fall.
Her school is choosing a new mascot and her idea is totally going to win!
She's going to kick butt writing for the school newspaper this term...
...Maybe.
A couple of weeks in, the newspaper is a big mess. The mascot contest is mayhem, too. (Who knew choosing a costumed character could cause such controversy?!)Then Nadia and Titi discover that the hippo amulet holds a second secret, one that's super powerful-and super scary. Too bad they have no idea how to stop it.
But Nadia is on the case! If she can solve the mystery of an ancient amulet, winning the mascot contest and acing her reporter

Un trágico día, Águeda muere electrocutada en su sillón de masajes y deja su inmensa fortuna a aquel pariente que consiga pasar doce noches en su colección de propiedades embrujadas. Fantasmas, muñecos poseídos, castillos encantados y un sinfín de aterradores escenarios esperan a los Chacón.
The great hunt is over. In the end, Timothy managed to keep his invaluable prize. A victory? Perhaps. But glory and adrenaline are very powerful narcotics, and tolerance builds quickly. Once deprived of them, life immediately becomes gray and bleak. What’s more, his beautiful lover (to be more accurate, both of them) is beginning to transparently hint that she could find herself a more interesting beau.
What is a talented player to do in this case? The solution suggests itself: rush headlong into the most dangerous adventures, taking risks and walking the blade of a knife. Timothy must do everything in his power to survive in places where making a clean escape is entirely impossible, delighting the viewers with his utterly unique playing style and proving decisively to his lady (to be more accurate both of them), that his previous success was no mere coincidence.
Will it be hard?
Very!
But old reliable friends are still by his side, and that means victory is possible!

El guardavías (The Signal-Man) es un relato de terror escrito por Charles Dickens y publicado en diciembre de 1866 en la revista literaria All the Year Round, dirigida y fundada por Dickens. El relato mezcla terror y elegancia y demuestra que pueden ir de la mano. Se trata de un cuento de terror clásico, sin variantes en la trama, aunque el verdadero talento del autor es el contraste que nos crea con la tranquilidad de pausas y llanos apacibles, y luego nos sacude con el horror psicológico que atormenta a sus personajes protagonistas. Aunque Dickens está considerado como un escritor realista, sus obras están plagadas de entes fantasmales y macabros, así como desarrolladas en ambientes sobrenaturales.
Está ambientado en el portal del túnel de Clayton, West Sussex, Inglaterra y fue inspirado por dos accidentes de trenes: el primero, un choque en este túnel, el 25 de agosto de 1861;1 el segundo, un descarrilamiento en Staplehurst de un tren donde viajaba el propio Dickens, el 9 de junio de 1865.
Este audiolibro cuenta, además de la narración, con diferentes efectos de sonido y canciones, utilizando una edición cuidada, llena de estímulos, para introducirte en esta fascinante historia de la manera más original, terrorífica y cautivadora posible.
