Zodiac Academy

Peckham • 2021

**This is a retelling of book 1 of Zodiac Academy from the perspective of Orion, Darius, Caleb, Seth and Max** The Vega twins are alive. Those five words circle in my mind like an oncoming storm. They change everything about the future we thought had been set in stone. They challenge everything we were raised to be and the stability of the entire kingdom. They're coming to our academy looking for the life that was stolen from them, but we can't let them take it back. So much hangs in the balance and we can't risk the arrival of two naïve princesses destroying everything we worked so hard for. I have trained in dark magic, overcome all challenges and stood in the shadow of Lionel Acrux for far too long already. I won't let them come between me and his downfall. Which means they have to go before they discover how powerful they truly are. This is a retelling of the first book in the Zodiac Academy series from the point of view of Orion and the Heirs and should be read after you have finished the original story. It includes scenes from alternative points of view as well over 50k words of additional content and scenes which have never before been revealed. So prepare to step into the dark minds of the Zodiac boys and watch out for the heartbreak and carnage that will ensue.

Nicky, la aprendiz de bruja

Eiko Kadono • 2019

La novela en la que se basa una de las películas más aclamadas de Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli). Como dicta la tradición, todas las brujas adolescentes deben pasar un año fuera de casa para aprender a valerse por sí mismas. Nicky, de madre bruja y padre humano, tiene una única habilidad destacable: la de volar. Cuando llega el momento de marcharse por su cuenta, ella y su sarcástico gato parlante parten en su escoba para buscar alguna ciudad sin bruja propia donde puedan ofrecer sus servicios mágicos. "Nicky, la aprendiz de bruja" es la preciosa novela de Eiko Kadono (premio Hans Christian Andersen) que Studio Ghibli popularizó en todo el mundo con su adaptación cinematográfica, dirigida por Hayao Miyazaki y una de las más emblemáticas de la productora. El libro, inédito hasta ahora en español, se ha convertido en un clásico contemporáneo de la literatura infantil y fantástica japonesa. Esta edición, traducida directamente del japonés, incluye las ilustraciones originales de Akiko Hayashi.
