-Titulo Original : Dork Diaries 1 Tales From A Not-so-fabulous Life (1)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: Nikki Maxwell is starting eighth grade at a new school-and her very first diary is packed with hilarious stories and art in this SUPER SQUEE updated edition of the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series! Nikki confesses all in her first diary ever: her epic battle with her mom for an iPhone, meeting her new soon-to-be BFFs Chloe and Zoey, falling for adorably sweet crush Brandon, dealing with her zany little sister Brianna’s antics-and the immediate clashes with mean girl MacKenzie, who becomes Nikki’s rival in a school-wide art competition. Nearly 30 million books in print worldwide! From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-Fourteen-year-old Nikki J. Maxwell has been awarded a scholarship to a prestigious private middle school as a part of her fathers bug extermination contract. Her angst as she deals with the resident mean girl, her embarrassing parents, her crush on the hot boy, and making new friends are all recorded alongside numerous sketches of her life. Although occasionally amusing, Nikki is not a very likable character. She is shallow and self-centered and fails to show any growth in the book, even as she one-ups popular and cruel MacKenzie in the end. In fact, Nikki, who steals her neighbors hearing aid and plays pranks on her little sister, is somewhat of a mean girl herself. All the other characters are underdeveloped, including Nikkis family and her new BFFs, Chloe and Zoey. Black-and-white drawings, which are often witty, appear throughout the text, which is printed on lined pages as though from a diary.

Chapter One ONE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?” Keefe shouted over the howling wind and the roaring sea. “Don’t tell me the great Sophie Foster is afraid.” “I’m just trying to concentrate!” Sophie shouted back, wishing her voice didn’t sound so shaky. Not that she could fool him. As an Empath, Keefe could feel the terror coursing through her veins like a herd of stampeding mastodons. All she could do was tug out an itchy eyelash-her nervous habit-and try not to think about how very far down the ocean was. “You should be afraid,” Sandor told her in his strange, squeaky voice. He placed a gray gobliny hand on Sophie’s shoulder and pulled her back from the edge of the cliff. “There has to be a safer way to teleport.” “There isn’t.” Most of the time Sophie was grateful to have the constant protection of a burly bodyguard-especially since her kidnappers had proven they could find her anytime, anywhere. But sometimes she had to take risks. She shrugged off Sandor’s hand-which took quite a lot of effort, considering he was seven feet tall with biceps like giant boulders-and inched forward, reminding herself that she liked teleporting better than light leaping. Despite the nexuses she had clamped on each wrist, or the force fields they created to hold her body together during a leap, she’d faded too many times to truly feel safe. Still, she wished free-falling wasn’t an essential part of teleporting. “Want me to push you?” Keefe offered, laughing as Sophie jerked away from him. “Come on, it’ll be fun-for me, at least.” Dex snorted behind them. “And he gets to go with you today.” “Uh, more like she gets to go with me,” Keefe corrected, flashing his trademark smirk. “Go on, tell Dex who the Council contacted first.” “Only because your dad’s in charge of arranging visits to the Sanctuary now,” Sophie reminded him. “Eh, firsties is still firsties. Just admit it, Foster. You need me.” Sophie wished she could argue, but unfortunately the Council did want Keefe to go with her. Apparently Silveny was having some sort of trouble at her new home in the elves’ special animal preserve, and since Sophie and Keefe each had a connection with the precious alicorn, the Council had asked both of them to head to the Sanctuary immediat...

The mystery of dinosaur extinction is solved! Scientists have plenty of theories about why dinosaurs are extinct, but the UK’s bestselling authorillustrator team of Claire Freedman and Ben Cort knows the real answer: The dinos were wiped out in an Underpants War!

All dinosaurs follow the obsessive fad, escalating to a manic dino tug-of-war that wipes out every order, saving mankind.

From Booklist As long as you can suspend all sense of evolution, literature, and good taste and are of a single-digit age, you’ll crack up with hysterics at this theory of dinosaur extinction from the creators of Aliens Love Underpants (2007). According to the story, cavemen began to feel “embarrassed in the nude,” and so they “dreamed up underpants,” which the dinos coveted and copied, creating a mass frenzy that escalated into a Mighty Underpants War and the end of the giant beasts. Once again, the rhyming text and illustrations turn this into a comic delight.

-Titulo Original : The Unwanteds (1)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: A riveting middlegrade dystopian novel from New York Times bestselling Wake author Lisa McMann that Kirkus Reviews calls “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.” Every year in Quill, thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories: the strong, intelligent Wanteds go to university, and the artistic Unwanteds are sent to their deaths. Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the death farm there is instead a place called Artime. In Artime, each child is taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and its a wondrous transformation. But its a rare, unique occurence for twins to be separated between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aarons bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle. Review The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this middle-grade departure from McManns string of paranormal mysteries with romance for young adults. On the day of Purge in totalitarian Quill, which is run by the High Priest Justine, 13-year-olds learn if they are deemed Wanted to attend the university, Necessary to tend the land or Unwanted and purged by execution. Without a good-bye from his Wanted identical brother Aaron, Alex Stowe and the other Unwanteds travel to the Death Farm. Instead of death, they meet the lush and magical world of Artime, kept secret from Justine by mage Marcus Today. In a third-person narration characterized by even pacing and whimsical inventions, Alex and his peers learn that their creativity threatened Justines power. Surrounded by talking blackboards, transporting tubes and such fantastical creatures as an octagator (with the head of an alligator and body of an octopus) for instructors, the teens hone their drawing, music and acting skills while also wielding paintbrushes for invisibility spells and iambic pentameter to stun attackers during Magical Warrior Training, in preparation for battle against the Quillitary. As the youths explore fear, responsibility and free thinking, their spells may be used sooner than they think when Alexs twin bond is tested and rivals vie for Aarons new position in Justines government. Blending elements from two popular genres, this is sure to be a double hit. - KIRKUS, April 15, 2011 Imagination runs wild in this creative adventure. --#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Mull Reading Lisa McManns THE UNWANTEDS was like discovering a brilliant, lost childrens classic--except its never going to be lost, because readers will never, ever forget the magic theyll experience in its pages. --James A.
