Presto, Hailey viene raggiunta dal suo cuginetto più grande, Isaiah. Insieme si renderanno conto che anche i bambini più piccoli sono stati catapultati attraverso lo spazio e il tempo, essendo scomparsi e probabilmente in pericolo. La corsa per trovare i più piccoli si concluderà nella città sotto l’albero di Natale del loro nonno, dove riscopriranno il vero significato del Natale e dell’amore reciproco.

The Death of Philip Wires
by Diego Juffe BignoliAt the height of his career, the richest man on Earth, Philip Wires, decides to commit suicide in a grand farewell. Quentin Duncan, an insurance specialist going through a hard time, must find proof to prevent the astronomical life insurance policy taken out by the deceased tycoon from being implemented – something seemingly impossible in light of the facts. A detective novel that unfolds in an extravagant future. Frenzied, fun and covertly critical, it transports you through a succession of events in which the characters are comically on the verge of madness and misfortune. In the vein of classics like ‘Bill, the Galactic Hero’, the narrative leaps like the rapids of a river between the stones towards a surprising final cascade.
