The Revenge of the Wizard's Ghost
The abandoned schoolhouse sits just outside the town of Duston Heights, Massachusetts, and Johnny Dixon is not sure what called him there. Inside the darkened building, he finds three chilling stained glass windows which show a hooded monster, a vengeful angel, and the hateful, staring face of Zebulon Windrow. Impossibly, the old man speaks to Johnny, threatening revenge on behalf of one of his descendants—and then the room is filled with horrible insects. As they cover Johnny’s body, moving closer toward his mouth, he awakes and escapes the nightmare. But is Johnny’s vision of the schoolhouse really just a dream, or is it a warning? When Johnny falls into a strange trance from which he cannot be awakened, his friend Professor Childermass races to save him. To rescue the young boy, the professor must unlock the secret of the dream and delve into the terrible mysteries of the Windrow estate. The Revenge of the Wizard’s Ghost is suspenseful, spooky listening for fans of R. L. Stine or anyone looking for a story featuring a middle-school-aged hero facing down grown-up-sized scares.

Amadeo Bola: El misterio del diamante galáctico
'Mi jefe estaba de pie y mirando por la ventana. Mala señal. Cuando mi jefe está de pie es más peligroso, porque puede saltarme a la yugular en un plis-plas. Y si encima mira por la ventana, desde las alturas, en plan filosófico, pensando en las hormigas de las calles...' En esta entrega de la saga de Amadeo Bola, su jefe le encarga vigilar la subasta del valiosísimo diamante que se llevará a cabo en Subasthy's, a cargo de la señora Teodora Guantesblancos. Por supuesto, la mala suerte que nunca abandona al detective más patoso del mundo hará que el susodicho diamante desaparezca durante la subasta, ¡y delante de sus propias narices! Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. Amadeo Bola es un detective un tanto peculiar: tiene intuición, inteligencia, y hasta perspicacia psicológica, pero ante todo, es tan patoso que parece imposible entender cómo logra resolver los misterios que se le presentan y acertar la mayoría de las veces. Y es que, hablando claro, así es: acierta de casualidad. Jordi Sierra i Fabra nació en Barcelona el 26 de julio de 1947. Es conocido por su obra como escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil y su trabajo como periodista musical. Su vocación de escritor es clara y firme desde muy temprano: confiesa que dio sus primeros pasos con tan sólo ocho años de edad y a los doce años ya escribió su primera novela larga, de quinientas páginas. Pese a su clara vocación no contaba con la aprobación o el entusiasmo de sus padres, quienes al acabar el bachillerato le obligaron a trabajar en una empresa de construcción durante el día y a estudiar para ser aparejador durante la noche. De su infancia ha dicho que 'fui tres veces reprimido: por mi padre, por el régimen y por la escuela franquista'. Aún así, su determinación y su tenacidad son más fuertes que cualquier obstáculo y sus insistentes cartas semanales a la cadena de radio Cadena Ser le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los fundadores de la revista 'El Gran Musical' en 1968. En 1970 pudo abandonar los estudios para convertirse en comentarista musical, lo que le permitió viajar por todo el mundo con grupos y artistas del momento mientras cubría sus actuaciones y escribir reportajes.
