En este impactante libro ilustrado bilingüe del exitoso autor Benjamin Alire Sáenz, un anciano le cuenta a su nieta los nueve sueños más hermosos de su vida. Seventy-eight year-old Octavio Rivera is a beautiful dreamer. And lately he has been visited by some very interesting dreams--dreams about piñatas that spill their treasures before him, revealing kissing turtles, winged pigs, hitchhiking armadillos, and many more fantastic things! He longs to tell someone about his dreams, but who else in his life would understand their full beauty?

Anhela contarle a alguien sobre sus sueños, pero ¿quién más en su vida entendería toda su belleza? Y luego recuerda a su joven nieta Regina, porque ella también aprecia las cosas bellas y fantásticas.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Zach is a senior but he's in rehab instead of high school. He doesn't remember how he got there. Remembering sucks and being alive -- well, what's up with that? I have it in my head that when we're born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people's hearts he writes happy and on some people's hearts he writes sad and on some people's hearts he writes crazy and on some people's hearts he writes genius and on some people's hearts he writes angry and on some people's hearts he writes winner and on some people's hearts he writes loser. It's all like a game to him. Him. God. And it's all pretty much random. He takes out his pen and starts writing on our blank hearts. When it came to my turn, he wrote sad. I don't like God very much. Apparently, he doesn't like me very much either. --Zach Benjamin Alire S enz' new novel is a gift of honesty and poetry and heart. Zach is a beautiful young man who desperately wants to forget the unforgettable. In order to deal with his addiction, he must first deal with his lost childhood. S enz has created one of the most unique and heartfelt friendships I've ever encountered in literature, and it's through this friendship that Zach ultimately discovers his voice. This novel sang to me from the opening page and never once hit a false note. -- Matt de la Pe a I cried with Zach all the way through this book: tears of rage and sorrow -- sometimes laughing though -- and finally, tears of hope and joy. Thanks to Ben S enz' pitch-perfect writing, Zach will stay in my heart for a long time. --Linda Sue Park.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Stonewall Book Award Honor - American Library Association (ALA) Sometimes the border is a mirror, sometimes it's an escape, and sometimes it's just the bridge you cross to go home. All borders entangle those who live on either side, resulting in many a tale. Take, for instance, these seven evocative stories coming out of the Kentucky Club on Avenida Juárez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It's a touchstone for all who walk by or go in for a drink or to score. The border on which it sits is really no border at all. Like all special watering holes, it is a liminal space, undefined and unclaimed. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor and rich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, and even despair. It's a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and a long, polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. "I'm going home to the other side," folks say. That's a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at the Kentucky Club.…

En este encantador libro ilustrado del galardonado autor Benjamín Alire Sáenz, Diego y Gabriela descubren que cuidar de un nuevo cachorro no es tan fácil como imaginaban.

Once again, Benjamin Alire Sáenz shows he understands the chemistry and dynamics of family, this time with a dog stirring up the recipe.
