«Nunca antes el dicho de «el que no arriesga, no gana» había tenido tanto sentido. María y Tomás son los protagonistas de una historia principalmente de amor donde el riesgo les hizo ganar.» María Pombo María y Tomás han conectado a la primera. Pueden pasar horas y horas hablando sobre sueños o cómo cambiar el mundo. Cuando están juntos la magia flota en el aire, aunque ellos sean los últimos en enterarse. Pero ni la vida es un camino de rosas ni este libro es un cuento de hadas. Ellos lo descubrirán enseguida. Como también descubrirán el dolor, el temor, la amistad y, sobre todo, el amor. Esta es una historia de decisiones difíciles, de hacerse mayor de golpe, de realidades que nunca se soñaron y de ilusiones que se cumplen a base de tesón. Pero también es una historia sobre el valor de tomar las riendas de tu propia vida. Botas de colores para días de lluvia te invita a disfrutar del sol tras la tormenta.

In this entertaining young readers edition of the environmental studies classic, Michael Pollan demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a reciprocal relationship. He links four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, energy, and control—with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, coffee, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind’s most basic yearnings. And just as we’ve benefited from these plants, we have also helped them to thrive.

Reese Annesley was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant leaving a message for her best friend to save her from her awful date, when a gorgeous stranger overhears and offers her some dating advice. She proceeds to tell him to mind his own damn business his own tall, handsome, full-of-himself damn business and goes back to her miserable date, though she can't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he catches her―and winks. When Chase Parker and his equally hot date suddenly appear at Reese's table, she's sure he's going to rat her out. But instead, he pretends he and Reese are old friends and joins them, telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about their fake childhood. And her date suddenly goes from boring to bizarrely exciting.
