1000 tulosta hakusanalla Margo Bates
Mario Cuomo served as the 56th Governor of New York. Cuomo is noted for his liberal political views, particularly his unswerving opposition to the death penalty, and his support of a woman's right to choose, as well as his strong Catholic faith. These two political decisions may be considered contradictory. However, Cuomo did not feel this way. The question is why.
Il primo e un racconto lungo, una cinquantina di pagine. Poi ne seguono molti altri, spruzzati di magia. Marco e l'Eroe, nello stesso tempo. Due personalita molto diverse che finiscono con il fondersi, o forse no. Con un terzo personaggio molto inquietante, e l'aiuto amorevole di una ragazza. Altri racconti sono piuttosto particolari, alcuni ti danno uno schiaffo, altri ti accarezzano. E molti volano con il soffio della magia.

“Mango is as delightful as her middle name indicates, and middle-grade readers will easily recognize their own experiences in her friendship struggles.” —Booklist (starred review) What happens when your BFF becomes your EFF . . . EX-Friend-Forever? When seventh-grader Mango Delight Fuller accidentally breaks her BFF Brooklyn’s new cell phone, her life falls apart. She loses her friends and her spot on the track team, and even costs her father his job as a chef. But Brooklyn’s planned revenge—sneakily signing up Mango to audition for the school musical—backfires when Mango not only wins the lead role, but becomes a YouTube sensation and attracts the attention of the school’s queen bee, Hailey Jo. Hailey Jo is from a VERY wealthy family, and expects everyone to do her bidding. Soon Mango finds herself forced to make tough choices about the kind of friend she wants to have . . . and, just as important, the kind of friend she wants to be. *“Hyman marries traditional tween elements with a fresh and original plot, and his multicultural cast sparkles with individuality and authenticity. . . . Hyman’s supporting characters, both kids and adults, are vivid and dynamic. Mango is as delightful as her middle name indicates, and middle-grade readers will easily recognize their own experiences in her friendship struggles. This is Hyman’s first novel; here’s hoping it’s not his last.” —Booklist (Starred review)“[T]he characters . . . are deftly crafted, and their relationships play out in ways that carefully avoid cliché. . . . Mango’s supportive family is also well drawn, particularly her comforting Jamaican immigrant father and her no-nonsense, former athlete African-American mom, who’s a loving but demanding figure. Kids who’d settle for making it through middle school unscathed but still dream of shining in it will find a kindred spirit in Mango.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
