Solimar
"Middle-grade fans of Pam Muñoz Ryan''s Esperanza Rising, will find a new Mexican heroine to love in Solimar and a fresh, magical story! On the brink of her Quinceañera, and her official coronation, Solimar visits the oyamel forest to sit among the monarch butterflies. There, the sun pierces through a sword-shaped crevice in a boulder, which shines on her and sends the butterflies humming and swirling around her. After the magical frenzy, she realizes she''s been given a gift--and a burden: she can predict the near future! She has also become a protector of the young and weak butterflies. This alone would be a huge responsibility, but tragedy strikes when a neighboring king invades while her father and brother and many others are away. The remaining villagers are taken hostage--all except Solimar. Can this princess-to-be save her family, the kingdom, and the future of the monarch butterflies from a greedy and dangerous king?"--

Echo

release date: Feb 23, 2016
Echo
Otto si è perso in una foresta proibita, dove incontra tre misteriose sorelle, costrette a vivere in un mondo senza tempo. Una profezia, una promessa e un''armonica potranno salvarle? Molti anni più tardi, la stessa armonica intreccerà in un filo di seta e musica il destino di tre ragazzi: Friedrich, giovane aspirante direttore d''orchestra nella Germania nazista, Mike, orfano in Pennsylvania, e Yve, scolara californiana, considerata di serie B per le sue origini. Le sfide da affrontare sono difficili: salvare un padre dal campo di concentramento, proteggere un fratello, riunire una famiglia. Ma ogni protagonista imparerà a comporre la propria melodia e la propria storia in una sinfonia magica. Una narrazione affascinante, un inno al potere della musica contro l''ingiustizia e l''intolleranza che risuona nel cuore fino all''ultima nota. «Tre personaggi contemporanei che con fiducia e perseveranza scriveranno il lieto fine alla propria storia, ispirando la stessa fiducia nei lettori.» «Dopo aver letto questo incantevole romanzo, non vedrai più un''armonica con gli stessi occhi. Dall''inizio alla fine, pagine di gioia pura. La musica cresce, la storia canta.»
