NOVEDADES

Casandra es simpática, culta y rápida en sus respuestas, aunque su prodigiosa memoria a veces recuerda a la de Dori, la amiga del pez Nemo. También cuenta chistes malos y se muestra tan educada como zalamera al conversar. Sorprende con ideas únicas, desde un nuevo acuerdo social para superar esta época de malestar generalizado hasta imaginar máquinas enamoradas, «si la tecnología dejara de ser solo una herramienta y se volviera un interlocutor con vivencias propias». Pedro Vallín consigue casi superar esa misma barrera en este fascinante diálogo con una IA. Logra acercarse y acercarnos a un robot intelectual al que da identidad femenina e interroga sobre todos los asuntos que lo convierten en una amenaza potencial para nuestro futuro o en un formidable aliado para nuestra prosperidad: el empleo, el gobierno, las relaciones sociales, el nuevo orden mundial, incluso su propia «consciencia» como un ser de algoritmos.

Cuidado con lo que deseas… Grayson Masters está concentrado en sus estudios, y lo que menos falta le hace es que lo distraiga su nueva y atractiva compañera de piso. Y, aunque la lengua afilada de Sam es irresistiblemente irritante, es innegable que la química entre ambos está por las nubes. Samantha Fitzgerald oculta secretos, así que no tendría por qué hurgar entre los de Grayson, pero no por eso va a dejar de intentar derribar los muros tras los que este se esconde. Y no está preparada para la verdad: otra mujer se hizo con el corazón de Grayson hace ya mucho tiempo. Ninguno de los dos se puede permitir el lujo de enamorarse; ya que cuando cruzan esa línea, descubren que a veces los deseos cumplidos son lo que te lleva al infierno...

The Aldens spend the summer on Grandfather's island! Joe, the island's friendly handyman, helps them with anything they need, but as the children continue to explore their summer home, they realize there is more to the island and to their new friend than meets the eye. Adapted from Gertrude Chandler Warner's Surprise Island chapter book, this early reader allows children to step into reading with a Boxcar Children classic.

A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.

I’m just a girl. And it turns out, I’m Hercules. I’m struggling to survive in a Titan infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy-stammering foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens. My blood test reveals I’m part of the powerful elite. I’m one of them. A Spartan. Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, I undergo the most harrowing test of all time to see if I have what it takes to be an immortal. There’s just a few problems. Achilles and Patro are my scary mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, and Augustus, the son of war, are my terrifying professors. Also, I’m pretty sure either someone’s stalking me everywhere I go, or my sanity’s slipping––I have a bad feeling both are true.

For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry. When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam and becomes a highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome—and, instead of a qualified lab assistant, they give her a janitor. What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago, he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the privileged in power. At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever—if it doesn’t get them killed first.
