Anna Shirley, la heroína de la serie de novelas de la escritora canadiense Lucy Maud Montgomery, ha sido una figura querida en todo el mundo durante décadas. Han pasado cinco años desde que llegó a Avonlea como huérfana. Aunque siente que ha crecido, sigue siendo tan delgada y pelirroja como el día en que Matthew la llevó al Casa Verde. Ha decidido renunciar a su sueño de asistir a la universidad en Redmond para ayudar a Marilla en la granja. Asume la dirección de la escuela local con la firme determinación de que sus alumnos la adorarán, aunque a veces es difícil con niños como el malicioso Anthony Pye. Gilbert Blythe, a quien Anna consideraba su mayor enemigo, comienza a prestarle atención, mientras que su mejor amiga, Diana, parece madurar más rápido que ella. Anna convence a Gilbert, Diana y sus compañeros de infancia para formar la Sociedad de Embellecimiento de Avonlea, que a menudo causa más problemas que beneficios. Las inesperadas aventuras con los gemelos Davy y Dora, un loro grosero y una vaca confundida traen más emoción de lo que ella había anticipado.

Co může být děsivější než ti druzí? No přece my sami! Když je humor sci-fi… Být z jiné planety (a taky skoro poslední člověk ve vesmíru, na kterém závisí přežití zbytku lidstva) není žádná sranda. Anebo že by přece? Stačí jen přesvědčit obyvatele cizí planety, na které je zakázáno vyvolávat jakékoli emoce včetně smíchu, že lidé jsou naprosto mírumilovní, neškodní a užiteční tvorové a že si zaslouží dostat ještě šanci. I když si svoji vlastní planetu zničili. Přesně tohle dostanou za úkol Lani s rodinou. A nemají na to úplně moc času: týden. Proti nim stojí odhodlaní obyvatelé cizí planety, kteří jenom VYPADAJÍ jako komáři. A rozhodně se nehodlají smát. Ani zvednout koutek. To bude zábava! Vtipné a mrazivě trefné podobenství o nejpalčivějších problémech současnosti: migraci, fake news, mediální manipulaci a šíření nenávisti.

The dazzling new novel from Nicola Yoon, the New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?
