INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Even when her best friend is moving away, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. And now she’s in a graphic novel! Third graders Amber Brown and Justin Daniels have been best friends since the day they first met in preschool. How great of a team are they? Amber helps Justin with his handwriting, and Justin helps Amber with her fractions. They sit next to each other in class and hang out together after school every day—that’s just how it’s always been. But when Justin finds out his family is moving away, everything starts to feel different. Amber gets sad whenever she thinks about Justin leaving, and Justin seems overwhelmed by all the change to come. Can the two besties figure out a way to say goodbye that will keep their friendship strong, no matter how far apart they are? This graphic novel adaptation of Paula Danziger’s classic chapter book adds layers of nuance to all of Amber’s ups and downs, making her story burst from the page even more than before.

It's finally summer and Amber Brown is going to London to visit her aunt Pam and then to Paris to visit with her father. She is one excited kid before she goes. And one itchy kid when she arrives. Mosquito bites, she thinks. Chicken pox, she finds out. Is her vacation completely ruined? And now that she can't go to Paris, how will she be able to convince her dad to move back home?

La vida de Julieta cambia rotundamente cuando en su camino se cruza Nicole. Niki se muestra segura, carismática, audaz, y, después de deslumbrar a Juli en el primer encuentro, se convierte en su compañera de clase y en su nueva mejor amiga. Así comienza un vínculo que se tornará intenso, y que irá asfixiando a Juli, desdibujándola, convirtiéndola en un apéndice. Y aunque las mejores amigas juran contárselo todo, Julieta sospecha que Niki le oculta algo muy grave. Ella necesita recuperarse, volver a rearmar su existencia, pero también descubrir qué es lo que está escondiendo Nicole. «Nuestra amistad es un cúmulo de sensaciones en blanco y negro. Es un contraste permanente entre la alegría y la pena. Entre la contención y el abandono. Entre la felicidad extrema de sentirme única y valiosa cuando me relata un secreto, y la angustia lacerante cuando Niki se enoja y se aleja».
