A poignant, coming of age story about a Cuban-American girl trying to figure out where she belongs--both in her ballet-loving family and the wider world. Perfect for fans of Front Desk and Merci Suárez Changes Gears.
It's a good thing Sofía Acosta loves dreaming up costumes, because otherwise she's a ballet disaster-unlike her parents, who danced under prima ballerina Alicia Alonso before immigrating to the suburbs of New York. Luckily, when the Acostas host their dancer friends from Cuba for a special performance with the American Ballet Theatre, Sofía learns there's more than dance holding her family together. Between swapping stories about Cuba and sharing holiday celebrations, the Acostas have never been more of a team.
Then Sofía finds out about the dancers' secret plans to defect to the United States, and makes a serious mistake-she confides in her best friend, only to discover that Tricia doesn't want 'outsiders' moving to their community. Now Sofía wonders what the other neighbors in her tight-knit suburban town really think of immigrant families like hers. Sofía doesn't want to make a scene, but if she doesn't speak up, how will she figure out if her family really belongs?
Ada sitzt wütend im Umzugswagen und wartet auf ihre Eltern, als plötzlich ein Schaf auf den Fahrersitz springt. Lilli, das Schaf mit Nasenring und Leopardenmuster, kapert den Transporter nebst Ada, um die Hühner aus der Hühnerfabrik zu befreien.
Free chicken!
Für Ada und das tollkühne Schaf beginnt eine wilde und verrückte Fahrt ins Abenteuer. Dabei ist das Glück stets auf ihrer Seite. Auch als Ada unterwegs auf den Jungen Pepper stößt, der in einer alten Sternwarte lebt.

Conmovedor y esperanzador a partes iguales, este libro es una radiografía de una cruda realidad de la que no queremos hablar.
Cuando están a punto de ser asesinadas, Penny y su mamá logran salvar sus vidas huyendo a Bogotá. Así, cuando las oportunidades de empezar una nueva vida se tambalean, nuestra pequeña heroína debe enfrentarse al temor de descubrir en los adultos que la rodean la insinuación del rechazo y la discriminación, mientras se despliega ante sus ojos un juego de luces y sombras que resalta la cara oculta de las etiquetas negativas que le atribuyen.
A efectos de que las declaraciones de los niños entrevistados por asuntos concernientes a delitos de grupos insurrectos, que motivaron la publicación de esta historia se mantengan confidenciales, Sobre Magia y Guerrilla ha sido adaptada al realismo mágico, redactada con sensibilidad, prestando especial atención a los rincones íntimos del dolor de los sobrevivientes al reclutamiento.
La pluma de la autora tuvo especial cuidado de reflejar la necesidad de considerar por un lado la determinación e imaginación de Penny, la protagonista y, por el otro, las peculiaridades de los tan contrapuestos prejuicios sociales que muestran como personajes cotidianos actuan con las víctimas del conflicto armado. Mas sin embargo la historia se acerca a la experiencia del amor y la magia por caminos de resistencia.
En el relato, con fantástica osadía, Penny logra activar sus poderes mágicos y lanzar conjuros que hechizan las voces de los adultos contra las que ella se revela. Esta es la historia de personas corrientes que experimentan la magia; personas corrientes con sus dinámicas, sus miedos y sus endebles creencias.

Hinter so mancher Legende steckt eine gefährliche Wahrheit. Doch nicht jede Wahrheit sollte auch ans Licht gelangen ...
Die achtzehnjährige Cora kommt nach dem plötzlichen Tod ihrer Mutter nach Rockenfeld, wo ihr Großvater lebt. In dem Dorf werden nach alter Handwerkskunst Schneekugeln hergestellt, eine Tradition, die Coras Urahn einst begründete. Der Legende nach soll ihm vom Teufel höchstpersönlich die erste Kugel geschenkt worden sein. Fasziniert von der Kunst, kleine Welten unter Glas zu schaffen, bittet Cora ihren Großvater darum, sie auszubilden. Doch schon nach kürzester Zeit geschehen die seltsamsten Dinge. Da ist zum einen der geheimnisumwitterte Niklas mit den stechend blauen Augen, zu dem sich Cora unwillkürlich hingezogen fühlt und dessen Besuche sie niemandem gegenüber erwähnen soll. Nachts beobachtet Cora Lichter im Wald und Schneeflocken fügen sich wie von Geisterhand vor ihren Augen zu warnenden Worten zusammen …
Das perfekte Hörbuch für die fantastisch-weihnachtliche Stimmung: zauberhafte Schneekugellandschaften, schrullige Figuren, ein geheimnisvoller Unbekannter und eine umwerfende Weihnachtsatmosphäre!
