New Releases by Rainbow Rowell

Dopo aver scoperto di non poter contare sulle certezze del mondo magico e dopo essersi chiesti cosa fosse veramente autentico della loro magia, Simon, Baz, Penelope e Agatha devono decidere cosa fare delle loro vite. Per Simon, questo significa capire se vuole continuare a essere coinvolto nelle vicissitudini magiche dei suoi amici e, qualora scegliesse di non farne parte, quali sarebbero le conseguenze per sé e per la sua relazione con Baz. Nel frattempo Baz passa da una crisi famigliare all''altra, senza avere un momento per concentrarsi su se stesso. Penelope ha deciso di tornare a Londra con un Normale, ma quando sua madre lo viene a sapere la situazione si complica e lei dovrà affrontare tutto da sola. E Agatha Monamour? Be'', lei ne ha avuto abbastanza di tutti. Dopo Carry on e Un eroe ribelle, l''ultima tormentata ed emozionante avventura in cui i segreti saranno svelati, le domande riceveranno risposta e ogni cosa troverà la sua fine.

In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.

Collects Runaways (2017) #32-38. The Runaways are in a dark and scary place. There are so many pieces to pick up and choices to be made — and if the team is good at anything, it’s making bad choices. Which leads them to descend into one of the most terrifying Marvel Universe locations ever: high school! It goes better for some than others. But when Wolverine and Pixie of the X-Men arrive with an offer for Molly, she finds herself faced with the biggest decision of her young life: stay with the Runaways, or finally find a home on the mutant island utopia that is Krakoa? Meanwhile, Nico made a rough decision — and she’s about to pay for it. And just as the Runaways finally rebuild their lives, everything comes crashing to the ground. And at the center of it all is…Gert?!

New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell''s epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn''t, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she''s smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn''t sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

La esperada continuación de Moriré besando a Simon Snow, de Rainbow Rowell, la autora de Eleanor & Park. El Bestseller #1 instantáneo del New York Times y la ansiosamente esperada secuela de Carry On. Esta historia es para los que quieren saber qué pasa con el Elegido después de que salve el mundo. Para los que sienten más curiosidad por el segundo beso que por el primero. Simon Snow ha hecho todo lo que se suponía que había que hacer: vencer al malo, ganar la guerra...¡hasta se ha enamorado! Simon y Baz ya pueden vivir felices y comer perdices... Pero entonces, ¿por qué está Simon tirado en el sofá? Lo que necesita, según su mejor amiga, es un cambio de aires. Y así es como Simon, Penny, y Baz terminan cruzando el salvaje Oeste americano en un descapotable antiguo. Venga, Simon Snow. Aunque tu heroica misión haya terminado, tu vida no ha hecho más que empezar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he''s coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after… So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place. With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.

Explore o incrível universo de Simon Snow, o feiticeiro mais poderoso (e menos habilidoso) da literatura, em nova edição. Simon Snow é o Escolhido. Segundo as lendas, ele é o feiticeiro que garantirá a paz no Mundo dos Magos. Isso seria extraordinário se Simon não fosse desastrado, esquecido e um feiticeiro pouco habilidoso, incapaz de controlar seus poderes. Ele está no penúltimo ano da Escola de Magia de Watford, e, ao lado de sua melhor amiga Penelope e sua namorada Agatha, já se meteu nas mais variadas aventuras e confusões — algumas causadas por Baz, seu arqui-inimigo e colega de quarto, outras pelo Oco, um ser maligno que há tempos tenta acabar com Simon. Quando chega o novo ano letivo e Baz não aparece na escola, Simon suspeita que o garoto esteja tramando alguma coisa contra ele. As coisas começam a tomar um rumo ainda mais estranho quando o espírito da mãe de Baz, antiga diretora de Watford, aparece para Simon afirmando que quem a matou continua à solta. Quando Baz finalmente chega a Watford sob circunstâncias misteriosas, Simon não vê alternativa a não ser ajudá-lo a vingar a morte da mãe — o que pode ser o primeiro passo para que verdades avassaladoras sobre o Mundo dos Magos sejam reveladas. E para que tudo mude entre os dois garotos.

Simon Snow ha sconfitto il Tedio, ha ucciso l''Arcimago e ha trovato l''amore in Baz, il vampiro tanto odiato durante gli anni nella scuola di Watford. Ma sono successe troppe cose e Simon è cambiato, la scintilla nei suoi occhi si è spenta, si sta allontanando dall''amica Penelope e soprattutto da Baz. Come possono un mago e un vampiro, acerrimi nemici da secoli, vivere un amore senza pregiudizi? Penelope, l''ottimista del gruppo, pensa che un viaggio in America possa aiutare tutti a chiudere con il passato. Ma quella che parte come un''avventura on the road si trasforma presto in una vera e propria lotta contro un nemico sconosciuto e molto potente... Non gliel''ho mai detto, mai una volta. Non in modo che ci credesse. Che potesse comprenderlo e ci si aggrappasse. Tutto quello che rappresentava per me. Che era tutto per me.
