Abstract: Remo e Margherita sono giovani e smarriti, imprigionati entrambi in un corpo inospitale: lui soffre di bulimia, lei è anoressica. Almeno fino a quando non si imbattono l'uno nell'altra. E scoprono che insieme ci si può salvare. Remo ha ventiquattro anni e l'ultimo trascorso è stato terribile. L'ha passato chiuso in casa, a mangiare senza sosta, ingrassando fino a superare i cento chili. Stanca della sua indolenza da fallito, la fidanzata l'ha pure lasciato. Una sera, in un bar che frequenta con dei vecchi amici, Remo conosce Margherita. Lei fa l'ultimo anno di liceo e di sera lavora nel ristorante di famiglia fino a tardi. È appassionata, curiosa, un po' irascibile. Ed è bella, anche se pesa meno di quarantacinque chili. Quella sera cominciano a parlare e da allora non smettono piú. Passeggiano sulla spiaggia d'inverno, inseguono la luce abbagliante della riviera ligure, si aprono l'un l'altra. Pian piano si innamorano, senza mai dirselo, forse senza neppure rendersene conto. La notte di Capodanno salgono sulla bilancia per la prima volta. Lui pesa settanta, lei cinquanta. Che sia l'inizio o la fine della storia, non importa a nessuno dei due.

Abstract: `He'll be famous - a legend - I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter Day in future - there will be books written about Harry' Minerva McGonagall Strange things always seem to happen when Harry Potter is around. Things that unsettle his guardians, the Dursleys. They strongly disapprove of strangeness. It's only when a letter arrives, delivered by a shaggy giant of a man called Hagrid, that Harry learns the truth that will transform his entire future: his parents were killed by the evil Lord Voldemort, and he, Harry, is a wizard. Whisked away to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, Harry discovers a world of enchantments, ghosts, Quidditch, and friends who will stand, through everything, by his side. But when Harry hears of a stone with great powers, he finds that his school has its own dark secrets - and an adventure that will become the stuff of legend begins. These adult editions have been stylishly redesigned to showcase Andrew Davidson's beautiful woodcut cover artwork.

Abstract: A well-known fairy tale takes on a new twist! Once upon a time on the shore of the Salish Sea lived a bold, brave young girl bursting with the spirit of adventure.

Abstract: Sir J. M. Barrie's delightful creation, "Peter Pan," has by this time taken a secure place in the hearts of children of all ages, and there are few nurseries in the land in which Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and his Pirates, the Mermaids and Redskins, and the exciting world in which they lived, are not as familiar as the most time-honoured lore of fairyland.

Abstract: Penguin presents the audio CD edition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, read by Dan Russell. Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary. This was Mom's idea, not mine. But if she thinks I'm going to write down my "feelings" in here or whatever, she's crazy. The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy. But for now I'm stuck with a bunch of morons. Today is the first day of school, so I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time. Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.
