El incomprendido Norman Babcock cuenta a sus once años con un don especial, ¡y es que puede ver y hablar con los muertos! Nadie le cree, ni siquiera sus padres, pero él tiene una misión que cumplir: debe salvar a los habitantes de Blithe Hollow. Sobre este pintoresco pueblo de Nueva Inglaterra, donde no faltan las leyendas sobre brujeria, pesa una maldicion que se remonta a los primeros colonizadores. Norman tendra que enfrentarse no solo a zombis, fantasmas y a la ira de la hechicera que quiere sembrar el terror, sino tambien a todo un elenco de personajes estrafalarios, curiosos y simpaticos.

Hay héroes de de todo tipo..., de todas las formas y tamaños, incluso rectangulares. Bajo las pintorescas calles adoquinadas de Cheesebridge, viven los Boxtrolls. Dice la leyenda que son criaturas ma

Cuando se escribe una carta a Papá Noel hay que tener mucho cuidado. A veces, el regalo que deseamos puede ser fantástico, pero no el más adecuado.

Be on the brink of Lily B''s world with her third and fantastically funny diary! Lily Blennerhasset is very excited. She is on a school trip with her classmates to Paris (nay, Pareee) a city of sophistication and culture. Here is real material for a future famous novelist such as herself. Lily is convinced that, years hence, readers will peruse her diary entries and Paris will literally spring to life before them. The pages themselves will smell lightly of dijon mustard and baguettes. But when Lily gets separated from the group'' (breaking her mother''s biggest commandment) she embarks on adventure involving tourist traps, accidental consumption of cow tongue and a whole different take on Pareee.

A la hora se escribir una carta a Papá Noel, es conveniente poner mucho, pero que mucho cuidado no vaya a ser que luego haya mal entendidos. Y aun siendo muy claros podría ocurrir que el regalo que pedimos sea el mejor pero no el mas adecuado. Menos mal que Papa Noel siempre tiene soluciones

Lily''s Likes: Recording daily events in her notebook, alphabetizing books on her shelves, writing top-ten lists. Lily''s Dislikes: Family outings, people who make their own beds in hotels (like her mother), and most of the items in her closet. Favorite Meal: Tacos and root beer. Favorite Daydream: Winning the Congressional Medal of Honor by saving the President from attack dogs using only a raincoat and a hanger. Lily is having the most boring summer EVER. Her best friend has abandoned her for Young Executives Camp, and there is nothing to do but go on family outings with her parents. Then Lily meets the coolest girl, Karma, and her incredibly cool parents. And guess what? They''re her relatives! This summer is looking up, and Lily things she just might be on the brink of cool.
