JUVENILES Y JOVEN ADULTO

¿Quieres que tu vida sea más fácil? Entonces compórtate como el pájaro enjaulado que eres y canta. Viví en una jaula de oro durante diez años, en el castillo de oro del rey Midas. Pero de la noche a la mañana, todo cambió. Ahora soy la prisionera del ejército del Cuarto Reino, y no sé si saldré de esta de una pieza. Los soldados están preparados para dejarse la piel en el campo de batalla y estoy segura de que van a usarme como moneda de cambio, una moneda que apagará el fuego o avivará aún más las llamas de esta cruzada. Sin embargo, lo que más me aterra, lo que más me inquieta, no es la guerra, sino él, el comandante Decapitador. Es un hombre perverso y despiadado, y su crueldad no conoce límites. Pero yo sé la verdad, yo sé qué es en realidad.

Algunas personas consiguen pasar de ser niños a adolescentes con calma y confianza. Pero para la mayoría de la gente esto NO es ASÍ. PARA NADA. ¡Demasiados cambios! El cuerpo se transforma, la vida se complica, las responsabilidades y la presión cada vez son mayores. ¡Y las redes sociales tampoco son de mucha ayuda! ¿Cómo influyen en nuestro día a día? ¿Qué ventajas y desventajas tienen y cómo podemos controlar la manera en que nos afectan? Esta guía detalla las dificultades a las que se enfrentan los adolescentes en la vida real y en la digital, y exploran ideas para encarar algunos problemas que pueden encontrarse: aceptarse a uno mismo, tener hábitos sanos, técnicas de meditación... Un libro para preadolescentes que empiezan a notar cambios en sus vidas y a usar por primera vez las redes sociales.

Princesses Daphne, Beatriz, and Sophronia have trained their entire lives for one purpose: to bring down nations. Their mother, Empress Margaraux of Bessemia, is determined to rule the continent of Vesteria, and her daughters are her weapons. Promised for marriage since birth, they are her ticket across enemy lines. And also her decoys. Still, not even Empress Margaraux can control the stars. Sent to their new kingdoms, orders in hand, the princesses have found their own paths, changing the course of their mother’s plans entirely—and tragically. Sophronia chose love, and for that, she lost her life.  Daphne and Beatriz can hardly believe their sister is dead, but both are determined to avenge her. And now, separated by a continent—and their mother’s lies—they see more clearly with every passing day that they might not be working toward the same end. The stars whisper of death, but Daphne and Beatriz are just beginning to understand the true power coursing through their veins. And their mother will do anything to keep them under her thumb—even if it means killing them all.

Under One Roof An environmental engineer discovers that scientists should never cohabitate when she finds herself stuck with the roommate from hell—a detestable big-oil lawyer who won’t leave the thermostat alone.   Stuck with You A civil engineer and her nemesis take their rivalry—and love—to the next level when they get stuck in a New York elevator.   Below Zero A NASA aerospace engineer's frozen heart melts as she lies injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station and the only person willing to undertake the dangerous rescue mission is her longtime rival.

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

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.
