Discover the backstory of new Stranger Things fan favorite Robin–the perfect read for anyone looking forward to devouring the fourth season on Netflix—now available as a paperback!

High school is a monster, and it’s eating everyone Robin knows. It’s the beginning of sophomore year, and Robin’s Odd Squad friends couple up, won’t stop talking about college and their future careers, and are obsessed with trying to act “normal.” Robin knows that game well–she’s been pretending for years, hoping nobody would notice the sarcastic polyglot French horn player with a bad perm in the back of the room. But there’s one aspect of her identity that she knows for sure doesn’t fit in with her image–Robin likes girls.

How is she supposed to be her true self in teeny-tiny Hawkins, Indiana? Robin is convinced the only way she can experience real life is by fleeing to Europe for the summer–aka Operation Croissant. But she has no money, no permission, and no one to share the adventure with–and it will take a heck of a lot more than that to escape Hawkins in one piece.

Sprinkled with references to your favorite Stranger Things characters, this prequel chronicles one girl’s realization that the only person she really needs to be accepted by is herself.

But the truth about Starflight's tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: Not only do the NightWings live in a dark, miserable place, but they've imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • If you think you know the truth behind Dr. Brenner’s experiments at Hawkins Laboratory, prepare to have your mind turned Upside Down in the first official Stranger Things novel—“the prequel story that fans have been waiting for” (Kirkus Reviews).

It’s the summer of 1969, and the shock of conflict reverberates through the youth of America. As a student at a quiet college campus in the heartland of Indiana, Terry Ives couldn’t be farther from the front lines of Vietnam or the protests in Washington.

The remote lab, deep in the woods, contains a mystery Terry is determined to uncover.
 
Behind the walls of Hawkins National Laboratory—and the piercing gaze of its director, Dr. Martin Brenner—lurks a conspiracy greater than Terry could have ever imagined. To face it, she’ll need the help of her fellow test subjects.
 
Amid the rising tensions of the new decade, Terry Ives and Martin Brenner have begun a different kind of war—one where the human mind is the battlefield.

El maravilloso Mago de Oz fue publicado por primera vez en Estados Unidos el año 1900. Desde entonces se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura infantil, siendo traducido y editado en varios idiomas. Su autor, Lyman Frank Baum nos relata la historia de Dorothy, una niña que a causa de un tornado es trasladada junto a su casa y a su perro al Mágico Reino de Oz.  

En esta aventura llena de magia, amistad y valentía, Dorothy y su perro Totó son arrojados por un tornado a la tierra de Oz. Con la ayuda del espantapájaros, que busca un cerebro, el leñador de hojalata, que anhela un corazón, y el león cobardica, que desea armarse de valor, la joven emprende un viaje para encontrar al poderoso mago de Oz y regresar a su casa en Kansas.  Juntos emprenden el viaje por el camino amarillo hacia la Ciudad Esmeralda para conocer al gran Mago de Oz y pedirle su ayuda.

En el camino se encontrarán con la Reina de los Ratones del Campo; la Bruja Malvada; los Monos alados; los árboles luchadores; el país de las figuritas de porcelana; el país de los Quadlings y con la Bruja Buena que le concede un deseo a Dorohy.

A lo largo del camino, los personajes descubren que la auténtica magia reside en el coraje, el amor propio y el compañerismo.

Considerado el primer libro de literatura infantil fantástica propiamente, esta es una historia encantadora que enseña que la fuerza y el coraje se hallan siempre en nuestro interior.

Título original:  The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  Traducción al español de Concha Cardeñoso.

A mediados de diciembre de 1907, bajo un sol abrasador, una muchedumbre de obreros pampinos -con mujeres y niños- emprendió una larga caminata desde sus oficinas salitreras hacia Iquique a reclamar por mejores condiciones de vida y de trabajo. En la marcha por el desierto se trabaron amistades, rencillas y amores, pero nadie imaginó lo que les esperaba en la ciudad portuaria. Una novela que nadie podía escribir como este autor pampino que reconstruyó este episodio conjugando realidad y ficción, investigación e imaginación, para dar cabida a un relato profundamente conmovedor, que rescata el universo que Rivera Letelier mejor conoce: el de las salitreras, sus trabajadores, sus pasiones y sus fantasmas.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924), novelista checo, nacido en Praga y muerto en Viena, es uno de los autores más originales de nuestro tiempo. Su estilo es denso, apretado, lleno de alusiones, sus personajes aparecen rodeados de misterio y alucinación. Sus obras más famosas son América, El castillo, El proceso, La metamorfosis, así como una infinidad de cuentos, género en el que fue un maestro. Carta al padre (1919) representa, al margen de otros contenidos, la rebelión filial que identifica al padre como fuente de todas las represiones.

Myths! Lies! Recycling scams? Discover the real story behind the first Earth Day celebration and some of the biggest US climate catastrophes–and their solutions! Don’t miss the award-winning History Smashers series as they get to the truth on the biggest environmental fibs!

In April 1970, twenty million people grabbed their rakes, gloves, and recycling bins to celebrate the first Earth Day. Since that environmental kickoff, nature has never been in better shape. RIGHT?

WRONG! The real deal is a bit muddier than that. It’s true that the first Earth Day encouraged people around the globe to clean up their act when it came to the environment. But activists have been working for centuries to save the planet! Native people across the world developed sustainable farming practices, women in eighteenth-century India stood up to protect trees, and amateur scientist Eunice Foote discovered the science behind global warming all the way back in the 1850s!

Join the History Smashers team to bust history’s biggest misconceptions and figure out what in the world really went down before (and after!) the first Earth Day—and how you can join the fight to protect the environment.
