Trapped in Transylvania: (Dracula) (Cracked Classics #1)
by Tony AbbottTwo reluctant readers and mischievous middle schoolers get transported into Bram Stoker&’s vampire classic in this &“lighthearted spoof&” (Publishers Weekly). Devin and Frankie—short for Francine—may be the best of friends, but they aren&’t the best of students. After they&’re busted for not reading Bram Stoker&’s Dracula, their teacher sends them to the library to make amends by mending books. When they accidentally toss an ancient copy of the horror classic through the library&’s broken metal detector, a huge crack opens in the wall—and sucks Devin and Frankie right into the novel itself. Now these sarcastic sixth graders will need a few stakes, a lot of garlic, and a sharp sense of humor to defeat the bloodthirsty count. In this first book in Tony Abbott&’s Cracked Classics series, &“Devin and Frankie are wisecracking underachievers and their characterizations and dialogue ring true. Abbott adroitly blends the language in Stoker&’s tale with their conversations, resulting in laugh-out-loud scenes&” (School Library Journal).

His father likely wouldn&’t even notice if he did. Then, something too incredible to believe happens on his family&’s wooded property, and Brennon and his younger brother vow to keep it from their parents rather than risk ridicule again.

Ha hecho nuevos amigos y uno de los chicos más atractivos de la escuela le dedica toda su atención. Y, claro, también está su relación con Carter, ese chico solitario con el que siente una inmediata conexión. Todo parece ir bien hasta el momento en que Cimmeria se convierte en un lugar terriblemente peligroso donde nadie parece a salvo.Allie tendrá que elegir en quién confiar mientras descubre los secretos de la escuela. Comentarios:«Lo que más me ha gustado de este libro es lo impredecible que es... Hasta la última parte no se aclaraba del todo el misterio e incluso entonces no estaba segura de si lo que estaba ocurriendo era real. Night School ha sido eso justo algo así, que te mantiene todos tus sentidos en alerta pero no sabes hasta el final qué es lo que está pasando. ¡Night School es un emocionante comienzo de una saga que estoy ansiosa por descubrir!»ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES «Night School es adictivo. Muy adictivo. Me lo he leído muy rápido y al terminarlo me quedé con ganas de más. 451 páginas no han sido suficientes para mí. Por encima de todo, Night School ha sido para mí una lectura apasionante y cautivadora, con grandes personajes y una historia que te mantiene enganchado durante horas. ¡Muy recomendable!»PLANET PRINT «En la Academia Cimmeria hay misterio, asesinatos, algo de mutilación ¡y chicos, chicos, chicos! Y por supuesto una chica malvada... Nada es lo que parece... Night School comienza un poco lento pero pronto despega y no puedes parar de leer con las ganas de saber qué les pasará a los protagonistas de la Academia Cimmeria. Estoy desesperada por poder leer el segundo libro porque el final está lleno de misterio. Creo que la fiesta solo acaba de empezar...»NOVELS ON THE RUN Los blogs han dicho:«Podemos definir Night School como una novela increíble. Entre sus páginas se esconden amor, celos, mentiras, venganza, amistad y misterio. ¿Qué más pedir? Sin duda Night School es una gran apuesta, con una gran historia, que no puedes dejar pasar.»Página tras página «Sin prisa pero sin pausa, Daugherty hace su debut en la novela juvenil con una serie que promete cosas interesantes. A buen ritmo, la autora nos adentra en los muros de Cimmeria, sus normas y sus clases durante buena parte de la historia. Tampoco escatima en detalles con sus personajes. Los alumnos de Cimmeria no caen en tópicos pues cuando menos lo esperes darán un giro inesperado y dejarán a la protagonista dudando hasta de su sombra. Novios y ex-novios, amigas, envidias, cotilleos, ruidos en el tejado y mucha sangre derramada, ¿a quién confiará su vida?»Midnight Eclipse «Recomendada para todos aquellos que quieran leer una novela de suspense y verdades a medias.»La pluma del ángel caído

The Travel Tales of Mr Joseph Jorkens (Jorkens)
by Lord DunsanyThe Travel Tales of Mr. Joseph Jorkens, the first collection of Dunsany's Jorkens tales to be published, containing thirteen short pieces.The Jorkens stories are set in the London gentleman's or adventurer's club of which the title character is a member.

His stories often tip well over the boundaries of the plausible, into the realms of fantasy, horror, or even science fiction, and his auditors can never be quite sure what proportion of what he relates was truly experienced and to what degree he might have embellished.
