    Libro : Froggy Se Viste - London, Jonathan

    -Titulo Original : Froggy Se Viste (Spanish Edition)-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Vestirse para ir a retozar en la nieve no es tan facil como parece . . . especialmente para una ranita que no esta acostumbrada a salir en invierno.

    Book : He Must Like You - Younge-Ullman, Danielle

    -Titulo Original : He Must Like You-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: An authentic, angry, and surprisingly funny and romantic novel about sexual harassment, from award-winning author Danielle Younge-Ullman. Libbys having a rough senior year. Her older brother absconded with his college money and is bartending on a Greek island. Her dad just told her shes got to pay for college herself, and hes evicting her when she graduates so he can Airbnb her room. A drunken hook-up with her coworker Kyle has left her upset and confused. So when Perry Ackerman, serial harasser and the most handsy customer at The Goat where she waitresses, pushes her over the edge, she can hardly be blamed for dupming a pitcher of sangria on his head. Unfortunately, Perry is a local industry hero, the restaurants most important customer, and Libbys moms boss. Now Libby has to navigate the fallout of her outburst, find an apartment, and deal with her increasing rage at the guys whove screwed up her life--and her increasing crush on the one guy who truly gets her. As timely as it is timeless, He Must Like You is a story about consent, rage, and revenge, and the potential we all have to be better people. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-When the decisions of Libbys shit disturber dad leave her needing money for rent and tuition, she gets a server job. But the sandy-haired teens time gets cut short after a colleague sexually assaults her, prompting her to act rashly against an inappropriate customer who is extremely influential in her small town. Despite her resiliency, the combined burden of money troubles, family issues, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and being the center of a scandal drags her down, though she takes solace in her protective friend Emma and her burgeoning relationship with Noah. Bits of solidarity and normalcy lighten the load for Libby, and for readers. Younge-Ullman focuses on the idea of consent. She doesnt shy away from the thorny, gray areas and deliberately demonstrates the role communication has in preventing and healing from bad situations. While Libbys levelheaded narration reveals discouraging truths about the treatment of women, the book ultimately shows that women dont need to be diplomatic, and that harassment wont be tolerated. At first the title might seem like a misnomer, when it is in fact an eye-opening observation about a harmful, ingrained mindset that must be stamped out. VERDICT Younge-Ullmans genuine, informed, and engaging narrative safely guides readers through many facets of consent, relationships, and the treatment of women. It could prove a valuable resource to any teens education.-Rachel Forbes, Oakville P.L., Ont. Review One of the Ontario Library Associations 2020 Best Bets selection, Young Adult Fiction categoryPraise for He Must Like You: “There are few writers of any stripe capable of tackling important, tough topics with as much grace, heart, humor, and righteous fury as Danielle Younge-Ullman and nowhere is that more abundantly on display than in He Must Like You. This is a must-read.” - Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King “This novel opens a much-needed conversation about consent, boldly addressing personal and professional assault in an empowering, engrossing read. A must for young women.”- Lori Goldstein, author of Screen Queens Inspired by the well-intentioned but demeaning title phrase that girls hear when boys mistreat them, Younge-Ullman has produced a spot-on story that educates and illuminates the gray areas of sexual consent. Libby’s experiences with the adult offender are textbook examples of the indignities women have suffered in public and in private, and her male friends’ reactions speak volumes. Realistic fiction with lessons for all.-- Booklist “The novel takes on the topic of nonconsent and how deeply it is baked into male-female interactions in American society, a subject as fraught as things can get.” --Kirkus Reviews“[C]andidly considers rape cultur...

Chapter 1WHEN I STEPPED out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman-he looks tough and I don’t-but I guess my own looks aren’t so bad. I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have. My hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs, squared off in back and long at the front and sides, but I am a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut. Besides, I look better with long hair.I had a long walk home and no company, but I usually lone it anyway, for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie with someone it’s kind of uncomfortable, like having someone read your book over your shoulder. I’m different that way. I mean, my second-oldest brother, Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen, never cracks a book at all, and my oldest brother, Darrel, who we call Darry, works too long and...

    -Titulo Original : The Last Kids On Earth Thrilling Tales From The Tree House-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: The first ever graphic novel in the New York Times bestselling The Last Kids on Earth series--now with over 7 million copies in print! * A Netflix Original Series These SIX brand-new, full-color comics feature thrilling stories from the Last Kids crew-and finally reveal the mysterious whereabouts of two villainous villains to prep readers for the 7th book in the series coming Fall 2021! The kids and their monster buddies are hanging out in the tree house, when Jack launches into an epic, totally-heroic, super rad story of one of his many post-apocalyptic adventures. Of course, after hes finished, everyones eager to one-up his tale with a story of their own. Soon, Quint, Dirk, June and Skaelka, and even Globlet regale the group with sometimes outrageous, often hilarious details of their action-packed escapades during the monster-zombie apocalypse. Featuring original art by Anoosha Syed, Xavier Bonet, Lorena Alvarez, Jay Cooper, Christopher Mitten and The Last Kids on Earth series illustrator Douglas Holgate! From School Library Journal Gr 4-6-Brallier presents the first original graphic novel installment in his wildly popular Last Kids on Earth series, which centers on 13-year-old Jack and his friends June, Quint, and Dirk, who fight monsters after a zombie outbreak in their town. When their tree house sanctuary is attacked by a gigantic monster, the kids and their duo of monster comrades all want a piece of the creature. Each claims to be best suited to take down the terror, and all want to do it solo, so Jack suggests a storytelling competition to see who should get the honor of charging into battle. While the time suck of the contest framing device may frustrate some readers, theyll be pulled in by the exciting, absurd tales. The vibrant, full-color stories, each illustrated by a new collaborator who brings a different aesthetic, are separated by gray-tone cartoon segments in which the characters debate the accuracy of the stories and decide who should go next. Chock-full of baseball baddies, wicked witches, killer clowns, and so many monsters, the tales ferry readers to a satisfying conclusion as our heroes learn the power of teamwork-and get a surprise last-minute entry into the contest. Dated references (like a shoutout to MTVs Nineties-era Rock N Jock) aside, its an absorbing, thrilling read. June is Latinx, Quint is Black, and Jack and Dirk are white. VERDICT A sort of kid-friendly Canterbury Tales, this collection will be warmly received by the many fans of the prose series and the Netflix adaptation.-Abby Bussen, Muskego P.L., WI About the Author Max Brallier is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

    Book : Change Sings A Childrens Anthem - Gorman, Amanda

    -Titulo Original : Change Sings A Childrens Anthem-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: A lyrical picture book debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long I can hear change humming In its loudest, proudest song. I dont fear change coming, And so I sing along. In this stirring, much-anticipated picture book by presidential inaugural poet and activist Amanda Gorman, anything is possible when our voices join together. As a young girl leads a cast of characters on a musical journey, they learn that they have the power to make changes-big or small-in the world, in their communities, and in most importantly, in themselves. With lyrical text and rhythmic illustrations that build to a dazzling crescendo by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long, Change Sings is a triumphant call to action for everyone to use their abilities to make a difference. From School Library Journal Gr 1-3-A celebrated young poet and perennially bestselling illustrator pair up to invite readers on a musical celebration of change. Building a story on Gormans declamatory lines-I can hear change humming/ In its loudest, proudest song./ I dont fear change coming,/ And so I sing along-in typically polished, romanticized scenes, Long follows a small Black child carrying a big, beautifully decorated guitar as she gathers a thoroughly diverse group of young musicians to clean up a neatly littered playground, build a ramp for a child in a wheelchair, offer a meal to a homeless mom and son, and finally march beneath a huge urban mural. It proclaims, We are the change. I dont make a taller fence, the poet writes, But fight to build a better bridge. Readers will have to look elsewhere for leads to specific ways and means, but Gormans soaring appeal to sing along joins a long chorus of like calls and may kindle a fresh spate of young social activists. VERDICT So rich are both the art and the verses in uplifting imagery that its hard to imagine any young audience remaining unstirred by this call to be the change they want to see.-John Peters, Childrens Literature Consultant, NY Review “In rich language and vivid art, this hopeful celebration of the life-affirming power of change to ripple out into a better future is irresistible. Text and poetry work together to regulate a careful reading of this beautiful work.One to keep, to read, and to reread.”-Kirkus Reviews(starred review) “This uplifting serenade will instill readers of any age with hope for the future and the initiative to improve it.” -Publishers Weekly, (starred review)“A lovely and loving call to action and kindness.” -Booklist“So rich are both the art and the verses in uplifting imagery that it’s hard to imagine any young audience remaining unstirred by this call to be the change they want to see.” -School Library Journal“This inspiring call to action unambiguously suggests that every individual, regardless of age, can contribute to making the world a better place.” -The Horn Book About the Author Amanda Gorman is the youngest presidential inaugural poet in US history.

Emma Nolan and Alyssa Greene share the same goal: debut as a couple at their senior prom. Only a few things stand in their way-okay, maybe more than a few. For one, Alyssa hasn’t come out yet. It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but with a mother on the PTA who will stop at nothing to prevent same-sex couples from attending prom, it’s not a conversation she’s eager to have-with good reason. Before long, Mrs. Greene has the entire town backing her up, and it’s starting to look as though Emma and Alyssa won’t get their happily-ever-after. Then, out of the blue, two Broadway stars arrive on the scene to fight on the girls’ behalf (and get a little publicity along the way).

    Book : The Little White Horse - Goudge, Elizabeth

    -Titulo Original : The Little White Horse-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: I absolutely adored The Little White Horse.--J.K. Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter seriesWinner of the Carnegie MedalWhen orphaned young Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, she feels as if shes entered Paradise. Her new guardian, her uncle Sir Benjamin, is kind and funny; the Manor itself feels like home right away; and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But there is something incredibly sad beneath all of this beauty and comfort--a tragedy that happened years ago, shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it--and Maria is determined to learn about it, change it, and give her own life story a happy ending. But what can one solitary girl do? About the Author Elizabeth Goudge was born in 1900 in Somerset, England. She is the author of many bestselling books for children and adults, including I Saw Three Ships and Green Dolphin Street. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. A terrible sound . . .In mid-gallop Maria was halted by a strange and terrible sound, a thin high screaming that came threading through the happy sounds of the wind and the crying gulls and Periwinkle’s galloping feet, and pushing into her heart like a sharp needle.She pulled in her pony and sat listening, her heart beating fast with sudden fear. Away to her right, beyond a sombre belt of pine-trees, was a deep hollow filled with gorse and blackberry bushes, and from it came the frightening sound. Somewhere down there some child or animal was being hurt. She hesitated for only a moment, and then, gulping down the fear that had come up like a hard lump in her throat, she turned Periwinkle and rode hard for the hollow beyond the pines. . . .“For imaginative readers . . . this tale will have a strong appeal. There are richness of detail and a lovely use of color and light-sunshine, moonlight, and shadows, symbolically contrasted-to catch the fancy, and a spiritual quality in this parable of greed and pride vanquished by innocence and goodwill.”-The New York Times“Fantasy and reality meet on equal terms in an exciting mystery story in which all of the characters, both humans and animals, come alive, and stay alive from start to finish.”-The Horn BookOTHER PUFFIN BOOKS YOU MAY ENJOYFive Children and It E.

    Book : How It All Blew Up - Ahmadi, Arvin

    -Titulo Original : How It All Blew Up-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda goes to Italy in Arvin Ahmadis newest incisive look at identity and what it means to find yourself by running away.Eighteen-year-old Amir Azadi always knew coming out to his Muslim family would be messy--he just didnt think it would end in an airport interrogation room. But when faced with a failed relationship, bullies, and blackmail, running away to Rome is his only option. Right?Soon, late nights with new friends and dates in the Sistine Chapel start to feel like second nature... until his old life comes knocking on his door. Now, Amir has to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth to a US Customs officer, or risk losing his hard-won freedom.At turns uplifting and devastating, How It All Blew Up is Arvin Ahmadis most powerful novel yet, a celebration of how lifes most painful moments can live alongside the riotous, life-changing joys of discovering who you are. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-First let me get one thing straight: Im not a terrorist. Im gay. So begins this fast-paced coming out/coming-of-age/coming home story. Amir Azadi keeps a mental scorecard weighing the odds of rejection if his parents learn hes gay. Hes decided to wait until college to start real life. Then the blackmail starts, and suddenly Amir has skipped graduation and hopped a plane to Rome. This isnt the full plot-its barely the premise, and the whole story is told via monologue: The answers given by Amir and his family during questioning by Customs and Border Protection. Readers must accept that the airport interrogation is not where the drama lies either, but rather a clever frame, contrasting the unspoken and serious assumptions that put Amirs family in airport jail with the idiosyncratic, sometimes ridiculous, and always complex truths of who they really are. The interview transcripts cover Amirs arrival in Italy, his adoption by a group of gay men in their thirties, and the series of poor romantic decisions that immediately precede his return. Among these friends is Jahan, also of Iranian descent, who awards Amir points every time he learns about gay icons or queer culture. As Amirs Persian and gay identities start to feel like an asset, hes no longer willing to hide who he is. VERDICT A funny and propulsive read, nuanced and full of heart.-Miriam DesHarnais, Towson Univ., Baltimore?(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. Review Raves for How It All Blew Up:“Arvin Ahmadi has written a novel that is authentic, hilarious, and heart-wrenching all at once. A unique point of view combined with riveting storytelling, How It All Blew Up will grab you from the first page and won’t let go.”-Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give and On the Come Up “Arvin Ahmadi’s dazzling and ingenious new novel crackles with the terrifying exhilaration of facing up to who you are-and who you want to be. Amir’s journey leads him from the confines of the closet to the bacchanal of Rome, to an airport interrogation room, and, ultimately, to his true self.”-Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay“I was so stunned and moved and absolutely gobsmacked by this mas­terpiece of a story. Every single beat was perfect, and oh, how it blew me away. I truly believe we’ll be talking about this book decades from now as a classic.” -Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda“Arvin Ahmadis finest hour is here with How It All Blew Up. The compelling cast, heart-in-your-throat tension, eye-opening joy, and epic discoveries count down to a dramatic ticking time-bomb of a finale that will leave readers astonished.”-Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End“Filled to the brim with heart, wit, tenderness, and hope, How It All Blew Up had me savoring every page.

    -Titulo Original : Akata Woman (the Nsibidi Scripts)-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: The electrifying third book in the series that started with Akata Witch, named one of Timemagazines 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time and 100 Best YA Books of All Time, from award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor. In this series, Okorafor creates a stunningly original world of African magic that draws on Nigerian folk beliefs and rituals instead of relying on the predictable tropes of Western fantasy novels.-Time magazineFrom the moment Sunny Nwazue discovered she had mystical energy flowing in her blood, she sought to understand and control her powers. Throughout her adventures in Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, she had to navigate the balance between nearly everything in her life-America and Nigeria, the normal world and the one infused with juju, human and spirit, good daughter and powerful Leopard Person. Now, those hard lessons and abilities are put to the test in a quest so dangerous and fantastical, it would be madness to go...but may destroy the world if she does not. With the help of her friends, Sunny embarks on a mission to find a precious object hidden deep in an otherworldly realm. Defeating the guardians of the prize will take more from Sunny than she has to give, and triumph will mean she will be forever changed. From School Library Journal Gr 5 Up-Okorafor continues to explore the magical abilities of Nigerian-American albino Sunny, 15, and her Leopard People friends Chichi, Orlu, and American-born Sasha in this intriguing third book in the Afrofuturist fantasy series. The friends have been forced by giant spider spirit Udide to enter the spirit world to find a magical object called a ghazal that Chichis mother stole from Udide. If they dont succeed within seven days, Udide will destroy the Nimm village where Chichis royal mother grew up. As they journey through the magical world, they travel to a more advanced planet where nature is the greatest technology, wind up on the Road of Spirits, and encounter terrifying and powerful masquerades. Along the way, the friends learn more about their true spirit selves and the extent of their magical abilities. Sunny learns shes a ogbanje, a spirit thats able to glide effortlessly back and forth between worlds. She also learns more about the circumstances of her birth. In knowing her origins, she comes to better understand why her father resents her so much. Her burgeoning romance with Orlu is very sweet and she resolves some of her issues with her spirit face Anyanwu, too.
