Two boys. Two secrets.

David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he’s gay. The school bully thinks he’s a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth – David wants to be a girl.

On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal – to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year eleven is definitely not part of that plan. When Leo stands up for David in a fight, an unlikely friendship forms. But things are about to get messy. Because at Eden Park School secrets have a funny habit of not staying secret for long…

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers. She's unappreciated by her crass, dishonest family and finds solace in the books she devours at an astonishing rate. At just five-and-a-half, she's tackling complex math problems and immersing herself in the works of Dickens.

Despite her intellect and abilities, Matilda's life is far from perfect. Her parents are dismissive and self-absorbed, and her school is run by the tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who has a penchant for throwing children as if they were javelins. But Matilda is not one to be underestimated or downtrodden.

With a combination of cunning, patience, and a touch of magic, Matilda begins to turn the tables on her parents and Miss Trunchbull. Rallying with her beloved teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda devises clever plans to outsmart the grown-ups who underestimate her. Through her journey, she demonstrates that even a child can change her own story, proving that brains and kindness can triumph over brawn and cruelty.

Roald Dahl's Matilda is a testament to the power of imagination, the importance of education, and the unyielding strength of the human spirit, especially in someone so young.

En 1962, La ciudad y los perros recibía el Premio Biblioteca Breve. Así comenzaba la andadura literaria de esta obra considerada una de las mejores novelas en español del siglo XX.

Los personajes de La ciudad y los perros, un grupo de jóvenes que se «educan» en una disciplina militar implacable y violenta, aprenden a sobrevivir en un ambiente en el que están muy arraigados los prejuicios raciales y las diferencias entre clases sociales y económicas; donde todos se muestran como no son en realidad y la transgresión de las normas establecidas parece ser la única salida.
