-Titulo Original : Forbidden (Forbidden, 1)-Fabricante : Harpercollins-Descripcion Original: A sweeping, epic saga of romance and hardship, set against the dramatic backdrop of Ancient Mesopotamia-for fans of Cleopatras Moon or the adult bestseller The Red Tent. In the unforgiving Mesopotamian desert where Jaydens tribe lives, betrothal celebrations abound, and tonight it is Jaydens turn to be honored. But while this union with Horeb, the son of her tribes leader, will bring a life of riches and restore her familys position within the tribe, it will come at the price of Jaydens heart. Then a shadowy boy from the southern lands appears. Handsome and mysterious, Kadesh fills Jaydens heart with a passion she never knew possible. But with Horebs increasingly violent threats haunting Jaydens every move, she knows she must find a way to escape-or die trying. With a forbidden romance blossoming in her heart, and her familys survival on the line, Jayden must finish the deadly journey to save the ones she loves-and find true love for herself. Review “At its core, this is a romance, with all the push and pull that goes along with impossible love, and Little elevates the story by creating a perilous landscape, both outward and inward, as Jayden must deal with the hardship of desert life as well as her own desires.” -- Booklist (starred review) “A fast-paced, entertaining choice which will appeal to fans of historical fiction and romance.” -- School Library Journal “Rich historical details are deftly woven into Jayden’s narration, and the dynamics of Jayden’s tribe are vividly drawn.

-Titulo Original : Replica (replica, 1)-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: From Lauren Oliver, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy, comes an epic, masterful novel that explores issues of individuality, identity, and humanity. Lyra’s story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects-Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72-manage to escape. Gemma has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember. A lonely teen, her life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April.

Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions.
