She wants to go to sleepovers, have a smart phone, and go to summer camp—just like her friends in middle school. Furious at her Umma for never packing her a “normal” American lunch, they get into yet another fight. Out of options and miserable, Yuna remembers a legend that her grandma, Halmoni, told her. If you fold 1,000 paper stars, you will be granted one wish. When she reaches 1,000 paper stars, Yuna wishes for her family to move back to Korea, where she can finally be normal. Seconds later: a knock at her door. It’s her sister with devastating news. Halmoni has died and they must go back to Korea to attend the funeral. Yuna knows this is all her fault.

Book Description
Amber and Justin... two peculiar kids, with a difficult past behind them and a clear goal in common: not to love. Love had hurt them at an early age and neither of them wanted to experience that pain again. Amber is an elusive, reserved girl, different from the others, beautiful and attractive in the eyes of the boys, but with a past that has left her with indelible scars. Justin is a charming boy with beautiful blue eyes, but with an arrogant, conceited and shameless character; full of resentment towards his parents, who were guilty of neglecting their children due to exaggerated entrepreneurial ambitions, and with a repressed thirst for revenge towards a group of people who had killed his brother in a settling of scores. The protagonists meet when Amber leaves London, the city she hates so much for the difficult childhood she had experienced, to move to New York where she attends one of the most prestigious universities. As time goes by, the two begin to get to know each other better, to trust each other, and to protect each other from the monsters of the present and the past. When love brings them even closer together, they stop denying it and give in to that strong feeling. But their lives have never been the same; in fact, an unexpected proposal will force Amber to make a radical change that Justin will not accept. Translator: Alessandra Cervetti PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

In a land-locked galaxy that tunnels through our own, the Entire gathers both human and alien beings under a sky of fire, called the bright. A land of wonders, the Entire is sustained by monumental storm walls and a never-ending river. Over all, the elegant and cruel Tarig rule supreme. Into this rich milieu is thrust Titus Quinn, former star pilot, bereft of his beloved wife and daughter who are assumed dead by everyone on earth except Quinn. Believing them trapped in a parallel universe—one where he himself may have been imprisoned—he returns to the Entire to free them. Thus begins a tale of high adventure and vast concept, replete with alien cultures, an exotic bureaucracy, and a man with nothing left to lose. He may not find what he seeks, but he’ll be offered a view of the multiverse, the power of princes, an unthinkable revenge—and unexpectedly, love.
