by Ruenda M.Ruenda M. ha llegado a Montena y con él los versos más intensos y delicados. Ruenda hace una declaración de intenciones con cada uno de sus versos, su frases y sus fotografías. Sus textos tienen garra pero a la vez son delicados y generan la sensación de querer más. «Lo que tienes entre las manos, tan llenas de grietas como las mías, es un grito violeta; una revolución vestida de etiqueta, pero que sigue pidiendo limosna por las calles del querer. Esto es la capa más visible de un alma acostumbrada a huir del ruido para hacer eco en el papel.»

El último unicornio
by C.C. HumphreysEsta es la historia de Elayne, una adolescente de quince años que viaja a otro mundo lleno de criaturas mitológicas, dónde deberá encontrar al último unicornio. Elayne es una adolescente de quince años como otra cualquiera: le encantan las novelas de romance paranormal, escuchar música en su iPod y callejear con sus amigos por Nueva York.

Es un bonito cuento, pero ella ya es mayorcita para cuentos. Hasta que un día visita el museo de Arte Medieval con el instituto y reconoce el tapiz: representa a un bello unicornio y lleva bordadas sus iniciales... De repente, siente una llamada en su interior y, casi sin darse cuenta, llega al otro lado.

As she pieces her memory back together, she realizes she’s confessed to murdering Tori Beaugrand, the most perfect girl at school. But the case is a mystery. Tori’s body has not been found, and Alison can't explain what happened. One minute she was fighting with Tori. The next moment Tori disintegrated—into nothing. But that's impossible.

No one ever understood—until a mysterious visiting scientist takes an interest in Alison’s case. Suddenly, Alison discovers that the world is wrong about her—and that she’s capable of far more than anyone else would believe.

The Unbinding of Mary Reade
by Miriam McNamaraA clever, romantic novel based on the true story of a girl who disguised herself as a boy to sail with the infamous pirates Anne Bonny and Calico Jack—and fell in love with Anne Bonny. There’s no place for a girl in Mary’s world. Not in the home of her mum, desperately drunk and poor. Not in the household of her wealthy granny, where no girl can be named an heir. And certainly not in the arms of Nat, her childhood love who never knew her for who she was. As a sailor aboard a Caribbean merchant ship, Mary’s livelihood—and her safety—depends on her ability to disguise her gender. At least, that’s what she thinks is true. But then pirates attack the ship, and in the midst of the gang of cutthroats, Mary spots something she never could have imagined: a girl pirate. The sight of a girl standing unafraid upon the deck, gun and sword in hand, changes everything. In a split-second decision, Mary turns her gun on her own captain, earning herself the chance to join the account and become a pirate alongside Calico Jack and Anne Bonny. For the first time, Mary has a shot at freedom. But imagining living as her true self is easier, it seems, than actually doing it. And when Mary finds herself falling for the captain’s mistress, she risks everything—her childhood love, her place among the crew, and even her life. Breathlessly romantic and brilliantly subversive, The Unbinding of Mary Reade is sure to sweep readers off their feet and make their hearts soar.
