Viuda de hierro: Iron Widow (Iron Widow Ser. #1)
by Xiran Jay ZhaoUna heroína temeraria e indomable que, si no puede cambiar el mundo, le prenderá fuego. Los chicos de Huaxia sueñan con ser emparejados con una chica para poder convertirse en pilotos de crisálidas, los gigantes mecanizados que se usan para luchar contra las criaturas que acechan al otro lado de la Gran Muralla. El mayor honor para una chica de Huaxia es que la seleccionen como piloto-concubina, aunque esto signifique una muerte segura. Cuando su hermana muere en una crisálida, Zetian le toma el relevo para vengarla. La revancha es rápida, brutal e... inesperada, y Zetian se gana el apelativo de la Viuda de Hierro; una temida mujer piloto que sacrifica a los hombres, y no al revés, para propulsar las crisálidas. Para domar su inquietante pero valiosísima fuerza mental, la emparejan con Li Shimin, el piloto más fuerte y controvertido de todo el país. Pero, ahora que ha probado el poder, Zetian no se doblegará tan fácilmente. Aprovechará sus dones y su infamia para sobrevivir a un intento tras otro de acabar con su vida, hasta averiguar por qué el sistema de pilotos depende tanto de destruir la vida de las chicas... y arrasarlo para siempre. Reseñas:«Al igual que su feroz heroína, Iron Widow es brutal, sanguinaria y está llena de rabia. La lucha de Zetian para romper las definiciones patriarcales del poder es una lectura increíblemente apasionante».Julie C. Dao, autora de El bosque de los mil farolillos «Una original trama cargada de acción, con batallas tanto físicas como mentales, que incorpora temáticas LGBT y el feminismo inquebrantable de Zetian».Kirkus Reviews «Un ritmo frenético que te mantiene enganchado a las páginas mientras animas a Wu Zetian, la mejor peor protagonista, en su sangrienta e irreprimible misión. Absolutamente épica».Chloe Gong, autora del superventas These Violent Delights

If Lola ever wants to fall in love without suffering the consequences, she'll have to break the curse. She finds an unlikely curse-breaking companion in Javi, a seemingly stoic boy she meets while working in her cousin's restaurant. Javi is willing to help Lola look into this family curse of hers, and Lola needs all the help she can get. Over the course of one summer — filled with food, family, and two very different boys — Lola explores Mexico City while learning about herself, her heritage, and the magic around us all.
Viví en el cerro Mariposa (The Butterfly Hill Series)
by Marjorie AgosinNow available in Spanish! An eleven-year-old&’s world is upended by political turmoil in this &“lyrically ambitious tale of exile and reunification&” (Kirkus Reviews) from an award-winning poet, based on true events in Chile.Celeste Marconi is a dreamer. She lives peacefully among friends and neighbors and family in the idyllic town of Valparaiso, Chile—until one day when warships are spotted in the harbor and schoolmates start disappearing from class without a word. Celeste doesn&’t quite know what is happening, but one thing is clear: no one is safe, not anymore. The country has been taken over by a government that declares artists, protestors, and anyone who helps the needy to be considered &“subversive&” and dangerous to Chile&’s future. So Celeste&’s parents—her educated, generous, kind parents—must go into hiding before they, too, &“disappear.&” Before they do, however, they send Celeste to America to protect her. As Celeste adapts to her new life in Maine, she never stops dreaming of Chile. But even after democracy is restored to her home country, questions remain: Will her parents reemerge from hiding? Will she ever be truly safe again? Accented with interior artwork, steeped in the history of Pinochet&’s catastrophic takeover of Chile, and based on many true events, this multicultural ode to the power of revolution, words, and love is both indelibly brave and heart-wrenchingly graceful.

From the moment of her disappearance, Pat's voice has become real, guiding him to Utila, where she had accepted a summer internship to study whale sharks. Once there, he meets several characters who describe his sister as a very different girl from the one knows. Does someone have a motive for wanting her dead? Determined to get to the bottom of Pat's disappearance, Luke risks everything, including his own life, to find the answer.
