8,506 | 0 | MIKA ASHLEY-HOLLINGER grew up in the Florida swamps in the tiny community of Micco and now lives in Hawaii where she runs an exotic plants landscaping business. This is her first novel.The StormThe sweltering month of July was gradually melting into August. Baby alligators were busy pecking their way out of their eggs when the biggest storm of the summer of 1949 blew into our lives. I was standing in the middle of our living room floor, cool brown water swirling over my feet and reaching nearly to the tops of my skinny ten-year-old ankles. The morning sun was just peeking in through our picture window, painting shiny rainbows across the water's dull surface.My daddy, Nolay, paced slowly from one end of the room to the other. He was just as barefooted as me because there was no reason to be wearing shoes inside your house when it was full of water. Each small step sent ripples of coffee-colored water circling around the legs of what pieces of furniture we hadn't stacked on top of each other. Nolay solemnly raised his arms in the air and declared, "We live in the womb of the world! It's the womb of the world. Any fool can see it's God's womb of the world!"Like a contented cat, Mama was curled up on the couch. I don't think she was really that contented, she just didn't have any choice but to sit there. Her slender arms wrapped around her legs and hugged them close to her body. Her head rested on her knees; only her eyes moved back and forth as she watched my daddy's every move.Out of the corner of my eye I saw something dark and shiny slither along the side of the wall right behind the couch. I kept my mouth shut, because if there was one thing Mama didn't like, especially inside her house, it was snakes.I was not quite sure what a womb was, but if Nolay said we lived in one, then it must be true. My daddy was about the smartest man I ever did know. I hadn't met very many men, but of the ones I had, he was about the smartest. He was a true man of vision.He'd had the vision to nestle our house between a glorious Florida swamp and a long stretch of sandy scrub palmetto laced with majestic old pines. Although Mama often pointed out that his vision blurred when it came to the exact location. "If you had put this house a hundred yards closer to the county road we would have electricity. We would have a icebox and a sewing machine," Mama would say.Nolay would shake his shaggy black curls and reply, "Lori, Honey Girl, you know I don't want to be any closer to that dang county road!"Honey Girl was my daddy's nickname for Mama because her blond hair dripped down her back and around her shoulders like golden honey."If I could, I would have put us on a float right out in the middle of the swamp. But don't you fret, one day I'll buy my own durn electric poles and stick 'em in the ground myself."But Mama couldn't deny that Nolay had had the vision to build our house on a strip of land at least a foot above water level. It only flooded when the heavy summer rains came. It really wasn't that bad; sometimes the water just seeped in and covered our floor with a fine, shiny mist.Our house also had a flat tar-paper roof because, as Nolay had explained, "No matter how big a storm comes through, this roof will stay put. You go puttin' one of those pointed roofs on and sure as shootin' the first hurricane will take it off. Same thing goes for puttin' your house up on stilts." Yes, sir, Nolay was a true man of vision.At any rate, all the excitement had started the day before. Me and Mama had just returned from a Saturday trip to town and were inside the house putting away groceries when Nolay called us."Honey Girl, Bones, y'all come on out here and take a look at this." He was standing in the yard looking east. That was where the Atlantic Ocean lived, and most of our storms came from that direction.What I saw filled up the horizon. It looked like a massive black jellyfish. The cloud floated just above the ground and moved with fierce intent, heading directly toward us. The three of us stood like fence posts until Nolay said, "That's a mighty big storm coming our way. Y'all get the animals inside the house."Me and Mama sprang to life, called the dogs, and looked for the cats. Half an hour later I made a final count: three dogs, five cats, one raccoon, one pig, and one goat, everyone accounted for. As I ran out the door I yelled over my shoulder, "Mama, I'm goin' out to help Nolay."Nolay had just closed the door to the chicken coop. Old Ikibob Rooster sensed something was up and already had his brood cornered in one end of the coop. By the time we headed for the house, that jellyfish cloud was nearly on top of us. It hungrily gobbled up the silver-blue day and turned it into gloomy darkness.As it hovered above us, it looked as if God reached his long pointy-finger down from heaven and ripped a huge gash in the stomach of that jellyfish. Gray sheets of water fell furiously to the ground. Cannonballs of thunder crashed and rolled angrily over the swamps. Like gigantic knives, silver streaks of lightning sliced through the darkness and stabbed the earth.Me and all the animals were wide-eyed and looking for something to crawl under. Except for the flashes of lightning and the soft flicker of our kerosene lamps, our house was as black as the inside of a cow. I had never been inside a cow, but I imagined this was how totally dark it would be.Our summer storms usually dumped a ton of water in the swamps. Water was precious to swamps; they needed it to stay alive. Sometimes a thin layer of water would run through our house, but this storm was big, and it was angry. The swamp quickly filled and began to leak out over its shallow edges. The little sliver of land our house sat on was soaked up like a dirty dishrag. Swamp water, along with some of its inhabitants, seeped under doorways and through cracks and crannies. Water came from every direction; it slid down the sides of our walls and dripped from the ceiling in endless streams.Nolay began to bark out instructions. "Stack up them chairs, put a quilt on the table and get the cats up there, put the dogs in our bed, get the pig and goat into the washtub! Bones, do something with that dang crazy raccoon!"When the three of us sat huddled together on the couch, Nolay murmured, "Don't worry about nothing, it's just a little water. It's just a storm, a big storm, but it's not a hurricane. The roof will stay on."It was too wet and too dark for us to make it to a bedroom, so we decided it was best to just stay put right there on the couch. Nestled between the two of them, I fell asleep with the assurance that Nolay knew about hurricanes. The one in 1935 had blown his family home clear down to the ground. That house sat not ten feet away from the very spot we were at right now. About the only thing left was a pile of bricks where the chimney had stood, the artesian well that we still got our water from, and a mammoth mango tree.On occasion, when things would get out of hand, like they were right now, Mama would look over to Nolay and say, "Why did you build our house next to one that blew down in a storm? You could have put us on higher ground."But my daddy, with his vision and truthfulness, would reply, "Because this is where my home is and always will be. Don't worry, Honey Girl, I guarantee this house ain't gonna blow down."Nolay's real name was Seminole, but no one ever called him that. His daddy, who was Miccosukee Indian, named him in honor of their kindred tribe. Nolay lived up to the true meaning of his name, which was "runaway; wild one."All night long that storm pounded us with huge fists of water. At the break of dawn, as we waded through our living room, the first words out of Nolay's mouth were "Well, am I right or am I right? I said the dang roof would stay on, and it did!"Nolay was right about the roof staying on, and it wouldn't be a concern any longer. Our real troubles would be coming all too soon.Saving the DayMama refused to get off the couch, even after Nolay offered her a piggyback ride. She hugged her legs close to her body and kept her chin on her knees. She was not about to stick her feet in that dirty brown water. Just as Mama turned her head sideways, a little black snake wriggled along the side of the wall. She pointed and said, "My goodness, what is that? Is that a snake inside our house?"I quickly waded over to it. "It's only a baby. It's scared and it's just trying to find its way back outside."Mama groaned. "And I want it to go back outside." She looked at Nolay. "What else has the womb of the world dumped inside our house?""Lori, that's just a little ol' baby, it squeezed in through a crack. Don't worry; they ain't nothing in here but some harmless water."I crept behind the couch and gingerly picked the snake up by its slippery little tail. I turned to Mama and said, "Look, Mama, it ain't much bigger than a fat old fishin' worm. It's probably one of Old Blackie's babies. I'll just take it outside where it belongs." Blackie was our resident blacksnake. She lived in the giant mango tree in our backyard.Armed with Crisco cans and mason jars, I was ready to go outside and catch the bounty of tadpoles, minnows, and whatever else the swamp had spilled out on our driveway. Or what we called our driveway; it was actually a two-rut dirt road with ditches cut in on both sides. After every big summer rain I took it on myself to go out and catch as many living things as I could and dump them into the pond in our front yard. Of course, a fair amount of the creatures I would be picking up that day came from the pond in our front yard, but I felt it was my duty to save as many as I could.With a great display of authority I dropped the pathetic little snake in my Crisco can and made my way to the front door. I whistled, and our three dogs, Nippy the raccoon, and Pearl the pig almost knocked me down as they clambered toward the door. Harry the goat had made himself quite comfortable in the washtub, his head hung over the rim and his big glassy eyes looking forlornly in my direction.I strapped my trusty Roy Rogers cap pistols around my waist and opened the front door. I was getting too old to still be playing with cap pistols, but they just felt like a couple of friends hanging out with me. Nolay called out, "Bones, you watch out for snakes. Take a hoe or machete with you. They bound to be lookin' for dry land. And keep your eye on those dang dogs; the fools will stick their nose right on top of a snake.""Yes, sir, Nolay, I'll look out for 'em."Outside, the road was spotted with mud puddles full of minnows and tadpoles. Barefooted, I waded very gingerly through the brown water, just in case there was a snake laying around. The thirsty Florida sun had already begun to suck up huge amounts of precious water. As the puddles dried, the helpless little creatures were left to die a slow death in the heat.I found the perfect spot and started building sand dams to reroute the water and trap the critters. Nippy ran happily from puddle to puddle and snatched up minnows and tadpoles. She would squat down on her haunches and with her little humanlike hands devour the critters like pieces of candy. I knew I couldn't interfere. Nolay had told me, "That's the way God set up nature; one day you're sittin' at the dinner table and the next day you might be on it."Pearl dug a mudhole by some twisted palmetto roots and the dogs romped through the tangled scrub pines. I had nearly filled a whole Crisco can with squirmy things ready to be set loose in our big front pond, when I heard a gunshot ring out from the direction of our house.I turned and ran as fast as I could back to the house. The dogs followed in hot pursuit. One of the dogs, Paddlefoot, smashed through my dams and sent cans and jars full of saved creatures wriggling out over the dry sand.Breathlessly, I opened the door and stepped inside our living room. Mama stood on top of the couch, her little pearl-handled .32 revolver in her hand. Nolay was in front of her, a dead cottonmouth moccasin laying on the floor between them. He picked it up and held it by its tail. Part of the snake's body still curled on the floor; a trickle of blood flowed from its head and swirled out into the glossy brown water.Nolay looked the body up and down and calmly said, "Well, I got to admit, that is a mighty big snake. Bigger than me, gotta be over six feet."Mama stood still as a stone on the couch, the pistol pointed in the direction of the snake and Nolay.Nolay said, "Honey Girl, you are one dead-eyed shot. Look at this, right through the head." He cleared his throat. "You might want to put that gun down. This snake cain't get no more deader than it is right now."Mama moved her eyes from the snake to the gun; a look of puzzlement crossed her face. She slowly sat back down on the couch and placed the gun by her side.Nolay glanced at me, then back to Mama. "I tell you what, Honey Girl, I'll go bring ol' Ikibob inside the house. I guarantee if there's any snakes left in here, he'll hunt 'em down. If there's one thing that ol' rooster don't like, it's a snake." He turned and walked out of the house, dragging the dead snake behind him. "Bones, you stay here with your mama."I looked at Mama curled up on the couch. "Mama, if it's all right, I gotta get back outside. Paddlefoot knocked over all my cans and everything is out there drying up to death."; Title: Precious Bones | [

The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 360 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 300 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.

8,520 | 2 | Gr 2-4-Icky Ricky is a wild little boy, although he has a good heart in that he looks out for a bully's little sister. The author has created ridiculous scenarios; it is okay if Ricky wastes food or puts ketchup and peanut butter on the ceiling. This early chapter book has a lot of destruction and not much substance. It probably won't appeal even to the crowd attracted to slime and dirt as Rex's goal seems to have been merely to fit in as many gross references as possible. Each page has a black-and-white cartoon illustration. Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories from Wayside School (HarperCollins, 1998) is a better option.-Elizabeth Swistock, Orange County Public Library, VA(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.Icky Ricky proves to be a satisfying new hero for readers who are ready for a more expansive view of the world than that offered by Dav Pilkeys Captain Underpants series. The six chapters in this series debut show us a kid who uses his imagination and intelligence, as well as his voluminous energy, to write his homework on cheese slices, adhere his sleeping bag to the ceiling with a combination of peanut butter and ketchup, and help little neighbor Samantha escape her bullying big brothers wrath over a lost radio-controlled car. Interspersed among the chapters are creative, helpful hints from Ricky about how to tidy your room, as well as his 101 recipes utilizing canned cheese. Illustrated with action-filled cartoon illustrations, the text also includes wry twists on ecofriendly advice. Readers will easily conclude that Ricky is awesome!

8,521 | 0 | Gr 5-8Lara Ivanova Bogdanova loves the borzoi, the dogs her father breeds on the Count's estate in imperial Russia. Training and caring for the animals alongside her father, she dreams of following him as kennel steward. Then her baby brother is born, and she is devastated when her father determines that she will marry instead. But visions regarding the dogs still come to her despite her father's demand that she stop them. She knows that Zar, the runt she saved from death despite her father's disapproval, has an important part to play in hunting the wolves that plague the estate if only her father would give him a chance. The story develops beautifully from Lara's saving Zar and moves swiftly through the conflicts between Lara and her father as well as the confrontations between Zar and the wolves. Lara bravely steps forward to fight for her dreams in an era in which women were seen as fit only to be wives and mothers, seamstresses and midwives. Birth and fight scenes are handled realistically and factually. The imagery creates a vivid sense of time and place. Compelling historical fiction, this is also a powerful story about the bond between dogs and humans, fathers and daughters. The author's note explains how the story came to be written and which minor aspects of the time and place were adapted to fit it.Heidi Grange, Summit Elementary School, Smithfield, UT(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.Lara revels in her gift for handling the elegant borzoi hunting dogs bred and trained for Russian nobility. A peasant girl like me may never get an opportunity to lay her eyes on a borzoi and I had dozens around me, she muses. Lara hopes to follow her father as kennel master, a decidedly nontraditional female role, until her baby brother is born, dashing Laras hopes and setting the stage for the battle to realize her dream. OBrien has penned a lively tale of beloved dogs and graphic wolf-hunting escapades in a unique historical setting. Laras supernatural visions of dog-related calamities frighten her, but she summons enough courage to challenge her fathers decisions on hunts; test the champion hunting ability of her little wonder dog, whom she rescued from being culled at birth; and prove her worth on the grand Russian estate. Dog lovers especially will pick up this trail right away and eagerly track the appealing heroines adventures. Grades 5-8. --Anne OMalley; Title: Lara's Gift | [

8,526 | 2 | PreS-A diaper being thrown into the trash kicks off this upbeat celebration of panties. A pigtailed protagonist skips across the pages. She proclaims the myriad choices that come with being a big girl, from the pictured days of the week set to a pair of frilly pink "Princess panties that sparkle and shine." The bright illustrations, set against a slate blue background, convey the youngster's excitement with a flurry of movement and many proud smiles. She takes a break from dancing and play to inform a baby sibling and a stuffed crocodile that they cannot wear panties, though mommies and grandmas can. At the close of the book the child addresses the listener, who presumably is also in on the fun and thus "a big girl, too!" This will make fine reading for newly minted big girls.-Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

8,534 | 2 | GR 13Libby and her Great Aunt Lobo are learning the Pledge of Allegiance at the same timebut for different reasons. Lobo is practicing it in order to become a citizen of the united states. She is proud of her Mexican heritage but is also grateful to be in America. In school, Libby has been chosen to lead her class in saying the pledge. Lobo and Libby decide to practice together at home and talk about what it means to both of them. The pencil and digitally painted illustrations have a watercolor softness that shows the deep warmth and closeness between niece and aunt. The characters are endearing, rendered primarily in shades of blue. The story will help young children become more thoughtful about this common daily recitation. Sprinkled with Spanish words, this gentle book explores what it means to be an American from the perspective of both a child and new citizen.Diane McCabe, John Muir Elementary, Santa Monica, CAOn Friday, Mom and I will go with . . . great-aunt Lobo to a special place . . . where she will say the Pledge of Allegiance and . . . become a citizen of the United States, exclaims Libby, the young narrator of this family story. Libby vows to practice saying the pledge with Lobo in the week leading up to the ceremony, providing an easy opportunity for the authors to integrate both lines of the pledge and discussions of its meaning into the text. Likewise, the inclusion of Spanish text not only introduces readers to potentially new vocabulary words but it also helps them understand the importance of Lobos Mexican heritage as well as her American citizenship. Bartons warm, mixed-media illustrations echo the warmth in Lobos words: This country is like one big family . . . that works together to take care of the people who need help. An authors note adds more personal connections as well as a few lines of historical background about the pledge. Preschool-Grade 2. --Annie Miller; Title: I Pledge Allegiance | [

Well, there was this time, for example . . .Chapter #1THE EGYPTIAN PIZZA FUNERALPart #1FeaturingTHE ONE-EYED SQUIRREL,THE EXPLODING JUICE BOX,and THE FEARSOME MAN-DOG!     We grabbed the pizza and ran out of the house. It was a bit dark and cloudy, but it wasn't raining. We started running down the street, but Gus said he didn't like passing the house with the freaky man-dog. It's a dog that lost some fur around his eyes, so around his eyes it's kind of skin-colored, and it looks like a man wearing a dog mask. So we turned around and went the other way. But Stew said he doesn't like going that way because of the one-eyed squirrel. There really is a one eyed squirrel that lives in a tree or something, and it's the meanest squirrel ever. Once I saw it snatch a cookie right out of a kid's hand!   We ended up taking a small path that leads between the houses. We followed the little stream back there, and finally came out on the next block. We had about six blocks to go when we saw some lightning, and then boom! There was this huge thunder explosion! Then it started raining like crazy. I held the pizza box over my head so I could stay dry. We ran to find someplace to get out of the rain.   Then Gus screamed "One-eyed squirrel!" and he pointed to something in the trees.   And I was like, "He wants the pizza!"   Stew said, "Run!"; Title: Icky Ricky #2: The End of the World | [

8,547 | 0 | This latest title from the Step into Reading series provides emerging readers with a brief introduction to poultry culture. A family drives to a farm and purchases chicks, which they raise in a brooder. As the chicks grow, they graduate to an outside coop. Eventually some of them lay eggs in nest boxes, providing new chicks for the brooder. Goodells realistic artwork depicts cooperative parents and children working together on this venture. The illustrations carefully anticipate the succinct prose (one page depicts Dad giving the farmer a check, while the text reads, We buy chicks), making this ideal as a predictable text. Horning does not discuss chick anatomy or physiology, and no mention is made of selling or eating eggs or chickens; she also eschews naming both chicks and humans, almost giving this the feel of nonfiction. Readers wishing to learn more about this topic may appreciate Amy E. Sklanskys Where Do Chicks Come From? (2005). Preschool-Grade 1. --Weisman, Kay"This entry, at the Step 1 level in the long-running Step into Reading series, reflects the current demand for engaging informational reading at all levels. It more than meets that need, standing out for its clear description of the process and its subtle multicultural appeal. Whether these fowl are feathered friends or future food, they are nourishing."

8,555 | 11 | K-Gr 3-Doing farm chores on the morning of Passover, Miriam discovers that one of the sheep has had three babies. Snowball rejects the runt, and the child takes responsibility for bottle-feeding it every few hours. How can she take care of a lamb, though, and still attend the Seder at Grandma's? By putting him in a basket, naming him Moses, and taking him along, of course. This unusual Passover story is based on Marshall's own family history, as explained in an author's note. Basic information about Passover is included within the story and in the note. The emphasis is on the lamb's plight rather than on the holiday, and readers will be charmed by the gentle depiction of farm life, the baby animal, and the child's resourcefulness. Those who bring Passover knowledge to their reading will be amused that the siblings' names are Miriam and Aaron (the names of Moses's siblings in the Bible). Cheerful watercolors add to the story's sweetness.-Heidi Estrin, Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.As Miriam completes her farm chores, she practices chanting the Four Questions in preparation for the Passover seder to be held later that night at her grandparents house. She notices that one of the familys sheep, Snowball, has given birth to three lambs but is refusing to feed one of them. Miriam immediately steps in, feeding the lamb, cuddling it, naming it Moses, and eventually taking it along to the seder, nestled in a basket and dressed in a diaper. Marshalls story is based on a real event that took place on her own farm; Mai-Wyss colorful illustrations depict a bucolic setting filled with genial animals and a rustic barn. Although there are few specifics about the holiday or its traditions, Marshalls depiction of a close family gathering to celebrate, despite their many other obligations, is intrinsically appealing, and the details of sheep farming will intrigue young listeners. While Passover books for this age group are plentiful, libraries will want to make room for this poignant offering. Grades K-3. --Kay Weisman; Title: The Passover Lamb | [

8,583 | 7 | *Starred Review* The probability of his temperamental dad finding out that Jim has borrowed several high-tech security cameras for a science fair project turns out to be the least of his worries in this offbeat thriller. Set up in a seedy North Minneapolis junkyard near the river in hopes of observing otters, the cameras immediately disappear after a flash of weird footage. Should Jim and his seventh-grade friends believe the claim of Ted, a decrepit local? He says the yard, the site of an experimental robot lab that was destroyed years ago in a huge explosion, is haunted. Told in a spare, matter-of-fact narrative, this packs the space between the lines with humor, drama, romantic tension, and deftly delivered insight into the characters of a diverse, well-developed cast. The tale pitches Jim and his classmates (with significant help from his smarter little sister, Penny) into designing, constructing, and testing homemade battle robots both as plan B for the science fair and as a later entry in a competition at a nearby mall. The latter hard-fought contest presages a similar but much larger scale climactic bashfest in the wake of revelations that the junkyard is indeed inhabitedby feral, self-programming robots capable of violence and murder. Scaletta amps up the voltage with suspense and excitement, but he also seamlessly integrates family issues and peer dynamics and cybernetic feats that seem only slightly futuristic. Grades 6-9. --John PetersStarred Review, Booklist, December 1, 2013: Told in a spare, matter-of-fact narrative, this packs the space between the lines with humor, drama, romantic tension, and deftly delivered insight into the characters of a diverse, well developed cast.Kirkus Reviews, September 1, 2013:"A deft mix of middle school drama and edgy techno thrills."; Title: The Winter of the Robots | [

8,586 | 2 | Rick Riordan es el autor de la serie de libros para nios Percy Jackson, bestseller nmero uno de The New York Times, as como la galardonada serie de misterio Tres Navarre para adultos. Durante quince aos, Riordan ense ingls e historia en escuelas secundarias en San Francisco y Texas. Actualmente vive en San Antonio con su esposa y sus hijos.1. La combustin espontnea es divertida Aqu Carter. Escuchad, no tenemos mucho tiempo para hacer introducciones largas.Tengo que contar esta historia deprisa o moriremos todos. Si no habis odo nuestra primera grabacin... bueno, esto es lo que hay: los dioses egipcios andan sueltos por el mundo moderno, un puado de magos que se hacen llamar la Casa de laVida intentan detenerlos, todo el mundo nos odia a Sadie y a m, y una gran serpiente est a punto de tragarse el Sol y destruir el mundo. [Ay! Se puede saber a qu viene eso?] Sadie acaba de darme un puetazo. Dice que voy a asustaros demasiado. Que debera parar, tranquilizarme y empezar por el principio. Muy bien. Pero, si me preguntis a m, creo que hay motivos de sobra para estar asustados. El propsito de esta grabacin es que sepis lo que est sucediendo de verdad y cmo se torcieron las cosas. Oiris a mucha gente ponernos a caldo, pero aquellas muertes no las provocamos nosotros.Y en cuanto a la serpiente, tampoco fue culpa nuestra. Bueno... no del todo. Es necesario que todos los magos del mundo se unan. No tendremos otra oportunidad. As que all va la historia. Decidid por vosotros mismos. Todo empez cuando incendiamos Brooklyn. Se supona que era un trabajo sencillo: colarnos en el Museo Brooklyn, coger prestada un pieza egipcia en concreto y marcharnos sin que nos pillaran. No, no era un robo. Tarde o temprano habramos devuelto el artefacto. Pero supongo que pinta de sospechosos s tenamos: cuatro chicos vestidos con ropa negra de ninja en el techo del museo. Ah, y un babuino, tambin vestido de ninja. Definitivamente, sospechoso. Lo primero que hicimos fue enviar a Jaz y Walt, nuestros aprendices, a que abrieran una ventana de la fachada lateral mientras Keops, Sadie y yo inspeccionbamos la enorme cpula de cristal que haba en el centro del techo, en la que habamos basado la estrategia para escapar del museo. Nuestra estrategia no tena muy buena pinta. Ya haba anochecido, y en teora el museo deba estar cerrado. Sin embargo, la cpula resplandeca. Dentro, quince metros ms abajo, cientos de personas vestidas de esmoquin o traje de noche charlaban y bailaban en una sala del tamao de un hangar de aviacin. Haba una orquesta tocando, pero, como el viento aullaba en mis odos y los dientes me castaeteaban, no alcanc a or la msica. Estaba congelndome vestido con mi pijama de hilo. Se supone que los magos llevan ropa de lino porque no obstaculiza la magia, y supongo que ser una tradicin estupenda en el desierto egipcio, donde casi nunca hace fro ni llueve. En Brooklyn y en pleno marzo... digamos que no tanto. A mi hermana Sadie no pareca importarle el fro. Estaba abriendo las cerraduras de la cpula mientras tarareaba algo que llevaba en el iPod. En serio, quin se prepara una lista de canciones para ro- bar un museo? Sadie llevaba prendas parecidas a la mas, solo que con botas militares. Tena el pelo rubio teido con mechas rojizas, lo ms discreto del mundo para una misin de infiltracin. Con sus ojos azules y su tez clara, no se pareca en nada a m, cosa que los dos llevbamos bien. Me tranquiliza poder negar que la loca que tengo al lado es mi hermana. Has dicho que el museo estara vaco protest. Sadie no me oy hasta que le quit los auriculares y repet la frase. Es que se supona que iba a estar vaco. Ella lo negar, pero, despus de tres meses viviendo en Estados Unidos, empezaba a perder su acento ingls. En la pgina web deca que cerraban a las cinco. Cmo iba a saber que habra una boda? Boda? Mir hacia abajo y comprob que Sadie tena razn.Algunas mujeres llevaban vestidos color melocotn de damas de honor. En una de las mesas haba una tarta blanca enorme, de varios pisos. Dos grupos separados de invitados haban alzado a los novios en dos sillas y los paseaban por toda la sala mientras sus amigos revoloteaban alrededor, dando palmas y bailando.Todo indicaba que pronto habra una colisin de mobiliario. Keops dio un golpecito en el cristal. Incluso vestido de negro, tena problemas para fundirse en las sombras por culpa de su pelaje dorado, y eso sin mencionar su hocico y su trasero, que brillaban con todos los colores del arcoris. Ajk! gru. Al ser un babuino, ese sonido poda significar cualquier cosa, desde Mirad, ah abajo hay comida hasta Anda, qu tonteras hace esa gente con las sillas, no?. Keops tiene razn dijo Sadie despus de interpretarlo. Ser difcil colarnos entre la fiesta.A lo mejor si fingimos que so- mos de mantenimiento... Claaaro respond. Disculpen. Pasbamos por aqu los cuatro llevando una estatua de tres toneladas.Vamos a sacarla flo- tando por el techo; ustedes sigan a lo suyo, como si no estuviramos. Sadie puso los ojos en blanco. Sac su varita (una pieza curva de marfil con dibujos de monstruos grabados) y seal con ella hacia la base de la cpula.Apareci un jeroglfico hecho de llamas doradas, y se abri el ltimo candado. Oye dijo, si no vamos a salir por aqu, para qu lo abrimos? Por qu no salimos por la misma ventana lateral que usaremos para entrar? Ya te lo he dicho. La estatua es inmensa. No cabe por esa ven- tana. Adems, las trampas... Entonces, volvemos a casa y lo intentamos maana? pregunt. Negu con la cabeza. Maana empaquetan la exposicin entera y la mandan de gira. Enarc las cejas con ese gesto suyo tan irritante. A lo mejor, si alguien nos hubiera avisado con ms tiempo de que necesitbamos robar esa estatua... Olvdalo. Yo ya saba hacia dnde iba aquella conversacin, y no servira de nada que Sadie y yo nos pasramos toda la noche discutiendo en el tejado.Tena razn ella, claro: se lo haba dicho haca muy poco. Pero en fin, mis fuentes no eran exactamente fiables. Despus de pedirle ayuda durante semanas, por fin mi coleguita, el dios halcn guerrero Horus, me haba dado una pista hablndome en sueos: Ah, por cierto, el artefacto que queras... Ese que podra ser la clave para salvar el planeta, te acuerdas? Pues lleva treinta aos sin moverse del Museo Brooklyn, pero maana se lo llevan a Europa, as que ms vale que os deis prisa.Tenis cinco das para averiguar cmo usarlo o estamos perdidos todos. Buena suerte! Podra haberle gritado por no avisarme antes, pero no habra servido de nada. Los dioses solo hablan cuando lo ven oportuno, y no tienen muy buen sentido del tiempo mortal.Yo lo saba porque Horus haba estado compartiendo espacio en mi cabeza unos meses antes.An no haba podido quitarme algunas de sus costumbres menos civilizadas, como el impulso de cazar pequeos roedores o desafiar a la gente en combate mortal. Cimonos al plan dijo Sadie. Entramos por la ventana lateral, encontramos la estatua y la sacamos flotando por la sala de baile.Ya nos preocuparemos de la boda cuando llegue el momento. A lo mejor podemos distraerlos. Torc el gesto. Distraerlos? Carter, te preocupas demasiado dijo. Saldr genial. A no ser que tengas otra idea, claro. El problema era que no la tena.; Title: El trono de fuego: Las crnicas de Kane, Libro 2 (Spanish Edition) | [

Durante quince aos, Riordan ense ingls e historia en escuelas secundarias en San Francisco y Texas. Actualmente vive en San Antonio con su esposa y sus hijos.AdvertenciaEste libro es la transcripcin de una grabacin de audio. Carter y Sadie Kane me enviaron en otras dos ocasiones grabaciones como esta, que transcrib con los ttulos La Pirmide Roja y El Trono de Fuego. Aunque es un honor que los Kane sigan confiando en m, debo advertir al lector que este tercer relato es el ms preocupante de todos. La cinta lleg a mi casa en una caja chamuscada, con unas marcas de garras y dientes que el zologo a quien consult no logr identificar. De no ser por los jeroglficos de proteccin que llevaba en su exterior, dudo mucho que la caja hubiera soportado el viaje. Seguid leyendo y averiguaris por qu.1. La fiesta en la que nos colamos se va a piqueSadie Kane al habla.Si estis oyendo esto, enhorabuena! Habis sobrevivido al apocalipsis.Antes que nada, querra disculparme por cualquier inconveniente que haya podido causaros el fi n del mundo. Los terremotos, revueltas, disturbios, tornados, inundaciones, tsunamis y, por supuesto, la gigantesca serpiente que se trag el Sol. Me temo que casi todo fue por culpa nuestra. Carter y yo hemos decidido que, al menos, deberamos explicar cmo sucedi.Seguramente esta ser la ltima grabacin que hagamos. Cuando hayis escuchado nuestra historia, el motivo ser evidente.Nuestros problemas empezaron en Dallas, cuando las ovejas que escupan fuego destruyeron la exposicin del rey Tut.Aquella noche los magos de Texas daban una fi esta en el jardn escultrico que hay al lado del Museo de Arte de Dallas. Los hombres llevaban esmoquin y botas de vaquero, y las mujeres lucan sus vestidos y unos peinados que parecan nubes de algodn explotando.(Carter dice que en Estados Unidos lo llaman algodn de azcar. Me da igual. Yo me cri en Londres, as que tendris que esforzaros por aprender cmo se llaman de verdad las cosas.)Un grupo interpretaba viejos xitos de la msica country frente al pabelln central. De las ramas de los rboles colgaban hileras de bombillitas. De vez en cuando apareca algn mago por las entradas secretas que haba en las estatuas, o alguien haca aparecer chispas de fuego para espantar a los insistentes mosquitos, pero a grandes rasgos pareca una fi esta de lo ms normal.El lder del Nomo Quincuagsimo Primero, J. D. Grissom, estaba hablando con unos invitados y disfrutando de unos tacos de ternera cuando nos lo llevamos aparte para una reunin de emergencia. Me supo mal, pero no haba ms remedio, teniendo en cuenta el peligro que le acechaba.Un ataque? repiti, frunciendo el ceo. La exposicin de Tut ya lleva abierta un mes. Si Apofis planeara un asalto, no lo habra llevado a cabo ya?J. D. era un hombre alto y robusto, de facciones duras y curtidas, con el pelo rojo escalonado y unas manos rugosas como la corteza de un rbol. Aparentaba unos cuarenta aos, pero con los magos es difcil saberlo a ciencia cierta. Podra tener cuatrocientos sin ningn problema. Llevaba un traje negro con corbata de bolo, y en el cinturn, una estrella de plata por hebilla, como si fuera un sheriff del salvaje oeste.Podemos hablar por el camino dijo Carter y empez a abrirse paso hacia el extremo opuesto del jardn.Tengo que admitir que mi hermano irradiaba confianza.Aunque segua siendo un zopenco de mucho cuidado, por supuesto. A su pelo, castao y crespo, le faltaban unos mechones del lado izquierdo por culpa de un picotazo amistoso que le haba dado su grifo, y las marcas de su cara delataban que an no haba terminado de dominar el arte del afeitado. Sin embargo, al cumplir los quince aos haba dado un estirn, y las horas que haba pasado entrenando para el combate se le notaban en los msculos. Con su ropa negra de lino, y sobre todo, con la espada jopesh que llevaba al cinto, daba una sensacin de desenvoltura y madurez. Yo casi poda imaginrmelo dirigiendo un ejrcito sin que me diera un ataque de risa.[Por qu me miras as, Carter? Ha sido una descripcin bastante elogiosa.]Carter rode la mesa del bufet, aprovechando para hacerse con un puado de nachos.Apofis sigue una pauta dijo a J. D.. Todos sus otros ataques han ocurrido en noches de luna nueva, cuando todo est ms oscuro. Creme, esta noche caer sobre tu museo. Y caer con fuerza.J. D. Grissom tuvo que esquivar a un grupo de magos que beban champn.Esos otros ataques dijo. Te refieres a Chicago y Ciudad de Mxico?Y Toronto respondi Carter. Y algunos ms.Supe que mi hermano prefera no dar ms detalles. Los ataques que habamos presenciado aquel verano nos haban provocado pesadillas a los dos.De acuerdo, el apocalipsis puro y duro an no haba llegado. Apofis, la Serpiente del caos, haba escapado de su prisin del inframundo seis meses antes, pero an no haba lanzado la invasin a gran escala del mundo mortal que nos temamos. Por algn motivo, la Serpiente esperaba su oportunidad, y mientras tanto se conformaba con lanzar asaltos menores contra nomos que parecan seguros y felices.Como este, pens.Cuando pasamos junto a los pabellones, el grupo terminaba de interpretar su cancin. Una hermosa mujer rubia que tocaba el violn hizo un gesto a J. D. con el arco.Sube, cielo! le llam. Te necesitamos a la guitarra hawaiana!J. D. se oblig a sonrer.Enseguida, cario. Ahora vuelvo. Seguimos andando. J. D. se gir hacia nosotros. Es mi esposa, Anne.Tambin es maga? le pregunt.l asinti mientras se le nublaba la expresin.Esos ataques. Por qu estis tan convencidos de que Apofis vendr aqu?Como a esas alturas Carter tena la boca llena de nachos, su respuesta fue:Mmmf, mmm.Porque busca una pieza en particular traduje yo. Ya ha destruido cinco copias de ella. La ltima que queda es la que hay en vuestra exposicin de Tut.Qu pieza es? pregunt.Vacil. Antes de llegar a Dallas, nos habamos lanzado todo tipo de hechizos de escudo y llevbamos amuletos protectores que evitaban las escuchas mgicas, pero aun as me inquietaba hablar en voz alta de nuestros planes.Ser mejor que te lo enseemos. Rode una fuente, donde dos magos jvenes se dedicaban a trazar brillantes mensajes de Te quiero en los adoquines con sus varitas. Hemos trado nuestro propio equipo de lite para que nos ayude. Estn esperndonos en el museo. Si nos dejases estudiar la pieza, o quiz llevrnosla para protegerloLlevroslo? repiti J. D., torciendo el gesto. La exposicin est muy bien defendida. Mis mejores magos la patrullan las veinticuatro horas del da. Creis que en la Casa de Brooklyn estara ms seguro?Nos detuvimos al final del jardn. En la acera de enfrente estaba la fachada lateral del museo, de la que colgaba un estandarte de cuatro metros con el busto del rey Tut.Carter sac su telfono mvil. Ense a J. D. Grissom una imagen en la pantalla: la mansin calcinada que haba sido el cuartel general del Nomo Centsimo en Toronto.No dudo que tus guardias sean buenos dijo Carter, pero preferiramos evitar que vuestro nomo sea el objetivo de Apofis. En los anteriores ataques los esbirros de la serpiente no dejaron a nadie vivo.J. D. se qued mirando la pantalla del mvil y luego lanz una mirada fugaz a su esposa, Anne, que interpretaba la meloda de un two-step.Muy bien dijo J. D.. Espero que hayis trado un equipo de primera.Son geniales le asegur. Ven, que te los presentamos.Nuestro pelotn de magos de lite estaba saqueando la tienda de regalos.Felix haba convocado a tres pinginos, que se balanceaban de un lado a otro con caretas del rey Tut puestas. Nuestro amigo babuino, Keops, estaba sentado encima de una estantera leyendo La historia de los faraones, y habra sido una estampa impresionante si no sostuviese el libro al revs. Walt ay, querido Walt, por qu? haba abierto la urna de las joyas y examinaba las pulseras y collares por si fuesen mgicos. Alyssa estaba haciendo volar jarrones de cermica con su magia elemental de tierra, formando un ocho con las trayectorias de veinte o treinta a la vez.Carter carraspe.Walt se qued petrificado, con las manos llenas de joyas de oro. Keops se descolg de la estantera, tirando casi todos los libros. La cermica de Alyssa se hizo aicos contra el suelo. Felix intent ahuyentar a sus pinginos para esconderlos detrs del mostrador. (El chico se empea en que esos animales tienen mucha utilidad. Me temo que yo no se la veo.)J. D. Grissom hizo repiquetear los dedos contra la estrella de sheriff que llevaba en el cinturn.Este es vuestro asombroso equipo?S! exclam, intentando una sonrisa confiada. Perdona el estropicio, voy a ver si Saqu mi varita del cinturn y pronunci una palabra de poder: Hi-nehm!Haba mejorado mucho con ese tipo de hechizos. Ahora casi siempre poda canalizar la energa de mi diosa patrona, Isis, sin desmayarme. Y no haba explotado ni una sola vez.El jeroglfico de unir brill un instante en el aire:Las esquirlas de los jarrones rotos volaron unas hacia otras y se repararon solas. Los libros regresaron a los estantes. Las caretas del rey Tut salieron de las cabezas de los pinginos, revelando que en realidad eran (increble!) pinginos.Nuestros amigos tenan un aire avergonzado.Lo siento farfull Walt, devolviendo las joyas a su vitrina. Es que nos aburramos.Yo no poda enfadarme en serio con Walt. Era un chico alto y atltico, con fi gura de jugador de baloncesto y vestido con pantalones de deporte y una camiseta sin mangas que destacaba sus brazos musculosos. Tena la piel del color del chocolate a la taza, y una cara tan regia y atractiva como las estatuas de sus antepasados faraones.Que si me gustaba? En fi n, es complicado. Luego hablamos de eso.J. D. Grissom pas revista a nuestro equipo.Encantado de conoceros dijo, logrando contener su entusiasmo. Seguidme.El vestbulo principal del museo era una sala blanca inmensa con mesitas de cafetera vacas, un escenario y el techo tan alto que podras traerte a tu mascota jirafa. A un lado, una escalera suba hasta la hilera de despachos que ocupaba una entreplanta abierta al vestbulo. Al otro lado, por la enorme cristalera, se vea la silueta de los edificios de Dallas contra el horizonte nocturno.J. D. seal hacia la terraza de la entreplanta, donde haba dos vigilantes vestidos con tnicas de lino negro.Lo veis? Hay guardias por todas partes.Los hombres tenan listos sus bculos y varitas. Se asomaron un momento para echarnos un vistazo y me percat de que les brillaban los ojos. Llevaban jeroglficos en los pmulos, como si fueran pinturas de guerra.Alyssa me susurr:Qu les pasa en los ojos?Magia de vigilancia aventur. Esos smbolos permiten que los guardias vean en la Duat.Alyssa se mordi el labio. Como su patrn era Geb, el dios de la tierra, prefera las cosas slidas, como la piedra o el barro. No le gustaban las alturas ni el agua profunda. Y no le gustaba ni un pelo la idea de la Duat, el reino mgico que coexista con el nuestro.Una vez, cuando le describ la Duat como un ocano que hay bajo nuestros pies, formado por capas y ms capas de dimensiones mgicas que descienden hasta el infinito, cre que Alyssa iba a desmayarse del mareo.En cambio, Felix, a sus diez aos, no tena tantas manas.Cmo mola! exclam. Yo quiero que me brillen los ojos.Se pas un dedo por las mejillas y dej unas manchas relucientes de color violeta con la forma de la Antrtida.Alyssa se ech a rer.Ahora puedes ver en la Duat?No reconoci l, pero veo mucho mejor a mis pinginos.Hay que darse prisa nos record Carter. Apofis suele atacar justo cuando la Luna llega al punto ms alto de su trayectoria. Y eso serAjk! Keops levant sus diez dedos. An no he conocido a un babuino que no tenga un sentido exacto del tiempo astronmico.Dentro de diez minutos dije. Genial.Caminamos hacia la entrada de la exposicin del rey Tut, difcil de pasar por alto gracias a un enorme letrero dorado que deca: Exposicin del rey Tut. Montaban guardia dos magos que sujetaban las correas de sendos leopardos adultos.Carter mir a J. D. con asombro.Cmo has conseguido tener acceso completo al museo?El texano se encogi de hombros.Mi esposa, Anne, es la presidenta de la junta. Bueno, qu pieza querais ver?Me he aprendido los planos de la exposicin dijo Carter. Vamos y te la enseo.Los leopardos parecan bastante interesados en los pinginos de Felix, pero los guardias los contuvieron para que pudisemos pasar.En el interior, la exposicin era muy completa, pero supongo que los detalles no os preocupan mucho. Era un laberinto de salas llenas de sarcfagos, estatuas, muebles, joyas de oro, bla, bla, bla. Yo las habra pasado todas de largo; ya he visto suficientes colecciones egipcias para varias vidas, muchsimas gracias.Adems, all donde mirase, haba algo que me recordaba una mala experiencia.Pasamos junto a vitrinas llenas de fi guras shabti, sin duda hechizadas para cobrar vida cuando se las invocara. De esas haba matado unas cuantas. Haba estatuas de monstruos malcarados y dioses contra los que haba luchado en persona: la buitre Nejbet, que haba posedo a mi abuela (es una larga historia), el cocodrilo Sobek, que haba intentado matar a mi gata (es una historia an ms larga) y la diosa leona Sejmet, a quien una vez derrotamos a base de salsa picante (mejor no preguntis).Lo ms terrible de todo era una estatuilla de alabastro que representaba a nuestro amigo Bes, el dios enano. La escultura era del ao catapn, pero reconoc la nariz respingona, las patillas pobladas, la panza y esa cara encantadoramente fea que pareca haber sido golpeada repetidamente con una sartn. Solo habamos tratado con Bes durante unos pocos das, pero literalmente sacrific su alma para ayudarnos. Desde entonces, siempre que lo vea, recordaba una deuda que jams podra pagar.Deb de distraerme ms tiempo del que crea junto a la estatua. El resto del grupo se haba adelantado y ya estaba entrando en la siguiente sala, a veinte metros de distancia, cuando una voz dijo a mi lado:Psss!Mir a mi alrededor. Pens que tal vez me haba hablado la estatua de Bes. Entonces la voz volvi a llamarme:Eh, mueca, escchame. No tenemos mucho tiempo.; Title: La sombra de la serpiente: Las crnicas de Kane, Libro 3 (Spanish Edition) | [
