Finché un giorno, poco prima del suo undicesimo compleanno, riceve una misteriosa lettera che gli rivela la sua vera natura: Harry è un mago e la Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts è pronta ad accoglierlo...

Norby è un robottino davvero unico. E non solo perché ha l'aspetto di un barilotto. I meccanismi che lo compongono provengono da una misteriosa astronave aliena e questo dettaglio gli permette di sottrarsi alle tre leggi della robotica. Può quindi rifiutarsi di obbedire agli ordini; essere un fifone sempre preoccupato di farsi male; e addirittura lottare contro i cattivi. Questo lo rende imprevedibile, buffo e... incredibilmente umano. Insieme al suo amico e proprietario, il cadetto spaziale Jeff Wells, dovrà affrontare l'odioso Ing l'Ingrato, deciso a diventare Imperatore della Terra. Il primo libro di fantascienza per ragazzi scritto da Isaac Asimov e dalla moglie Janet, con la nuova traduzione e una Prefazione di Davide Morosinotto, appassionato lettore dell'opera di Asimov. «Norby, hai viaggiato nell'iperspazio senza un teletrasporto?» Norby fece un passo indietro. «È illegale?» «È impossibile. Nessuno può farlo.» «Io sì.» «Norby, questo ti rende l'essere più prezioso in tutto il sistema solare» «Oh, lo so.»

Il piccolo Tuk doveva imparare la lezione per il giorno dopo ma era troppo impegnato a fare altro, per cui si trovò al momento del tramonto, e la sua famiglia non aveva abbastanza soldi per tenere accese le lanterne tutta la notte. Sarebbe riuscito a imparare la lezione in tempo? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e artista danese. È celebre la sua letteratura per bambini; tra le sue fiabe più amate si citano "I vestiti nuovi dell’imperatore", "La sirenetta", "L'usignuolo", "Il soldatino di stagno", "La regina delle nevi", "Il brutto anitroccolo" e "La piccola fiammiferaia". I suoi libri sono stati tradotti in tutte le lingue viventi del mondo e al giorno d’oggi non c’è bambino o adulto che non abbia avuto modo di conoscere gli estrosi personaggi di Andersen. Le sue fiabe sono state il soggetto di infiniti adattamenti per il teatro e per il cinema, soprattutto da parte della Disney con i film d’animazione "La sirenetta" del 1989 e "Frozen", liberamente tratto da "La regina delle nevi", del 2013. Grazie all’enorme contributo dato da Andersen alla letteratura per l’infanzia, nel 2 aprile, giorno del suo compleanno, si celebra la Giornata internazionale del libro per bambini.

Questa incredibile avventura è cominciata un tranquillo lunedì di novembre. Ero nel mio ufficio, a Topazia, quando ricevetti l'invito per l'inaugurazione di una grande mostra. Era dedicata a Lucy, l'australopiteca più famosa della Preistoria! Che occasione stratopica! Ma ancora non immaginavo che, di lì a breve, mi sarei ritrovato catapultato nella savana africana del Pliocene, tra gli australopitechi. Lì avrei dovuto vedermela con predatori affamati, vulcani in eruzione e non solo... Infatti, a rendere ancora più difficile la vita non proprio semplice di quei tempi (l'unico modo per dormire tranquilli era starsene appollaiati sugli alberi!), ci ha pensato Sally Rasmaussen! La mia storica rivale mi ha raggiunto in quell'epoca lontana e ne ha combinata una delle sue... Per fortuna la mia amica Lucy era al mio fianco!

From the author of the highly acclaimed, bestselling novel Pax comes a gorgeous and moving novel that is an ode to introverts, dreamers, and misfits everywhere, ideal for readers aged 9–12. Ware can’t wait to spend summer ‘off in his own world’ and generally being left alone. But then his parents sign him up for dreaded Rec camp, where he must endure Meaningful Social Interaction and whatever activities so-called ‘normal’ kids do. On his first day Ware meets Jolene, a tough, secretive girl planting a garden in the rubble of an abandoned church next to the camp. Soon Ware starts skipping Rec, creating a castle-like space of his own in the church lot. Jolene scoffs, calling him a dreamer – he doesn’t live in the ‘real world’ like she does. As different as Ware and Jolene are, though, they have one thing in common: for them, the lot is a refuge. And when their sanctuary is threatened, Ware vows to save the lot. But what does a hero look like in real life? And what can two misfit kids do?

Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have “ghost-sight,” and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORST—and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel. Did you know that ghosts love coffee? They’re not trying to be scary. They’re just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when they’re seen by the living. Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he’s one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault. Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go. At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief that’s perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (Anne Shirley Saga)

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the English poet John Milton. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men". Milton's story has two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus. In Pandemonium, Satan employs his rhetorical skill to organize his followers; he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub. Belial and Moloch are also present. At the end of the debate, Satan volunteers to poison the newly created Earth and God's new and most favored creation, Mankind. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas. After an arduous traversal of the Chaos outside Hell, he enters God's new material World, and later the Garden of Eden. At several points in the poem, an Angelic War over Heaven is recounted from different perspectives. Satan's rebellion follows the epic convention of large-scale warfare. The battles between the faithful angels and Satan's forces take place over three days. At the final battle, the Son of God single-handedly defeats the entire legion of angelic rebels and banishes them from Heaven. Following this purge, God creates the World, culminating in his creation of Adam and Eve. While God gave Adam and Eve total freedom and power to rule over all creation, He gave them one explicit command: not to eat from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil on penalty of death. The story of Adam and Eve's temptation and fall is a fundamentally different, new kind of epic: a domestic one. Adam and Eve are presented for the first time[citation needed] in Christian literature as having a full relationship while still being without sin. They have passions and distinct personalities. Satan, disguised in the form of a serpent, successfully tempts Eve to eat from the Tree by preying on her vanity and tricking her with rhetoric. Adam, learning that Eve has sinned, knowingly commits the same sin. He declares to Eve that since she was made from his flesh, they are bound to one another ‒ if she dies, he must also die. In this manner, Milton portrays Adam as a heroic figure, but also as a greater sinner than Eve, as he is aware that what he is doing is wrong. After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve have lustful sex. At first, Adam is convinced that Eve was right in thinking that eating the fruit would be beneficial. However, they soon fall asleep and have terrible nightmares, and after they awake, they experience guilt and shame for the first time. Realizing that they have committed a terrible act against God, they engage in mutual recrimination.

In the classic novel "Eight Cousins," Louisa May Alcott weaves a rich tapestry exploring themes of family, identity, and the complexities of gender roles in 19th-century America. Through the eyes of the spirited Rose Campbell, Alcott delves into the dynamics of a lively household filled with her eight male cousins, each distinct in character yet bound by their shared heritage. The novel adopts a charming yet didactic narrative style, typical of Alcott's work, blending humorous anecdotes with poignant moral lessons, ultimately advocating for the empowerment of women within a patriarchal society. Louisa May Alcott, renowned for her groundbreaking novel "Little Women," was deeply influenced by her own experiences growing up in a progressive, literary family. Her life was characterized by a dedication to social reform, particularly in the realms of women's rights and education. "Eight Cousins" reflects Alcott's commitment to portraying strong female characters who navigate both societal expectations and self-discovery, drawing from her vivacious interactions with her own family and her desire to reshape the traditional narrative surrounding women. "Eight Cousins" is an essential read for those intrigued by the interplay of gender norms and familial bonds during the Victorian era. Alcott's ability to craft relatable characters and her insightful commentary on social issues make this novel a delightful yet thought-provoking experience that resonates even in contemporary discourse.

Eight Cousins

In "Brave and Bold," Horatio Alger Jr. presents a quintessential rags-to-riches narrative, emblematic of his prolific career in American literature during the late 19th century. The novel follows the journey of a determined young protagonist who, through hard work, resilience, and ethical integrity, rises from humble beginnings to achieve success. Alger employs a straightforward yet engaging style, infused with moral didacticism that reflects the optimistic spirit of the American Dream. His characters often face significant obstacles, yet they are persistent in their pursuit of personal betterment, a hallmark of the literary genre known as 'pulp fiction' that flourished during this era. Horatio Alger was an influential figure in the development of American youth literature, famously celebrated for instilling values of perseverance and virtue in his young readers. The son of a Unitarian minister, Alger's own experiences with poverty and resilience, particularly after a series of personal and professional setbacks, inspired his focus on themes of ambition and morality. Living through an era marked by the rapid expansion of American society, Alger sought to impart hope and motivation through his narratives, making them accessible and relatable to his audience. "Brave and Bold" is highly recommended for readers who seek an inspiring and entertaining tale that captures the spirit of its time while emphasizing eternal virtues. Alger's work remains relevant in contemporary discourse about social mobility and the challenges of self-improvement. This novel serves not only as a captivating story but also as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the ideals that shaped American society.
