Die elfjährige Willodeen liebt Tiere aller Art, vor allem die hässlichen. Ihre ganz besonderen Lieblinge sind die unansehnlichen Kreischer. Die Bewohner von Purchance haben sie fast ausgerottet. Viel lieber haben sie nämlich die niedlichen Summbärchen, die jedes Jahr im Dorf überwintern und Touristen aus nah und fern anziehen. Doch dieses Jahr ist kein einziges zurückgekehrt, und niemand weiß, warum. Als ein selbst gebasteltes Geschenk ihres Freundes Connor für Willodeen unerwartet magisch wird, glaubt sie, dass es einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Leben der Kreischer und der Summbärchen geben könnte und dass alle Tiere eine wichtige Rolle im komplizierten Netz der Natur spielen. Willodeen setzt alles daran, die Kreischer zurückzubringen, denn nur so kann ihr Dorf überleben ... Die vielfach ausgezeichnete Autorin Katherine Applegate schrieb ein einfühlsames und kluges Plädoyer für den Naturschutz und die Artenvielfalt, verpackt in ein mitreißendes Fantasy-Abenteuer.

Crenshaw ist kein gewöhnlicher Kater: Er hat nicht nur einen seltsamen Namen, sondern isst auch für sein Leben gern lila Geleebohnen. Er kann sprechen und ist riesengroß – so groß, dass man sich im Notfall gut bei ihm anlehnen kann. Vor allem aber ist Crenshaw unsichtbar. Der einzige, der ihn sehen kann, ist Jackson, obwohl der überhaupt nicht an unsichtbare Kater glaubt und im Moment ganz andere Sorgen hat. Zu Hause ist das Geld nämlich mal wieder knapp, sodass es zum Abendbrot seit einer Weile nur noch Cornflakes gibt, seine Mutter mehrere Jobs gleichzeitig annimmt und Jackson seine Sachen auf dem Flohmarkt verkaufen muss. Doch wenn alles zu schlimm wird, taucht Crenshaw auf, segelt mit dem Regenschirm durch die Lüfte, nimmt ein Schaumbad oder stellt irgendetwas anderes Verrücktes an. Er kitzelt ein Lächeln aus Jackson heraus, wenn ihm eigentlich zum Heulen zumute ist. Er versteht Jackson wie kein anderer und zeigt ihm, dass es ok ist, wütend zu sein. Denn auch ein Kater ist nicht immer gut gelaunt. Und er erinnert Jackson daran, dass es höchste Zeit ist, eine Entscheidung zu treffen. Ein lustiger und berührender Roman über die magische Kraft der Phantasie, die Kinder in schwierigen Lebenssituationen retten kann. Katherine Applegate findet genau die richtigen Worte für ein hoch aktuelles Thema: die Angst vor der Armut. Mit Schwarzweißzeichnungen von Crenshaw, der auch im Buch an den verrücktesten Orten auftaucht.

Me llamo Jackson y en otoño empezaré quinto de primaria. Cuando sea mayor quiero ser científico de animales. ¿Sabías que un guepardo puede correr a 110km/h? ¿Que una cucaracha sin cabeza puede sobrevivir dos semanas? ¿O que cuando un lagarto cornudo se enfada escupe sangre por los ojos? Honestamente, creo que los hechos son mucho mejor que las historias. No puedes ver una historia. No puedes sostenerla en tu mano para medirla. De hecho, las historias no son más que mentiras. Y a mí no me gusta que me mientan. La regla número uno de todo científico es que siempre hay una explicación lógica para todo. Por ejemplo, ¿cómo aparecen gominolas moradas por arte de magia cuando apenas tenemos comida en casa? O, ¿por qué es difícil hacer amigos cuando siempre tienes hambre? O, ¿de dónde ha salido ese ridículo paraguas? O, ¿cómo es posible que mis padres crean que no me doy cuenta que discuten cuando llegan las facturas? Pero, lo más importante es que tiene que haber una explicación lógica de por qué el amigo imaginario que me inventé hace años ¡se está pegando un baño de espuma en nuestra bañera!

La única

"El Único e incomparable Iván robó nuestros corazones, La superviviente inspirará al héroe que todos llevamos dentro." No queríamos creer que teníamos los días contados. Pero lo que sabíamos es que hacía tiempo éramos muchos y ahora somos muy pocos. Mis padres temían que yo fuera la primera en morir si nos encontrábamos en problemas y, como ellos sabían, las dificultades nos amenazaban continuamente. Yo era pequeña. Y a veces los decepcionaba. Aunque sabía que también podía ser valiente. No me asustaba ser la primera en morir. Pero no quería ser la última en quedar con vida. No quería ser la superviviente.

Para saber si es realmente la última dairne del mundo, la superviviente, Byx y sus amigos persiguen la mítica isla flotante Tarok, donde esperan descubrir la verdad que se esconde tras la leyenda de una colonia secreta dairne. Pero la amenaza de guerra en el reino de Nedarra crece día con día y Kharu no puede postergar más su llamado a la acción. A medida que nuestros héroes se enfrentan a peligros inimaginables descubrirán un plan traicionero que involucra a las poderosas especies gobernantes. Con sus sueños y todas las criaturas de Nedarra al borde de la extinción, Byx, Kharu, Tobble, Renzo y Gambler se convertirán en los insólitos líderes de una rebelión que pondrá en peligro todo lo que aman, pero ellos están decididos a no perder jamás la esperanza. Byx puede ser la última de su especie, pero ¿será también la primera en liderar una revolución? "Simplemente sublime." Kirkus Reviews "Está destinado a ser el libro del verano." The New York Times

La Superviviente 2

Antes de comerse el pastel, de andar en bicicleta, de poder hacer esa difícil coreografía de ballet o de ganar un juego con tu equipo, hay una historia de fracasos, decepciones, errores y momentos de casi, casi tirar la toalla. Pero, como narran elocuentemente la multipremiada escritora Katherine Applegate y la ilustradora Jennifer Black Reinhardt, no es más que la vida haciendo de las suyas. Fallar, intentar, no son el fin de la experiencia sino el camino mismo. Luego viene, si hay suerte, la hora del pastel. Esta historia, llena de sabiduría y amor, es un mensaje que resuena, y perdura, en las mentes de los muchos jóvenes lectores que han tenido la suerte de encontrarse con esta historia. Y le ocurrirá sin duda a muchos más, pues A veces volamos está destinado a convertirse en un clásico instantáneo.

DOGTOWN

Bir zamanlar dünyada pek çok farklı tür birlikte yaşıyordu. Aralarında bir anlaşma yapıp birbirlerinin yaşam hakkına saygı duyacaklarına söz verdiler. Ancak biri bu anlaşmayı bozdu: Dünyayı savaş alanına çeviren bir insan. En önemli özelliği yalanın kokusunu almak olan darin türünü yok etmek için insanlar amansız bir savaş başlatır. Dünyada tek bir darin kalır: Byx. Hayatta kalmaya çalışan Byx, büyüklerinden duyduğu efsanelerin peşine düşerek başka darinleri aramak için tehlikeli bir yolculuğa çıkar. Bu yolculukta ona cesur vobik Tobble, aile mirasını koruma peşinde kılık değiştirmiş kız çocuğu Khara, ilkelerine bağlı felivet Gambler ve şerefli hırsız Renzo eşlik eder. Zorunluluktan bir araya gelen kahramanlar kısa zamanda bir aile olurlar ve birlikte sadece darinlerin değil dünyadaki diğer tüm türlerin varlığını tehdit edecek bir sırrı ortaya çıkarırlar.
