Dónde guardar un libro gigante
by Diego FonsecaPapá siempre tiene grandes sorpresas. Ahora fue un libro.Uno grande como un gigante. Mejor: ¡como un gigante en hombros de otro gigante!Me encanta, si bien tiene un gran inconveniente: no hay lugar en casa donde Debí dejarlo en el patio.Es un libro de cuentos clásicos, dijo Papá. Si yo voy dentro de sus páginas encontraré los corsarios de la Malasia, cerditos y brujas, miguitas de pan perdidas, vaqueros y soldados.Una tarde hice la prueba. Un murmullo surgió apenas abrí un par de hojas. El de una ballena! ¡Y luego un delfín y peces voladores!Volví a casa muy entusiasmada. Papá me sentó en su regazo y se río con mis zapato al hada madrina de una hacendosa niña ceniza. Esos bravos indios con sus arcos y flechas cabalgando sobre los potros más veloces sobre la pradera interminable de un planeta púrpura.Al final, Papá se puso serio.—No olvides que debes hallar un lugar donde guardar ese libro —me dijo—.Esa es tu responsabilidad.Lo sabía y lo haría, pero no en ese momento. Tenía todavía demasiado por Unos días después, ya sabía entrar y salir velozmente de las historias y pasar sin pausa las enormes páginas. Podía personificar a una capitana en un bergantín volando por los mares del Océano Pacífico. O tal vez disfrazarme de mariposa y suspirar al oído de una niña que un lobo ladino planeaba devorarse a su abuela.También me las arreglaba para ayudar a plantar habichuelas mágicas a un niño que quería robar la gallina millonaria del ogro dormilón.

Each Shining Hour
by Jeff HighWelcome to the timeless charms of small-town Watervalley, Tennessee--where young Dr. Luke Bradford is beginning to feel at home... When he comes to the aid of a woman at the grocery store, Luke is fascinated to learn she is Estelle Pillow, the cheery sister to his prickly housekeeper, Connie. Estelle wants to open a bakery in town--and Connie's disapproval of the venture stirs up a whirlwind of emotions between the siblings. But Luke's attention is soon diverted when he learns about a long-ago double murder.... During World War II, an unknown traveler arrived in town, and before the day was over, he and the local baker lay dead near the bandstand at the local lake. The incident has since been exaggerated into Watervalley lore--with the newcomer rumored to have been a German spy. As Luke pieces together exactly what happened, he realizes that the consequences of this event have rippled painfully into the lives of townsfolk he has come to know. As winter gives way to spring, Luke keeps busy at the medical clinic and enters a tentative, exhilarating romance. And when his support of Estelle's bakery collides with new revelations about the old murder, Luke witnesses the true power of reconciliation working in the hearts of those he holds dear--a revelation that will change his life.

Early Decision: A Novel
by Lacy CrawfordUpper-class students and parents test the limits of a private tutor during college application season in this delightful and salacious novel.Anne Arlington is twenty-seven, single, and in demand: she is the independent “college whisperer” whose name is passed from parent to parent like a winning lottery ticket, the only tutor who can make a difference with the Ivy League.Early Decision follows one application season and the five students Anne guides to their fates: Hunter, the athletic boy who never quite hits his potential, a kind, heavily defended kid who drives his mother mad; Sadie, an heiress who is perfectly controlled but at the expense of her own heart; William, whose intelligence permits him to dodge his father’s cruel conservatism but can’t solve the problem of loneliness; Alexis, a blazing overachiever whose midwestern parents have never heard of a tiger mom; and Cristina, who could write her ticket out of her enormous, failing high school, if only she knew how.Meanwhile, Anne needs a little coaching herself, having learned that even the best college does not teach a person how to make a life. . . . In this engrossing, intelligent novel, Lacy Crawford delivers an explosive insider’s guide to the secrets of college admissions at the highest levels. It’s also a deft commentary on modern parenting and how the scramble for Harvard is shaping a generation. Told in part through the students’ essays, this unique and witty book is so closely observed that it has been mistaken for a memoir or a how-to guide. A wise and deeply felt story, Early Decision reveals how getting in is getting in the way of growing up.“Part Gossip Girl, part Dead Poets Society, and entirely addictive! A brilliant, satirical peek at the families of privilege behind the Ivy Curtain, this book made me laugh out loud.” —Kevin Kwan, New York Times–bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy
