"La caza de brujas ha comenzado. Italia, campiña romana, siglo XVII. La joven Ade y su hermano pequeño huyen de la casa en la que se criaron porque la acusación que se cierne sobre ella la conduce directamente a la hoguera. En lo más profundo del bosque, encuentran refugio entre unas mujeres que, según los rumores, son hijas del diablo. Son las Ciudades Perdidas, profundas conocedoras de las plantas y de los astros, que han elegido ser libres, y que una sociedad supersticiosa e ignorante condena sin clemencia: son brujas. Para poder convertirse en una de ellas, Ade tendrá que completar un entrenamiento de siete semanas, durante las cuales, la instruirán en la ciencia, el arte, el combate y en sus rituales secretos. A este grupo de mujeres quieren darle caza los Benandanti, una congregación de hombres entrenados para la batalla con un único enemigo, las brujas. Y están decididos a acabar con ellas. Todos menos uno: Pietro, el hijo del líder, estudiante de Medicina, que no cree en supersticiones, y que, además, está enamorado de Ade y haría cualquier cosa por ella."

The Cricket in Times Square: Revised and updated edition with an afterword by Stacey Lee; read by Vi

"An updated version of The Cricket in Times Square, the timeless children's classic featuring a business-savvy mouse, a kind alley cat, and a talented country cricket, featuring a new afterword and revisions by YA author Stacey Lee. Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.
