Siempre estarás tú (Alice y Lucas, una historia de amor #Volumen 1)
by Francesco GunguiDulce, divertida y cercana. Una historia de amor que te llenará el corazón de mariposas. Otra noche. Otro desayuno. Otro día de mar. Un mes puede ser larguísimo si sabes con exactitud lo que va a ocurrir todos los días. Pero a veces lo menos pensado, lo que nunca te habrías atrevido ni a imaginar, sucede. A veces los sueños se hacen realidad... Dicen que lo que uno desea demasiado nunca llega, y que cuanto más te preparas para algo, más se aleja de ti. Tal vez por eso Alice se ha quedado sin vacaciones. Tanto tiempo planificando el primer viaje con sus amigas y al final deberá pasar el mes de agosto con sus padres, en el mismo camping, la misma roulotte y la misma playa de todos los años. A veces la vida no es justa. A veces parece que todo lo malo sucede a la vez... Pero, por suerte, enel camping Alice no está tan sola como esperaba: desde muchos kilómetros de distancia, su mejor amigo, Luca, le escribe y a través del chat le hace reír con sus originales y extrañas teorías. Y con el paso de los días Alice se da cuenta de que, para conseguir lo que realmente desea, no tiene más que dejarse llevar... Porque el amor es así: solo llega cuando te olvidas de él.
Siempre nos estamos yendo
by Verónica SukaczerUna ficción en torno a una migración masiva y años de expulsión, pero también es una historia sobre el crecimiento y las búsquedas personales, los vínculos, las despedidas, la circulación de la palabra y los recuerdos, y el deseo de encontrar un lugar de pertenecía. Con gran destreza literaria, Verónica Sukaczer construye un relato que, a la manera de cajas chinas, renueva su apuesta por la memoria social, la búsqueda de la identidad y la circulación de la palabra. En este libro se ahonda en un tema poco frecuentado en la literatura juvenil como es el de los migrantes, aquellos que no tienen más opción que huir para sobrevivir. Muchos muros han dividido tierras. Uno divide de pronto la vida de Zinnia. Sin opción, la familia huye, migra para encontrar dónde echar nuevas raíces y vivir en paz. De una a otra casa, de un país a otro, del camino a un campamento para refugiados, y luego un gran incendio y otra huida más, y van tantas... Zinnia se aferra a su hermana Jaz y a su historia. Contar quiénes son le permite recordar de dónde vienen y recuperar la fuerza para cruzar nuevos muros.

Story Behind the Book&“After writing the twelve-book Christy Miller series for teens, a new character showed up on the pages of the final novel.
