Un Dragón a Dieta

Carles Cano, Illustraded by Fran Bravo
Editorial Everest, S.A., 30 pg., Picture Book

Dragon is so big, one day, finally he decides to go on a diet. He set out fine linen, fine china, and of course his best silver set. All the fan fare to eat just one olive, and of course, he eats it whole, with pit and all. A few minutes latter he has the worst tummy ache he has ever had. He calls the doctor who comes as soon as possible and a whole set of events happen. This is the cutest and funny book I read in a while. The whole family will enjoy it!

Este dragón es tan grande que  un día decide ponerse a dieta. Cubre la mesa con mantel de lino fino, pone su loza fina, y por supuesto sus cubiertos de plata. Toda la fanfarronada para comer solo una aceituna, y por supuesto se la come de un bocado, con pepa y todo. En unos minutos, se retuerce del peor dolor de estomago que ha  tenido en su vida. Llama al doctor, el cual viene tan pronto como puede y comienza a pasar una serie de increíble acontecimientos. Este es uno de los mas curiosos y chistosos libros que he leído en buen tiempo . ¡¡Le gustará a toda la familia!!

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger! The Factory is a page-turning sci-fi with multidimensional characters, an intriguing plot, and refreshingly straight-forward writing. Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
