Rondalles contades a la vora del foc és una selecció de 7 de les moltes rondalles de la tradició popular catalana que van ser recollides de la literatura oral pròpia, i de les tradicions d'altres països, per diferents autors i en diferents moments als inicis del segle xx. Els textos seleccionats provenen de diverses publicacions de l'època i s'han actualitzat per tal d'apropar-los al públic infantil del segle XXI , sobretot a nivell de continguts i només en els casos en què l'argument ho requeria. En aquest exercici, però, s'han volgut mantenir expressions molt arrelades o lèxic comú en la llengua oral de l'època però d'un ús menys freqüent en l'actualitat, amb la intenció de contribuir al manteniment de la seva presència en el català actual. Les rondalles que componen aquest volum són: L'etcètera, El conillet, El camí de la fortuna, El comte d'Oliver, que Valeri Serra i Boldú va recollir en el seu Aplec de rondalles, publicat per Editorial Catalana el 1924. La flor gran de romaní, que Antoni Maria Alcover va recollir en el seu volum II de l' Aplech de Rondayes mallorquines, publicat amb el títol " La flor romanial", per l'Estampa de Mn. Alcover, el 1925. L'estudiant i l'ase, que Jacint Verdaguer publica amb el títol Qui no et conegui que et compri, al núm. 15 de "La Rondalla dels Dijous" de la revista L'Avenç, el 1909. La llúpia i els dimonis, conte tradicional japonès publicat amb el títol El vell i els dimonis al núm. 8 de "La Rondalla dels Dijous" de la revista L'Avenç, el 1909. Les rondalles són actes comunicatius, amb un missatge i molts altres elements al voltant. Actes estètics que desvetllen experiències úniques, irrepetibles, motivades per cada context i que se'ns presenten per a ser interpretades com a lectors/oients. Són mostres d'un gènere literari que pertany a l'etnopoètica. Un gènere que es divideix en subgèneres, segons els protagonistes o altres característiques: rondalles d'animals o de persones; d'éssers que habiten mons fantàstics, inventats, o realitats més versemblants. Les rondalles són també activitats educatives, que ensenyen coses a la gent, siguin nens o siguin més ganàpies. Ens transmeten valors relatius al món i a la naturalesa humana, que podem compartir o que podem qüestionar. Cada rondalla ens parla d'una visió del món que varia depenent de qui l'explica, a qui, on, quan... Rondalles contades a la vora del foc és una aposta per la recuperació del patrimoni popular i pel reconeixement del concepte de "rondalla de la vora del foc" com a eina de transmissió de coneixements, d'experiències, i també com a oportunitat per potenciar l'univers fantàstic dels infants (i dels adults més agosarats).

“A fortune in hidden gold! That certainly sounds mighty interesting.” Frank Hardy folded up the letter he had just been reading aloud to his brother. “Dad has all the luck,” replied Joe. “I’d give anything to be working with him on a case like that.” “Me, too. This case is a bit out of the ordinary.” “Where was the letter postmarked?” “Somewhere in Montana. A gold-mining camp called Lucky Bottom.” “Montana! Gee, but I wish he could have taken us with him. We’ve never been more than two hundred miles from home.” “And I’ve never seen a mine in my life, much less a real mining camp.” The Hardy boys looked at one another regretfully. They had just received a letter from their father, Fenton Hardy, an internationally famous detective, who had been called West but a fortnight previous on a mysterious mission. The letter gave the boys their first inkling of the nature of the case that had summoned their father from Bayport, on the Atlantic coast, to the mining country of Montana.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Percy Jackson meets Tristan Strong in this hilarious middle grade “edge-of-your-seat adventure” (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author of City Spies) that follows a young boy as he journeys across China to seal the underworld shut and save the mortal realm. Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage. His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open. The mission takes an immediate wrong turn when the First Emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack’s body and binds to Zack’s AR gaming headset instead, leading to a battle where Zack’s mom’s soul gets taken by demons. Now, with one of history’s most infamous tyrants yapping in his headset, Zack must journey across China to heist magical artifacts and defeat figures from history and myth, all while learning to wield the emperor’s incredible water dragon powers. And if Zack can’t finish the mission in time, the spirits of the underworld will flood into the mortal realm, and he could lose his mom forever.

An inventive and fantastical reimagining of Anne of Green Gables—with magic and witches!—that explores found family, loss, and the power of a girl's imagination, from the acclaimed author of The Language of Ghosts and The School Between Winter and Fairyland. Perfect for readers who loved The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Serafina and the Black Cloak. ""A magical, witchy, and thoroughly successful homage to a classic."" —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Grace has never been good at anything except magic—not that anyone believes her. While other children are adopted from the orphanage, nobody wants Grace. So she decides to make a home for herself by running away and offering herself as an apprentice to the witch in the nearby woods. After all, who better to teach Grace to use her magic? Surely the witch can’t be that bad. But the witch is that bad—she steals souls for spells and gobbles up hearts. So Grace offers a deal: If she can learn all 100½ spells in the witch’s grimoire, the witch will make Grace her apprentice. But if Grace fails, the witch can take her magic. The witch agrees, and soon an unexpected bond develops between them. But the spells are much harder than Grace expected, and when a monster from the witch’s past threatens the home Grace has built, she may have to sacrifice more than her magic to save it.
