Y donde tú seas, yo seré (Trilogía Samsarí #Volumen 2)
by Mía MartínSegunda entrega de la trilogía «Samsarí», iniciada con Di mi nombre. Vuelve Mía Martín con más amor, misterio, pasión y una fuerte sensación de pertenencia en esta novela de romance contemporáneo. Dime, Michela, ¿alguna vez has tenido esa extraña sensación de acabar de encontrarte con alguien y, al mismo tiempo, sentir que lo conoces desde siempre? ¿Que estáis conectados de una manera imposible de explicar desde un punto de vista racional? «Sí, sí, lo he sentido. Exactamente, así como lo has explicado», le hubiera respondido de no ser una cobarde. Desde que sus ojos se encontraron con los de Roberto Pastriani su mundo se había tambaleado. No, se le había caído encima, aplastándola. No había logrado reponerse e iba de mal en peor. Hacía más de un mes que Roberto había desaparecido de Roma. No había vuelto a saber deél desde la terrible discusión que habían mantenido en el hospital. Sin embargo, le resultaba difícil de aceptar que alguien como él, orgulloso y temerario, hubiera desaparecido por su culpa. Ese hombre encerraba tantos misterios. "¿Quién eres Roberto Pastriani? Te presentas en mi vida, la alborotas, me destruyes y desapareces".
Y la muerte, su legado: Juegos de guerra
by George R.R. MartinEl juego forma parte fundamental de los seres humanos. Y su reverso oscuro, la guerra, también. Como el gran fabulador que es, George R. R. Martin no ignora el hecho de que vivimos atrapados entre las risas de un partido amistoso y los gritos de la batalla, pues en gran medida así construyó su aclamada saga Canción de Hielo y Fuego. Pero Martin no sólo se ha ocupado de narrar la lucha por el poder de los Siete Reinos, sino que, como talentoso estratega de ajedrez y gran aficionado al futbol americano, también ha expuesto la lucha voraz, el espíritu bélico y la sed de revancha que existen en los juegos y los deportes. Es así como surge Y la muerte, su legado, un inusual y sorprendente volumen de relatos que entrevé la ciencia ficción especulativa y la fantasía, y donde cada historia es un juego con reglas propias. Competencias, batallas, partidos: todos los personajes aquí convocados ponen a prueba sus habilidades y se valen de su astucia o malicia para triunfar incluso a costa de sus contrincantes.

by Christopher PikeInAlosha andThe Shaktra, thirteen-year-old Ali Warner discovered that she was not an ordinary teenager, but was actually Queen of the Fairies. Through seven painful trials, Ali reclaimed many of her magical powers and defeated an elemental army that was preparing to attack the Earth. In the elemental world, Ali learned the true nature of her greatest enemy -- the Shaktra -- and discovered why it covets the Yanti, a mystical talisman of immense power that Ali now possesses. Now, inThe Yanti, Ali discovers that a mysterious Entity is masterminding the Shaktra's attack on Earth, an attack that will kill billions and leave both Earth and the elemental world shattered. Still reeling from the death of one of her closest friends, Ali finds herself accused of murder on Earth and besieged by enemies in the elemental world. The Shaktra has had years to develop her magical abilities and her evil plots, guided by the otherworldly Entity. Ali has only known about her fairy powers for a month. There are holes in her fairy memories and her powers are still incomplete, while the Shaktra commands vast armies of hideous monsters and rules over hosts of dragons. Ali's allies are few: one dragon, one leprechaun, a single troll, a handful of fairies and an African boy, Ra, who has sworn to serve Ali even beyond death. Plus the mysterious disembodied Nemi -- whose love sustains Ali through her darkest moments of despair. Only the Yanti can stop what is to come. Unfortunately, Ali has barely had a chance to study it. The first time she tries to use it as a weapon, it nearly kills her. Unless Ali Warner can solve the riddle of the Yanti - and the mystery behind the Shaktra's insane bitterness -- then the Earth and the elemental world will be doomed.

The Yark

"[A] blend of horror and humor. . ."—Booklist Online "Gapaillard's beautiful drawings set the emotive, toothy Yark into moody, cinematic landscapes and intricate interiors."—Kirkus Reviews "...unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as elementary school and community library fiction collections for young readers."
