'The little match seller' or 'The little match girl' is a very famous fairy folk tale, written by Hans-Christian Andersen. On a cold New Year's Eve, a young, poor girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is already shivering from cold. She shelters in a nook and sits down. The girl lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow she sees several lovely visions, including a Christmas tree and a holiday feast. The girl looks skyward and sees a shooting star; she then remembers her grandmother saying that such a falling star means someone is dying and is going to Heaven. As she lights the next match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. She strikes one match after another to keep the vision of her grandmother alive for as long as she can...

Both Rapunzel and Prince Benjamin are trapped--in very different ways. Once their paths cross, well, that's when things get really strange.

'Beautifully written and spectacularly spooky, Ravenous Things is an instant new favorite!' —Claribel Ortega, New York Times best-selling author of Witchlings Climb aboard the midnight train! Things wondrous and terrible await you... Twelve-year-old Reggie Wong has a quick temper that's always getting him into trouble at school, while at home his mom struggles to get out of bed--let alone leave their apartment. That's why Reggie desperately needs his dad back. One problem: His dad is dead. Enter the Conductor, a peculiar man who promises to make Reggie's wish to see his father just one more time come true. All he must do is climb aboard the man's subway train, which leaves St. Patrick Station promptly at midnight. Desperate to have his dad and happy family back, Reggie takes him up on the offer, only to discover the train is filled with other children who have lost a loved one, just like him. As he speeds through the wild, uncharted tunnels beneath the city, Reggie meets Chantal, an annoyingly peppy girl obsessed with lists and psychiatry, and Gareth, his arch-nemesis and bully since the fourth grade. As each kid steps off the train and into the arms of their lost family member, Reggie can't believe his impossible wish is about to come true. But when Reggie comes to the end of the line and sees his father waiting for him, he soon discovers all is not as it seems. He and his unlikely new friends have been ensnared in a deadly trap. Together, the three must find a way to foil the Conductor's diabolical plot and find their way out of the underground subway where horrors worse than they have ever imagined lurk around every corner. The rats of St. Patrick Station have taken over and they're absolutely ravenous. In this stunning debut, author Derrick Chow reenvisions the tale of the Pied Piper. Both terrifying and hauntingly beautiful, Chow masterfully uses literal and figurative monsters to explore the themes of grief and how we handle loss.

Re e Stregoni: Un Racconto Breve
"Se credi di non avere più un motivo per vivere dopo la fine della serie L'ANELLO DELLO STREGONE, ti sbagli. In L'ASCESA DEI DRAGHI, Morgan Rice ha inventato quella che promette di essere un'altra serie brillante, immergendoci in un fantasy di troll e draghi, valore, onore, coraggio, magia e fede nel proprio destino... Consigliato nella libreria di tutti i lettori che amano i fantasy ben scritti." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos RE E STREGONI: UN RACCONTO BREVE è un originale e imperdibile complemento della serie numero uno, RE E STREGONI, che inizia con L'ASCESA DEI DRAGHI (Libro #1), scaricabile gratuitamente con oltre 1.000 recensioni a cinque stelle. Funge anche da storia autoconclusiva ed è un'ottima introduzione al mondo di Escalon. Nella serie RE E STREGONI, Kyra, 15 anni, sogna di diventare un guerriero famoso, come suo padre, nonostante sia l'unica ragazza in una fortezza di maschi. Mentre lotta per comprendere le sue abilità speciali, il suo misterioso potere interiore, scopre di essere diversa dagli altri. Ma un segreto sulla sua nascita e sulla profezia che la circonda le è stato celato, lasciandola a chiedersi chi sia davvero. Appena Kyra raggiunge la maggiore età, il lord locale va a chiedere la sua mano. Suo padre vuole dargliela in moglie per salvarla, ma Kyra rifiuta e si avventura da sola in una foresta pericolosa, dove incontra un drago ferito e innesca una serie di eventi che cambieranno il regno per sempre. Il quindicenne Alec, nel frattempo, si sacrifica per suo fratello, prendendo il suo posto di recluta, e viene inviato a Le Fiamme, un muro di fuoco alto trenta metri che respinge l'esercito di Troll a est. Dal lato opposto del regno, Merk, un mercenario che sta lottando per lasciarsi alle spalle il suo passato oscuro, si avventura nella foresta per diventare un Sorvegliante delle Torri e salvaguardare la Spada di Fuoco, la fonte paranormale del potere del regno. Ma i Troll vogliono anch'essi la Spada e si preparano per un'invasione di massa che potrebbe distruggere il regno per sempre. Questa storia originale ci riporta indietro nel tempo, a quando Kyra aveva solo 7 anni, e ci mostra un momento grandioso nella sua fausta vita misteriosa. Con la sua atmosfera forte e i suoi personaggi complessi, RE E STREGONI è una saga romantica e di successo che narra di cavalieri e guerrieri, di re e signori, di onore e valore, di magia, azione, avventura, destino, stregoneria, mostri e draghi. È una storia di amore e cuori infranti, di delusione, di ambizione e tradimento. È un fantasy estremo, che ci porta in un mondo che vivrà dentro di noi per sempre, uno che soddisfa persone di ogni genere ed età. "[Il primo libro in] RE E STREGONI convince, sin dall'inizio... Un fantasy superiore... Inizia come dovrebbe, con le lotte di un protagonista, per poi spostarsi con cura in un più ampio circolo di cavalieri, draghi, magia, mostri e destino... Possiede tutte le caratteristiche di un fantasy degno di nota, dai soldati e dalle battaglie ai confronti con se stessi... Un prodotto vincente, consigliato per tutti coloro che apprezzano l'epica scrittura fantasy alimentata da protagonisti giovani, potenti e credibili." -Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer
