SINOPSIS
El palacio de hielo es una hermosísima historia de amistad entre
dos niñas, Siss y Unn, de once años, y la dolorosa huella que la muerte de una
de ellas deja en la otra. Historia de una amistad más fuerte que el amor y la
muerte, surgida de un breve encuentro en el que las protagonistas juran que se
recordarán siempre. Siss, una muchacha despierta, líder de su clase en la
escuela, vive intrigada por Unn, una niña de su misma edad llegada al pueblo
para vivir con su tía, ya que es huérfana de madre soltera. Tímida, solitaria,
siempre aislada de los demás, Unn parece encerrar un secreto que Siss quiere
compartir. La amistad entre ambas quedará truncada, apenas iniciada, por la
desaparición de Unn, muerta en el interior del palacio de hielo, donde penetra
sola, un día en que falta a la escuela.

Publishing news: JULY 2018
Tomorrow starts july! And as always,
here we leave the publishing news of the month that we are most eager to read.
MARTA’S PROPOSAL:
“Stars of fortune” by Nora Roberts
Abstract: Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by vivid
dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Desperate to
understand her visions, she finds herself drawn to the Greek island of Corfu.
She has only just arrived when she encounters Bran Killian, an Irish magician
with a warm charisma and secrets dancing in his eyes. Sasha has never met Bran
before, but she knows him only too well - because this is the man from her
dreams. The man she has painted over and over again. The man she seems fated to
be with...if she can find the courage to accept who she really is.
Sasha soon discovers
that four other strangers have been lured to the island. Like Bran, they are
all desperately searching for a mysterious jewel known as the fire star -
before it falls into the wrong hands. Together, they might just succeed. But
first they must learn to trust one another, and reveal their deepest secrets.
On the sun-drenched
island of Corfu, love and magic are sparked into life. And for Sasha, nothing
will ever be the same again.
SARAH’S PROPOSAL:
“F*ck Off, I'm
Coloring!: Swear Words to Color for Comfort” by
Caitlin Peterson
Abstract:
The latest volume in our successful
sweary coloring book series! F*CK OFF, I’M COLORING offers 30 all-new filthy
words to color for relaxation and dirty mindfulness. Features: perforated pages
for easy framing, one-side printing so colors don't bleed through and instant
stress relief and humor.
ROCÍO’S PROPOSAL:
“The Incendiaries” by R.O. Kwon
Abstract:
A powerful, darkly glittering novel
about violence, love, faith, and loss, as a young Korean American woman at an
elite American university is drawn into acts of domestic terrorism by a cult
tied to North Korea. Phoebe Lin and Will Kendall meet their first month at
prestigious Edwards University. Phoebe is a glamorous girl who doesn’t tell
anyone she blames herself for her mother’s recent death. Will is a misfit
scholarship boy who transfers to Edwards from Bible college, waiting tables to
get by. What he knows for sure is that he loves Phoebe.
Grieving and guilt-ridden, Phoebe is
increasingly drawn into a religious group—a secretive extremist cult—founded by
a charismatic former student, John Leal. He has an enigmatic past that involves
North Korea and Phoebe’s Korean American family. Meanwhile, Will struggles to
confront the fundamentalism he’s tried to escape, and the obsession consuming
the one he loves. When the group bombs several buildings in the name of faith,
killing five people, Phoebe disappears. Will devotes himself to finding her,
tilting into obsession himself, seeking answers to what happened to Phoebe and
if she could have been responsible for this violent act. “The Incendiaries” is
a fractured love story and a brilliant examination of the minds of extremist
terrorists, and of what can happen to people who lose what they love most.
What do you think? Is
there any other book that you want to read during this month? Is there a book
