NOVEDADES

It’s Greg’s birthday—and you’re invited to the chaos. In Partypooper, the 20th book in Jeff Kinney’s global smash-hit Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Greg Heffley is planning the ultimate party—for himself. But when the guest list grows, the decorations flop, and the surprises backfire, this birthday bash turns into a total blowout—just not the kind Greg had in mind.

Cuanto más cruenta y violenta es una noticia, más llama la atención: La sangre manda. Así reza la máxima periodística que hará que Holly Gibney, la detective a la que Bill Hodges legó su agencia Finders Keepers, y que ya apareció en la trilogía Bill Hodges y en El visitante, se interese por la matanza en el instituto Albert Macready y acabe enganchada a las noticias. Esta vez deberá luchar contra lo que más teme... sola. En «El teléfono del señor Harrigan» una amistad entre dos personas de distintas edades perdura de manera más que inquietante. La vida de Chuck nos ofrece una hermosa reflexión acerca de la existencia de cada uno de nosotros. Y en La rata un escritor desesperado se enfrenta al lado más oscuro de la ambición. Cuatro relatos en los que Stephen King sorprende nuevamente a los lectores y los conduce a lugares intrigantes y sobrecogedores.

After being fired for taking an uncharacteristic risk at her commodities trading job, Bea Macon sublets her New York apartment and books a one-way ticket to stay with her mother, Christy, a free spirit who has been living in Salt Lake City on Bea’s dime. Usually the responsible one, Bea isn’t about to admit exactly why she’s suddenly decided to visit, but she isn’t the only one keeping secrets: Christy has a man. She has a map. She has . . . a username on a forum devoted to unearthing $1 million in buried treasure hidden somewhere in the western US? Bea is convinced this is just another one of her mother’s wild larks. But Christy believes she’s onto something—and she’s arranged a rendezvous in a rural town called Mercy with the guy she’s been obsessively trading theories with online to prove it. Out in the desert that one woman believes to be a promised land, the other a wasteland, Bea and Christy find themselves embroiled in a more high-stakes, transformative escapade than either could have imagined.
