Gullstruck Island
by Frances HardingeFrom the award-winning author, “a breathtaking journey of revenge and redemption that pits a stubborn, devoted girl against an unknown evil” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).On Gullstruck Island, legend has it that the mountain ranges and volcanoes are in charge. Anger them, and you’ll pay the price. Keep them happy, and you’ll enjoy their protection. These stories of the land’s command come in handy for quiet, near-invisible Hathin when she must run for her life. Hathin’s sister, Arilou, is believed to be a Lost. The Lost are held nearly sacred by those on Gullstruck, for they can send their senses away from their bodies. If Lost, Arilou can read a message across the island. If Lost, Arilou can hear whispers in the corners of private rooms. If Lost, Arilou can smell bread baking in the governor’s mansion. All from her beachside hut. But the question remains: Is Arilou really a Lost? When all the Lost drop dead, except Arilou, she and Hathin are swept into a grand conspiracy that leads them to the most sinister depths—and heights—of the island.“Filled with sentient volcanoes, gem-studded teeth, villains, heroes, revenge, love, and the world’s most frightening dentist, this is a book to rival The Princess Bride in scope, adventure, and excitement. It’s Hardinge’s magnum opus. One that I dearly hope both kids and adults enjoy in equal measure.” —A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal“Delightfully inventive . . . Ripe, rollicking, and endlessly creative.” —The Guardian“A luminous example of gifted storytelling at its best.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Las dos chicas se mudan de la ciudad de Nueva York a un pequeño pueblo de montaña en el oeste de Maryland, donde les han entregado dos propiedades que pertenecían al padre de Mandy, a quien nunca conocieron. Las cosas se complican para Sunny cuando su hermana pequeña anhela continuar con su formación de ballet. La niña es una bailarina excepcionalmente talentosa y una pequeña superestrella natural, carismática e irresistible, mientras que Sunny es una chica tranquila, estudiosa y trabajadora que aún no está segura de la dirección que tomará su vida. Con la ayuda capaz de los muchos nuevos amigos que las hermanas han conocido en el pequeño pueblo, además de sus buenos amigos en la ciudad de Nueva York, Sunny deja de lado sus propios intereses y metas para manejar la carrera de Mandy. Sin embargo, se consuela y se da cuenta de su posible destino, a través de excursiones tranquilas y solitarias a una pequeña casa en el bosque llamada «La Cabaña», una de las propiedades que se les dio a las dos chicas. Aquí descubre las maravillas naturales del bosque circundante y la incomprensible cantidad de estrellas en el profundo cielo nocturno. El doble misterio de «La Guirnalda» se revela cerca del final de la novela. Una parte del misterio tiene mucho sentido para Sunny, mientras que está completamente asombrada por un segundo significado más personal. «Lo que disfruté de «La Guirnalda» fue la falta de tensión y confusión habituales que se espera en la mayoría de las novelas. Seguí esperando alguna controversia real o el bien contra el mal, pero lo que recibí fue un sentimiento de paz donde los personajes actuaron desde su naturaleza superior. Fue reconfortante. Fue, es, bastante encantadora». - Mark Haberstroh
