Zac y Mia
by A. J. BettsValiente y poco convencional, describe el fuerte apego a la vida que surge cuando se padece una enfermedad grave. Si bien el ambiente frío y aséptico de una clínica es el último lugar donde una pareja de adolescentes esperaría iniciar una relación significativa, a veces el azar nos sorprende con encuentros fortuitos que marcan nuestro destino. Convaleciente de un trasplante de médula, Zac lleva semanas solo y aburrido en el hospital cuando en la habitación contigua ingresan a Mia, una impetuosa chica de su edad. A los golpecitos en el tabique del principio les sigue el intercambio de notas por medio de las enfermeras y, finalmente, en el silencio de la noche, la comunicación a través de Facebook. Paulatinamente, una amistad surgida de la necesidad da paso a una atracción muy especial que, sin embargo, se verá expuesta a una dura prueba cuando más adelante la realidad cotidiana interponga unos obstáculos con los que Zac y Miano contaban. Narrada con un fresco sentido del humor, autenticidad y delicadeza, Zac y Mia es una historia excepcional sobre dos chicos cuyo prometedor futuro se tambalea bajo sus pies. Una novela íntima y conmovedora que mantiene al lector en vilo hasta el final. La crítica ha dicho...«El poder curativo de la amistad, el amor y la familia hacen que este relato divertido y filosófico sobre la enfermedad en la adolescencia resulte sobresaliente.»Kirkus Reviews «Con una estructura elegante y un estilo y lenguaje carentes de toda afectación, los personajes de esta novela quedan grabados en la memoria del lector y permanecen en ella durante largo tiempo.»Jurado del Premio Ethel Turner «Betts retrata el cáncer como algo duro, que da miedo, pero que se puede derrotar -o, por lo menos, soportar- si uno no se enfrenta a él en solitario. Sus protagonistas, un chico que se aferra a la vida y una chica que se da cuenta de que nopuede evitar que su vida cambie, tienen una enorme fuerza.»Publishers Weekly «Cuando empieces este libro, no podrás dejar de leerlo.»The Hoopla

Zafiro (Rubí #Volumen 2)
by Kerstin GierCruza las fronteras del tiempo y encuentra el verdadero amor. Sigue la grandiosa aventura de Gideon y Gwen: un torbellino de sentimientos que arrastra a los protagonistas a través de los siglos. Gwen vive en una nube... ¡con Gideon!, aunque sabe bien que el amor entre dos viajeros en el tiempo puede deparar sorpresas traicioneras. Por suerte, tiene muy buenos consejeros: su mejor amiga, Leslie, su compinche, James el fantasma, y Xemerius, una gárgola que se mete en bastantes líos. Además, Gwen y Gideon tienen importantes problemas de los que ocuparse... Por ejemplo, salvar el mundo. O aprender a bailar un minué (algo nada fácil). Sin embargo, ambos deberán entender que el amor debe pasar por delante de lo demás, sobre todo cuando caigan en las redes del conde de Saint Germain... Todo había empezado con aquel beso. Gideon de Villiers me había besado a mí: Gwendolyn Sheperd. Naturalmente, debería haberme preguntado por qué se le habría ocurrido aquella idea de una forma tan repentina y en unas circunstancias tan extrañas, escondidos en un confesionario y todavía sin aliento tras una persecución de película por medio Londres. Pero el hecho era que en aquel momento yo no pensaba absolutamente en nada, aparte quizá de que no quería que el beso acabara nunca. Por eso tampoco fui del todo consciente del tirón que sentí en el vientre ni me di cuenta de que entre tanto habíamos vuelto a saltar en el tiempo... Reseña:«Kerstin debe de haber lanzado algún tipo de magia entre sus páginas. La historia es alucinante... ¡Quién fuera Gwen para pasar dos horas con Gideon en un sofá! ¡A SOLAS! Sin lugar a dudas, la trilogía ES UN IMÁN del que no te podrás separar. ¡Imprescindible en tu estantería!»Eva Rubio, administradora de JUVENIL ROMÁNTICA

Por eso, cuando se presenta la ocasión de formarse y trabajar como actrices profesionales, las tres hermanas no dejarán escapar la oportunidad. Con su talento, esfuerzo e ilusión lograrán costear los gastos familiares, conseguirán triunfos inesperados, aprenderán a valorar la generosidad, la independencia, y, sobre todo, a desconfiar del éxito como única meta.
