by Fernanda Carrascosa Javier Salazar CalleNdura. Filho da selva. por Javier Salazar Calle Melhor romance do gênero Young Adult de 2014 na Espanha! Quando uma pessoa comum, como qualquer um de nós, se encontra de repente em uma situação de vida ou mote no meio da selva, SABERIA SOBREVIVER? Este é o simples dilema que o protagonista da nossa história apresenta a você. Voltando de umas férias tranquilas na Namíbia, um típico safari fotográfico, ele se vê envolvido em uma inesperada situação de sobrevivência extrema na selva de Ituri, na República do Congo na África, quando o avião em que viajava é derrubado por rebeldes. Um lugar onde a natureza não é o único inimigo e onde sobreviver não é o único problema. Uma aventura que remete aos clássicos de sempre, que fazem deste livro o prato perfeito para fugir da realidade e sentir na pele a angústia e o desespero do protagonista diante do desafio que tem pela frente. Neste livro, misturam-se de forma natural a emoção e a tensão do próprio desafio de sobreviver, a degradação psicológica do protagonista ao longo da história e o profundo estudo do meio, seus animais, plantas e pessoa que o autor realizou. Também nos ensina que nossa percepção de onde estão nossos limites costuma ser errônea, às vezes para o bem e outras para o mal. Sem dúvida, uma leitura recomendável.

Neanderthal Opens The Door To The Universe
by Preston NortonPerfect for fans of John Green and Becky Albertalli, Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe is a "sneakily thought-provoking" and "utterly unforgettable" must-read for every fan of contemporary YA. Cliff Hubbard is a huge loser. Literally. His nickname at Happy Valley High School is Neanderthal because he's so enormous-6'6" and 250 pounds to be exact. He has nobody at school, and life in his trailer-park home has gone from bad to worse ever since his older brother's suicide. There's no one Cliff hates more than the nauseatingly cool quarterback Aaron Zimmerman. Then Aaron returns to school after a near-death experience with a bizarre claim: while he was unconscious he saw God, who gave him a list of things to do to make Happy Valley High suck less. And God said there's only one person who can help: Neanderthal. To his own surprise, Cliff says he's in. As he and Aaron make their way through the List, which involves a vindictive English teacher, a mysterious computer hacker, a decidedly unchristian cult of Jesus Teens, the local drug dealers, and the meanest bully at HVHS, Cliff feels like he's part of something for the first time since losing his brother. But fixing a broken school isn't as simple as it seems, and just when Cliff thinks they've completed the List, he realizes their mission hits closer to home than he ever imagined. Razor sharp, moving, and outrageously funny, Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe is an unforgettable story of finding your place in an imperfect world.

Nearly Nonsense: Hoja Tales from Turkey
by Rina SinghNasrudin Hoja was a mullah (teacher) in Turkey. He was a busy man – he worked in a vineyard, gave sermons at the mosque, and was sometimes even a judge. He did all of this with a nagging wife, a constant stream of uninvited visitors, and many animals. Although Hoja&’s life wasn&’t easy, his heart was always light and his observations about life held a witty twist. For instance, when his donkey got lost, his neighbors offered sympathy, but Hoja found the bright side: &“Imagine if I were riding the donkey at the time. I&’d be lost too!&”Though the ten Hoja stories presented by Rina Singh and richly illustrated by Farida Zaman are funny, each one contains such insight into human nature that Sufi teachers use them to illustrate their teachings. Traditional Turkish Hoja stories are much-loved throughout Asia, and Nearly Nonsense brings them to a North American readership sure to enjoy them and, through laughter, to learn from them.

The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde and Other Stories
by Mary De MorganRediscover a Victorian-era collection of fairy tales. Employing sorcery, a wicked princess wears the princes and kings who desire to marry her as crystal beads strung on a gold chain around her neck. A musician searches the world for his missing wife, unaware that elves have transformed her into the golden harp he plays every day. A determined prince embarks on a quest to find the evil fairy who stole the heart of his beloved princess. These are just a few of the inventive and captivating stories in this fine new edition of Mary De Morgan’s fairy tales, The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde and Other Stories (1880). Despite her fairy tales being well-known and loved during her time, De Morgan has been overlooked by history and largely forgotten. Considered one of the earliest feminist writers, her influential fairy tales often reflected her social and political ideologies, including reform for women. Featuring strong heroines and subverted gender roles, her untraditional stories often eschewed wealth and power, and occasionally ended sadly with no happily-ever-after. Also included in this new edition is the story “Through the Fire” from On a Pincushion (1877), De Morgan’s first published book of fairy tales. Immerse yourself in a young boy’s adventure as he journeys to the North Pole on a mission for the fire Princess. Fans of Hans Christian Anderson and George MacDonald will adore De Morgan’s rediscovered collection of fairy tales. Foreword by Dr. Marilyn Pemberton, Out of the Shadows: The Life and Works of Mary De Morgan (2012).
