    Raccontami di un giorno perfetto
    • È una gelida mattina di gennaio quella in cui Theodore Finch decide di salire sulla torre campanaria della scuola per capire come ci si sente a guardare di sotto. L'ultima cosa che si aspetta però è di trovare qualcun altro lassù, in bilico sul cornicione a sei piani d'altezza. Men che meno Violet Markey, una delle ragazze più popolari del liceo. Eppure Finch e Violet si somigliano più di quanto possano immaginare. Sono due anime fragili: lui lotta da anni con la depressione, lei ha visto morire la sorella in un terribile incidente d'auto. È in quel preciso istante che i due ragazzi provano per la prima volta la vertigine che li legherà nei mesi successivi. I giorni, le settimane in cui un progetto scolastico li porterà alla scoperta dei luoghi più bizzarri e sconosciuti del loro Paese e l'amicizia si trasformerà in un amore travolgente, una drammatica corsa contro il tempo. E alla fine di questa corsa, a rimanere indelebile nella memoria sarà l'incanto di una storia d'amore tra due ragazzi che stanno per diventare adulti. Quel genere d'incanto che solo le giornate perfette sono capaci di regalare.

    • Affascinante. Divertente. Distaccato. Ecco le tre parole d'ordine di Jack Masselin, sedici anni e un segreto ben custodito. Jack non riesce a riconoscere il volto delle persone. Nemmeno quello dei suoi fratelli. Per questo si è dovuto impegnare molto per diventare Mister Popolarità. Si è esercitato per anni nell'impossibile arte di conoscere tutti senza conoscere davvero nessuno, di farsi amare senza amare a propria volta. Ma le cose prendono una piega inaspettata quando Jack vede per la prima volta Libby. Libby che non è come le altre ragazze. Libby che porta addosso tutto il peso dell'universo: un passato difficile e tanti, troppi chili per farsi accettare dai suoi compagni. Jack prende di mira Libby in un gioco crudele, un gioco che spedisce entrambi in presidenza. Libby però non è il tipo che si lascia umiliare, e il suo incontro con Jack diventa presto uno scontro. Al mondo non esistono due tipi più diversi di loro. Eppure... più Jack e Libby si conoscono, meno si sentono soli. Perché ci sono persone che hanno il potere di cambiare tutto. Anche una vita intera.

    • The Karluk set out in 1913 in search of an undiscovered continent, with the largest scientific staff ever sent into the Arctic. Soon after, winter had begun, they were blown off course by polar storms, the ship became imprisoned in ice, and the expedition was abandoned by its leader. Hundreds of miles from civilization, the castaways had no choice but to find solid ground as they struggled against starvation, snow blindness, disease, exposure--and each other. After almost twelve months battling the elements, twelve survivors were rescued, thanks to the heroic efforts of their captain, Bartlett, the Ice Master, who traveled by foot across the ice and through Siberia to find help. Drawing on the diaries of those who were rescued and those who perished, Jennifer Niven re-creates with astonishing accuracy the ill-fated journey and the crews desperate attempts to find a way home.
