Sebastian è un grande amico, ha un'astronave e con lui non ci si annoia mai. C'è solo un piccolo problema: non esiste. Già, perché sono stati Emma e Oleg a inventarlo per gioco, e quando un giorno si materializza in classe, i due amici non possono credere ai loro occhi. Sebastian non ha idea di cosa sia la pizza o di che significhi avere la pelle d'oca, in compenso è pieno di talenti e viaggia con una scorta inesauribile di gelato nella borsa. Da quando lui è comparso, a scuola succedono fatti strani, i pupazzi di neve parlano e minacciose figure mascherate da corvo li inseguono ovunque... Cosa vorranno? Un'avventura magica sul potere dell'immaginazione, dell'amicizia...e del gelato! Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Football hero. Ninja freestyler. It's seventh grade. Anything is possible.

All Dillon wants is to be a real dancer. And if he wins a summer scholarship at Dance-Splosion, he’s on his way. The problem? His dad wants him to play football. And Dillon’s freestyle crew, the Dizzee Freekz, says that dance studios are for sellouts. His friends want Dillon to kill it at the audition—so he can turn around and tell the studio just how wrong their rules and creativity-strangling ways are.

At first, Dillon’s willing to go along with his crew’s plan, even convincing one of the snobbiest girls at school to work with him on his technique. But as Dillon’s dancing improves, he wonders: what if studios aren’t the enemy? And what if he actually has a shot at winning the scholarship? 

Dillon’s life is about to get crazy . . . on and off the dance floor in this kid-friendly humorous debut by Brooks Benjamin.

Age is just a number…

Lolito is an unconventional love story about a fifteen-year-old boy who finds solace in the arms of a middle-aged woman on the Internet.

Fifteen-year-old Etgar Allison is spending spring break alone in an empty house, when he inadvertently learns that his girlfriend has cheated on him with another boy. Heartbroken and lonely, without parental supervision, he turns to alcohol. Unable to cope with his grief, he looks to the Internet for comfort and lands in an adult chatroom. There he meets Macy, a bored but attractive housewife; flirtatious IMs escalate into cybersex chats and soon Etgar is raiding his savings account for a romantic rendezvous in London. . . What could possibly go wrong?

Ben Brooks’s Lolito is an uncompromising look at the turbulent emotional life of teenage boys, a funny and poignant story that injects raw honesty—and even a little tenderness—into its portrait of a taboo relationship.

“Lolito is the funniest, most horrible book I've read in years. I was blown away.”
—Nick Cave

“I love Ben Brooks. And Lolito is really something else. A twisted age-gap love story that is deadpan and grubby and strangely poetic and funny and wrong and also very right.”
—Matt Haig, author of The Humans

“Brooks is a master of this art.”
—The Times

“Both warm and uncompromising, Lolito will be as entertaining for young adults as it is educational for older readers. And if some aspects of the world Brooks inhabits seem alarming, I can't think of a writer I would rather have as my guide.”
—The Guardian

“This is a totally convincing portrait of being a wayward teenager now, that only a teenager could have written.”
—Dazed & Confused

“Funny, witty and addictive, Lolito is a quirky and disturbing ball of energy that will consume readers until they have turned the last page. Brooks has created the most authentic teenage voice of the twenty-first century.”
—List

“Lolito manages to be hilarious, thought-provoking, disturbing and ridiculous all at once and again proves that young Brooks is one of the UK’s most promising young writers right now—a possible Irvine Welsh of his generation.”
—Worcester News

Etgar ha quindici anni e gli piacciono il tè col Nesquik e i film in cui non muore nessuno. Passa il tempo sotto il piumone con la sua ragazza Alice a navigare su Wikipedia e a guardare video virali su YouTube. Durante una festa scopre che Alice l'ha tradito con un tipo più muscoloso e più peloso di lui. Irrimediabilmente ferito, va in cerca di consolazione sul web. E presto si ritrova fra le braccia (virtuali) di Macy, quarantenne annoiata che frequenta le chat per adulti. Etgar tenta di fingersi più grande di quel che è, ma le cose tra i due approdano velocemente nel mondo reale. Mentre gli amici credono che sia rintanato nella sua cameretta a ubriacarsi di sidro e a guardare documentari sugli animali marini, lui parte per Londra, dove ha prenotato una stanza d'albergo per passare la notte con Macy... Ben Brooks ribalta lo schema letterario nabokoviano per raccontare una generazione - la sua - che vive in bilico tra dolore e desiderio di rivalsa, armata soltanto di social network e autoironia.

Around the time legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett tumbled into the Great Pit of Carkoon, the Rebel Alliance discovered a secure, blast-proof bounty hunter’s case holding Boba Fett’s personal items. For years it remained hidden away. But now all who wish may unlock the secrets held within . . . .Press the buttons, insert the data card, and the case opens with sounds and lights. Housed within is a text of great import. At some point in his career Boba Fett bound together the latest edition of the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook and a manifesto from Death Watch, the secretive splinter group of Mandalorians. Together, these volumes make up The Bounty Hunter Code.The handbook is an essential guide for all bounty hunters. Senior Guild members offer advice for hunters new to the Guild, a detailed list of the tools and techniques crucial to the “crimson trade,” and the basics of making a living on the margins of galactic law. Boba Fett has scrawled additions and commentary in the margins throughout, as have the bounty hunters Greedo, Bossk, and Dengar, all of whom were once in possession of the Handbook.The Death Watch volume — part informational guide, part manifesto — is full of Death Watch history, philosophy, and discussions of key Mandalorian gear: their famous T-visors, their celebrated armor, and their impressive jetpacks. This Death Watch booklet was originally taken from Death Watch leader Tor Vizsla and given to Boba by his father, Jango Fett, and features handwritten notes from father to son. Boba in turn intended to leave it to his daughter, and so he’s added his own annotations to aid in her education. The bounty hunter Aurra Sing and the pirate Hondo Ohnaka have added their commentary as well.Tucked beneath The Bounty Hunter Code is Cradossk’s memoir, Making a Killing, a brutal account of his rise to the top of the Bounty Hunters Guild.From the creators of Book of Sith and The Jedi Path, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, The Bounty Hunter Code reveals the secrets of the hunt and offers insight into this demanding, dangerous, and misunderstood profession.The case includes:. The Bounty Hunter Code. The 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, with an inscription from the author to Boba Fett. A Kamino saberdart. Boba Fett’s captain's license. Boba Fett's arms permit. Slave I’s official operating license. An Imperial wanted poster for Han Solo. An inventory slip from the Rebel Alliance forces who discovered and seized Boba’s property
