En esta última entrega de la trilogía «Guardianes de la Ciudadela», los destinos de los protagonistas se entrelazan una vez más, condicionados por secretos y revelaciones que pondrán en peligro los cimientos de su relación, pero que también podrían suponer la clave para salvar su mundo de la tiranía de los monstruos.Rox ha partido a la región del oeste, devastada por los monstruos, en busca de una aldea perdida habitada por Guardianes. Mientras una riada de supervivientes acude a la Ciudadela en busca de un refugio seguro, tras sus muros florece un nuevo movimiento filosófico, la Senda del Manantial, cuyo líder predica el fin del mundo conocido... para bien o para mal.Xein, por su parte, ha sido enviado a la Última Frontera, el lugar desde donde los Guardianes defienden la civilización de la amenaza de los monstruos, y de donde pocos regresan con vida. Axlin se ha propuesto rescatarlo; mientras prepara su viaje, y al investigar sobre la Senda del Manantial con la ayuda de Dex, encuentra pistas que la conducen a una época anterior a la Ciudadela, donde podría hallarse el origen de la plaga de monstruos que asola su mundo.La verdad es una joya de múltiples facetas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThere once was a story of adventures, magic, and intrigue that no one could put down…“Glass slippers, poisoned apples, peas under the mattresses ... Laura Gallego is a master in every way.” -Javier RuescasCamelia is a fairy godmother who, for three hundred years, has been helping young maidens and aspiring heroes to achieve their own happy endings. Her magic and her wit have never failed her, but everything starts to get complicated when they entrust Simon onto her, a stable boy who desperately needs her help. Camelia has solved many more difficult cases; but, for some reason, with Simon things begin to take inexplicable twists and turns.

Más de 6 millones de personas se han enamorado de La lección de August, el libro que inspiró el movimiento ELIGE SER AMABLE.Ahora la historia de Auggie está en la gran pantalla protagonizada por JULIA ROBERTS, OWEN WILSON, MANDY PATINKIN, DAVEED DIGGS y JACOB TREMBLAY como Auggie.Su cara lo hace distinto y él sólo quiere ser uno más.Aunque siempre trata de esconder su rostro, es objeto de miradas, susurros y reacciones de asombro. August sale poco, su vida transcurre entre las acogedoras paredes de su casa, en compañía de su familia, su perra Daisy y las increíbles historias de La guerra de las galaxias.Este año todo va a cambiar, porque va a ir por primera vez a la escuela. Allí aprenderá la lección más importante de su vida: crecer en la adversidad, aceptarse tal como es, sonreír a los días grises y saber que, al final, siempre encontrará una mano amiga.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOver 6 million people have read the #1 New York Times bestseller WONDER and have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.The book that inspired the Choose Kind movement.I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance."Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

A dual-language edition of contemporary stories from throughout the Hispanic world, perfect for learners of either languageThis volume of ten short stories, with parallel translations, offers students of Spanish at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature, without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary.Richly diverse in themes and styles, the stories are by both new and well-established writers and range from the sharp insights of Gabriel García Márquez’s “María dos Prazeres” and the teasing, deceptive simplicity of Javier Marías’s “On the Honeymoon” to Isabel Allende’s powerful evocation of the oral traditions of the Amerindian and the philosophical speculation of Laura Freixas’s “Absurd Ending.”Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.

Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish and have fun at the same time?Most of the time, teaching books are boring. They always have the same kind of format: Two (sometimes more) people talking about where the library is, or where to find Juan.That’s boring, and to be honest, it’s not a great way to learn the language (not to mention that they don’t always talk about things that you might encounter in your daily life, for example, a judgmental ghost, being the last man on Earth, or maybe find that the love of your life has been stolen). But in this book, I will give you 20 short stories that will range from science fiction to romance, everything in between and sometimes even more. These stories will give you an entire picture of the Spanish language, and how to appreciate the subtlety of the language.The Spanish language is rich, full of small differences between the different countries. Things that might be one way in Argentina might be different in Spain or Mexico. But don’t worry, with this book, you will have a firm grasp on the language, and you will be able to understand and have a conversation with any Spanish speaker.After each story, there will be a questionnaire section where you will answer questions about the stories in Spanish. I really suggest to grab a blank page, and write down the answers, or the small assignments that you will be given (don’t worry, they won’t be long!). Remember to write them in Spanish, so you can practice and use the language. Also, in this section, you will find grammar and fun facts not just from the stories themselves, but from the inspirations behind them, and facts about living in a Spanish country. I hope you like them.All these stories are written from my heart, and I deeply hope that you will find them funny, mysterious, romantic, or at least entertaining. That’s my goal as a writer, and I hope you enjoy your time reading (and learning!)Get your copy now!

Things that might be one way in Argentina might be different in Spain or Mexico. But don't worry, with this book, you will have a firm grasp on the language, and you will be able to understand and have a conversation with any Spanish speaker.After each story, there will be a questionnaire section where you will answer questions about the stories in Spanish. I really suggest to grab a blank page, and write down the answers, or the small assignments that you will be given (don't worry, they won't be long!). Remember to write them in Spanish, so you can practice and use the language. Also, in this section, you will find grammar and fun facts not just from the stories themselves, but from the inspirations behind them, and facts about living in a Spanish country. I hope you like them.All these stories are written from my heart, and I deeply hope that you will find them funny, mysterious, romantic, or at least entertaining.That's my goal as a writer, and I hope you enjoy your time reading (and learning!)Get your copy now!

Don Quijote de la Mancha

de Cervantes, Miguel
Publicaciones Ariel

Ariel Juvenil recoge las obras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal en una versión adaptada con ilustraciones tipo cómic. Don Quijote de la Mancha es parte de esta gran colección.El personaje de esta obra es maravilloso: loco, idealista y valiente. Don Quijote, fuera de tiempo, trata de revivir en su persona los ideales caballerescos de épocas antiguas, pasando mil y un sinsabores junto a su escudero, Sancho Panza, y su caballo Rocinante. Las aventuras de don Quijote, a veces cómicas, a veces trágicas, lo llevarán a recorrer casi toda España y a conocer a diversos personajes, ricos en historias y anécdotas. Y tanta es la fama de este noble hidalgo que su historia ha sido traducida a varios idiomas y se ha erigido como la obra más importante de la lengua castellana.
