Presta mucha atención y quizás lo soluciones. El lunes por la tarde, cinco estudiantes de Bayview High entran en detención. Bronwyn, el cerebro, está destinado a Yale y nunca infringe una regla. Addy, la belleza, es la princesa perfecta del regreso a casa. Nate, el criminal, ya está en libertad condicional por traficar. Cooper, el atleta, es el lanzador estrella del béisbol. Y Simon, el marginado, es el creador de la famosa aplicación de chismes de Bayview High. Solo que Simon nunca logra salir de ese salón de clases. Antes del final de la detención, Simon está muerto. Y según los investigadores, su muerte no fue un accidente. El lunes murió. Pero el martes, había planeado publicar revelaciones jugosas sobre sus cuatro compañeros de clase de alto perfil, lo que los convierte en sospechosos de su asesinato. ¿O son los chivos expiatorios perfectos para un asesino que todavía anda suelto? Todo el mundo tiene secretos, ¿verdad? Lo que realmente importa es hasta dónde llegarías para protegerlos. -- Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn't an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he'd planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose? Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

Percy Jackson es un buen niño, pero parece que no puede concentrarse en sus tareas escolares ni controlar su temperamento. Y últimamente, estar en un internado solo está empeorando: Percy podría haber jurado que su profesor de preálgebra se convirtió en un monstruo y trató de matarlo. Cuando la madre de Percy se entera, sabe que es hora de que él sepa la verdad sobre su origen y que vaya al único lugar donde estará a salvo. Ella envía a Percy al Campamento Mestizo, un campamento de verano para semidioses (en Long Island), donde descubre que el padre que nunca conoció es Poseidón, Dios del Mar. Pronto se desarrolla un misterio y, junto con sus amigos, uno un sátiro y el otro la hija semidiós de Atenea, Percy emprende una búsqueda por todo Estados Unidos para llegar a las puertas del inframundo (ubicado en un estudio de grabación en Hollywood) y evitar una guerra catastrófica entre los dioses. -- Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse - Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends—one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena - Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy by Anne Ursu If no one notices Marya Lupu, is likely because of her brother, Luka. And that’s because of what everyone knows: that Luka is destined to become a sorcerer. The Lupus might be from a small village far from the capital city of Illyria, but that doesn’t matter. Every young boy born in in the kingdom holds the potential for the rare ability to wield magic, to protect the country from the terrifying force known only as the Dread. For all the hopes the family has for Luka, no one has any for Marya, who can never seem to do anything right. But even so, no one is prepared for the day that the sorcerers finally arrive to test Luka for magical ability, and Marya makes a terrible mistake. Nor the day after, when the Lupus receive a letter from a place called Dragomir Academy—a mysterious school for wayward young girls. Girls like Marya. Soon she is a hundred miles from home, in a strange and unfamiliar place, surrounded by girls she’s never met. Dragomir Academy promises Marya and her classmates a chance to make something of themselves in service to one of the country’s powerful sorcerers. But as they learn how to fit into a world with no place for them, they begin to discover things about the magic the men of their country wield, as well as the Dread itself—things that threaten the precarious balance upon which Illyria is built.
