Deki: The Adventures of a Dog and a Boy in Tibet
by George B. SchallerÔI am coming from behind me and I am going aheadÕ A dog can lead you into the corners of some stories better than any human can. This is a story like that. In the vast Tibetan plateau, where beauty and cruelty fall as day and night, Deki, a Tibetan mastiff, is born with a moon on her black chest. This is the tale of the dog and her friends, Tashi, Karma, and Changku the wolf. Of how she meets a runaway boy, and of their journey guarding a precious statue, with a vicious bandit at their heels, towards the celestial city of Shambhala. But do they find it? Deki's story moves with clouds, wild winds and the seasons. It carries the scent of blooming poppies and scurrying pikas, and of friends who leave without saying goodbye. Angry yaks and innocent sheep, fearsome bears and majestic snow leopards walk in and out of its words into caves where wise hermits teach the whys and hows of what everyone in the world wants to know. Finally, Deki faces the choice before every living creature: a life of comfort within someone else's walls, or freedom ? fragile and dangerous, but her own to risk. Follow Deki into an adventure without end.

Tengo un monstruo en el bolsillo
by Graciela MontesTener un monstruo palpitante y mordiente alojado en un lugar tan íntimo como un bolsillo tal vez pueda asustar a algunos. Pero no a Inés. Inés le da la bienvenida. "Ahí fue cuando metí las manos en el bolsillo del delantal y sentí algo peludo, tibio y que además, mordía." Y se desencadena la historia. Tener un monstruo palpitante y mordiente alojado en un lugar tan íntimo como un bolsillo tal vez pueda asustar a algunos. Pero no a Inés. Inés le da la bienvenida. Porque Inés, tan flaquita y silenciosa, tan titubeante, tan pequeña, tiene un deseo muy grande -un deseo tan grande que apenas si le cabe en el cuerpo- de que le sucedan cosas maravillosas, terribles y extraordinarias. Un monstruo personal, secreto, privado, es justo lo que andaba necesitando. Sin embargo, convivir con un monstruo nunca es fácil... Y el de Inés parece decidido a no abandonarla.
Little Lord Fauntleroy
by Frances Hodgson BurnettFrances Hodgson Burnett's conviction that love conquers all is memorably embodied in this classic rags-to-riches tale of an American boy who is transported from the mean streets of nineteenth-century New York to the splendor of his titled grandfather's English manor. Polly Hovarth writes that Little Lord Fauntleroy "was the Harry Potter of his time and Frances Hodgson Burnett was as celebrated for creating him as J. K. Rowling is for Potter." During the 1880s, fashions in the book became popular with velvet Lord Fauntleroy suits being sold, as well as other Fauntleroy merchandise such as velvet collars, playing cards, and chocolates. The Reginald Birch illustrations for the 1886 edition sparked a very romantic style of dress for boys which would endure into the early twentieth century.
