      Cuando Amy se dirige a la biblioteca de la escuela para recoger su libro favorito, Pippi Calzaslargas, descubre que no está en su estantería. En un principio piensa que otra persona se lo ha llevado, pero la bibliotecaria le explica que no es así: ella misma se ha visto obligada a retirarlo porque algunos padres creen que el libro no es apropiado para una escuela primaria. Con el paso de los días, la lista de libros censurados por el consejo escolar se irá engrosando. Amy y sus amigos reaccionarán y crearán su propia biblioteca, la Biblioteca de Libros Prohibidos la Taquilla, y vivirán una entretenida aventura en la que los grandes protagonistas son los libros. Una novela sobre chicas y chicos valientes, sobre la censura y sobre la libertad de leer.

    • Survive. At any cost. 10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.

      "It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war. Hideki lives on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When WWII crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted into the Blood and Iron Student Corps to fight for the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of instructions: Don't come back until you've killed an American soldier. Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed on Okinawa. He doesn't know what to expect -- or if he'll make it out alive. He just knows that the enemy is everywhere. Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island, surviving heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous traps. But when the two of them collide in the middle of the battle, the choices they make in that instant will change everything. From the acclaimed author of Refugee comes this high-octane story of how fear can tear us apart, and how hope can tie us back together"--
