Dandelion Wine (Bantam Spectra Book)
by Ray BradburyRay Bradbury's moving recollection of a vanished golden era remains one of his most enchanting novels.

It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine who can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future.Come and savor Ray Bradbury's priceless distillation of all that is eternal about boyhood and summer.

El daño que he hecho
by Stories from the atticTengo que admitir que la primera vez que tome venganza de Malcolm Peters, me arrepentí. No es que no se lo mereciera, ¿usted entiende? Había una justificación para lo que hice, pero de alguna manera, se sintió incómodo, y mal. No era acerca de él o por que alguna de mis acciones lo haya afectado. En cambio, era mas acerca de mí, la forma en la que lo hice se hizo sentir mal. Esa primera vez, el placer de la venganza fue momentáneo y tan pronto como empezó comencé a arrepentirme por haberme rebajado, permitiéndome ser arrastrada hasta ese nivel. Ya ha habido suficiente de eso en mi familia. La segunda vez, la última vez, no sentí arrepentimiento. Lo que pasó, pasó. No se puede hacer nada y por supuesto, no hay pruebas de que Ciaco o yo hubiésemos hecho algo. La primera vez que conocí a Peters fue en un verano bajo la mas glamorosa de las circunstancias. Aceptar el trabajo en la hamburguesería no había sido por elección sino mas bien por necesidad. Fue divertido, pero incluso ahora recuerdo de cuando era chico, visitaba el lugar y miraba al personal. Adolescentes corriendo de una tarea a otra mientras que los enojados clientes del otro lado del mostrador les gritaban. Recuerdo que pensaba que yo odiaría ese trabajo...
