INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet. We’re not equipped for life in this desolate winter wasteland. Since I’m the unofficial leader, I head out into the snow to look for help. I find help all right. A big blue horned alien introduces himself in a rather . . . startling way. Vektal says that I'm his mate, his chosen female—and that the reason his chest is purring is because of my presence. He’ll help me and my people survive, but this poses a new problem. If Vektal helps us survive, I’m not sure he’s going to want to let me go.

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck. A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make - and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

¡Tu primer libro para pensar en grande! Explore la importancia de la igualdad con los lectores más jóvenes de una manera maravillosamente accesible. Incluso los niños pequeños tienen grandes preguntas sobre la vida. Simone de Beauvoir centró gran parte de su trabajo en el concepto de igualdad, insistiendo en que las niñas y los niños y las mujeres y los hombres deberían tener las mismas oportunidades para ser felices. Todo el mundo debería tener derecho a ser él mismo y a ser tratado con respeto pase lo que pase. Los niños saldrán de este libro animados a pensar en cómo las mismas cosas pueden hacer felices, tristes o emocionados a niñas y niños, y todos deben escuchar quiénes son por dentro y respetar eso en los demás.
