Tara's daughters by Laura Gallego. SUMMARY: In a distat future, the Earth rebelled against humans and, in a few weeks, plants and animals destroyed all civilization, a huge jungle called Mannawinard appared instead. The survivors barricaded themselves in cities with high technology called dumes, and from there they started an atack to the forest to make it go back.

AGE: Since 12 years.
OPINIÓN: A great book, a mix within fantasy and science fiction. It has a bit of a methapor but it's really entretaining. Laura Gallego writes again about divinites that her characters worship, Tara in this case, it's important in the book but she writes it like something natural so she isn't focusing all the tiem in an invented religion.

Wonder by R. J. Palacio:

His face makes him diferent and he just wants to be one more. He always walks looking down, head down, bangs trying in vain to hide his face, but, even so, he is the subject of furtive glances, muffled whispers and nudges wonder. August leaves home little, his life revolves around the cozy walls of his house, including the company of his family, his dog Daisy and the incredible stories of Stars Wars.

This year all is going to change, because this year he is going to go for the first time, to school. There he will learn the most important lesson of his life, which is not taught in textbooks: grow in adversity, accepted himself as he is, smile to gray days and know that in the end, he will always find a helping hand.



http://prensa.edebe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/830427_La-isla-de-Bowen_PRMIO-2012_cast.jpgBowen's island by Cesar Mallorquí: 1920.  It started with the murder of the english sailor Jeremiah Perkins in Havoysund, in a small Norwegian pourt in the Artic, and with the mysterious package that, before he died, Perkins sent to Lady Elisabeth Faraday. Or maybe the story started before when some strange relics were found in a medieval crypt.Because it was one of that  imposible relics who made that the profesor Ulises Zarco, director of the geography asociation SIGMA, embarked on an unmaginable adventure on the  Saint Michel.Because, like Sherlock Holmes said: «When you have removed the imposible, what's left, however improbable,must be the truth.».

Divergent: In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
