by Alys MarínPor pretender evitar no repetir los mismos errores provocará que se reincida. Borja compendió que el amor es algo más doloroso de lo que le mostraba las películas románticas, que su primer romance fracasó tan abruptamente que todavía llora por esa joven de bonitos ojos azules. Creía que sería la mujer de su vida, que pasaría la eternidad con esa inteligente muchacha y no fue así. Su primer y gran error. Con el corazón roto no desea volver a apostar por algo sin tener con seguridad la victoria asegurada, pese a recordar un beso que recibió cuando lloraba desconsolado por su antiguo noviazgo.

Erinnerung reloaded?: (Re-)Inszenierungen des kulturellen Gedächtnisses in Kinder- und Jugendmedien (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #7)
by Ingrid Tomkowiak Gabriele Von Glasenapp Andre KagelmannDer Band lotet die Bedingungen des Erinnerns und Erzählens und damit einer Re-Inszenierung der Vergangenheit im Feld der Kinder- und Jugendmedien aus. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf das Spannungsfeld von ‚objektiver‘ Geschichtswissenschaft einerseits und Dichtung andererseits gelegt, angesiedelt zwischen den Polen Referenzialität und einem neuen Interesse am vermeintlich Authentischen sowie der Fiktionalisierung von Fakten. Dieser Widerspruch ist von besonderer Bedeutung für die geschichtserzählenden Kinder- und Jugendmedien mit ihrem spezifischen Funktionsrahmen von ästhetischer und pädagogischer Horizontbildung und -erweiterung. Neben den traditionellen kinder- und jugendliterarischen Erinnerungsmedien – erzählende Literatur, historische und zeitgeschichtliche Romane, (autofiktionale) Biographien – sowie Drama und Lyrik werden Bilderbücher, Comics, Filme, Serien und Computerspiele in den Blick genommen.
Erik el Rojo: El vikingo que descubrió América
by Tulio Fernández Mendoza"Un libro con un secreto milenario que nos hará cuestionar la historia del encuentro entre dos mundos". Esteban Cruz Niño Esta es la historia del explorador noruego Erik el Rojo, un hombre marcado por la sangre y el exilio, y destinado por los dioses vikingos a empujar las fronteras y las convenciones sociales de su tiempo. Esta es también la historia del sabio Mimir, hermano adoptivo y amigo incondicional de Erik, quien narra sus aventuras y las de sus descendientes, ilustrándolas con antiguos relatos nórdicos. Pero, sobre todo, esta es la historia del primer encuentro con el Nuevo Mundo, que maravilló a los nórdicos quinientos años antes de Cristóbal Colón, un evento conocido por pocos y narrado aquí con el encanto de las viejas sagas "Una lectura original, tan apasionante como divertida, con un novedoso acercamiento a los relatos tradicionales de mitología nórdica".

Era como mi sombra
by Pilar Lozano"Las noches de guardia nos embelesábamos mirando hacia arriba, esperando siempre una lluvia de estrellas. Bonito: están bien campantes en el cielo y, de repente, empiezan a caerse acá, allá, por todo lado. Imaginar que las atrapábamos y las guardábamos en el morral resultaba divertido. Sí, las estrellas nos hacían olvidar del trajín del día y dejar a un lado pensamientos amargos". Como muchos niños campesinos en Colombia, el anónimo protagonista de esta historia crece en medio de la guerra y la precariedad. Su tío será su mentor y su maestra, su madrina. Pero cuando el tío muere y el joven no ve cómo continuar sus estudios, toma -no sin resquemor- el único camino que le queda: unirse a un grupo guerrillero. Su mejor amigo, Julián, quien vive una situación aún más apremiante, sigue sus pasos y termina haciendo el mayor sacrificio que una amistad en la guerra puede exigir. En Era como mi sombra el lector se internará en un relato poético, contundente y desgarrador sobre las infancias vulneradas por el conflicto armado. Pero, más importante aún, será testigo de una amistad poderosa, capaz de burlar la muerte y vencer a cualquier ejército.
Equipping Space Cadets: Primary Science Fiction for Young Children (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Emily MidkiffWinner of the 2023 Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) Book Award2022 Longlist Nominee for the Best Non-Fiction Award from the British Science Fiction AssociationEquipping Space Cadets: Primary Science Fiction for Young Children argues for the benefits and potential of “primary science fiction,” or science fiction for children under twelve years old. Science fiction for children is often disregarded due to common misconceptions of childhood. When children are culturally portrayed as natural and simple, they seem like a poor audience for the complex scientific questions brought up by the best science fiction. The books and the children who read them tell another story. Using three empirical studies and over 350 children’s books including If I Had a Robot Dog, Bugs in Space, and Commander Toad in Space, Equipping Space Cadets presents interdisciplinary evidence that science fiction and children are compatible after all. Primary science fiction literature includes many high-quality books that cleverly utilize the features of children’s literature formats in order to fit large science fiction questions into small packages. In the best of these books, authors make science fiction questions accessible and relevant to children of various reading levels and from diverse backgrounds and identities. Equipping Space Cadets does not stop with literary analysis, but also presents the voices of real children and practitioners. The book features three studies: a survey of teachers and librarians, quantitative analysis of lending records from school libraries across the United States, and coded read-aloud sessions with elementary school students. The results reveal how children are interested in and capable of reading science fiction, but it is the adults, including the most well-intentioned librarians and teachers, who hinder children's engagement with the genre due to their own preconceptions about the genre and children.
