INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

El cuatro de julio es un día importante para Helen Parker. Siempre había soñado con ver los fuegos artificiales desde lo alto del Empire State Building, pero lo que nunca habría imaginado era que un Rayo Lunar la convertiría en maga. Helen era esa chica de origen chino-americano que intentaba pasar desapercibida, la que sumergía la cabeza en sus cuadernos de dibujo y evitaba pensar en el futuro de su primera relación ayudando en el restaurante de sus padres. Sin embargo, ahora que conoce el lado oculto de Nueva York nada volverá a ser como antes. El colegio de magia Elmoon vuelve a abrir sus puertas. Allí es donde instruyen a los que fueron tocados por el rayo. Mientras ella solamente es una recién llegada que intenta controlar sus nuevos poderes, en Elmoon intentan averiguar qué hay detrás de los extraños sucesos que están teniendo lugar en Nueva York. La magia ha despertado. Una oscura amenaza está cada vez más cerca de dar con un preciado objeto oculto durante años. Y el dragón dorado, custodio de dicha pieza, tiene una misión: protegerla o morir en el intento.
