April té premonicions. May pot fer-se invisible. June llegeix els pensaments. Són tres germanes que han d'ajustar-se tant al seus poders acabats d'adquirir com a la vida de l'institut. Per si això no fos prou, April té una premonició: ve al seu xicot amb June en un accident de cotxe. Què fan ells dos junts? I, sobretot, pot fer-se alguna cosa per evitar-ho?

«Si de verdad queréis saber algo sobre mí, esto es lo primero que deberíais saber: me gusta la música alta. Hay que subirla hasta que no puedas hacer otra cosa que bailar o dar vueltas, o ponerte a gritar, porque sabes que sea lo que sea lo que te hace sentir esa música es perfecto». Nadie advirtió a Audrey de que su vida estaba a punto de cambiar. El mismo día en que rompió con su novio Evan, cantante de un pequeño grupo de rock, este compuso una canción sobre ella: Audrey, Wait! Una canción tan pegadiza que se convirtió en un fenómeno internacional de ventas, situó a la banda en el número uno de la lista de éxitos y lanzó a la fama a su musa. La vida de Audrey, entonces, cambió completamente. Nadie le habló de los paparazzi ni de los publicistas, ni del abogado que tuvieron que contratar sus padres. Nadie le advirtió de que todos conocerían su nombre.

Tres hermanas con tres poderes que les cambiarán la vida. Una historia mágica, romántica y muy divertida. Sólo hay una cosa más poderosa que la magia: el amor entre hermanas April tiene premoniciones. May puede hacerse invisible. June lee los pensamientos. Son tres hermanas que han de ajustarse tanto a sus recién adquiridos poderes como a su vida en el instituto. Por si eso fuera poco, April tiene una premonición: ve a su novio con June en un accidente de coche. ¿Qué hacen ellos dos juntos? Y, sobre todo, ¿puede hacerse algo para evitarlo?

Believe it or not, there are some drawbacks to being a 16-year old safecracker, daughter of spies, and member of an organization that fights corruption and wrongdoing around the world. For example: never getting to stay in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend, being the only spy ever to have a 10 p.m. curfew, and being sent on assignment to Russia. In the winter. For Maggie Silver, the compensation for the vast inconvenience of being a teenage spy has been avoiding high school and its accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple security on the lockers. (If its three digits or less, why even bother?) But when Maggie and her parents are sent to New York on a major assignment, all of that changes. Shell need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the schools security system, and befriend the aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the information she needs to crack the case, all while trying not to blow her cover. The first in a new series from Robin Benway, Also Known As, is the perfect read for fans of The Gallagher Girls.

Former safe-cracking spy, Maggie Silver, likes her new life as a regular high-school girl. Mostly. Okay, so theres the usual cliques, bad lunches and frustratingly simple locker combinations, but theres also her new boyfriend, Jessie, and insanely cool best friend, Roux. So when her parents are falsely accused of a crime, Maggie and her new team flee to Paris where she will have to use all her skills as a spy in order to clear their names. Too bad it only puts her and everyone she loves in danger.

But now Oliver is back, and hes not the skinny boy-next-door that used to be Emmys best friend. Now hes the boy who got kidnapped. A stranger - a totally hot stranger! - with a whole history that Emmy knows nothing about. But is their story still meant to be? Or are they like the pieces of two different puzzles - impossible to fit together?

Una emotiva novela sobre la identidad, ganadora del National Book AwardEsta no es una historia sobre la adopción aunque los tres protagonistas sean adoptados. Va de identidad, pertenencia y aceptación. Va de emociones que no permitimos que afloren. Va de sentirse diferente y de estar solo. Pero abrirse cuesta demasiado cuando te has esforzado por labrarte una coraza... Y no basta una terapia porque las emociones no admiten pautas. Quiza la pregunta sea, la del poeta Pablo Neruda, enEl libro de las preguntas: ¿Por que los arboles esconden EL ESPLENDOR DE SUS RAICES?Una montaña rusa emocional. Sonrisas y lagrimas desbocadas. Deberia incluir un aviso: abstenerse los espiritus sensibles y los que saben y sienten las relaciones entre hermanos.
