        OLD TALES FOR GIRLS TODAY

        by JAVIER LEON

        What we now know as classic tales are oral stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not known exactly when they appeared, what we do know is that in 1600 Charles Perrault gave them a literary form, tempering, in many cases, the harshness of the oral versions to adapt them to the times. 200 years later, Hans Christian Andersen and the Grimm brothers (among others), would do the same by creating new stories and transforming those of Perrault to their time. Now, 200 years later, they are revised and updated again. This time, without princes or princesses, without stepmothers or witches. This time, they are the heroines and they don't need anyone to save them.

        Never

        by Gloria Castanares Marti

        “Never” is a book that brings us closer to the reality of bullying, narrated in the first person by the protagonist. As a teenager Alvaro accumulated a great deal of problems. When he moved to a new city, his father was ill and in the new high school he was the target of all sort of aggressions of a group of students. Alvaro discovered Pablo another student suffering bullying too. Helping Pablo might be the way to solve his own problems. The book shows us the effects of bullying in the state of mind, in food, in physical deterioration. How Alvaro talks to himself, his lack of self-love. He becomes desensitized to the violence he suffers. How much damage does he need to react and call for help? It is a dynamic story that addresses other dimensions of the lives of the protagonists, delving into their personal desires and family life. Fear, anguish and pain, but also hope... a crack that allows us to glimpse that another reality is possible.

        Páginas del diario de Simón

        by Vicente García Oliva / Inés Sánchez Nadal

        Simón por fin tiene un diario, pero uno de verdad, de esos con tapas duras y un candado que amarra secretos como si fueran de oro. Así, Simón vedará sus experiencias a su hermano Julián, algo cotilla. Julián no podrá leer la historia de amistad entre Simón y Héctor, un niño con autismo recién llegado a clase. Tampoco cómo lo recibe Simón: sin prejuicios, con naturalidad. Ni que Héctor no siempre logra hacerse entender, y menos con otros alumnos. El fisgón de Julián también se quedará sin saber que Simón defiende a su compañero de pupitre siempre que sea necesario. Estas páginas son una aproximación al autismo desde el cariño y el desenfado.
