        Lie

        by Care Santos

        Xenia is a normal teenager with usual problems and a secret: she's in love with someone whom she has never seen. She has exchanged emails with someone called Marcel because they have read the same book, The Catcher in the Rye. Its author was enigmatic, reserved: despite being able to communicate so many things to millions of readers, he lived alone. And, Marcel? Why does he avoid her? Why doesn’t he want to see her? Maybe his name is not even Marcel. Maybe his life might be a little more complicated than Xenia’s life. Maybe a longer explanation is necessary, considering that what is essential in life, is invisible to human eyes. Maybe it is necessary they find out something authentic in the middle of everything to cross the abyss that separates them.    Care Santos’ saga Mentira (Lie), Verdad (Truth) & Miedo (Fear) has sold over 250.000 copies only in Spain.    A spin-off has also been released this year: BEN (introducing the personal life of one of the most dramatic characters of the saga: Ben, Marcel's cousin and tutor).

        El síndrome de Bergerac

        by Pablo Gutiérrez

        I was an average girl like any other. I was going to class, I argued with my parents, I loved my friends unconditionally and, from time to time, I would fall in love with someone I shouldn't have, as happens to everyone else. There was nothing novelistic about me, nothing heroic that deserved a handful of pages, and that is why this story will not be about my parents or my colleagues or my lovers; it will not be about the routine of a high school student who is bored at school... This story will have only one main character and that character will be a nose. A famous, disproportionate nose. The nose of a hero born in Bergerac and named Cyrano.
