"Ismael remembers the time when, at thirteen years old, his parents hired Rai, a boy five years older than him,…
to tutor him. After an unproductive first session, they made a pact: the student would study on his own and the teacher would talk to him about books, movies, music, life.... Also about Samuel, a young man who wrote to schedule a meeting with his ex-girlfriend, with the threat that if she did not show up he would commit suicide. With this starting point, Martín Casariego has written a novel of initiation, a novel about the passage from adolescence to maturity; about the family and the new forms of relationships between young people; about the intensity of such a decisive stage in life; about the weight of existence and how to alleviate it. A story marked by shadows, doubts and secrets, in which the white whale the narrator has been running from will end up showing up unexpectedly years later, changing everything and prompting him to rethink what happened." -- Translation provided by NLSGirl gone mad
Par Avery Bishop. 2020
"They say everything is fun and games until someone gets hurt. Well, someone did?and now the game has changed... Emily…
Bennett works as a therapist in Pennsylvania, helping children overcome their troubled pasts?even as she struggles to forget her own. Once upon a time, Emily was part of a middle school clique called the Harpies?six popular girls who bullied the new girl to her breaking point. The Harpies took a blood oath: never tell a soul what they did to Grace Farmer. Now, fourteen years later, it seems karma has caught up to them when one member of that vicious circle commits suicide. But when a second Harpy is discovered dead shortly after, also from apparent suicide, the deaths start to look suspicious. And when Emily starts seeing a woman who looks a lot like Grace Farmer lurking in the shadows, she's forced to wonder: Is Grace back for revenge? Or is Emily's guilt driving her mad? Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the Harpies are about to find out just how much words can hurt you." -- Provided by publisherEl amigo del héroe

"'It's not that I've chosen to be second place, I'm just a natural. Besides, I've believed in the goodness of…
second place for many years.' So begins The Hero's Friend, first published in 1998 and remastered for this edition. This story by Álvaro Enrigue dusts off the naivety and vanity of childhood: Ponchito, a child like any other, played at being the hero. A memorable literary exercise. A sobering experience. Enrigue puts himself at the feet of his protagonist and relives the dialogues of two middle school kids who in their relentless fight against crime are forced to face the ultimate and most unexpected consequences." -- Translation provided by NLSMaldad

shattering records. Now it promises to captivate audiences around the globe. Ikal is a student at the poorest village school on the Indonesian island of Belitong, where graduating from sixth grade is considered a remarkable achievement. His school is under constant threat of closure. In fact, Ikal and his friends-a group nicknamed the Rainbow Troops-face threats from every angle: skeptical government officials, greedy corporations hardly distinguishable from the colonialism they've replaced, deepening poverty and crumbling infrastructure, and their own low self-confidence. But the students also have hope, which comes in the form of two extraordinary teachers, and Ikal's education in and out of the classroom is an uplifting one. We root for him and his friends as they defy the island's powerful tin mine officials. We meet his first love, the unseen girl who sells chalk from behind a shop screen, whose pretty hands capture Ikal's heart. We cheer for Lintang, the class's barefoot math genius, as he bests the students of the mining corporation's school in an academic challenge. Above all, we gain an intimate acquaintance with the customs and people of the world's largest Muslim society. This is classic storytelling in the spirit of Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner: an engrossing depiction of a milieu we have never encountered before, bursting with charm and verve." -- Provided by publisherCambiando tus reglas (Tus reglas, mi juego #03)
