Invisible / Invisible (Spanish Edition)
Eloy Moreno • 2018
Emotiva, conmovedora, diferente... Invisible narra, a través de los ojos de un niño, una historia que podría ser la de cualquiera de nosotros.<br/><br/>¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez ser invisible?<br/><br/>¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez dejar de serlo?<br/><br/>El problema es que nunca he llegado a controlar bien ese poder: A veces, cuando más ganas tenía de ser invisible, era cuando más gente me veía, y en cambio, cuando deseaba que todos me vieran, era cuando a mi cuerpo le daba por desaparecer.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>Moving, emotional, different ... Through a child’s eyes, Invisible tells a story that could be that of any one of us.<br/><br/>Who hasn’t at one point wished they were invisible?<br/><br/>Who hasn’t wanted to stop being invisible?<br/><br/>The problem is that I have never been able to control that power: Sometimes, when I mostly felt a desire to be invisible, it was when more people saw me, on the other hand, when I wanted everyone to see me, it was when my body decided to disappear.

I'm Glad My Mom Died
Jennette McCurdy • 2022
<b>* #1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER * #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * </b><b>MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD!</b><br> <br><b>A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by <i>iCarly </i>and <i>Sam & Cat </i>star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. </b><br><br>Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.<br> <br>In <i>I’m Glad My Mom Died</i>, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called <i>iCarly</i>, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the <i>iCarly</i> spinoff <i>Sam & Cat</i> alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.<br> <br>Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, <i>I’m Glad My Mom Died</i> is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.
El niño con el pijama de rayas
John Boyne • 2012
<p> <b>El libro que conmovió a millones de lectores.</b> </p> <p>Estimado lector, estimada lectora:</p> <p>Aunque el uso habitual de un texto como éste es describir las características de la obra, por una vez nos tomaremos la libertad de hacer una excepción a la norma establecida. No sólo porque el libro que tienes en tus manos es muy difícil de definir, sino porque estamos convencidos de que explicar su contenido estropearía la experiencia de la lectura. Creemos que es importante empezar esta novela sin saber de qué trata.</p> <p>No obstante, si decides embarcarte en la aventura, debes saber que acompañarás a Bruno, un niño de nueve años, cuando se muda con su familia a una casa junto a una cerca. Cercas como ésa existen en muchos sitios del mundo, sólo deseamos que no te encuentres nunca con una. Por último, cabe aclarar que este libro no es sólo para adultos; también lo pueden leer, y sería recomendable que lo hicieran, niños a partir de los trece años de edad. <br> <b>El editor</b> </p> <p> <b>La crítica ha dicho...</b> <br> «Una historia que tiene mucho de fábula... una pequeña maravilla de libro». <br> <i>The Guardian</i> </p> <p>«Un libro que persiste en la memoria del lector. Sutil, de una exquisita sencillez y absolutamente conmovedor». <br> <i>The Irish Times</i> </p> <p>«Un libro tan sencillo, tan aparentemente accesible, que es casi perfecto». <br> <i>The Irish Independent</i> </p> <p>«Profundamente conmovedor». <br> <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> </p> <p>«Un libro que no se olvida». <br> <i>The Australian</i> </p> <p>«Extraordinario». <br> <i>The Irish Examiner</i> </p>

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Taylor Jenkins Reid • 2017
<b><b>“Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour.” —<i>BuzzFeed</i></b><br> <br> <b>“This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —<i>PopSugar</i></b><br> <br> In this entrancing novel, a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.</b><br><br>Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?<br> <br>Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.<br> <br>Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.<br> <br>“Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, <i>Us Weekly</i>), <i>The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo </i>is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (<i>Redbook</i>): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

Por eso nunca me gusta contar de que van mis libros, por eso prácticamente nunca pongo nada en las contras de mis novelas. Lo bonito de una historia es que te metas en ella sin saber qué te vas a encontrar.»<br> <br> <b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION</b><br> <br> <b>WHAT IF THE ONLY NORMAL THING IS TO BE DIFFERENT?<br> <br> After the success of <i>Invisible</i> and <i>Tierra</i>, Eloy Moreno returns to bookstores with one of the novels most awaited by readers.</b><br> <br> More than 600,000 readers await the new novel by Eloy Moreno, one of the most widely read and loved writers.
