Crisanta Knight: Midnight Law

Geanna Culbertson

Sinopsis

“Life is not a balanced concept and stories are predicated in the understanding that obstacles will come. They always do. It is up to us to find a way to be true to ourselves while navigating through them.”

SJ, Daniel, Jason, and Blue have returned from Dreamland having achieved their goal of waking their two classmates trapped in a sleeping curse. The problem—their best friend Crisanta Knight didn’t make it back with them. With Crisa captured by the antagonists, our four heroes must team up with their fairytale friends to enact the ancient enchantment of Midnight Law. As they journey through more magical worlds than in any adventure before, and become entangled in the lore of Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, Rumpelstiltskin, and beyond, our heroes will need to face some hard truths about themselves and their relationships. And they have to hurry. Because if they don’t find Crisa by the time the clock strikes midnight, she’s not the only one who’s doomed . . .

Except Jake doesn’t think that’s a ridiculous idea. Why can’t they hold a pride festival in Barton Springs? The problem is, Jake knows he’ll have to get approval from the town council, and the mayor won’t be on his side. And as Jake and his friends try to find a way to bring Pride to Barton Springs, it seems suspicious that the mayor’s son, Brett, suddenly wants to spend time with Jake.

Hello Universe

Anónimo

Winner of the Newbery Medal
“A charming, intriguingly plotted novel.” —Washington Post
Acclaimed and award-winning author Erin Entrada Kelly’s Hello, Universe is a funny and poignant neighborhood story about unexpected friendships.
Told from four intertwining points of view—two boys and two girls—the novel celebrates bravery, being different, and finding your inner bayani (hero). “Readers will be instantly engrossed in this relatable neighborhood adventure and its eclectic cast of misfits.”—Booklist
In one day, four lives weave together in unexpected ways. Virgil Salinas is shy and kindhearted and feels out of place in his crazy-about-sports family. Valencia Somerset, who is deaf, is smart, brave, and secretly lonely, and she loves everything about nature. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic, whose little sister, Gen, is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just stop being so different so he can concentrate on basketball.
They aren’t friends, at least not until Chet pulls a prank that traps Virgil and his pet guinea pig at the bottom of a well. This disaster leads Kaori, Gen, and Valencia on an epic quest to find missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms.
The acclaimed author of Blackbird Fly and The Land of Forgotten Girls writes with an authentic, humorous, and irresistible tween voice that will appeal to fans of Thanhha Lai and Rita Williams-Garcia.
“Readers across the board will flock to this book that has something for nearly everyone—humor, bullying, self-acceptance, cross-generational relationships, and a smartly fateful ending.”—School Library Journal
