![]() ![]() Author: Stroud Jonathan Publisher: Salani Da più di cinquant'anni, Londra è scossa da quello che i suoi abitanti chiamano genericamente 'Il Problema', ovvero un'epidemia di fantasmi che ha infestato tutta l'Inghilterra. Gli unici a poter vedere, sentire e combattere gli spiriti maligni sono i ragazzini, arruolati nelle numerose agenzie di acchiappafantasmi. Armati di spade d'argento, bombe di sale, limatura di ferro e Fuoco Greco, questi ghostbuster bambini devono affrontare le più terribili infestazioni. Ed è proprio alla ricerca di un lavoro che Lucy Carlyle, una giovane e talentuosa agente, si reca nella capitale, ma finisce per essere assunta dall'agenzia più piccola e sgangherata di tutte. Nonostante la guida dell'affascinante e carismatico Anthony, la Lockwood & Co. è sull'orlo del fallimento. Per salvarla c'è solo una possibilità, accettare un incarico molto speciale. Peccato che preveda di trascorrere la notte nella casa più infestata d'Inghilterra e nessuna garanzia di uscirne vivi... Età di lettura: da 10 anni. € 16,90

Sicuramente in lui batte il cuore di un eroe (coraggioso, risoluto, spericolato); sfortunatamente, però, è anche basso e tarchiato, con la faccia come quella di un rospo che fa capolino in una tempesta. Tuttavia, questo non basta certo a dissuaderlo dal provare a emulare i racconti dei grandi eroi del passato, con grande fastidio dei suoi genitori, dei suoi fratelli e sorelle e di tutti gli abitanti del suo piccolo villaggio scandinavo. In cima alla collina ci sono le pietre tombali dei suoi antenati: poco oltre la leggenda dice vivano sinistre creature chiamate Trow, che si nascondono sotto terra. Halli vorrebbe scoprire se è vero, ma la sua gente è tranquilla e pacifica, i giorni delle lotte sono passati e le spade sono state tutte fuse? € 16,50

Now fourteen, Nathaniel is ambitiously climbing the ranks of the magicians' government. The Prime Minister himself has placed Nathaniel in charge of capturing the Resistance, a group of unruly commoners working to undermine the magicians' empire. But after several failed attempts, Nathaniel is forced to admit he can't do it alone. With his career on the line, he reluctantly summons his only hope for success–the 5,000-year-old . The duo is reunited just in time: the Resistance is growing more audacious than ever. And to make matters worse, a seemingly invulnerable clay golem is wreaking destruction throughout London, sending the entire city into pandemonium. With time running out, the young magician and his uncontrollable djinni must find the source of the golem's power, a task they quickly learn will involve much more than they ever anticipated. In the ensuing chaos, Nathaniel and Bartimaeus will be chased through the streets of Prague, hunt a dancing skeleton across London's skyline, encounter the horror of the dreaded Night Police, and meet a surprising new ally. Together, these three will have to go heah-to-head with the fearsome golem before the mysterious identity of its master is finally revealed. € 47,30
