mari quickly realizes Faye is her unfinished business, and in order to move on to whatever’s next, she’ll have to find a way to forgive her dysfunctional mother for being no mother at all. But there’s so much to forgive: never holding down a steady job, never having a stable home, and abandoning Mari in the end.

Conmovedora y optimista, una historia familiar que se inscribe en la lista de las mejores novelas autobiográficas de nuestro tiempo. Inspirada en la infancia de la propia autora, ¡Vuela, abejorro! nos traslada a la Viena de 1945 y nos cuenta el día a día de aquella convulsa época desde la mirada inquieta e inocente de su protagonista. La reconocida autora Christine Nöstlinger cuenta en esta obra la historia de una niña de ocho años cuya familia se muda a las afueras de la ciudad, después de que una bomba destruyera el piso en el que vivían. En el nuevo barrio, conocerá a algunos soldados rusos que se instalan en su casa y que no son para nada como ella creía, especialmente Cohn, un cocinero muy peculiar con quien la pequeña entabla una entrañable amistad. Con la guerra como trasfondo, la protagonista nos muestra a través de su inteligente e ingeniosa mirada cómo ha sido crecer entre los escombros de la Viena de los años cuarenta, las dificultades y temores de la vida cotidiana... Pero ¡Vuela, abejorro! es también una historia de amistad y humanidad que, con un peculiar sentido del humor, demuestra que aún en la situación más dramática es posible encontrar aliados, reír y disfrutar de la naturaleza y del lado luminoso de la vida.
