Finalista del Premio Nacional del Libro Para Literatura Joven (National Book Award for Young People’s Literature) y nominada como una de las novelas más queridas de Estados Unidos por The Great American Read de PBS. Fantasma quiere ser uno de los corredores más veloces en su equipo élite de atletismo en su escuela, pero su pasado lo está retrasando en esta primera electrificante novela de la aclamada serie Track del autor Jason Reynolds, honorario de un Premio Newberry. Fantasma. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Cuatro jóvenes de familias completamente diferentes, con personalidades que se vuelven explosivas al chocar. Pero son también cuatro jóvenes de secundaria que fueron escogidos para un equipo de élite de atletismo… un equipo que los podría ayudar a clasificar para las Olimpiadas Juveniles. Todos tienen mucho que perder, pero también tienen mucho que demostrar, no solo a sus compañeros sino a sí mismos. Correr. Eso es todo lo que Fantasma (su verdadero nombre es Castle Cranshaw) jamás había conocido. Pero Fantasma ha estado corriendo por las razones equivocadas—todo empezó cuando huyó de su padre, quien cuando Fantasma era sólo un niño lo persiguió a él y a su madre a través de su apartamento, y luego en la calle, con un arma tirando a matar. Desde entonces Fantasma ha estado causando problemas—hasta que conoce al Entrenador, un ex-medallista olímpico quien logra ver algo en Fantasma: un loco talento natural. Si Fantasma logra mantenerse en el camino correcto, literal y figurativamente, él podría convertirse en el mejor corredor de la ciudad. ¿Podrá Fantasma aprovechar su talento por la velocidad, o será que su pasado por fin lo logrará alcanzar?

Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who sees something in Ghost: crazy natural talent.

Los Futbolísimos

El misterio de los árbitros dormidos

Los Futbolísimos se enfrentan al misterio más grande que han conocido hasta la fecha: ¿Es posible ganar un partido de fútbol sin meter ni un solo gol? ¿Y dos? ¿Y un torneo? En ocasiones, meterse un gol en propia puerta esconde mucho más de lo que parece a primera vista.

El misterio de los siete goles en propia puerta

Es el día de los inocentes. El día del cumpleaños de mi padre, y el peor día del año para mí. ¿Que por qué? Pues por varios motivos:Porque no me gustan las bromas. Porque tenemos que jugar un torneo con El Cerrillo, el equipo que juega más sucio de toda la Liga Intercentros, y nos van a machacar. Y porque me acabo de enterar de que el colegio tiene que vender el campo de fútbol para pagar sus deudas. Y si no podemos jugar al fútbol, ¿qué será de los Futbolísimos?

Nació en La Coruña. Cuando era niña derrochaba fantasía, era muy traviesa, siempre estaba inventando juegos, no entendía el mundo que la rodeaba. Apenas prestaba atención en clase en el colegio de monjas al que asistió, pues estaba demasiado entretenida en hacer volar su imaginación y crear sus propias historias. Leía y releía clásicos de la literatura como Celia, Mary Poppins, La isla del tesoro, Peter Pan, Cuentos rusos... Sus padres, preocupados por su falta de disciplina, la enviaron a un internado a Madrid. Allí, gracias al ballet y la gimnasia, entre otras cosas (fue campeona de España a los trece y catorce años), se centró por fin en los estudios y los suspensos se convirtieron en sobresalientes.

Once there, the family contends with 110 degree days, wild bears, and an annoying amateur ornithologist and his awful teenage vlogger son. Then, Theo’s dad hits him with a whopper of a surprise: the whole trip is just a trick to introduce his secret new girlfriend. Theo tries to squash down the pain in his chest. But when it becomes clear that this is an auditioning-to-be-his-stepmom girlfriend, Theo must find a way to face his grief and talk to his dad before his family is forever changed.
