Life in her traditional Mennonite community is peaceful, if a little dull, for twelve-year-old Beth who dreams of being an artist. She goes to school, helps with the cooking and cleaning at home, and works with her parents at the local farmer's market. One Saturday, however, excitement shows up in the form of a determined lawyer from New York City who insists she needs a family cookie recipe to win a multi-million-dollar lawsuit.
Beth's parents are bemused, but her grandmother is equally determined that the recipe will not leave her kitchen. As she tries to balance her love for her family and her faith with the promises of adventure New York could bring to her future, Beth learns that she is stronger than she believes. And sometimes, adventures happen close to home.
Cheeky, a fun-loving river otter, and Charlemagne, a persnickety pine marten, are sent on a dangerous mission to help the furry animals of the North Country. Join these friends, and their woodpecker scout, Bandit, as they navigate raging rivers and hike tall mountains, while crossing paths with a mountain lion, surviving a blinding blizzard, and discovering the perilous danger of hidden traps. Will they arrive in time to save the animals from poisoned whizzer darts?

Madán Golosín tiene la fea costumbre de jugar malas pasadas a los pequeños clientes de la tienda de chucherías que regenta frente al parque llano, el sitio al que acuden a diario casi todos los niños y niñas de Pomares. Matilde, Manuel y las dos Marías deciden darle un escarmiento, y para ello crean una asociación secretísima, el Club de las Cuatro Emes. Mientras planean su venganza, averiguan que Madán Golosín tiene un grave problema familiar que los hará cambiar de planes para intentar ayudarla, en una aventura en la que contarán con la apática complicidad de la perrita Lulú y que los llevará a descubrir que las cosas no siempre son lo que parecen y que hay juegos a los que es mejor no jugar.
'Érase una vez…
… un comerciante de Varese llamado Bianchi que, durante seis días a la semana, realizaba viajes por toda Italia, de este a oeste y de sur a norte vendiendo medicamentos. Los domingos volvía a casa y los lunes se marchaba de nuevo. Pero, antes de irse, su hija pequeña siempre le decía: papá, cuéntame un cuento.'
Así comienza una de las obras más famosas del gran genio revolucionario de la literatura infantil y la pedagogía, Gianni Rodari.
Premio Edebé de Literatura Juvenil 2021
Yo era una chica tan común como cualquier otra. Iba a clase, discutía con mis padres, amaba incondicionalmente a mis amigos y, de vez en cuando, me enamoraba de quien no debía, como le pasa a todo el mundo. No había nada novelesco en mí, nada heroico que mereciera un puñado de páginas, y por eso esta historia no tratará de mis padres ni de mis colegas ni de mis enamorados; no tratará sobre la rutina de una estudiante de Bachillerato que se aburre en el instituto... Esta historia tendrá una sola protagonista y esa protagonista será una nariz. Una nariz célebre, desproporcionada. La nariz de un héroe nacido en Bergerac y de nombre Cyrano.
